1. What’s your favorite small office supply (like something that can fit in your top desk drawer)?
   Paperclips.  They're perfect for chewing on and being anal retentive about paperwork.  Woo!
   
2. What’s your favorite medium office supply (like something that can fit on your desktop)?
   Umm.. stapler?  Like, a super heavy-duty stapler.
   
3. What’s your favorite large office supply (like a furnishing or a large tool)?
   A very comfy chair.
   
4. To which specific office supply do you have a particular personal attachment?
   My collection of purple pens.  I use purple because I work mostly with men and they won't steal my pens if they can only write in purple.  Great success!
   
5. Which office supply do you consider yourself something of an expert on?
   I don't have one?  Wtf kind of question is this.

In other news, my grandmother died, leading to nothing but fights among my entire family!  Woooo!!

1. What’s something you suspect you regularly overpay for?
   Gas.  And cigarettes.  And food, if I go out.  Pretty much everything.  Call me a cynic.
   
2. What’s something you suspect you regularly underpay for?
   Umm.. internet access?  I suck off the campus wireless as much as humanly possible.
   
3. What’s taking up more of your time than it should?
   Reading for my literature classes this semester.
   
4. What’s causing you stress only because you let it?
   School.  And my relationship.  And a certain crush I have.
   
5. If all your karma were based on your positive and negative attitudes, would it be in good shape, in bad shape, or perfectly in balance?
   ... I'd be seriously fucked.
   

1. What were the circumstances surrounding your last all-nighter?
   Umm.. just a complete and utter lack of sleep.  I just couldn't fall asleep.  And then my neighbors started making noise around 9:30AM.  After I decided to stay home from work and try to sleep.  Awesome!
   
2. What’s your favorite stay-awake-and-alert food or drink?
   I guess Red Bull.  It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.  A similar feeling to when I get angry, only without the yelling involved.
   
3. What are you most likely to be doing when you’re up in the late, late hours of the night?
   Working on web stuff or playing video games.  Occasionally just talking to people.

   Food.  Always food.  I am a very mean, evil person without food.

   I usually was doing soccer or cheerleading or speech and debate or drama or something..  Ridiculous.
   
2. What are the first moments like when you finally get home after a long day?
   I immediately get comfortable.  That means no pants.  Bathroom break.  Etc.
   
3. Where do your thoughts normally turn after the December/January holidays have passed?
   "Thank god."  And then, "Oh crap, more classes."
   
4. When did you last allow someone to cut in front of you in line?
   Um.. someone I knew?  NEVER!  I hate cutters.  Grrr.
   
5. What are you going to do right after you finish answering these questions?
   Probably nothing.  Getting back to work.
   

What will you remember most about this summer?

That I couldn't wait until it was over.  I know it's an odd thing to think of, considering in just a few short months I'll have graduated and gone out into the big scary "adult" world with my brand-spankin'-new degree, but.. As soon as last semester ended, I wanted to just hurry up and finish.
  
Tragically, that has been what most of my life has felt like -- hurry up and finish.  The really sad part is that once I finally "finish" whatever it might be (high school was a good example), the next thing that is waiting for me is just as unglamorous and lame as what I was trying to finish so quickly (ie college).  So what do I look forward to after college?  Working?  I think not.

I'm going to do the hurry up and finish grad school or law school (the LSAT in october will tell me which), and then hurry up through my inevitable grunt work, and then hurry up through the rest of my professional career, and on to retirement.

Hopefully by then I'll be a gazillionare and won't worry about anything or trying to finish something quickly.  Ha.

1. What are your nicest and ugliest articles of clothing?
   I have a really old Landon Donovan #21 shirt from the old old US National Soccer Team.  It's gross.  But I love it still.  I also have two very nice silk halter tops (in black, and white).
   
2. What are your favorite and least-favorite things about the city/town you live in?
   It's so small.  Can't go anywhere without seeing someone you know (and dislike).  It's small enough that I can never get lost, and I'm not afraid of any of the "gangstas" around here.  They're all a bunch of lame kids.
   
3. What were the longest and shortest durations of your romantic relationships?
   2 days.  3 years and a month.
   
4. Who are the oldest and youngest people in your family?
   My mom is 55, and I'm 23 next month.
   
5. Who are your neatest and messiest friends?
   All of my friends are messy.  Every last one.  I think I'm the cleanest.
   

1. What’s overdue for a good cleaning?
   My car(s).  Tragically, I used to be a good car-mother, but I've been slacking since I sold my Accord (more than a year and a half ago).  I need to clean out clothes, crap, rocks, dirt, etc.. wash the outside and armor-all the inside.
   
2. What’s overdue for some kind of professional examination, service, maintenance, or upkeep?
   Oh, I need to go to the dentist, bad.  I have half a tooth in one place (a molar).  Very sexy.
   
3. Who’s overdue for a phone call or letter to you?
   Umm.. Rebecca?  Who knows.  My ao-friends and I have been neglecting each other for a bit.
   
4. What’s overdue for an appearance in your neighborhood?
   A party.  Nobody parties in my apartment complex.  Okay, not true, but my upstairs neighbors playing "Stomp the Yard" at 2AM is not my idea of a party.
   
5. Who’s overdue for a good comeuppance?
   Lots of people.  I don't have a smart answer for this one.
   

My life would not be the same without this...
1. song/movie/book:
    "Like Cockatoos" by The Cure.  I just love that song for some reason.  It's so morbidly sad.  I did a photo collection about it.
2. person:
    John, my fiance.  Of course.
3. place:
    San Jose.  My hometown.  Because, without it, I would not be alive.  Possibly.
4. event:
    One of many in my highschoool years.  One of the more notable would be when text was copied from my personal blog and printed out (with some severe edits) for my high school counselor.  I was asked to leave not too long after that, which was two and a half months before graduation.  I did graduate, but I didn't attend classes that last semester.  Taught me to be careful what you write on the web, since anyone can read it (and edit it as they see fit).
5. self indulgence:
    Chinese Phoenix chicken fried rice.  It is the stuff dreams are made of.  Literally heaven in your mouth.

I did not get a DWI.

However, the asshat kid who hit John on tuesday did.  Along with reckless driving, hit and run, leaving the scene of a crash, etc etc. 

My question is: if you're 18, and it's 6:45pm on a Tuesday night, how can you get plastered enough to blow a .15?
