Where was the last place you:
1- ate? Bob Evans.
2- had fast food? Wendy's.
3- listened to music? In my car.
4- went to sleep? My bed.
5- talked to someone? Upstairs, outside of the bathroom.
What was the last thing you:
6- ate? A piece of banana cream pie. (Bananas!)
7- put on? My jeans.
8- touched? The keyboard.
9- put your name on? A card I signed.
10- jumped on? A trampoline, bitches. Good fun.
Who was the last person you:
11- ate with? Hillary and Stephen.
12- talked to? Jenny.
13- touched(and what did you do? i.e. poke hugs ect.)? probably Hillary in our midst of laughing and taking random pictures in Meijer. Haha, we're so dumb. In that incredibly cool way.
14- IMed? Hillary, to chastise her for going to bed.
15- called? Hillary, to orchestrate us getting together.
Personal:
16- What’s your crush’s or bf/gf’s name? Oh, you just watch me avoid that question. I'm looking for something to occupy me this summer, and I don't know if you can qualify the person I have in mind as a "crush" per se (most definitely not a bf, though), so I'll just use that as my excuse and move on.
17- Who can you tell anything to? Well, there's actually a something I haven't told anyone yet, so I suppose no one, although Tricia, Hillary, Mom, and Dad all come close.
18- Who do you trust the most? See the above question.
19- Where’s your favorite place to go? Paris.
20- What religion are you? Christian. The open-minded sort.
RaNdOm-
21- What kind of shampoo do you use? Herbal Essences, but I'm in the midst of a switch to Paul Mitchell.
22- Favorite Comfort food? Ice cream. The cookie dough variety.
23- Favorite piece of furniture? I like big chairs in which two people can cuddle.

25- Favorite song? I don't have uno favorito.
NoT sO rAnDoM-

28- What would you like your name to be? I like my name, thankyouverymuch.
29- What planet are you from? Earth, they tell me.
30- What race are you? The human variety.
Either or-
31- Fall or winter? Fall. New beginnings, breathtaking colors, burnt scents.
32- Silver or gold? Gold. Warmth.
33- Music or Dance? Music.
C'est ma vie.34- Singing or playing an instrument? Instrument. Singing feels so natural, so commonplace.
35- Eating or sleeping? Eating. You can enjoy every sensation, whereas sleeping is a bit too non-interactive for me. Necessary, no doubt, but not an experience usually. Although the dreaming can be pretty good.
36- Pencil or pen? Pencil. If you know me, you know I'm not a pen fan.
37- PC or laptop? Laptop. I like the convenience.
38- True Love or an affair? True love, though affairs are down right sex-ay. (The while-you're-really-single sort, I mean.)
39- Guys or girls? I don't know. I truly enjoy the company of both, in different ways.
40- Girl friends or Guy Friends? Girl friends ... there's just more to talk about that's easier to talk about, plus there's never that awkward do-I-like-him stage.

10 questions to help guys understand girls
What is more important, looks or personality? Personality, and I'm not just saying that to not sound shallow.
Would you rather have a nice guy or a bad ass? Overall, a nice guy, though the rush of a badass may make him seem more attractive at first.
What is the first thing that attracts a girl to a guy? Kindness, sense of humor, smile, voice, appearance.
When it comes to sex do girls like it nice and slow or hard and rough? I haven't had sex, so I wouldn't consider myself an authority, but I'd imagine it's more of an individual thing as opposed to a gender as a whole thing.
Does size matter? Please see above.
As a female what is your ideal date? Anything that you can tell has been carefully planned, especially if there is conversation and eye contact.
Fat guys, skinny guys, or muscular guys? I like skinny guys, but I happen to
know for a fact that this is a preference thing. I know girls that prefer muscle types, and girls that prefer larger guys, and girls that like smaller ones. It really is an individual basis, but most will date any type really.
Is it good for a guy to be persistant? Yes, to a point. Persistence shows a sort of dedication, and it's flattering to a girl. However, once you cross into stalker territory, that's just not cool, so know when to stop.
Is giving a girl flowers a good thing or is it out- played? It's a good thing, though if it comes with a handwritten personal note it'll be much better and less hokey.
What do women want? A hell of a lot of things.
I'm not tired, and thus not really done, but Mom's yelling for me to go to bed ... I guess once the 4 o'clock hour comes around, that rings some sort of alarm. 'Til next bored time.
