remula | In which I ramble about WIPs, job hunting frustrations, and do a survey-type thing. (Reply)

I've been reading a lot of WIPs lately which is horrible since I hate having to wait for more, but I'm just really bad at telling myself not to read, lol. It's also making me feel weird because now I don't really have fics to rec since I generally dislike reccing WIPs. IDK, I just don't like subjecting people to possibly abandoned fics or the possibility that the story might go into DNW territory in the future because sometimes that happens. =/

I hate when you go and apply for a job online and they say upload/paste your resume, but they only accept text or Word files! I mean, I should really just make a nicely formatted text version of my resume, with all the time I spend C&Ping the stupid thing into boxes and then fixing them to look not-horrible. But still, SO ANNOYED! It's like, PDFs are freakin' universally accepted and I am the anal type who wants my resume to look the fucking same anytime you view it! Also, I spent the time formatting it to look just the way I wanted it in InDesign and having to submit a Word file (which, to me, is worse then C&Ping text) totally defeats the purpose of having a nicely formatted resume! x_x (Which is to say, I applied for a job and said company emailed me back asking specifically for a Word version of my resume and I've been putting it off because I'm lazy, but I'm gonna get around to it after this, but really, if you want a Word doc, WHY DOES YOUR UPLOAD THING LET ME CHOOSE A PDF FILE?!)

A survey thing, because I'm totally easy when it comes to these things.

1: Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
One door is open and one door is closed.

2: Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel?
Most of the time, but I don't really ever end up using them, lol.

3: Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
Tucked in? IDK, I just sleep on top of the sheets w/ a comforter.

4: Have you ever stolen a street sign before?
No, but I remember in freshman year, the guys in the suite across the hall had a whole wall dedicated to the signs they stole.

5: Do you like to use post-it notes?
Post-it notes are awesome. I have a giant stash of them from whenever I go to job fairs and stuff, lol.

6: Do you cut out coupons but then never use them?
Sadly yes.

7: Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of a bees?
Bear because bees are just gross and so much harder to run away from!

8: Do you have freckles?
Nope.

9: Do you always smile for pictures?
Most of the time.

10: What is your biggest pet peeve?
It varies. The only one I can think of right now is when people are just rude for no reason. I mean, even if you dislike someone, you don't have to be rude about it!

11: Do you ever count your steps when you walk?
Sometimes.

12: Have you ever peed in the woods?
Nope.

13: What about pooped in the woods?
Nope.

14: Do you ever dance even if theres no music playing?
Doesn't everyone? XP

15: Do you chew your pens and pencils?
No.

16: How many people have you slept with this week?
I sleep in the same bed with aznearthdragon everyday! XP

17: What size is your bed?
Queen.

18: What is your Song of the week?
I've been listening to Patrick Stump's new album this week, so all of them! But if we're going to just go with one song, Run Dry (X Heart X Fingers) because it is super catchy!

19: Is it okay for guys to wear pink?
At the end of my senior year of high school, the teachers came up with an award for each senior; there was a guy who got a "Most Likely to Wear Pink" award. (Which is to say, yes, guys can wear whatever they want to wear!)

20: Do you still watch cartoons?
Not really, but then again, I don't really watch TV.

21: Whats your least favorite movie?
The one that comes to mind right now is 17 Again w/ Zac Efron because that movie was just 250% secondhand embarrassment for me. NEGL, I couldn't finish watching the whole movie because I was just so uncomfortable and aznearthdragon finally had mercy and changed the channel (we were watching it on HBO or whatever at the time).

22: Where would you bury hidden treasure if you had some?
I don't think I would bury it because it just seems like a super hassle if I needed to get to it ASAP. I would probably hide it in random but easily accessible places or something, IDK.

23: What do you drink with dinner?
Juice. Lately it's been of the apple variety. XP

24: What do you dip a chicken nugget in?
Ketchup?

25: What is your favorite food?
IDK, I don't really think I have a favorite. It pretty much changes on the daily basis depending on what I'm craving.

26: What movies could you watch over and over and still love?
Pretty much any stupidly cheesy rom-com that I actually like. Seriously, I have had experience with this because most of spring quarter was spent rewatching the same 3-4 cheesy movies we had. These movies were: A Cinderella Movie, She's the Man, Sydney White, and Model Behavior. I mean, we had a few other movies too, but these were pretty much our staple, LOL. Also, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, Aladdin, Toy Story, and Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella (all of them, even the Brandi version, LOL).

