O2. Would you ever get plastic surgery?
I won’t say never, but I will say these boobs aren’t getting bigger anyway but the natural way.
O3. Do you keep your hands on your keyboard when you watch porn?
Hmm… I don’t watch porn on the computer on purpose. The occasional click has led me astray but my hand was on the mouse to click it away. But if I were to watch porn on the computer, I would think the idea would be to let your hands roam where you want. If you know what I mean.

Not really, I like to sleep through the night

Gumdrops (that’s right the same ones on the desk!)

Summer 80-85 degrees with humidity, and a nice wafting breeze, the kind that caresses you, the kind of weather that when you go swimming you come out of the water and aren't shivering, just pleasantly cooled. It's sultry weather.

Piano. I think it’s way to hard to learn but so amazingly cool to know.

Associate this!
Random association meme. Ask me to associate you with five things. When I do this, post this meme and an explanation of your interest in those five things in your journal.l
Hadley associated me with these:
1) First snow (also) - Once upon a time it was the first snow of the season and Hadley and I skipped class and went to Harvard Square to enjoy the snow. We wondered around this blissful euphoria caught up in the wonder of the first snow. It’s was that romantic stage of a friendship where every revelation is marvelous. While the rest of New England grumbled that winter was here too soon, we were spinning and laughing and gaping in awe at the most beautiful perfect fluffy snow! Every year since then I think of Hadley during the first snow and know that somewhere she’s thinking of me.
2) Origami - I am an origami junky. The harder the better. I love a challenge. I love that you can make something 3 dimensional out of something 2 dimensional. I only actually remember how to make a few different origami objects, but I love origami books. I once made 1000 paper cranes. It took me 15 days. I spent the next 8 weeks stringing them with beads into an enormous 7 foot tall jelly fish. It was long, tedious work, and I took it everywhere with me and worked on it with every spare moment of time I had.
3) Kick ass women – I was born of a kick ass woman, my sister is a kick ass woman, my female friends are kick ass women. I’m a roaring feminist and very vocal about it. Barbara Boxer; the senator from California is a serious kick ass woman! She’s my political hero, and the senator who’s politics line up closest to my own. She one of the handful who voted against the war. I think women have come along way, but sexism is rampant. I think it was best said of Ginger Rogers “she did everything Fred Astaire did, only backwards and in high heels”. In so many ways woman have to be so much more kick ass than men, just to be heard. I love kick ass women, and my mom raised me to be one!
4) Chinese pastries – I am a Chinese Pastry junkie. My friend Amy Chee once brought Chinese pastries to my office and I was in love. I love the custard buns, coconut buns, pork buns, sponge cakes, rice balls, and those gluttonous fired rice balls that they have at Eldo Cake House once in a blue moon. They are filled with chopped up pork and shrimp and cabbage and mushroom. There’s something slightly I don’t want to say rancid… but definitely pungent about them that sets my mouth watering. In Chinatown you can get a huge box of pastries for $10. I had never thought about Chinese pastries before Amy Chee brought them in. But I’ve loved them since. And I bring them to Hadley’s all the time.
5) Creativity – I don’t think of myself as actually terribly creative. But it’s something I strive for. I make things, I guess I create things. But I’m greedy, I always want to make more. I want to quit my job and sit around making things for a year and see what happens. I’m a jack of all trades, master of none. I can’t commit because I want to be able to do everything. I took tons of extra classes at MassArt, Bookbinding, Jewelry making, Wheelworking, Printmaking… and I would take a thousand more. Just so if I needed to I could make that sculpture with the bound pages, the metal studs, and the thrown base. I am currently infatuated with improv… and that’s a blank stage that you make up everything that’s about to happen. So creativity’s a drug that I can’t get enough of, that each time you take a hit it’s harder to get that high, and work and friendships tend to suffer from it. Can’t be an artist without it. I keep reminding myself that I am an artist.
