Because I haven't done one of these in about two years, and Rae's was pretty entertaining.

---------------DESCRIBE---------------
YOUR HERITAGE: I don't know all of it, but on one side, north/western Euro mutt (French, English, Norwegian)
THE SHOES YOU WORE TODAY: slippers!
YOUR EYES: blue
YOUR WEAKNESS: junk food and books
YOUR FEARS: spiders
ONE THING YOU'D LIKE TO ACHIEVE: world peace! haha, just kidding. Um, being an effective teacher, I suppose.

YOUR THOUGHTS FIRST WAKING UP: god, do I have to?
THE FIRST FEATURE YOU NOTICE IN THE OPPOSITE SEX: Shoulders and/or ass.
YOUR BEST PHYSICAL FEATURE: my legs and/or bum.
YOUR BEDTIME: not nearly early enough (between 10 and 11pm on school nights).
YOUR GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: getting through college, AmeriCorps, and hopefully, my first year teaching.
YOUR MOST MISSED MEMORY: I really have no idea what this means. At all.
---------------YOU PREFER---------------
PEPSI OR COKE: neither. I avoid caffeine, and if I drink soda, I like orange or root beer.
MCDONALD'S OR BURGER KING: definitely McD's. although I've been really good about not eating any fast food lately.
SINGLE OR GROUP DATES: can't really say, because I don't think I've ever done either.
ADIDAS OR NIKE: no idea. they're both expensive, fancy-pants shoes and I can't afford either.
CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA: definitely chocolate. Yum.
CAPPUCINO OR COFFEE: neither. See above re caffeine. Also, I hate anything coffee-related.
---------------DO YOU---------------
SMOKE: ew, no.
CUSS: yep, probably too much. I'm afraid that one day a bad word will pop out while I'm teaching. Heh.
TAKE A SHOWER EVERYDAY: Normally, yes. Weekends or vacations, all bets are off.
HAVE A CRUSH(ES): hm, sort of.
WHO ARE THEY: people in my program. yes, more than one.
DO YOU THINK YOU'VE BEEN IN LOVE?: looking back, probably not.
WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE: already did, and now I'm in grad school. Way more fun the first time.
LIKE HIGH SCHOOL: if by "like" you mean "loathe", then yes, absolutely!

TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT KEYS: yep. Thank you, PAWS!
GET MOTION SICKNESS: not that I know of.
THINK YOU'RE ATTRACTIVE: very rarely.
THINK YOU'RE A HEALTH FREAK: ha, ha, ha, you make me laugh.
GET ALONG WITH YOUR PARENTS: yes. Like many young people, that really started after I moved out to go to college.

FLOWN ON A PLANE: hundreds of times.
MISSED SCHOOL BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING?: no. What an odd question.
TOLD A GUY/GIRL THAT YOU LIKED THEM?: only once, cause it was really bugging me. I didn't want anything out of it, I just wanted to get it off my chest. All the other times, I flirt or obsess about it. Much healthier that way. ;)

NUMBER OF BOYFRIENDS/GIRLFRIENDS YOU'VE HAD: 2.
NUMBER OF KISSES YOU'VE GIVEN: seriously stupid question.
NUMBER OF DRUGS TAKEN ILLEGALLY: zero.

NUMBER OF SCARS ON MY BODY: god, who knows. I have one on my wrist from surgery, a few others from scratches and such.

SHAMPOO: sebastian laminates. It's expensive though, so I never buy it. I like the Dove stuff a lot.
FAVE COLOR: pink, red or purple

GHOSTS: not sure.
UFO'S: no, but that weird thing we all saw freshman year sure was bizarre.
GOD: not as any religion defines it/Him.
---------------FRIENDS AND LIFE---------------
DO YOU EVER WISH YOU HAD ANOTHER NAME?: I guess. I think "Julie" is kind of a silly name, at least in English pronunciation.

BELIEVE IT'S POSSIBLE TO REMAIN FAITHFUL FOREVER?: I'm totally the wrong person to ask. Haven't cheated or anything like that, I just have trouble believing in long-term relationships.
CONSIDER YOURSELF TOLERANT OF OTHERS?: yes, unless they are stupid, xenophobes, liars, or full of attitude. Does that still count as tolerance?
CONSIDER LOVE A MISTAKE?: huh? A distraction, sometimes, but why would it be a mistake? Again, wrong person to ask, though.

HAVE A FAVORITE CANDY?: hm, good question. Kit-Kats, maybe.
DO WELL IN SCHOOL?: yes. Though I do procrastinate, I always get it done.
WEAR HATS?: in winter, when I'm outside, all the time. As a fashion accessory that's part of an outfit, never.

WISH ON STARS?: don't think so, though more because I just don't think of it.
LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?: ha, it's like I have multiple personalities when I'm holding a writing utensil.

EVER BEEN IN A THING CALLED LOVE?: again, I don't think so.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT?: not really.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN "THE ONE?: I guess not.

DRUGGY: not at all.
DAYDREAMER: yes, when I'm: in a long, boring class; wistfully remembering my travels; thinking about cute boys from the past. Sigh, like the cute Aussie from the Paris hostel...
