• I have lived in four states: Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas, and Georgia.
• I have never been out of the country.
• I played the flute for 5 years.
• I really like Martha Stewart.
• I take it as a compliment when people tell me I "look like a Marilyn."

• Lack of sleep makes me mean.
• My favorite season is fall.
• I got expelled from high school about a week before graduation.
• I read newsgroups constantly. I am unsure if I'm supposed to quit the Tech newsgroups now that I've graduated.
• I really like to take pictures, especially in black and white. Digital pictures don't look as nice in B&W as film, though.
• I want to have a really small wedding, but I also want it to be GORGEOUS.
• I love the grocery store. I think this is because it is like manatory shopping every single week.

• I like it when books and movies make me cry.

• I want to have lots of kids someday very far away from now.
• I failed two classes in college because I stubbornly refuse to do more work than I feel like.

• I first learned to swim when I was a teeny two-year-old.
• I've driven Volvos since I was 15, and hope to have my current one forever.
• I chose Slytherin as my house due to dubious ethics, a high degree of selfishness, and a love of the colors. This is not to say that I don't root for Harry. Because I love him madly.
• My livejournal name is from a song that got half-written about me in high school.
• I'm the absolute worst at keeping in touch with people.
• Ben Folds Five wins the prize for most concerts by a single band that I've been to, but it is only three. Ani will beat them soon, as she still plays, and they do not.

• My friends and I brought a couch to the movie theater ticket line for the night of the release of Episode I. I got the fourth ticket in all of Savannah.

• I was a waitress at a uber-nice Italian restaurant one summer and now know all the fancified serving manners.
• I also worked a summer as a guest services clerk at a beach resort, but don't think I learned anything of use. Except that ugly Hawaiian shirts are no one's friend.

• nicholas and I met on the Georgia Tech newsgroups.

• The name of this site "the question is wrong" comes from a quotation I used as my senior quote in the yearbook.
• British accents are definitely the best.
• Pete's Dragon probably wins for movie I watched most as a child. And kids sure do love to watch movies over and over.
• I should buy stock in Target, amazon.com, and Banana Rebuplic, because I cannot think about those merchants without NEEDING to go give them my money.
• I've tried all the flavors of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. I think Vomit is the worst. But Sardine is pretty freaking awful as well.
• I really like lipstick and mascara, but I hate all base/foundation/powder-type goods, and also steer pretty clear of blush and eyeshadow. Unless I need to be extra-purple or Slytherin-green for the night.
• I am hungry almost all the time.
• There was a Sesame Street sketch about Bert and Ernie visiting an ancient civilization, and a statue started to talk, and Ernie was around when it talked, but when Bert came back in, it would stay still, and Bert didn't believe Ernie that it was alive, and it scared the LIVING BEJESUS out of me. I would run to my room and cover my head with my pillow and try to forget that it was on.
• Ever since I read The Hours, I have to buy fresh flowers all the time.
• I brush my teeth instantly in the mornings, before I can do anything else.
• The coolest city I've been to, thus far, is absolutely New York City. I haven't been to tons of places, but also, I must honestly say that I like Savannah a lot.
• My favorite part of government is the Supreme Court. I think the Justices and their interactions and their relationships are fascinating.
• I listen to NPR and eclectic college radio almost exclusively in my car.

• It affects me very deeply when I don't think a person likes me. Worse than when I think someone actually dislikes me, which just makes me think they are a moron.
• Ayn Rand justifies my insane egotism and selfishness for me, and I love her for it. Besides, Atlas Shrugged is really fun.
• Purple was my favorite color for a really long time, but I don't know what it is now.

• I stayed up waaaaaaay too late to finish this.
