Tag: internet quizzes

UNIQUE

1. Nervous habits? I twirl a clump of my hair, and put it in my mouth. I do this all the time. In fact, there is a clump of hair in my mouth right now. Other nervous habits include tapping/bouncing my foot and drumming my fingers.
2. Are you double jointed? Nope
3. Can you roll your tongue? Yep
4. Can you raise one eyebrow at a time? Only the left one. (My left, not your left)
5. Can you blow spit bubbles? No idea, don’t really want to try.
6. Can you cross your eyes? Yep. I can also roll my eyes around really fast, which used to impress people in elementary school for some reason.
7. Tattoos? Nada
8. Piercings? Regular ol’ earring holes.
9. Do you make your bed daily? I try to, because the bedroom looks so nice with the bed made. When I leave before Sean does, though, it doesn’t get done until late in the day, if at all.

CLOTHES

10. Which shoe goes on first? Right, I think.
11. Speaking of shoes, have you ever thrown one at anyone? No, but I wanted to!
12. On the average, how much money do you carry? Zero dollars! Well, I usually have a handful of change, but I typically don’t have any bills. I pay for everything with plastic.
13. What jewelry do you wear 24/7? None. I wear my wedding and engagement rings when I go somewhere, but I usually leave them off when I’m at home, because they’re bothersome when typing and otherwise using my hands. Not that they get in the way, but that they make my fingers ache and need to be popped. It’s early arthritis, I’m sure ;P
14. Favorite piece(s) of clothing? Lately I am really into shorts, because, like, they’re cool, and it’s, like, hot.

FOOD

15. Do you twirl your spaghetti or cut it? Twirl, and drop it all over myself.
16. Have you ever eaten Spam? I don’t think I’ve ever had the occasion, no.
17. Do you use extra salt on your food? No, I’m not a huge salt fan. I’d take extra sugar any day, though…
18. How many cereals in your cabinet? Three, but two of them are old and probably ought to be chucked. I really only eat the Crunchberries.
19. What’s your favorite beverage? Water
20. What’s your favorite fast food restaurant? McDonald’s
21. Do you cook? Yep

GROOMING

22. How often do you brush your teeth? Twice a day
23. Hair drying method? I like, get out of the shower, and towel off, and scrub the towel over my hair a little. Then I go get dressed. After awhile I go brush my hair out while it’s still damp. That’s it. It dries itself. I’d use a hair dryer if I owned one, maybe.
24. Have you ever colored/highlighted your hair? Yeah, that one time it turned pink.

MANNERS

25. Do you swear? Way too much, although I am pretty good about not doing it in front of the wrong people.
26. Do you ever spit? Not because I want to.

FAVORITE

27. Animal? I…don’t know.
28. Food? Unagidon
29. Month? 7月はユーリ–err, that is, um, wow, I don’t know. I don’t know anything!
30. Day? Saturday
31. Cartoon? I haven’t watched a cartoon in awhile.
32. Shoe brand? Ones that are comfortable
33. Subject in school? Linguistics
34. Color? Right now, light purple.
35. Sport? You know, given the amount of baseball anime and j-drama I’ve been seeking out lately, I’m gonna say that I like baseball. I also enjoy playing tennis.
36. TV shows? I don’t watch TV much, but I know I enjoy Alias and Smallville.
37. Thing to do in the spring? Explore.
38. Thing to do in the summer? Explore.
39. Thing to do in the autumn? Explore.
40. Thing to do in the winter? Explore.

IN AND AROUND (and up and over)

41. In the CD player? Well, technically, MacGyver season two DVD 5 is in there. But if you’re wondering what I’m listening to, it’s the soundtrack to the j-drama H2.
42. Person you talk most on the phone with? I would guess Brooke, because really I don’t talk on the phone much, and the person I call the most to make plans with is Brooke.
43. What are you reading? Well, I’m going to have to get back into White Gold Wielder sooner or later.
44. Do you regularly check yourself out in store windows/mirrors? Yep
45. What color is your bedroom? The same ugly beige as the rest of the apartment.
46. Do you use an alarm clock? Only when I have to go somewhere at a certain time. (Ah, the luxury of unemployment…)
47. Window seat or aisle? Windowwindowwindowwindowwindow! I WANNA SEE!

MISCELLANEOUS

48. What’s your sleeping position? I shift from one side to my back to the other side. I used to only sleep on my right side, but then I started having back pain, so I would lie flat to minimize it.
49. Even in hot weather do you use a blanket? Yep. If it’s overly hot I’ll sleep naked, and if that’s still too hot I’ll just use the sheet. But I really can’t stand sleeping without some sort of “covers”. It doesn’t feel right.
50. Do you snore? I did for awhile there, when my sinuses were still getting used to Augusta seasons. That seems to have passed, fortunately.
51. Do you sleepwalk? Nope
52. Do you talk in your sleep? Not that I know of, but I have heard that I’ve had conversations with people while half asleep.
53. Do you sleep with stuffed animals? Not anymore. I left the majority of them at my parents’ house, and they now live in the crib in the baby room.
54. How about with the light on? Can’t stand there to be light when I’m trying to sleep.
55. Do you fall asleep with the TV or radio on? Can’t stand noise when I’m trying to sleep. I have to shut the door if Sean’s still up, because I can hear him whistling in the next room.
56. Last interesting person you met? Well, the gentleman I spoke to at my job interview today was pretty interesting. He seemed like a nice man.

Apparently, I am required to fill this sucker out. So here I go.

