The last time you.....
Smiled? In rueful identification with Lex's character.
Laughed? At the irony of Jack being Tapioca Pudding.
Cried? While listening to Stabbing Westward - 'Breathe You In' and hating irony with the fiery passion of a thousand Kryp-- sorry, meteor rocks.
Danced? In my kitchen last night. I did pirouettes in my socks on the hardwood floor.
Were sarcastic? The question is how long I can go without it. It's practically a survival mechanism in this house.
Had a nightmare? Saturday night.
Last song you heard: John Mahyer - No Such Thing
Last thing you had to drink: Starfruit Gatorade (from a sports bottle)
Last time you had an alcoholic beverage: Whenever I last went out with Nate and Yann to Full Circle. I'd kill for a glass of white wine right now, though it'd probably bring on the imminent headache that much faster.
Do You...
Smoke? I'm a social substance user.
Do drugs? I have access to whatever, but I choose to forge my own path to enlightenment instead of taking an hour's shortcut.
Have sex? When in the mood, I've been told I'm incredible fun.
Have a boyfriend/girlfriend? Nope. Don't want one either. More work and responsibility than I care to handle right now.
Have a dream that keeps coming back? I have several recurring dreams. Mentioning their themes might be more helpful though: running from bad guys, being the lone hero savior of the world seem to be the motif.
Have any gay or lesbian friends? Does closeted bisexuality count?
Believe it's possible to remain faithful forever? Tall order, but I've felt inklings of it.
Consider yourself tolerant of others? I'm kinda not, no.
Consider love a mistake? More like precious commodity. Most people give it away too easily.
Like the taste of alcohol? Champagne and wine. Otherwise, I don't really care if it's not too sweet and there's a chaser involved so long as it gets me shitfaced the fastest.
Believe in God? Not in the least. I do reminisce with fondness about those first little single-celled amoeba on occasion though.
Go to church? I sometimes have the overwhelming urge to sit in one for the long, empty pews, high ceilings, and sense of tranquility.
Talk to strangers who instant message you? Was offered phone sex for my trouble the other night. That was interesting. Creepy, but interesting.
Have any tattoos? Always on the lookout for the right one.
Have an obsession? We're back to basic necessities like oxygen. I almost need to have compulsive urges about something. Delightfully, at the moment that means researching Superman mythology, tracking down ritzy English carbonated water, and compiling a soundtrack.
Have a best friend? She's more like my alter-ego.
Have any bad habits? Nail biting, moderate trichotillomania.

4. read? The recap for last week's Buffy so I wouldn't have to suffer through the agony of watching the episode itself.
