Blind Eyes Closed

----The time is now. ----"Sometimes someone says something really small and it just fits into this empty place in your heart."

Archivies!

If you could look like anything...anything at all....what would you look like? I'd be the wind. ...........It's easy to be someone's friend when all you need is someone to console you. It's much harder to be there for them when they're happy all the time. .............Even when I say nothing, it's a beautiful use of negative space.

Blind Eyes Closed

Saturday, March 16, 2002

Just kinda because "what else am I going to do?" and Alissa said she didn't think anyone else would respond. So HA! ;-)

1. IF YOU COULD BUILD YOUR HOUSE ANYWHERE, WHERE
WOULD IT BE? My dream house (location too, I guess) was this one that was accross the lake from Echo. Now that I'm not-so in love with Echo, I still love the house 'cause it's such a beautiful spot.

2. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ARTICLE OF CLOTHING? After being dragged (okay, I guess I went willingly...) clubbing with Nik and Rebecca and Rebecca made the comment "and Nora, why aren't your clothes just CLINGING to your body?" and I realized I didn't own any that did, I figured I'm most comfortable in my brown pants and Less Than Jake hoodie.

3. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PHYSICAL FEATURE OF THE
OPPOSITE SEX? I love being able to look into someone's eyes and see love.

4. WHAT'S THE LAST CD THAT YOU BOUGHT? Punk-o-rama 1 (which is lost somewhere in Erik's car) and Poetry to classical music.

5. WHERE'S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO BE? I've always looked forward to concerts. Being at the cafe and absorbing the atmosphere when Alan's playing has always been amazing, and when Ruthie & Alan took me to the Fireside after I hadn't been there in over a year and I could close my eyes and feel the music running through my heart I felt very at-home.

6. WHERE'S YOUR LEAST FAVORITE PLACE TO BE? There's no place I really dread. I guess it always sucks to be someplace with people that you don't matter to or don't think you're worthwhile.

7. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO BE MASSAGED?
lower back and feet. I actually find it very relaxing to give other people foot massages, but if you want one you'll have to wash your feet in the sink first 'cause I don't touch dirty feet. And I guess hand massages are very nice, although I've only had one good one (thank you, dan)

8. WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT, STRONG IN MIND OR STRONG IN
BODY? Physical strength is extremely overrated.

9. WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING? My alarm goes off around 7:00, but I don't really get out of bed until 7:15.

10. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW? I rarely watch tv nowadays. I've become increasingly addicted to Disney Channel original movies thanks to Sarah Rios, so I watch a lot of those, and english has made the Simpsons ever-so-much-more enjoyable now that I get so many of the references.

11. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE KITCHEN APPLIANCE? I don't spend much time in the kitchen. I guess I would if I went back to mitsuwa and got that hello-kitty waffle iron or the dinosaur toaster (it burns dinosaurs into your toast! What else could you ever ask for?)

12. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MEMORY? Listening to my grampa tell us stories that involved wiggling his ears, and playing in our house in Wisconsin. I'd like to go back and visit sometime.

13. WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH? Grant's always had a gift, but it really isn't hard to amuse me. When I was a baby my mother would put me on the kitchen counter and hang measuring spoons in front of my face, and I would sit and hit them (and giggle) for hours.

14. WHAT MAKES YOU REALLY ANGRY? When people assume I have nothing to say when I really do. When people don't listen. When people don't have regard for other people's opinions or feelings, so everything comes out offensive.

16. FAVORITE RESTAURANT/CAFE/EATERY? It's all about Dixie Kitchen and Trattoria Demi. And Kafein, of course.

17. SCARIEST MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE? When my mother told me my dad has cancer.

18. IF THERE WAS A MOVIE MADE ABOUT YOU, WHAT
CURRENT/FORMER HOLLYWOOD STAR WOULD PLAY YOU?
I've been told I could be played by Claire Danes, which makes me EXTREMELY happy (I <3 her so much).

19. DO YOU BELIEVE IN AFTERLIFE? Not really. I like to think that when we die we just lie down and dream forever.

20. FAVORITE CHILDREN'S BOOK? I have a collection of "Nora" books. I think my favorites were "Nora's Stars" and "Busybody Nora".

21. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON? It's all about winter. Yeah, being cold isn't all THAT fun, but it's so much more comfy to sit in front of a fire with hot cocoa than it is to sprawl out in front of an air-conditioner.

22. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE HOUSEHOLD CHORE? Cleaning my room. The state of my room has just gone straight downhill since I got home from Syracuse in August.

23. IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
"3. You cannot overdose on Vitamic C. So I got these "Halls Vitamin C Supplement Drops" that advertise that they're "100% Daily Value of Vitamin C in each drop." But they're so good! So naturally I had to finish off the bag the day I got them. 3000% of my daily value of Vitamic C. I'm working on the second bag. And while I'd hoped for some sort of citrus-related super power, according to Google, all I have to look forward to is nausea and diarrhea. Which are, I might add, the worst super powers ever. But then again, if we were going to have a "Really, Really Doesn't Have Scurvy Contest," I'd so win. "

I think I'd just like some Vitamin-C related super powers. (compliments of Ben Popik at www.tweebiscuit.net/ben)

24. IF YOU HAVE A TATTOO, WHAT IS IT? nope. But if I got one it'd be the itsy-bitsy-spider around some toe (or so I thought in 7th grade. It's not going to happen.)

25. WHO WAS YOUR FIRST LOVE AND AT WHAT AGE? I always thought my first love was Erik a couple years ago, but then I started dating Grant and everything I ever felt for anyone else was extremely paled in comparison. It's amazing to be able to feel your heart going out to someone else, even if he lives in the middle of Missouri.

26. THE SONG YOU WISHED YOU HAD WRITTEN? I've given up on trying to kid myself into thinking I could write music. I've now grown to rely on other people writing it for me. :-P Mike Cheever owes me a song for coming to see him in writers showcase. But, of course, there are a few select Alan songs (I don't know what they're called) that never cease to amaze me every time I hear them.

27. DO YOU PREFER CATS OR DOGS? Dogs

28. WHAT'S IN THE TRUNK OF YOUR CAR? Oh goodness I don't have the faintest idea. I'm kind of scared of my trunk. I think there are some Babysitter's Club videos and a couple blankets and some jumper cables.

29. FROM THE PEOPLE YOU E-MAILED THIS TO, WHO IS MOST
LIKELY TO RESPOND? no one, really. I've never sent these out expecting response, I just like thinking that maybe you're all learning something.

30. FROM THE PEOPLE YOU E-MAILED THIS TO WHO IS THE
LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND? Alissa since she sent this to me in the first place. And I guess Tom 'cause I haven't even talked to him in a number of months. (hi tom!)

31. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DAY? Wednesday. it's Hump Day! (the only thing I miss from Haven is mrs. Williams running up and down the halls on Wednesdays screaming "Happy Hump Day!!")

32. USING ONLY ONE WORD DESCRIBE YOURSELF?
I don't think I could do this for myself. You should all e-mail me back with one word that describes me.

33. SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS
TO YOU! She didn't give me pink eye. And I love her to death for not being afraid to be herself.

(does anyone else ever miss these?)