27: Last person you kissed/kissed you?
IDK, probably my parents?

28: Were you ever a boy/girl scout?
Nope.

29: Would you ever strip or pose nude in a magazine?
Probably not.

30: When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper?
IDK, a long time ago. I've never really been the type to write letters to people.

31: Can you change the oil on a car?
I've never tried, but probably not, since I don't know how. XP

32: Ever gotten a speeding ticket?
Nope.

33: Ever ran out of gas?
Nope.

34: Favorite kind of sandwich?
Right now, I like peanut butter and banana sandwiches! XD

Around 1AM-ish.

37: Are you lazy?
Most of the time.

38: When you were a kid, what did you dress up as for Halloween?
Umm.. I'm pretty sure there was a time where I dressed up as a cat? And possibly a witch too? IDK, I only have vague recollections of dressing up in elementary school.

39: What is your Chinese astrological sign?
Fire rabbit.

40: How many languages can you speak?
English. I pretty much fail at everything else, lol.

41: Do you have any magazine subscriptions?
Only one: Architectural Record. Thanks to Joe, the Arch Record guy, LOL. (Joe is this adorable old guy who goes around to architecture schools on the west coast selling subscriptions to Arch Record. I remember there was a FB group for him -- I'm pretty sure you can Google "joe the arch record guy" and come up with results, lololo.)

42: Which are better legos or lincoln logs?
Legos for sure! You could do so much more with them than lincoln logs!

43: Are you stubborn?
Yeah.

44: Who is better...Leno or Letterman?
I don't watch either.

45: Ever watch soap operas?
When aznearthdragon and I were younger, we watched Days of Our Lives during the summers. It was seriously the easiest thing to catch up on what is happening even after we would take nine-month breaks from it because of school. Proof that soap operas move super slow, LOL, but how else could it be when there are a million characters and you only get, like, a few minutes of each storyline during an epiosode? I mean, you know you're only invested in one, maybe two, storylines anyway!

46: Are you afraid of heights?
Kinda, in that I'm scared of falling, but that doesn't necessarily stop me from going up high.

47: Do you sing in the car?
Always.

48: Do you sing in the shower?
Sometimes.

49: Do you dance in the car?
Not really.

50: Ever used a gun?
Only those air rifle ones that we had in high school ROTC. I wasn't very good at marksmanship, LOL.

51: Last time you got a portrait taken by a photographer?
Umm, senior picture in high school for the yearbook.

52: Do you think musicals are cheesy?
Yes, but that won't stop me from watching them!

53: Is Christmas stressful?
Kinda.

54: Ever eat a pierogi?
I had to look up what a pierogi was, lol. I don't think I've ever had one.

55: Favorite type of fruit pie?
Apple!

56: Occupations you wanted to be when you were a kid?
Astronomer, paleontologist, writer, singer, musician, actor, dancer.

57: Do you believe in ghosts?
No.

A lot more when I was younger. It used to freak me out a little because I would be like WTF DIDN'T THIS ALREADY HAPPEN ARGHHH?!

I take iron pills, if you want to count that as a vitamin.

Everclear during welcome week at Cal Poly.

64: Wal-Mart, Target or Kmart?
Target for clothes, Wal-Mart for school/office supplies and random stuff.

Cheetos.

68: Ever hear of the group Tres Bien?
No.

I wish.

70: Is there a profession you picture your future spouse doing?

Yeah.

77: Ever been in love?
I thought I was, once.

78: Who would you like to see in concert?
The list is long and varied.

I think it was a free concert at Cal Poly with One Republic, like, four years ago.

80: Hot tea or cold tea?
Hot.

81: Tea or coffee?
I don't drink coffee, so I guess tea, though I rarely drink it.

82: Sugar or snickerdoodles?
Snickerdoodles!

I don't know how to swim. =( It's sad b/c the beach is like, 15 minutes away from my house. =/

I can crochet, but only the very basics.

A room where you would use it? IDK, we don't use the fireplace in our house, LOL, but then again, there isn't really a need for them in SD.

92: Do you want to get married?
Eventually.

93: If married, how long have you been married?
Zero years.

No.

96: Do you have kids?
No.

97: Do you want kids?
Someday, except that I'm super scared of the whole giving birth part of it.

98: Whats your favorite color?
Black, but if we're not counting that as a color, green.

99: Do you miss anyone right now?
A few people.
