Okay, so back to more nostalgia.  I was all excited about meeting Luanne, and our upcoming date.  We were going to meet for dinner and then head to a lounge somewhere to sit and chat.  It was going really well, we were getting along really nicely.  Her favorite music was Alanis Morisette, and I hated Alanis Morisette, but it didn’t matter because I thought she was so cute, and I just wanted to spend more time with her.  Our date was coming to an end, and we were about to part ways.  We hugged, I leaned in and we kissed.

It was all of a sudden fireworks and lightning and bells and triumphant music…. just kidding.  It wasn’t magical.  In fact, I didn’t feel anything at all.  I thought she was sweet, and I had a good time with her, but the kiss was lackluster.  No spark, just two sets of lips meeting for a few awkward seconds.  Disappointing, even.  We kept in touch via email for the next month or so, but never got together in person.   It just wasn’t meant to be.  Oh well, c’est la vie!

So enough about that for now.  I saw these questions on someone’s myspace page, and I found them interesting enough, so here are my answers to these ‘getting to know you questions’

1. Where were you born?

Toronto, Canada

2. What color is your hair?

Black (though it’s actually a dark chocolate brown, I just prefer the contrast of my hair when it’s so dark with my light eyes – exotic)

3. How tall are you?

5′6 (and a half! – that extra half an inch counts, right? If it were penis size we were talking about, you guys would count the half inches too!)

4. What color are your eyes?

My eyes are chameleon, ranging from very light blue, to a hazy green or even a piercing gray, depending on my mood and what I’m wearing.  Neat, huh?

5. What size are your feet?

7 and a half, though if I can’t find half sizes, I’ll take an 8 and use an insole.  My feet are a little broad near my toe ‘knuckles’ (not sure what to call that part of the foot!), and narrower through my arch, so pointy toed and narrow toed shoes don’t usually fit, even in the right size.

6. Are they ticklish?

Yes and no.  If someone catches me off-guard, then they can sometimes be ticklish, but usually  if someone uses a feather-light touch on my feet it feels really good, and scrambles my brain – in a good way!

7. What is your favorite movie?

There are many movies I consider my favorites, the kind of movies you can watch again and again without tiring of them.  I don’t know that I could pick just one favorite, but Pulp Fiction, Super Troopers, Star Trek: First Contact, Eurotrip, and Defending Your Life are among the top, that I can think of for now.

8. What’s your favorite TV show?

I don’t have a TV, and I don’t watch broadcast TV, but when a show is good enough that many friends keep telling me I should watch it, I’ll buy the DVDs and watch the show in a marathon, all at once, or over a few days.  Recently I was introduced to Star Trek (The Original Series) after being a long-time Next Generation fan, and I absolutely LOVED it!  Most currently, I’ve been hooked on House, MD.

9.  Who’s your favorite actor?

Again, hard to pick just one.  William Shatner is very high on the list, as is Patrick Stewart, Edward Norton, Matt Damon, Steve Buscemi, and Brad Pitt. (though for the record, I don’t find Brad Pitt the heartthrob that most women do, I just think he’s a really excellent actor!)

10. Actress?

Funny, I can think of a bunch of awesome actors, but for some reason, I can’t pick out a favorite actress at the moment.  It’s not that I don’t have any, just none are popping to mind.

11. Type of Music?

I like pop and oldies best, but basically anything that isn’t depressing or too ‘moody’ will do it for me!

12. Artist/band?

I really dig David Bowie, The Monkees, Britney Spears (yeah, I know), and Mika to name a few.

13. Color?

Pink (it’s my favorite flavor too!)

14. Sport?

Pole Dancing – oh yeah!

15. Food?

I have a huge sweet tooth.  Cookie Dough Ice Cream, Walkers Shortbread Cookies, and Cherry Chip Cupcakes are a part of my regular diet!

16. Season?

Summer – I like it hot.  While my answer to #15 might imply otherwise, I have a very low percentage of body fat, so I don’t retain much of my body heat, and consequently get cold quite easily.  Besides, I’d rather be taking clothes off, than putting more on.

17. School Subject?

Music was definitely my favorite subject, and I excelled at it.  I play the clarinet, and previously played the violin.  Dramatic Arts came in a very close second.

18. Do you have a best friend?

Yes, I do, and I treasure that friendship most dearly.  There are a few people i my life that are so amazing and so wonderful that I’d kill or die for – but let’s hope that never needs to happen

19. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?

