• A: Are you a virgin?
• Not since I was 16, no. My first girlfriend came up with the idea to skip favorites dance to lose our virginity in a hotel. I had an older friend to pick us up and get the room, so after being dropped off we ditched the dance, waited in the rain, found a hotel, and did the deed. I’ve only slept with 5 people, but I’ve had two very long relationships, so I think that makes up for it.
• B: 3 biggest pet peeves
• Arrogance, conceit, and a close minded attitude.
• C: Celebrity crush?
• Kat Dennings or Rosario Dawson (though they don’t in any way serve as the beginning or end of my preference range).
• D: If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be?
• I would’ve gotten help for my depression sooner, and focused more on figuring myself and my purpose in life out (if any).
• E: Do you smoke?
• Not tobacco, no. I smoked weed for over a year, but I recently quit (though an occasional indulgence wouldn’t hurt, I suppose).
• F: Do you drink?
• Socially, yeah. Very rarely do I drink alone. 
• G: If you had to rank yourself on a scale of 1 to 10, what would you be?
• This is kind of vague. Rank myself according to what? Looks? Intelligence? Social capability? I’d say I’m a 5, maybe a 6 in physical appearance, a 5 in intelligence, and a 4 in social capability. 
• H: Longest relationship and with who?
• My longest relationship was with my first girlfriend, which was from the beginning of my sophmore year, and for almost 5 years after that. It should have ended way earlier than that, but I was lazy, and feared for her as well (she had self harming issues, though I suppose that might be a cop out on my part). Not that her issues were the problem, we just weren’t compatible as people, and should have both realized that much sooner.
• I: 5 turn ons
• Lip biting, glasses, tattoos, long dresses (especially the floor length kind), and red lipstick.
• J: 5 turn offs
• Dead fish attitude (it takes two to tango), non-ass oriented slapping, fixation on one position (boring), and I can’t think of two more.
• K: What’s the biggest lie you have ever told?
• Saying that I didn’t love someone when I was really just depressed.
• L: Would you ever date someone of another race?
• I’ve actually never dated a white girl, so yeah.
• M: What is your sexual orientation?
• Heterosexual.
• N: Top 5 traits you look for in a person that you want to have a relationship with
• Independence, confidence, intelligence, humor, and (at least) occasional motherly tendencies. 
• O: Who are you crushing on right now?
• I’m trying to get my shit together before I inflict myself on another poor woman, to be honest.  
• P: Who is your bestfriend?
• My roommate, Rufus Sugarbeard Jenkins (clearly not his real name, but I call him Rufus).
• Q: Your guilty pleasure?
• I don’t really think you should feel guilty for anything you like, as long as you aren’t hurting anybody. I used to be embarrassed about things I liked in middle and high school, but fuck that. If you have such a big problem with something I’m into, cool, we don’t have to talk.
• R: Who was your first kiss?
• Lindsey, when I was 10. First french kiss too.
• S: Do looks matter to you?
• I think people should be with someone who they’re compatible with on physical, personal (chemistry and such), and ideological levels. So yeah, it’s important, but only as a third of the whole.
• T: What kind of underwear are you wearing?
• Black boxer briefs, Hanes brand. 
• U: How big is your penis or for a girl, how big are your boobs
• About 6 inches or so (average), I’m a grower not a show-er, and it curves to the left about 65-70% of the way down. I’m 5’7, so that seems pretty good for my size (to me, at least).
• V: How far have you gone?
• This one’s also pretty vague. I’m assuming it means sexually, so all the way. If it means distance-wise, I’ve never left the state, though I’m going on a trip to Florida for a week at the end of May. =]
• W: Do you like it when people play with your hair?
• I do, actually. It soothes me. I think that’s true for a lot of people, for some reason.
• X: Are you circumcised?
• Yep. Dunno, why, but I am.
• Y: Do you name your private parts?
• No, not yet. Maybe someday, who knows? =p
• Z: What are your three favorite blogs?
• MaidofMonsters (for the, you guessed it, monsters), zombievangelion (she has good taste in art, and a lot of the stuff I reblog comes from her), and ilovecephalopods (for the, you guessed it, cephalopods).

Most of my beliefs stem from the idea that humans are animals, and should have this taken into consideration when interpreting anything they say or do.

For instance, I think gods are attempts by early humans to reconcile a hostile and uncaring world by assigning it human attributes, removing elements of the unknown and familiarizing it.

Things that say a lot about people:

• the way which they treat the waiter/waitress
• how they feel about the weather
• whether they dog ear pages or highlight in books 
• fingernails 
• and hands in general
• their preferred creative outlet
• how much they dread/enjoy talking on the phone
• whether or not they drink coffee
• if they ever forget to eat
• how honest they are with themselves (and others)
• if they correct your grammar
• how they treat their parents 

-I try to be as nice to people in the service industry as possible. I’ve worked in it pretty much my entire life as a working individual, and I know it can suck. Besides, even if they’re being paid, they’re doing me a service. I also tip $5 or double tax every time, whichever is higher.

-The best kind of weather is a warm (not hot) sunny day with a slight breeze. Gray days are depressing, and the cold sucks.

-I try to leave my books as pristine as possible. It really irritates me if I inadvertently damage them in any way. I wouldn’t dream of highlighting in a book (even a textbook). I tend to over-highlight when I use one anyway.

-I bite, chew, pick at, and generally mess with my nails unless they’re at a reasonably defect-free arc. This includes cuticles.

-I always have to be doing something with my hands if I’m not concentrating (ha) on something else. I crack my knuckles a lot, and am pretty relieved that there isn’t a connection (yet) between doing so and the onset of arthritis later in life.

-I write sometimes. Mostly weird fiction (I’ve been a big Lovecraft fan before), though I hardly ever find the motivation to do…well, much of anything, so I don’t write that often. I feel like I could be a good writer if I did though. Maybe someday.

-I dislike talking on the phone. I’m not good with verbal communication (conversational cues, appropriate volume [I’m a bit too quiet sometimes], etc). I prefer texting, where I can take a moment to think of the right thing to say, and revise my text before it goes out if it isn’t just right. I open up a lot more than I normally would through this medium.

-I love coffee. A local coffee place here in [where I live] makes an awesome macchiatto (I think it’s technically a caffe macchiato, espresso with a little milk). I go through phases where I begin every morning with a trip to Starbucks or said local coffee place.

-When I’m having girl problems, I stress out and lose my appetite. I end up losing weight. Maybe one day I’ll start a weight-loss program where you simply let someone toy with your emotions until you reach your goal weight. It’ll be a bestseller.

-I don’t really talk about my feelings, except with my best friend, Rufus. I’m getting better at it though, especially since I started smoking weed a year or so ago.

-I used to correct the grammar of other people (in my head), until I took a sociolinguistics class. Now I just adhere to the ‘descriptive’ approach (wherein deviations from ‘standard’ language are interpreted as variations, rather than as incorrect usage), unless it’s really bad. Even then, I probably wouldn’t say anything.

-I was raised by my grandmother, and she tends to be a little overbearing. I like to think I treat her well, though I suppose a second opinion on the matter wouldn’t hurt. I could probably stand to visit more often than I do, I dunno.
