Got tagged for this on another journal site. Here goes.

Do you think you can get through it without answering "I don't know"?
If I want to


Are you involved with anyone?
Define "involved" because I think there's a lot of grey area there

Where do you wish you were right now?
Belgium.

What should you be doing right now?
Nothing really...I was thinking about baking a dessert for tomorrow

Does sex mean love?
not usually.


Are you a bad influence?
Meh. Not really. I'm not going to tell you to do the things I do, but I won't lie and say I haven't done certain things either.


Who has had the most influence on you (good or bad)?
I don't think anyone gets that much credit. I've never tried to shape myself to be anyone other than myself.


Night out or night in?
Depends. With friends night out, with a special friend, night in *winks*



What is your favorite game?
Final Fantasy X!! I'm such a nerd when it comes to that game...


Your favorite book?
Used to be The Outsiders, then Ender's Game, but right now it's Gone Too Far by Suzanne Brockmann. MMmmm, Sam Starrett


Do you know how to change a tire?
I watched my dad explain it, not sure it all sunk in properly, but I imagine a lot of it is common sense. You put the wedge behind the tire so your car can't roll away when you jack it up, take off all the silver hardware things and replace the tire. And if that doesn't work, call Roadside Service

the Ipod. Apple, you clever sons of bitches...

Have you ever thrown shoes on a telephone wire?
Nope. But I kinda want to throw Hannah's up there right now...or, you know, Hannah herself


Need to get something off your chest?
Nah. I'm very much the "internalize everything" girl. A very tiny percentage of what I need to get off my chest goes into this blog, the rest stays inside.


How do you feel about your life right now?
It's life. Was pissy about missing Green Day, but I'm over it now.


How many times have you been pulled over by the police?
twice. Damn speeding tickets


Anyone upset you lately?
not so much upset as irritate.

Last person you talked to on the phone?
my lil sis

Can you easily tell if someone's fake?
Oh yeah. I've got a fine tuned radar for that kind of thing


Do you think your dumb?
I've taken the IQ tests; I know I'm not. I have my blonde moments though


What could be done to make things better for you?
Lots of things. 1st all idiot drivers must be immediately eliminated, 2nd 150% salary increase, 3rd all my ex boyfriends are exported to Australia so that I don't have to worry about running into them all of the time


Do you love someone at the moment?
Sure, why not


How's your heart?
Am I supposed to answer broken or something? It's fine. Still ticking, thanks

What theme does your room have?
uh, retro French pastiche...? I forget the exact wording

Are you a mommy's child or a daddy's child?
that first one


Would you ever join the military?

yourmom.com


Who was the last person you took a picture with?
Alexus

lil bro + lil sis

Is anything alive in your room?
that's kind of a disturbing question. just me.

What are you looking forward to right now?
nothing really. Tuesday I guess

Do you throw up gang signs?
Of course not; you're not supposed to eat those silly, that's why they make you throw up. Hahaha.

Ahem.

It's still no.


Would you rather be a guy or a girl?
5/6ths of the time I say a girl...


Would you rather have a million dollars or true love?
Dammit, I hate these kinds of questions. Money comes and goes so the second one I guess *grumbles*


How many proms have you been to in your life?
One and a half


What are you thinking about right now?
wouldn't you like to know, heh.

Relief...a sensation so good you can taste it.

Mmm. Tastes like tofurky, LOL.

I was so relieved when I finished talking to my doctor, I almost hugged her, lol. I'm going to be all right. It's going to take a few days for this to get out of my system, and then a couple more for me to topple the anemia, and then I'll be 100% back.

Oh, one other good thing's happened to me: Firefly!! Friend picked me up the series for $20 and the movie for $10. Woot^10000000 power. Also got the Heathers. Which was in my top ten favorite movies when I was a kid (explains a lot, ne?).

Claire is seriously in love with life right now.