I have many – variety is the spice of life, n’est pas?

20. Do you prefer Coke or Pepsi?

Pepsi, but the Splenda sweetened version.  Aspartame is awful in the ‘regular-diet’ Pepsi, and the original Pepsi is too sweet.

21. Dogs or Cats?

Cats, most definitely.  I think I take more pictures of my cats than most parents do of their children!

22. Desperate Housewives or Gray’s Anatomy?

I think these are TV shows?  As I mentioned before – no TV – and no one has raved about either of these to me, so I have no interest in checking them out.

23. Where were you when you first heart about the hijackings on 9/11?

I was working a data entry job for a temp agency.  It was my second day at that particular assignment.  There were 3 of us temping there, and when the shit started hitting the fan, all the regular employees were dismissed for the day, but because we were temps, we weren’t allowed to leave.

24. What’s the furthest from home you’ve been?

Probably Moscow.  I was there just this past summer.  I had an amazing time there too, it was nothing like I had expected.  I made some great friends there who I miss, and hope to visit again.

25. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I’ve always wanted to visit Egypt and Japan, but first on my list is Australia.  OMG, I have such an overwhelming affinity for the Aussie accent.  When I hear men from Australia speaking it instantly gets me all wet & tingly! (I’m serious!)

26. Who was the last person who said hi to you?

The waiter at the Greek restaurant I just ate lunch at.

27. Made you mad?

Myself.  I do my best not to set expectations of others that are unrealistic, so as to not get upset or disappointed by them.  I guess the last time I remember being genuinely mad at someone was back near the beginning of the year when that whole betrayal surrounding the house and who I thought was a friend in Los Angeles.  Now, I’m completely apathetic – they don’t deserve my attention, positive or negative.

28. Helped you fix something?

This afternoon at lunch, my friend helped me fix my internet connection on my iPhone. (yeay!)

29. Drove you somewhere?

Again, today for lunch.

30. Bought you something?

My friend Spanky bought me some Cookie Dough ice cream & shortbread cookies a couple of days ago.  I have already eaten them!

31. You messaged?

A British friend – We were discussing how funny it is that you never see baby pigeons, despite that there are so many pigeons EVERYWHERE! I saw a couple of pigeons milling about outside, so I thought of him and sent a message.  (I told him I still hadn’t seen any baby pigeons)

32. Sang to you?

All of us were singing together at lunch today – does that count?  We were singing “Let me smell yo dick”  Have you heard it? It’s hilarious!

33. Read to you?

I was listening to a book on tape a few months ago – it was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  I don’t know who the narrator was though.

34. Have you ever laughed so much, milk came out of your nose.

Yes.

…What? Were you expecting me to tell you the story of what made me laugh so hard, or something?  Isn’t that annoying that I haven’t?!!

35. Got gum caught in your hair?

Oh, I’m sure I have.  I’ve had long hair all my life.  I don’t remember a specific occasion, though I do remember it happened when I was young, and my hair was still naturally blonde.

36. Ate dog food?

Disgustingly, yes.  My friend was helping me pack up an apartment I was moving out of, and I had just adopted my dog because I couldn’t take her where I was moving to.  The house was just about packed up, when we found a package of dog treats called pup-peroni.  They smelled really good (I guess we were really hungry, ’cause I’ve smelled them since, and they don’t actually smell good!), and we were curious, so we broke off a tiny piece, smaller than the finger nail on my pinkie finger, and ate it.  It was so gross! We spat it out and laughed so hard at ourselves for trying it! (no, I wasn’t drinking milk… thought you might have had me there for a minute, huh?! )

37. Kissed a dog?

I’d kiss my dog on the top of her head or on her cheeks all the time.  Sometimes I’d kiss her feet because they were so small and cute! No ‘french kissing’ though – ew!

38. Aced a test?

All the time.  I was quite good at all of my classes.

39. Stayed up all night?

Yep, sometimes, when you’ve been up so late, it just makes sense to stay up, rather than get only an hour of sleep.

40. Can you speak another language?

I speak a bit of French – though I understand more than I can actually say.  I read Cyrillic but only understand it if they are English.

Well, there you have it.  More about me that you wanted to know – and maybe some that you didn’t want to know too!  If there’s anything you want to know about me, please feel free to ask.  Comment here, or email me if you like.  Violet (at) VioletMarcell (dot) com [sorry, had to break it up like that because my blog is constantly being spammed and spidered]
