I've Decided it's Sort of Boring When I Don't Lie...

Sorry, if you find this to be true...

Appearance


[x ] I am shorter than 5'4.
[x] I think I'm ugly sometimes.
[ ] I have many scars.
[x ] I tan easily.
[] I wish my hair was a different color.
[ ] I have friends who have never seen my natural hair color.
[ ] I have a tattoo.
[x] I am self-conscious about my appearance.
[x] I have/I've had braces.
[ ] I wear glasses. -20/20 vision, yay.
[ ] I would get plastic surgery if it were 100 safe, free of cost, and scar-free.- I'm afraid of suddenly losing something that makes me look like me... even if I don't love it all the time, or think I would be more attractive another way.
[x] I've been told I'm attractive by a complete stranger.--And I usually like it, if it's not coarse or startling.
[ ] I have more than 2 piercings.
[ ] I have piercings in places besides my ears.
[x] I have freckles.--Well, one or two. Rarely. But I have had them in my life, anyway.


Family/Home Life

[ ] I've sworn at my parents. --In front of. Mostly mildly, and rarely. Once, when I was a freshman in high school, I said "fuck" in front of my mom... which was odd because I don't even use it much now... but it was sort of embarrassing, because I hadn't meant to.
[ ] I've run away from home.
[ ] I've been kicked out of the house.
[ ] My biological parents are together.
[ ]I have a sibling less than one year old.
[?] I want to have kids someday. -Perhaps? Probably?
[ ] I've had children.
[ ] I've lost a child.


School/Work

[ ] I'm in school.
[x] I have a job.
[x] I've fallen asleep at work/school.--Always disconcerting.
[x] I almost always do my homework.
[ ] I've missed a week or more of school.
[ ] I've been on the Honor Roll/Deans list within the last 2 years.--I guess I was in school two years ago, but we had no Dean's List.
[ ] I failed more than 1 class last year. --Never actually failed a class. Hooray!
[x] I've stolen something from a job --I've used the printer for my personal stuff, and probably taken pens. Oh, and some thumbtacks..
[ ] I've been fired.
[x] I've skipped school. --Assuming we count skipping class?


Embarrassment

[ ] I've slipped out a "lol" in a spoken conversation. --How or why would that happen? You're verbally communicating and suddenly you accidentally say "L-O-L?" It doesn't make any sense to me.
[ ] Disney movies still make me cry. --Nor did they ever, though I do remember getting sort of choked up by The Little Mermaid when I first saw it... I thought having to choose between the prince and her family was very poignant, I guess. Which is interesting because it's not really my favorite Disney movie.
[] I've peed from laughing.
[x] I've snorted while laughing.
[x] I've laughed so hard I've cried.
[ ] I've glued my hand to something
[x] I've laughed till some kind of beverage came out of my nose. --Which was extremely surprising.
[x]I've had my pants rip in public --Not my pants, actually, and not rip. Which may beg the question of why I checked the box. Well, I was in Spain, Halloween 2002, outside of a little Irish pub in Seville. And (after a very eventful evening, in both good and bad ways), I stood up, and my sarong skirt fell right open. And I screamed. It was not the most pleasant thing that ever happened to me, in fact.

Health

[x] I've gotten stitches.
[ ] I've broken a bone.
[ ] I've had my tonsils removed.
[x] I've sat in a doctors office with a friend. --Nathaniel, in the hospital, and Maddie, my doctor's office buddy for the summer. Really, the fuck buddy part is a little more fun, but what are friends for?
[x] I've had my wisdom teeth removed. --All four in one go.
[ ] I had a serious surgery. --Why "a" surgery? Is that right?
[x] I've had chicken pox.



Traveling

[x] I've driven over 200 miles in one day. --Probably? As a passenger? I get very confused about mileage, to be honest..
[x] I've been on a plane.
[x ] I've been to Canada. --A mi me encanta la Canada!
[ ] I've been to Mexico. --Whoops, I guess I broke out the Spanish too soon.

[ ] I've cheated while playing a game.
[ ] I've cheated on a test. --There were times when I would look at other people's answers out of sheer itching curiosity and frustration, and then have to decide whether or not I would have been able to figure it out on my own... but I didn't deliberately cheat.
