1. what are your favourite ways to relax and unwind?
i'd say just about anything that involves some alone time. i don't necessarily have to be at home by myself, or even be alone in a room, but just where there's no talking involved. watch the young and the restless or the golden girls, read the interference and sa forums (and listen to my ipod!), whatever.

2. what do you do the moment you get home from work/school/errands?
sit. somewhere. a chair, a couch, i don't care if i collapse on the floor. at school, i literally walk miles back and forth. i'd love to know how long it takes to walk across one end of the campus to the other, so i could find out how much exercise i get at school, when i go, hehe.

3. what are your favorite aromatherapeutic smells?
vanilla!!!! and strawberry. i have some vanilla massage cream (hehe) and it smells heavenly. you can eat it, too. but it doesn't taste like vanilla pudding or yoghurt, so i don't, lol. i also like some of that relaxing smells, like where it's a combination of stuff to relax. we have some you're supposed to spray on your bedsheets to help you sleep. it's awesome, and totally works. and anything and everything that i smell whilst getting a massage is awesome. my masseuse is groovy. she always makes my back feel 100% better, at least until i move and all my back problems come rushing back like, "hey! you didn't really think you could forget about us, did you?"

4. do you feel more relaxed with a group of friends or hanging out by yourself?
by myself, definitely. hanging out with friends requires you to keep up conversation, etc. whereas when i'm at home, i can just chill wherever i'm comfortable and don't have to do or say a thing to anyone if i don't want to.

5. what is something that you feel is relaxing but most people don't?
well, for me, drinking fruit punch kool-aid puts me to sleep. yes, the kind with tons of sugar. whereas those glasses of milk everyone recommends keeps me up, mainly cuz two ounces makes me need to pee every two hours, lol. also, listening to any kind of music i like is relaxing to me, as long as it's appealing to me at the time. putting in pop could relax me, or maybe avalon. it all depends on my moods.

2. which communication method do you usually prefer/use: e-mail, telephone, snail mail, blog comments, or meeting in person? why?
with people who are far away, i'd say e-mail. it's a bit more personal than a blog, cuz anyone can read those. with someone here, i prefer meeting in person. i can tend to not wanna chat on the phone a lot, so if we meet in person then they have my full attention.

3. do you have an instant messenger program? how many? why/why not? how often do you use it?
yes, i have many. i have aol, icq, msn, and yahoo, but i condensed everything into trillian. i don't use it much because i don't really talk to anyone much via im anymore.

4. do most of your close friends live nearby or far away?
i'd say a little of both. i have close friends nearby and far away. it's a really tough call because i have more close friends far away, but i obviously talk to the nearby ones more, so it's weird.

5. are you an "out of sight, out of mind" person, or do you believe that "distance makes the heart grow fonder"?
uhhh...neither?

2. who was your favourite teacher? why?
i'd have to go with my senior english teacher, mrs. romero. she was awesome. i unfortunately lost touch with her, although i suppose i could always drop by my school sometime.

3. what is your favourite memory of school?
getting the fuck out of there.

4. what was your favourite recess game?
i used to play on the swings. i don't remember anything i did in recess past the sixth grade, anyway.

5. what did you hate most about school?
having to go. and now, it's not that, but the fucking boring teachers. the ones who just ramble and ramble, and don't seem to care that they're dangerously close to going over their allotted time.

2. what irritating habits do you have?
i suppose some would say my tendency to talk during a television show would be it.

3. have you tried to change the irritating habits or just let them be?
sure.

4. what grosses you out more than anything else? why?
my cats shitting wherever they please.

5. what one thing can you never see yourself doing that other people do?
being an ignorant hick.

2. what piece of clothing do you most want to acquire?
something i'd look terrible in, i'm sure. although to be realistic, a dressy tank top like i have, but one that's a bit longer and doesn't end at the waist.

3. what piece of clothing can you not bring yourself to get rid of? why?
everything. i'm a pack rat, it takes a lot for me to throw something away, especially clothes.

4. what piece of clothing do you look your best in?
my pajamas.

5. what has been your biggest fashion accident?
i don't have fashion accidents.

2. if time/talent/money were no object, what would your dream occupation be?
i suppose ummm...the manager or owner of some franchise, a tanning salon, restaurant, something like that. but a franchise, cuz then you get to see all your hard work pay off. it costs a lot to start one, but since money's no object, that'd be it. i could see myself running a tanning salon.

3. what did/do your parents do for a living? has this had any influence on your career choices?
my mother is an event support coordinator, and my father is a supervisor/customer service.

4. have you ever had to choose between having a career and having a family?
obviously, no.

5. in your opinion, what is the easiest job in the world? what is the hardest? why?
being unemployed is the easiest, since you don't really have to do anything. being unemployed is the hardest, because every time you talk to someone they want to know why you're not working and have some shitty job to suggest to you.
