palace of winds

9 lasts

1. cigarette: In college; a clove while making the trek down to Barnett for my Judaism class. Sweet cinnamon on my mouth and a brief spate of blissful dizzy, and then I spent the rest of class wishing fervently for a toothbrush. I never was a smoker, though; that’s the only pack I ever owned.
2. beverage: I’m having a big old mug of chai right now.
3. kiss: Alex-roo, Wednesday night. His chubby little cheeks demand kissing.
4. hug: Yar. One of my family members, Wednesday. I don’t remember who was last. Mel, I think.
5. movie seen: Serenity! Just last night. :D
6. cd played: Uh. Man. Now that I have YME, I don’t really play cds like that. I’m listening to Kings of Convenience right now, though.
7. song listened to: I…have no idea. I just started listening so I haven’t actually *heard* anything yet.
8. bubble bath: Oi, *bubble* bath? Probably…a month or two ago. I took a bath with epsom salts…earlier this week? Last week? For my back, informing me I’d lifted too heavy the day before.
9. time you cried: Uh. I dunno. It’s been a while. TAKE THAT, birth control!

8 have you evers

1. dated one of your best friends: Nope.
2. skinny dipped: Alas not.
3. kissed somebody and regretted it: Eh, not really.
4. fallen in love: Nope.
5. lost someone you loved: Yes.
6. been depressed: Yep.
7. been drunk and threw up: Nope.
8. ran away: Not like ran-away-from-home in the kid sense. There was the time Steph and I hid from a certain someone in her room… Does that count?

6 things you’ve done today

I should’ve waited and filled this out later in the day…

1. Dreamt of getting ready to go to Ikea with my mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, and Jocey. Jocey wanted a white couch she’d seen there, and a few other things I can’t remember. Somewhere we’d gotten a red pickup truck for hauling all the purchases.
2. Eaten berry waffles with slices of banana and a drizzle of maple syrup.
3. Made lunch: a big spinach salad with carrots, cucumber, and red peppers, and more carrots for dipping in a bit of leftover hummus.
4. Gotten a call from my third boss-sort-of-person that he won’t be in today either. All Rachel all day, woo. S’gonna be a quiet one.
5. Finished Arthur & George — good stuff.
6. Finally ordered those Veronica Mars t-shirts from TWOP/Glarkware. Such good timing for the offer, t-shirt people!
