I tag the OHPA. But I specifically tag the A-G OHPAs. Which would be thekingofbabylon, tawdrysquid, annalikesthings, girlymaang, drizzydevito, darrenchris, and bodaroja. Leaving the H-Z people to be officially tagged by any of you, if you so choose.
WHAT WAS YOUR:
Last Beverage: Diet Pepsi. I am out of iced tea, and it's not time for my night tea. And my sister's Diet Pepsi is was the only other thing I could find.
Last Phone Call: My cousin! She passed the PRAXIS to teach ESOL. Which, of course she did? She's already taught English in China and Russia. But now she's gonna be doing it in the US, which means I get to see her more.
Last Text message: To my parents, telling them that I was doing laundry and actually naked, so they needed to give me ETAs.
Last Song You Listened To: In a Week, by Hozier. Featuring Karen Cowley. I paid for his music. I paid real money.
Last Time You Cried: Today, because I'm watching Scandal and (SCANDAL SPOILER STOP HERE) she killed Huck's family.
HAVE YOU EVER:
Dated Someone Twice: Nah.
Been Cheated on: Not to my knowledge.
Kissed someone and regretted it: Of course.
Lost someone special: Yes.
Been Depressed: Yep. But anti-depressants and therapy are beautiful things. And also significantly cut down the number of dreams in which I am violently murdered.
Been Drunk and Threw Up: No. Though, if I keep going to my friend's ballroom dance parties, this probs won't hold up. Did you know that ballroom dancers drink like the world is ending? Because they do. Jesus Christ.
LIST THREE FAVORITE COLORS: Turquoise, indigo, purple.
IN THE LAST YEAR, HAVE YOU:
Made a new friend: Yes.
Fallen out of love: No. 2014 has been delightfully drama-free on the romance front.
Laughed until you cried: All of the time.
Met Someone who changed you: I am a grown woman I can change myself.
Found out who your true friends are: This is a weird thing.
Found out someone was talking about you: In a gossipy way? Like, most of the time, it's not malicious. People are just concerned and stuff.
Kissed anyone on your FB friend’s list: Yes?
General:
How many people on your FB friends list do you know in real life: There are precisely three people I am Facebook friends with that I have never met in person.
Do you have any pets: Ginger, my cat. I named her that because the first night we had her, she fell asleep on my lap while we were watching As Told By Ginger. Also she's orange.
Do you want to change your name: I had a name picked out for years, back in the "I am going to run away and never look back" days. But, no. Unless whoever I marry has a cooler last name than me.
What did you do for your last birthday: First birthday party in years with Jenna. There was a birth reenactment. And the bequeathing of the flower crown, at midnight, when it was her birthday. It was a ton of fun, but I don't think I can do it again.
What time did you wake up today: 800 AM.
What were you doing at midnight last night: Watching Scandal.
Name something you CANNOT wait for: My cousin coming back from Colorado. Yes, she just left today. But she's in the country again and we spent the past month together and I already miss her.
Last time you saw your mother: I am staring at her right now.
What is one thing you wish you could change about your life: Like, I am the sum of all of the things that have happened in my life. If I change things, then I change me. I don't know. This is always a hard one. I wish I could just go back in time and kidnap baby Lauren.
What are you listening to right now: Hozier. I have his album on repeat because I am in love.
What’s getting on your nerves right now: Chrome messing with xkit. And the fact that Tumblr hasn't just fucking hired him to make their website better. Did they learn nothing from Bismarck.
Most visited webpage: Probs Tumblr.
Blood Type: No idea. I should know, but I don't. Also, why is this asking for my blood type. That's a weird question. Is this entire questionnaire a front for a blood drive or something?
Nickname: Lottie, but it's mostly a family thing. I've thought about trying to transition it to an everyone thing. I don't know if I'm a Lottie. (And Brick. And Nia.)
Relationship Status: Single.
Zodiac Sign: Taurus.
Hair Color: Brown.
Long or Short: Short. But I'm about five seconds away from buzzing it again, at any given moment. I'm getting a mullet again. Growing hair back is unnecessarily hard.
Height: 5'2".
Do you have a crush on someone: Shhhhhhhh.
What do you like about yourself: I'm really good at cutting people to pieces. In a completely metaphorical, non-murdery way. I don't cut people to pieces for real.
Tattoos: Two. Deathly Hallows symbol and Allison's code. With more to come, for sure. I already know what's next. Thomas Hardy. Not, like, his name. But a line from a poem.
Righty or Lefty: Righty.
First Surgery: I broke my arm when I was seven. I don't think that the scar is that noticeable, but virtually every person who sees it freaks out and asks me about it.
First Piercing: Ears. My sister was getting hers, so I got mine. The benefit of being a younger sister.
First Best Friend: Abby and Hayley, in preschool. Abby got married last September. I may have spent that entire day looking at pictures people were posting, drinking copious amounts of milk from a wine glass.
First sport you joined: Soccer. I got hit in the face with the ball, and then I was done with soccer forever.
First vacation: Probs the Outer Banks.
RIGHT NOW:
Eating: Nothing. I should get dinner, though.
Drinking: Still Diet Pepsi.
I’m about to: Resume watching Scandal.
Listening to: Hozier. Still Hozier.
Waiting for: My cat to think that I'm not going to pick her up, so I can pick her up.
Want Kids? Yes.
Get Married? Maybe. If it happens, it happens. I'd probs do it just for the dress.
Career? Fuck if I know.
WHICH IS BETTER:
Lips or eyes: Eyes.
Hugs or kisses: Really good hugs.
shorter or taller: Most people are taller than me, so.
Older or younger: Got a formula for this! Like the age that it is acceptable for you to date. 1/2x + 7 = y. So, my range is 17-28. (But older like Sam Waterston is a legit celebrity crush for me.)
Romantic or spontaneous: I don't get how these are different things? Like, way too much overlap.
Nice stomach or nice arms: There is a murdery response I could say to this, but eh. I don't know.
Sensitive or loud: Why not both.
Hook-up or relationship: I'd say relationship but I am an easily startled deer. But my last hook-up or whatever was a mess, so I don't want to say that either.
Trouble maker or hesitant: Hesitant when I want to make trouble, and trouble maker when I'm hesitant. Balance is good. And everyone's a mix.
HAVE YOU EVER:
Kissed a stranger: Yes.
Drank hard liquor: Yes.
Lost glasses/contacts: Not permanently, but everything gets misplaced.
sex on first date: No.
Broken someone’s heart: Once, on purpose. In my defense, they broke mine first.
Had your own heart broken: Yep. Not romantically. All of my heartbreaking has been platonic. And heartbreaking.
Been arrested: Not yet. I have been checked for gunshot residue in an airport. So, depending on how many more times I use the Cleveland airport, it's bound to happen eventually.
Turned someone down: Yes.
Cried when someone died: Yes.
Fallen for a friend: Not super seriously, but yes. How I figured out the whole "girls are cool, too" thing.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN:
Yourself: Fake it til you make it.
Miracles: No.
Love at first sight: Yes.
Heaven: I don't know.
Santa Claus: Can we talk about how the parents in every "Santa Claus is real" movie don't believe in Santa? And how stupid that is? Where do they think the presents are coming from?! There are presents they did not get for their child under the tree. Who do they think is leaving the presents. Who.
Kiss on the first date: Yeah. Kissing's great.
Angels: No fucking clue.
