Friday, February 27, 2004 Weather Man, I think my mood is too closely linked with the weather to be healthy. I was in a crappy mood yesterday, then I walked outside and realized it was almost springlike outside, and the crappy mood just vanished. More of the same today...:) Listening to: Maroon 5, "This Love" Not doing:cell bio research, cleaning my room So many distractions! Nabbed this from Tiff's livejournal -- the girl does nothing but come up with fun ways to distract me, I swear she does it on purpose...the other night it was Sympatico Say Mails.... It is a cool concept though, and it's probably the only blog survey I'll ever do... Instructions: 1. Copy this whole list into your journal. 2. Bold the things that you have in common with me. 3. Whatever you don't bold, replace with things about you. 01. I try to keep my desk as clear of stuff as possible... but it rarely works! it's gotten to a point where trying is pretty much useless.... 02. I'm wear size 8 shoes. 03. I don't like drinking water because it is so bland! 04. My favourite TV show of all time is still X-Files...despite the horrible debauchery that was the last two seasons... 05. I think Johnny Depp manages to be hot for playing hot characters, without actually being all that hot. 06. I'm obsessed with grammar and spelling. Mine might not be perfect, but it's pretty damn good. 07. I hate when people type in all caps online. 08. I don't really fight with my family. 09. The semicolon is my favourite punctuation; it's just so classy. 10. I cut my own hair. Or make my mom cut it. It works out pretty well. 11. Accents (English and Irish) make celebrities cute. 12. I wish I could just open a door in my brain, and really GET math and physics. 13. I took French for ages, but it doesn't show. 14. For fresh breath, gum beats mints hands down any day. 15. I would like to be ambidextrous. 16. Window shopping is a perfectly acceptable outing. 17. I hate facial hair on guys. Just... ew. *stubble is okay* 18. I secretly harbour a desire to be a travel writer. 19. I have not yet found the perfect perfume for me. 20. I don't like socks. I'd live barefoot if I could. 21. I wear makeup pretty much daily. 22. I still long for my high-school english classes. 23. I can imagine no point lower in the life of a celebrity than participating in infomercials. 24. Sugar should be banned from my diet, but that would be catastrophic. 25. My favourite season is spring. 26. I used to be somewhat shy as a child 27. I'm an only child. 28. I try to appear put together and normal to the general public...but I don't know why I try, I don't think it really works.... 29. I have multiple e-mail accounts and really only check one. 30. I love to go downtown 31. I think it's fun to cook, but I'm really, really bad at it. 30. I have one shade of lipstick that I buy repeatedly, and no other shades. 33. I procrastinate. A LOT. Like now. 34. I used to bite my nails, but not anymore. 35. I'm not big on planning social events. Once in awhile it's fun, but most of the time I prefer spur-of-the-moment things. 36. I love my boyfriend. 37. I hate my alarm clock. 38. I am a city girl and proud! 39. I like artists who write/compose their own music and can actually sing well LIVE (*cough*actual talent*cough*) 40. Dancing is my favourite form of exercise....that and yoga! 41. I really enjoy thoughtful gifts, even if they cost nothing. Still, I'll like almost anything just because the person took the time to pick it out. 42. The British have such fabulous vocabulary: bloke, snog, wanker, nob ..etc 43. I'm a bad bad person who downloads music rather than buying CDs. 44. I don't believe in love at first sight. 45. I enjoy just being by myself sometimes. Well, a lot of the time. 46.

Listening to:Something Corporate, "I Woke Up In A Car" Not doing:orgo prelab, cell bio research, orgo studying Playlist In lieu of boring orgo and other work, I'll instead write a list of random songs I've been listening to a lot recently -- I don't know why I like them, really, or why I've been listening to them so much, but if I go through my pregnant downloaded-music folder, chances are I'll decide to play one of these: The Nails -- 88 Lines About 44 Women -- don't know what this is...a sex diary? a little black book set to music? but it's kind of neat, in a bopping 80's kind of way.... Something Corporate -- I Woke Up In A Car -- I think this might be about running away, or finding yourself somewhere you never expected to be, and loving it. But it could just literally be about waking up in a car. Crash Test Dummies -- Superman's Song -- I just think this song is so cute. Actually I think most of their songs are cute. Off-the-wall, but cute. Bif Naked -- Tango Shoes -- so very empowering...not that I'm intending to dance away from anyone anytime soon.... Ben Folds -- Not The Same -- when your friends change in ways you can't understand, or go places you can't follow. Random bellydance/tabla music -- something about this music is really addictive, I'd brave all the Ilana Salazars (my current, crazy-perfectionist, self-important bellydance instructor) of the world just to hear it. Dire Straits -- Romeo and Juliet -- more people should know all the words to this song and it should be sung along to on long bus trips. It's kind of that type of song. Evanescence -- My Immortal -- oh god, I shouldn't even like this song, I should shun it with all my strength, but there's something really, really pretty about it in all its melodramatic angst. Sarah McLachlan -- Sweet Surrender -- I never got what the big deal was about this song, or why it was so popular back when it was, but I like it tons now. Garbage -- #1 Crush -- I just love the sexy lead-in I think... Rufus Wainwright -- Hallelujah -- such a pretty song with such bittersweet lyrics -- it's quite the combination. Moxy Fruvous -- Green Eggs And Ham -- this is a cool, smooth, distinctly Canadian take on a children's classic... Dashboard Confessional -- A Plain Morning -- ahh, the mellow songs about being separated from loved ones... Norah Jones -- Shoot The Moon or Come Away With Me -- I downloaded her stuff purely for background music at the cocktail party, and now I find myself really, really liking it. Go figure. Trio -- Da Da Da -- There's so much I don't get about the 80's. Why not add one more thing? Madonna -- Die Another Day -- they have, like, exactly 1 mix CD that they play in our student centre cafeteria, and this happens to be on it. Somehow I have developed a residual fondness for it.... Cowboy Junkies -- Sweet Jane -- there's absolutely nothing to this song, and yet I love it so much...don't ask me... So there you go. I'm sure there's a personality analysis in there somewhere. For my part, I'm off to *sigh* do orgo. ~SQ posted by susan | 11:53 PM |