*end of transmission*

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

THE GOOD: It started out with me wanting to be more environmentally friendly and then it turned to me going organic. A couple of days after that, and I'm a vegan. No meat, no dairy. Just tofu, veggies, tofu, and oh yeah, did I mention tofu? So far, so good. Whole Foods has all the stuff I need and awesome staff (the hippies of today are awesome). I feel like I have more energy than I used to.

THE "BAD": I do get hungry a bit more often though, so I bought some healthy snacks. We'll see how long this lasts though, cause going vegan ain't cheap.



THE UGLY: On a totally unrelated note, I'm going to reference a post I made on May 15 in 2005. I think that condition I had then may be back. I won't lie, I'm scared, but I'm going to try to schedule an appointment tomorrow. I don't want it to be back. I don't. I've got a job that while it may not be as rewarding as I'd like, at least allows me to use my creativity, which I like. I can afford to eat non Ramen foods now! I could, potentially, become debt free!! Tch. Figures.

Well, in typical Claire fashion, I'm not going to really say anything to anyone until I know for sure. And even once I do, in typical Claire fashion I won't be able to handle sympathy (please don't think that's a plea for more sympathy if you're reading this; I really can't). I appreciate it, but it just makes me feel like an incompetent jackass (one of these days, I'll get on a couch and have a shrink make sense of that) so please don't let your feelings be hurt if I ignore it make light of it, or if I'm terse. This just feels so surreal to me; like I'm watching this in a movie or something. I'm scared, but emotionally speaking, I'm not fully invested. Almost sounds like shock, but I don't think it is. Well, either way, it's late (or is it early?) and I have to be up in a few hours. Knock on wood for me.

*~*Claire Out*~*

Wasting Time...

I'm so tired I can't sleep. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else. Anyway, just killing some time so I don't wind up screaming my head off ...

Claire Al Fuego...

Let me set the scene.

Five a.m.

You just finally nodded off to sleep four hours ago. You're abruptly jerked from REM sleep by a shrill noise. For a moment, you think it's your alarm. Half asleep, you jump out of bed, looking to turn it off before it wakes everyone in the building up. It's not your clock alarm. It's the fire alarm. Your mind races and you find yourself wondering if you left the stove/oven on, or if you left a candle burning. No and no.

You decide your fire alarm has just gone wonky. You jump up on a chair and try to shut it off. No dice. By this point, you can hear people above you walking around; your alarm's woken them up. The thought crosses your mind, and then is quickly dismissed. You hear people walking past your door. It's not you. There's a fire somewhere else in the complex. The first thought to enter your mind after figuring that out? Damn. I better change my pajama top.

You change, grab your keys, your phone, your wallet, slide on some flip flops grab a blanket and leave, following the stream of people out of the building, the shrill screeching sound of the building's fire alarms still boring into your skull. Two hours, and three fire trucks later, as you sit on the curb outside of your apartment complex along with the huddled masses, freezing and tired, you realize you have to be at work at eight...which means you need to be dressed and on the road by 7:30. Shit.

The sun's risen. You're in shorts, flip flops, and a tank. There's no way in heck you could get away with wearing that at your job. And you don't have the numbers of any body that could come in and open for you. You're screwed.

7:20 rolls around; you finally get word that it's okay to go back inside. You get changed and you (somehow) make it to work on time, make it through the day...and wind up having your boss make you stay late, resetting tables, purging emails, talking to the district manager and other similar activities. It really sucks to be you...

Humor...kind of.

One of Murphy's lesser known laws:

The second you let yourself stop worrying over the possibility of running into an ex; you will inevitably run into them, usually when you most look like shit. *facepalms* That was the most uncomfortable four-way stoplight I've ever been at.

Work is good. It's a little weird bossing people old enough to be my parents around but I'm making it work. Staying positive and not letting my head swell (as if that's even possible). Staying caffeinated. Had a venti caramel frappucino with a double shot this morning and just a regular venti caramel frappucino about two hours ago. Either everything around me is going in super slow motion or I'm moving a whole lot faster, lol. Well, that's it for this update.

Auntie Em,
Hate you, hate Kansas, taking the dog.
