Procrastination and Other Enemies of the Current Regime
Ok, so I know procrastination is not really an enemy of our political leaders. But it is an enemy of mine, as right now I should be working on this paper I have due for tomorrow on femininity in the New South. Instead, I am coming up with catchy titles for blog reports and getting ready to do a lengthy survey I just found on my friend Katie's blog. So here goes. Don't hate.
FIRSTS::
First best friend: Melissa Helton, my kindergarten friend who loved me despite my tears and baby-like tendencies
First car: 1999 Yellow Volkswagen Beetle, not so unlike the silver Beetle that I now drive. I wrecked it when I was 16 coming around a mountain curve. It sucked.
First real date: I went to this guy Milton's house to meet his parents. He was taking me to the prom, so it just seemed right. He was 18, I was 13. I was cool. I wore a blue cardigan sweater from the Gap and spilt some sort of sauce on it. I was crushed.
First real kiss: I kissed Jonathan Sykes when I was about 12. We made out at a basketball game. It was sweet, albeit a little wet.
First break-up: Jonathan Sykes. I fell to the floor and wept when he told me. You would have thought someone cut my arm off. I remember listening to that song "Back for Good" by some British boy band and just sobbing.
First screen name: Violet on mIRC chat room. I played Violet Beuregard in a production of Willy Wonka when I was a kid, and liked the Hole song of the same name so it just seemed to fit.
First self purchased album: I don't remember. My first cd was The Bodyguard cd, but my parents bought it for me for Christmas, and they only got it because my mom wanted it. Sad, huh?
First funeral: I'm from the South, and we love funerals, so I don't remember.
First pets: My first fish were Wet and Water (creative, huh?), but they died, so I got a dog, Nicholas. I loved that dog madly. He was named after the Tsar of the same name. This is how I know that I am meant to be with a Russo-phile.
First piercing/tattoo: I got my ears pierced at 4. I am scared of needles, so I don't intend on doing anything else.
First credit card: I got it when I moved to Williamsburg. DAMN YOU MBNA!
First true love: I would have to say that honor would belong to Matt.
First enemy: Ladonna Olinger. Bitch bit me on my first day of dance class. I was three. Her mom told my mom that she was an unplanned child, so we blamed her inadequacies on that.
First musician you remember hearing in your house: my mom. She plays the piano. She used to do weddings and stuff.
::LASTS::
Last cigarette: I have never, and will never, smoke. But I walked into Tucker today, so that has to count for something.
Last car ride: driving home from school today
Last kiss: I kissed Matt today when he went back to work.
Last good cry: a couple of weeks ago
Last library book checked out: Half Sisters of History and The Belle Gone Bad for my paper
Last movie seen: "Suspect Zero" in theater, "Gone with the Wind" at home
Last beverage drank: a Coke
Last food consumed: some potato skins with sour cream I made for lunch
Last crush: I currently have a crush on Jelly Belly's. Does that count?
Last phone call: my mom this morning
Last time showered: this morning
Last shoes worn: brown Birkenstock sandals. Damn the rain.
Last cd played: Matt's Billy Idol/Iggy Pop mix cd
Last item bought: Jelly Belly's, chocolate and caramel apple in CW yesterday
Last annoyance: the hot water not working in my apartment this weekend
Last disappointment: I was making a Jelly Belly concoction, and the Jelly Belly that I thought was chocolate was in fact root beer. Nasty.
Last time scolded: Matt for something, probably for shutting his car door by the window or losing the keys or touching him after I have touched chicken parts.
Last shirt worn: purple long sleeve t-shirt
Last website visited: the Blogger homepage
Last word you said: "day." I told Matt to have a good day.
Last song you sang: "Closer to Fine" by The Indigo Girls
::WHAT?!::
What is in your cd player?: I have a changer: 1. Wes Charlton's cd he gave me 2. David Bowie Mix 3. Summer Mix that starts with Girl You Know It's True 4. some strange mix from high school with lots of Dave Matthews on it 5. Matt's Iggy Pop mix 6. Franz Ferdinand
What color socks are you wearing?: I don't wear socks. I hate them.
What Color of underwear are you wearing?: red. They say "I see France" on the front.
What's under your bed?: sweater boxes filled with sweaters, boxes of photos and mementos, parts of Matt's honors thesis
What time did you wake up today?: 7:30 when Matt got up for work
::FUTURE::
Where do you want to go?: either Princeton, NJ or Madison, WI
Where are you going to live?: probably there for 8 years or so, and then wherever. At some point I am going to live in Asheville, NC.
How many kids do you want?: 2
What kind of car(s): whatever, just not a minivan or SUV

Current mood: good, a little sleepy
Current music: Iggy Pop
Current taste: Coke
Current hair: in a pony tail

Current favorite artist: what kind of artist? I like Edvard Munch if we're talking visual.
Current book(s): War and Peace, Look Homeward, Angel, Absalom, Absalom!
Current color of toenails: natural, whatever color that is
So that's it. Had fun. I had hoped to learn something about myself, but oh well. It was still cool.