3’s Company

3 Names You go By:
Heather
HeaHea (more recently)
COS (old! but I’ll still answer to it)

3 Screennames you’ve had:
cosleia (now you understand the third name I go by)
Alindrea (a character in my unfinished novel)
Illusion (this means absolutely nothing)

3 Things you like about yourself:
Gee, only three? Damn. ;P
My desire to learn and explore.
My looks.
My intelligence.

3 Things you don’t like about yourself:
I can be too stubborn.
I let my pride get in the way.
I still haven’t learned how to fully let go and just be.

3 Parts of your Heritage:
Welsh
German
Irish

3 Things that scare you:
Heights, when I am still somehow attached to the ground. (In other words, flying in planes doesn’t bother me at all, but I get terrified of rollercoasters and being on top of buildings…)
Creepy-crawly things
The fact that the people I love are all going to die someday (this seems pretty heavy to mention in a cute little quiz, but it is one of my greatest fears :/)

3 of your everyday essentials:
Sean
The Internet
Food ;P

3 Things you are wearing right now:
Glasses
Jeans
Ankle socks

3 of your favorite bands (at the moment):
You know, my answers to this question would probably vary daily…
Battlecry (yes, I’m a fangirl of my brothers’ band)
Toshiro Masuda (composer of the Naruto music)
Darude

3 of your favorite songs (at the moment):
SOUL’D OUT’s “To All Tha Dreamers”
djpretzel’s “Pachelbel’s Ganon” (btw, the OC Remix site is hilarious today!)
Battlecry’s “Outcast Unclean” (it’s a tribute to the Covenant series, and it seems like the more I read, the better I understand the song…and now when I listen to the song, I feel like I’m reading the books…)

3 Things you want to try in the next 12 months:
Start a freelance business on the side to share my writing, design, office and computer skills with people without having to take on a boring job and do boring work between projects. (This may be accomplished by temp work…)
Bike to the grocery store.
Add a new kind of exercise to my schedule, like martial arts or bellydancing.

3 Things you want in a relationship:
Love
Commitment
Understanding

2 Truths and a lie:
I don’t see the point of this question.
I once proudly used “I’ve spent over $1000 on Star Wars stuff” as an answer to a question like this.
My eyes aren’t actually blue. They appear this color to human eyes because their psychic senses get mixed up with their visual sense. In reality, my eyes are purple.

3 physical things about the opposite sex that appeal to you:
Lean body
Well-articulated, non-pointy fingers (I like them to essentially be the same circumference all the way down, not too thick and not too thin, with defined muscles and veins. Yes, I’m weird)
“Handsome” facial features…not too girly, but definitely distinguished.
Fortunately, Sean has all of these characteristics.

3 things you just can’t do:
There are lots of things I’ve never tried, so I don’t know if I can’t do them or not. And there are lots of things I know I could do, if I only applied myself, so I won’t list those either. That narrows things to:
I can’t turn my emotions off. I’ve tried. I can’t. I basically just have to wait them out.
I can’t seem to enjoy 3D videogames that aren’t racing games. Maybe I haven’t tried hard enough, but essentially I get overwhelmed by the amount of options available. Give me a nice side-scroller any day.
I can’t understand chemistry on an intuitive level, like I can understand other things. That annoys me.

3 of your favorite hobbies:
Blogging
Biking
Taking pictures

3 things you want to do badly right now:
Go to sleep
Go on a trip
Eat everything in the kitchen

3 Careers you’re considering:
Small business owner (perhaps growing someday to Huge Multinational Corporation Owner)
Graphic designer (I have no training, but with my skills in page design and photography, I’ve been thinking recently that it might be a good field for me)
Writer

3 Places you want to go on vacation:
Hmm…Japan, maybe?
Australia
Europe, including but not limited to: England, Wales, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy

3 Baby names you like/picked out:
I think about baby names all the freaking time. For the purposes of this quiz, I will list the weirdass names that I don’t actually plan on using in real life. Oh, and they’re all girl names ;P
Evening (nickname: Eve)
Midnight (I have no idea what the nickname would be…imagine saying, “‘Night, Night!”)
Monica Rachel (yes, these names are normal, but I still can’t use them…can you guess why?)

3 Things you want to do before you die:
See as much of the world as is humanly possible.
Live in Japan.
Have a child. (Too bad that’s not really up to me.)

3 People who have to do this Meme:
Erm, I dunno. People can do it if they want, I guess. I’ll just list some people who will never, under any circumstances, do this; therefore, if they somehow find their way back here via Technorati or whatever and actually do it, I will be all, “Wow.”
Tycho
Eric Burns
E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial (Sure, E.T.’s web-savvy. I don’t even have to link to him. He’s built a machine that can find all references to his name! I think he calls that process “E.T. google home.”)

Mari got me thinking about corsets the other day–she said they really helped her posture, and she attributes her loss of back pain at least partially to that. I have been sitting horribly in chairs of late…it seems like sitting up straight is a huge hassle, but I always feel better when I do it.

Anyway, Mari took a corset quiz, so I took it too.

You’re a Victorian-era corset. How refined. What corset are you?

I really wonder how these quizzes work sometimes.

It’s pretty bad when you have to fix html errors in the results of a geek quiz. I mean, come on.

No one but Matt showed interest in the “What tree are you?” post, but I figured I’d share all the possibilities anyway. Below is the exact email as I received it, except that I’ve 1) linked the trees to their descriptions to make it easier on you, 2) listed some people’s birthdays for my own reference, and 3) formatted it a little better.

Note how they repeat, and how some days are set off by themselves. One of these is Sean’s birthday, September 23, which makes him an “Olive Tree”. (I would say that some of that is true, but I’m not sure about all of it.)

Also note that Mari is the Lime Tree. heheheheh.

This seems like a neat reference for character creation.

“Find your birthday and then find your tree. This is really cool and somewhat accurate, also in line with Celtic astrology.”
