Oh, Surveys, how I love you!

[imood mood at time of entry: chipper]

Well, I am here to finally clean out some of my saved entries and surveys. I suppose that the surveys can come first, since I have things to store here like you wouldn’t believe.

First, I want to note the loss of Lytewyng, who left the site a couple of months back (I believe.). I thought about commenting on his last entry, but I would certainly be one to talk about him staying to indulge his DD friends. Although I fully understood his motives, I cannot say that I was happy to hear the news of his intentions.

I still remember the random way we met (Via the front page. I was drawn in by an entry titled, “The Scent of Man.”), the fact that originally thought he was a she, the awkward way I asked him if I could swear in his journal in my replies to his entries, and his journey through life as a college student. It still make me smile to think about on most of those memories. I say “most,” because my heart ached when I had to watch him go through some of the natural struggles we all face. I could relate. It’s what kept me going back for a read for nearly two years. Or was it more?

Anyway, enough of my reminiscing. I found the first survey a while back, and had yet to fill it out. I decided to do so this morning after the library filled up and I had to move to another computer. Read it, comment on it, do it yourself and then link me to it, I don’t care! It’s all a welcome response to me.

I have also recently discovered that I have tons of old LJ comments sitting in my Inbox that I either missed completely or delayed replying back to, and eventually forgot about all together. I’m split on whether I should go ahead and answer them or leave them be, because it’s been so long since they were initially sent out. I’m tempted to reply back to them, but I am obsessed with the idea that this will simply come off as strange.

I had been contemplating my femmeslash writings for a while now, and I made the decision to write more of the pairings last month. I’ve been working on it off and on, but I do hope to produce results within the next week or so. I am particularly eager to complete a surprise gift fic I am writing for Belle.

I am still thrilled as a tickled turkey to see that my story, “Peace Accepted” is ranked the 11th most read fic on Sycophant Hex‘s pure slash archive, Eros & Sappho (formerly Serpentsortia) over a few authors I’ve enjoyed the work of tremendously. I am still of the “What?! How’d that happen?! Who ARE these people reading my fic?!?!” opinion. : D

Anyway, without any further ramblings, my surveys.

15. Been to prom. – Refused to go
16. Cried at school/work.
17. Got lost in a Wal*Mart or a department store. – Hey, sometimes it’s hard to keep your barings in those stores. This was mostly true when I was younger.

21. Had someone of the opposite sex sleep over. – I wish!

73. Stolen a boyfriend/girlfriend from a friend. – Never!
74. Been out with your friend’s crush. – It’s always been the other way around.

77. Babysat
78. Been to another country. – I’ve hardly been out of my state, but I want to!
79. Started your house on fire. – This is a near miss Almost for me. My mom called me away when that shirt went up in flames, and Barbie was just trying to dry her hair on the space heater after her relaxing swim.
80. Had an encounter with a ghost. – Often. Every day, to some extent.
81. Donated your hair to cancer patients. – I want to, but it’s not long enough.
82. Been asked out by someone that you never thought you’d be asked out by. – Stupid, horrid ex boyfriend!

86. Eaten a whole carton of ice cream all by yourself. – While sitting on my behind all day.
87. Had a job.
88. Been dropped from a sports team.
89. Been called a whore. – In jest by friend and seriously by men I’ve seen on the street. Damned men and their hurt pride. If they’re trying to get into your pants, you’re the sweetest thing they’ve ever seen. If you reject them, you’re a stuck up bitch/whore/slut/ho.
90. Danced like a whore. – Does general grinding with friends count?
91. Been mistaken for a celebrity. – No, but I’ve been mistaken for everyone else in the world. Someone’s mother, another person’s aunt, someone’s ex girlfriend, etc. . .
92. Been in a car accident.
93. Been told you have beautiful eyes. – This compliment still makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and bat my eyelashes like the girl that I am. *sporks my girly self*
94. Been told you have beautiful hair. – I am split on this compliment. It usually comes with a generous amount of petting and too many people being in my personal space.
95. Raped somebody. – Ha!
97. Been rejected. – Who hasn’t?
98. Walked out of a restaurant without paying. – Never! I wouldn’t feel right doing it. I’m also much too afraid of going to jail.
99. Punched someone/slapped someone in the face. – Heck, yeah!
100. Had one dirty little secret that would make the likes of Draco blush. – I have several. *laughs*

Borrowed from: Terra

You know you’re a 90’s kid if. . .

(My mom still sings the lyrics when the re-runs come on. I am tempted to do the same as well, since the entire family would sing the theme song together when it original ran.)

You’ve worn skorts and felt stylish. (I had a bright red one, that I wore with my favorite, studded purple top.)

You yearned to be part of the Baby-Sitters Club.

You use to love playing with your My Little Pet Shop.

You know that “WOAH” comes from Joey from Blossom and that “How rude!” comes from Stephanie from “Full House.”

(!!!!! The WB is make a nice come back, though.)

You wore a ponytail on the side of your head and had fluffed bangs. (Hell, this was a bit 80’s, too.)

You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail Day in computer class at school. (No, but we here in Texas have “Go Texan Day.” It’s a big event every year. Everyone dresses up as a cowgirl or cowboy, and watches the trailriders come into town for the Rodeo.)

You wanted to change your name to “JEM” in kindergarten

You remember reading “Goosebumps.” (I still love these books.)

You know the profound meaning of “Wax on, wax off.”

(I STILL wonder this!)

You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.

(They are meant to be together, darn it! How dare the writers pretend that she found someone else?!)

You remember “I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up.” (Pfft, I know people who still say this every now and then. Hell, it’s STILL funny now!)

You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates.

You knew what it meant to say “Care Bear Stare” (My memory is foggy on this one. . .)

Remember Alf, the little brown alien from Melmac, and Vicki the Robot from “My Little Wonder.”

(in between my extreme babysitting fantasies.) and you owned a Skip It (Never did. I might have played with one once.).

You had at least one GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere. (I had a Pikachu, that some thievin’ *bleep* once tried to steal. Most people simply thought that it was a beeper, and I still miss the little guy even today.)

You watched the original Care Bears, My Little Pony, and Ninja Turtles. (Yeah!!!!)

All / some of your school supplies were “Lisa Frank” brand.

(Pfft. They were. I can still sing “Wannabe”!)

You owned multiple pairs of jellies. (I wanted to, but my mom never bought any! For those of you who don’t know what these are, they’re plastic shoes of varying shades that resembled jelly/Jell-o because of their bright colors and shiny, plastic finish.)

Your early swimming costumes had a skirt attatched. (I don’t think that all of them did. I know that my current one does. It’s a cute, mini with a tank top. Sort of like a tankini, with a short, flirty skirt around the bikini bottom. No, not Sponge Bob.)
