Meme borrowed from sam42 because I'm bored as fuck.

• A
Are you available? Depends. What are we doing?
What is your age? 20
Astrology sign? Leo

• B
Do you know anyone named Brian? Yes, actually. He's in my language class--a fellow gaijin.
When is your birthday? August 5th, 1987
Ever been stung by a bee? I don't think so. I have been stung by a wasp, which, I've been told, is a hell of a lot more painful. I don't know about that, but I can tell you that it didn't help assuage my irrational fear of them.

• C
What's your favorite candy? Anything with chocolate.
What color is your car? Red.

• D
Do you daydream? All the time.
What's your favorite kind of dog? The kind that doesn't make me want to punt it across the room for yapping all the time.

• E
Have you ever been in the emergency room? For myself? No, don't think so. Can't think that I've ever been in one period, actually.
Ever pet an elephant? This one threw me, for some reason. I guess the idea of petting an elephant like it's some sort of massive gray house cat was just too bizarre. Anyway, no, I don't think so. Rode one once, at the circus.
Ever swum with sharks? No, but I spent about ten minutes pondering whether or not "swum" was used here in the right context. Looked it up in the dictionary and found out it's the past participle of "swim," which was even less than unhelpful because I can't remember what a past participle is, exactly, and looking it up on google only proved my theory that no one, in fact, knows what a past participle is, in regards to irregular verbs.

• F
Do you use fly swatters? ....When there are flies, yes.
Is there a fan in your room? Yes. And it's always on. I like the sound it makes.
Does the number four have any significance? In English? Not really. But in Japanese (and other Asian languages, too) the word for death and the word for the number four is the same--hence Tetraphobia. Interesting stuff.

• G
Do you chew gum? If it's available, definitely
Do you like gory movies? Sweeney Todd? Yes. Dawn of the Dead? No.

• H
How are you? Tired. And stressed out. What else is new? It's that time of the year.

• I
Have you ever ice skated? Yes.
Ever been to Iowa? Hmmm....no, actually.

• J
Favorite jelly bean? I think I might like all of 'em except for root beer or licorice flavored ones.
Do you wear jewelry? Nope. I'm entirely too good at leaving rings on bathroom sinks, so I don't bother.

• K
Who do you want to kiss? Johnny Depp.
Have you ever flown a kite? Yeah. Last summer, with my sister. It was a blast--we named ours. Mine was Tim, and he was some sort of bird. Phoenix, maybe? Brianna's was a dolphin. It was doomed to failure, poor thing.
Do you think kangaroos are cute? Absolutely.

• L
Are you laid back? On occasion.
Lions or tigers? Bears. (Come on, someone had to do it.)
Do you like black licorice? Does anyone?

• M
Favorite place at the mall? The food court.
Favorite movie? Far too many to choose from.

• N
Do you prefer night or day? If I'm feeling good, it doesn't matter.
Do you have a nickname? Kace. Kinda hard to shorten "Kacey" into something cute. Although my little Japanese host (uh, what, cousins?) call me KeKe.

• O
Are you an only child? Nope, got an older sister.

• P
Do you know anyone named Penelope? Not yet.

• Q
(It was missing a Q, so I made one up)
Wanted to quit halfway through this meme? ;-)

• R
Do you think you're always right? The only people who think that are always wrong.
Do you watch reality tv? I can't think of a faster way to rot your brain.

• S
Do you prefer sun or rain? Sun. I hate being wet. Mostly because I always wear jeans, and wet jeans are unbearably uncomfortable. Also, when it rains, the river next to my apartment smells even stronger of dead fish. However, being indoors on a rainy day is quite nice--just chillin', drinking some tea, maybe watch a movie. Good shit.
Do you like snow? Only when I don't have to forge a path through it to get to class. Or drive through it. *shudder*

• T
Time to go to sleep? Whenever I can convince myself that I've fucked around long enough and really ought to turn in for the night. This is anywhere between 11-2am, currently.

• U
Can you ride a unicycle? No. I can barely ride a bicycle.

• V
Did you ever watch Veggie Tales? NO. Bane of my existence. Remember when I said I couldn't think of anything that would rot your brain faster than reality TV? Well, I just thought of something.

• W
What do you want right now? To go home to America, hug my mom and dad and sister, and eat delicious fajitas at our favorite Mexican restaurant until I explode.

• X
Have you ever had an x-ray? Of my head. For dentistry. Does that count?

• Y
Do you like the color yellow? Got nothing against it.
Do you yell when you're angry? Yes.

• Z
Do you believe in Zodiac signs? Not really, but it's fun when the shit in Cosmo magazines actually comes true in some round-about way.


•Lasts:

Last dream: I've had some really fucked up ones since coming to Japan, but I can't remember any of them. The last dream I had that I can remember was of being back home, sleeping in my bed, and when I woke up I thought I heard my dad singing in the hallway. It was really bittersweet.

Phone call: To my mom, I think.

Last time you cried: Last weekend. I cry a lot, though, so that's not saying much.

Last time you hugged: God, it's sad when you can't remember the last time you hugged a human being. I mean really hugged, not just a casual embrace. Well, welcome to Japan I guess, lol. Anyway, the last time I really, really hugged someone was probably my mother before I got on the plane. After that, probably Val.

Last person you rode in a car with: My host parents and my host father's family on the way back from a road trip.
