How do you feel today?
Soloman Sang (I feel like pretending to split babies in half to find the real mum, apparently.)
What is your life’s purpose?

What is your motto?
Where Is My Mind? - Pixies (freakishly accurate)
What do you think about very often?
Road - Nick Drake (okay, this is creeping me out, since I think about place/geography ALL THE TIME)

What is your hobby/interest?
When Something Is Wrong With My Baby - Sam & Dave (This would be apt for Re ne the Roommate, who has a degree in psychology, or, more literally, for Jo hn the BF, who is a paramedic...unless we are talking about the carthartic healing powers of poetry...I can't finish writng that without laughing)
What is your biggest fear?
Don't Stop - Rolling Stones (I'm afraid of stopping.)

Guess What????
I have to post a poem to the poetry blog, do my taxes, continue packing, do the laundry and keep reading for the crit thesis. But guess what I'm going to do instead:
I don't think any kiss is a mistake and my last one definitely was not.
When was the last time you cried?
Sunday when I rewatched "Stranger Than Fiction"
Where is your father right now?
Speaking of crying...in a box on top of the television, in a box at the veteran cemetery in Bourne and where-ever it is you go after you die.
What do you think of your number 2 on your top friends?
Ben Harper is one of my phantom husbands
What is bothering you right now?
Bizzy bizzy bizzy: thesis, $$$, reorganizing the website, packing and unpacking and moving, the fact that I have no free weekend until June
Have you ever seen somebody get shot?
No, not even in Lewiston. There was that fight once at Gene's and someone said, "next time I"ll bring my AK!" but that never happened.
Have you ever taken a picture in a bathroom mirror?
Yes. Especially right after I get my hair cut.
Do you use big words?
Yes. Not now but...yes.
Have you ever been called a 'slut' or 'manwhore'?
My bratty sister calls me all manner of terrible things but that's because she's big dumb jock.
Does your head hurt right now?
How did you know? You're like, psychic!
Wheres your ex right now?
Which one? It doesn't matter -- I'd say 6 out of 10 are in Maine, so chances are "in Maine" is the right answer.
Do you miss someone?
Yes, I miss lots of people.
Have you ever injected a drug?
I think I had a morphine drip when I had appendicitis
Look to your right, what is there?
My loveseat
Have any piercing or tattoos?
Butterfly and ears
Do you fight with your parents often?
When I didn't live at home, I got along swell with everyone in this house. Now a days...well, its hard to live with your mum after you lived on your own for 10 years. I have my way of doing things (the right way), she has her way (the asinine way). So, I suspect when we're not fussing about where to put the mail and store the travel coffee mugs, we'll get along great again.
Where is the shirt you are wearing from?
Marshalls and Old Navy
Have you ever been in a car accident?
Two. Rear Ended both times.
Do you have to check in with your parents before you go someplace?
No. That would be too much.
The thing that was bothering you before, is it still bothering you?
That is a stupid question. How long did you suspect it would take to fill out this survey
Have you ever hated someone, but ended up being friends with them?
Not that I can remember.
Whose bed did you sleep in last night?
My own. before that it was the Alicia's bed in the Cape
Do you think the whole day is better if you smoke pot?
Ah, no. I'm not a pot smoker. More power to those people though.
Has anyone ever saved your life?
I don't think so.
Do you get good grades?
Yes
What are you looking forward to?
Finally effing moving
Is it hard to get over someone?
Depends on the relationship.
What is your mood right now?
Rejoicing! Manny JUST hit a homerun to gain the lead against the Indian in the 9th inning AS I READ that question. So, what else could I be?
Who is your last text from?
I don't know. I haven't gotten a text in the last week.
What is the last movie you watched at the cinema?
Junop
Did you date anyone last summer?
Yes
What song calms you down when you're mad?
All of the songs off of Blue Horse by the Be Good Tanyas. It reminds me of a very free time - summer of 2003: I didn't work, traveled all around the country, went down to the Goose and 33 all the time, lived at 214 Russel and wrote a (crappy? IDK, haven't looked at it since) novel.
Do you still talk to the person you fell hardest for?
Yes.
Have you ever kissed someone 16 or older?
If I'm kissing people under 16, then that's a PROBLEM. (this was rene's answer and I'm keeping it too because it's hilarious and right on)
Do you delete people off of myspace?
No, but I don't accept random people as friends.
You still talk to the person who hurt you the most?
Ugh, absolutely not. But that was almost a decade ago, so I mustn't be so hard on myself about my poor taste in judgment.
