thanks, Sarah.  i haven't posted on this thingamajig since that entry about Kill Bill.  but i thought this looked like fun (read: a way to procrastinate a bit).  anyway, don't think this means i'm going to get all post-y here or anything!  i'm still no huge fan of MySpace.  i'll save most of my important things for ari8silver.blogspot.com / ari8silver.livejournal.com (both the same thing, mind you).

anyway, here:

1. I've come to realize that my ex...
...is someone I can care deeply about without loving "in that way". (I don't understand why this thing assumes you only have One Ex, but okay...just assume I mean that about more than one, please....)

2. I am listening to...
...the low hum of the fans of our 5 office computers, and the ticking of my typing.  Not much else right now.

3. I talk...
...more than I should at certain times, and less than I should at others.  I often get scared that I can't represent myself well when I am trying to speak my mind.  I'm absolutely terrible at thinking on my feet -- I much prefer to write.

4. I love..
...so many things, and so many people.  But don't get me wrong -- I'm very selective about who & what to bestow that love upon.  I just enjoy quite a variety of things.

5. My best friends..
...are so good to me.  I don't know what I'd do without them.

6. My first real kiss...
...was really very nice.

7. I hate it when people...
...to quote Sarah: "act as if they are the only ones who exist" -- I so concur!!  People can be such assholes, and so selfish.  I suppose everyone has to be at some point, but I prefer people to do it on their own time.  Ugh.

8. Love is...
...a wonderful feeling.  To love & to be loved.  I wish both, for everyone.

p.s. Where is #9?

10. Marraige...
...isn't a word.  But if that means "marriage" (hehe) then I'd say it's way overrated & not for me.  I wouldn't even want to consider it until my gay friends can also wed, but even then, I just don't care all that much about it.  I'm very happy the way things are right now.  I do like a commitment, but does it have to be before God, the State, and several dozen people?  Why can't it just be between me & my partner?  Isn't that who it's really all about, anyway?

11. Somewhere, someone is...
...probably in trouble, and I wish there was more I could do to help.  I constantly struggle with the balance of making myself happy & wanting to make sure everyone else is, too.

12. I always...
...write too much.  Emails (and things like these) end up being way too long, because I want to say the same thing 3 different ways (to make sure it sounds good) instead of just once.  Or, I feel the need to explain myself more than I probably actually have to.  Oy.

13. I have a secret crush on...
...nobody.  I have an open crush on Dan, and I tell him that often. :)

14. The last time I cried was because...
...I saw or read something sad, probably.  People would call that "PMSing", but I don't think that's the case for me because I cry at those kinds of things at the drop of a hat, that-time-of-month or no.

15. My cell phone...
...has a Google no-slip-pad on it & an adorable cell phone charm I found in Japan (Hello Kitty in a white radish!), but I am going to have to give up both of those things soon, when I move onto a better plan.  Sad!

16. When I woke up this morning...
...I wished that it wasn't a workday again!  I've been enjoying my time off.  But at least I did get to snuggle a bit before actually having to get out of bed.

17. Before I go to sleep at night...
...I brush my teeth & wash my face.  Nothing all that thrilling. Oh, and I change into pajamas.  I also usually am half-distracted because  there are a zillion things I wanted to get done that day, and I haven't managed to do most of them!  Bah.

18. Right now I am thinking about...
...how I really should get back to work.  Soon, I promise!  I just really needed a break.

19. Babies are...
...meh.  Cute, but not necessarily for me.  We'll see how that changes as I get older....

20. I get on MySpace...
...very rarely.  Usually only when I have been told someone messaged me (about 3 weeks earlier) or if I am looking someone/something up.  I stopped getting those reminder emails from MySpace for some reason, so I just don't remember it as much anymore!

21. Today I...
...have been trying to catch up on everything, after being away since Wednesday.  All I want to do is clean the house and catch up on work, but I'm just so overwhelmed by where to start, that I'm on here instead! Heh.

I'm good at remembering names:  false.  i usually have to ask several more times, or ask other people so i don't look like a total fuckup for not knowing their name like 3 weeks later.  but every once in a while a name sticks with me, either because i really like it or because i have some way of associating it with something else.
I'm good at remembering dates:  i used to be the only person who remembered people's birthdays, before the advent of social networking sites that remind everyone!  oh, well.  i never was great at actually associating a date with a person (not like Naz's dad!), but i was really good about writing them all down in my planner & then copying them over from year to year.  yeah.  i know i am such a loser.

since they said to use this for movie recommendations, i have to say that anyone who hasn't yet (and who isn't terribly squeamish!) *must* go see Kill Bill. NOW! =]
