From:
Procrastination station.
My roommate is a much better cook; he alters and creates recipes, and is daring with his food selection. I can follow a recipe very well, and am good at sort of slapdash, one-pot meals. My curries are nearly always excellent.
2. What was your dream growing up?
Well, once I had a dream that I was eating soft-pretzel salt out of my hand, licking my fingertip and picking the salt up that way. My tongue was hurting, and I couldn't figure out why, until I looked very closely at one of the pieces of salt, and it had a tiny, grey face on it. The face screamed, and then all of the salt flew at my face, and I woke up.
As for the actual intended question, I told people I wanted to be a teacher, but I really had no idea or dream of what I wanted to be.
3. What talent do you wish you had?
Focus.
4. Favorite place?
Home, in a big armchair.

Brussel sprouts. I like vegetables in general, though.

The Hermaphrodite, by Julia Ward Howe, which I am supposed to be taking notes from right this very second.
7. What zodiac sign are you?
Libra. Flighty and elitist, but artistic (like that makes up for anything!).
8. Any Tattoos and/or Piercings?
Just piercings, in my ears, though I plan on getting a tattoo when I finally get my master's.
9. Worst Habit?
I have many. Probably picking at my face for the win.

Nope. Aren't you lucky? :D

Rugby, I guess, though fencing is a close second.
12. Do you have a Negative or Optimistic attitude?
Generally optimistic, though it's well-cloaked.
13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
Probably tell you a story. Convince you to pool whatever food we had on us and have a picnic. Sigh a lot, be quietly irritated with malfunctioning equipment.
14. Worst thing to ever happen to you?
Oh, the worst hasn't hit me by far. Getting hit by a truck is right up there, or being cheated on by a girlfriend.
15. Tell me one weird fact about you.
Nothing weird about me.
Or there's that I like to make loud noises when I am blue. FOOM.
16. Do you have any pets?
No, though I ought to. I am a cat person.

Even worse than scary, they are boring.

Pay off my student loans, buy a few books.

Mint of any kind, the long thin stick kind.

Read fanfiction, read books, take showers.
