You see, it's really February 16th in 2009. I don't know if I even write in this blog anymore. I mean, in 2012. In May. All I know is that, if my life continues on the path it's on now, I should have just finished my senior year at Calvin College, hopefully with a graduation. But that's up in the air. And, honestly, I don't care too much. If I have to go back for another year, so be it.
The following is a time capsule of my life thus far.

WHAT TIME IS IT NOW? 3:56 pm, Eastern Standard Time
WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? I don't use one. The one that I don't use that I keep in my desk is covered in a black and white tessellation
FAVOURITE BOARD GAME? I haven't played it in a long time, but The Hobbit, or Clue.
FAVOURITE MAGAZINE? I don't really read those. My Poli-Sci text book looks like a magazine, but I don't read it either.
BABIES? My puppies Star and Fudge. Oh, I miss dem sooo much.
FAVOURITE SMELL? Ha, Head and Shoulders Citrus Blast. That answer might look weird in three years.
WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD? That pit of your stomach feeling that hurts a lot and either means longing or regret.
FIRST THING YOU THINK OF IN THE MORNING? Snoooooze, baby.
HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE? Usually four or five.
FUTURE CHILD'S NAME? Boy - Liam or Corey or Ewan or Wyatt or Aaron. Girl - I'm still working on it, but perhaps Ainsley.
FAVOURITE COLOUR? More like a color scheme, and that would be anything with blues and greens and blue greens.
WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE? Ideally it is establishing a rhythm and staying true to my goal priorities. However, if I were to speak truthfully, I would say my boyfriend.
FAVOURITE FOOD! It's sad, but Grilled Cheese from Knollcrest Dining hall always makes my day beautiful.
IF YOU COULD PLAY AN INSTRUMENT, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Saxophone. Again. In my high school's Wind Symphony. I miss that so much.
DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE FAST? Only a little. I'm usually perfectly happy with a mere five over.
SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL? If I weren't afraid of throwing it off my bed and suffocating my roommate. That's entirely too possible at this juncture. But it would be my Eeyore or Horsey.
WHAT TYPE WAS YOUR FIRST CAR? It wasn't mine per se, but it was a Toyota Camry.
WHO IS THE PERSON FROM YOUR PAST YOU WISH YOU COULD GO BACK AND TALK TO? My grandfather, my mom's dad. I don't remember him very well, but I want to get to know him more. Either that or Alexander Stracken from the first grade.
FAVOURITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK? Bloody Mary. I obviously don't drink too often.
DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI? Yes. Is that avoidable?
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED WHAT WOULD IT BE? A writer and a mother. Which is incredibly ironic, because I can't imagine myself with children. But not having to go into work would be awesome. Teaching won't be such a bad compromise, I think.
EVER BEEN IN LOVE? I am right now :D
GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL? Full, my friend. Always.
FAVOURITE MOVIE? Moulin Rouge, The Dark Knight, The Mission, Stardust, Lord of the Rings, oh my, there are so many.
DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT KEYS? Dude, my QWERTY wpm is over 120. Eat that.
WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED? Genevieve. She's napping.
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST AMBITION? I don't know about ambition, but I have a dream to teach English in Germany...maybe. If this German Minor thing pans out.
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST WEAKNESS? I have a hard time believing what people say about me, unless of course it's bad. I don't know if that's a self-esteem issue, or a selfish thing...
IF YOU COULD BUILD A HOUSE ANYWHERE WHERE WOULD IT BE? Either Ireland or New Zealand. Would I hope to live in that house all the time once I am out of college? Only if it were in Ireland and Ben could come with me. Otherwise it would just be a summer home or something.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE ARTICLE OF CLOTHING? I just got this awesome shirt that says "How to Break Dance" and it's really comfortable and funny. So maybe that. But I also love my Calvin sweats and this black shirt I got at Old Navy.
BEACH, MOUNTAINS OR CITY? Mountains. Or Beach. Or City. Crap. Okay, right now, if I had to pick, I'd pick Beach, even if it had snow on it. But in general, I love them all.
TECHNOLOGY OR ART? Art. Fo shizz.
COMEDY OR HORROR? Depends on the further subcategories. For instance, I'd never pick Dumb and Dumber over Ghost in the Darkness, but Stranger than Fiction is almost always better than 28 Days Later.
FAVOURITE PHYSICAL FEATURE OF THE OPPOSITE SEX? Probably the shoulders, forearms, and eyes.
FAVOURITE TIME OF DAY? Lunch time on MWF because there's a short little break where I don't have to do homework. There aren't any real obligations for a whole hour. Other than that, probably around 5:00. I just like it.
THE LAST CD YOU BOUGHT? Sonata Arctica's "Unia"
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE TO BE MASSAGED? Upper Back. Oh, I could use one of those right now.
WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT, STRONG IN MIND OR STRONG IN BODY? Mind. If I were trying to be strong in body, I'd be quite the failure.
WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING? 9:00 during the week. Whenever I decide to on the weekends.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE KITCHEN ITEM? Toaster Oven! I never noticed how much better it is than a toaster until I came to college and had to cook my bagel pizza in the microwave....
WHAT MAKES YOU REALLY ANGRY? Unhealthily stubborn people.
WHICH DO YOU PREFER, SPORTS CAR OR SUV? SUV. But I don't particularly like either of them. I'd much rather have a cute compact. Yes, that's right, Cute. I'd name him Corey. Unless she were a Prius. Then it's either Silas, Sirius, Beowulf, Chaucer, or Ginny. I know, I know, only one of those is a girl's name...
DO YOU BELIEVE IN AFTERLIFE? Yes I do.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SEASON? Autumn, I'm pretty sure. But I love Spring too.
IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER, WHAT WOULD IT
BE? The ability to turn invisible whenever I wanted. Or the ability to write real good.
DO YOU HAVE A TATTOO, WHAT IS IT? I do. It's "all in" between to spades with crosses in them on the inside of my ankle.
CAN YOU JUGGLE? Only two things.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE DAY? Friday. It's spectacular. No obligation to do homework, and open house hours until 1:00! Yah-heah!
WHICH DO YOU PREFER SUSHI OR HAMBURGER? Sushi, but that doesn't mean much, considering I don't eat red meat.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE SOAP? My Ruby Guava shower gel, but that's not soap.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE MEAL? Grilled Cheese and tomato soup! Hooray!
IF YOU COULD TAKE A VACATION ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD
WHERE WOULD IT BE? Ireland or Scotland. Or Germany would work too, I guess.
