One thing I could spend the rest of your life with:

What I am wearing right now:
Black jeans, socks, my orange shirt
Things I collect:

Everything. No, really.

Argh. You know, I should really learn to not listen to sad music at god-awful hours of the morning (i.e. this wonderful 4 AM). It makes me really, well, sad. Not depressed, just sad.
And now, for some reason, I have this horrible, sickening urge to write that Richard/Anthony fic I keep threatening to do. Not because it involves sex. Oh no. Because it involves tormenting Richard and he can't do anything about it because it's Anthony and it's unintentional. It involves dogs and lots of children and no drugs and -- I can FEEL the maniacal laughter welling up...
Using the lyrics from the group: Hoobastank
1. Are you male or female?
"Is she the answer
to the feeling that's trapped inside of me?
can I touch her?
why should I bother?" (Stuck Without a Voice)
2. Describe yourself:
"I wanted to be just like you
So perfect, so untouchable
Now you want me to be with you
Someone who used to have it all
Do you remember now?
You acted liked you never noticed me
Forget it!
Because the dawn has come around
You're not allowed to be a part of me" (Remember Me)
3. How do they feel about you?
"I just thought that I'd let you know
That although I'm far
I'm close to you within
And all the time spent by your side
Is taken deep in me
Held for me to keep
To look upon when I'm feeling like
Everything and one
Is hurting me for something or other" (Let You Know)
4. How do you feel about yourself?
"There's much more for us to see
A brand new day for you and me
And with confidence I say
We're better than ever
And I don't know where this will lead" (Hello Again)
5. Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend?
"We will be again another time
No matter what all the others say
'cause I would leave it all so far behind
Just to be with you today"
Actually, all of that song. Just because I like it, and it's sexual. XD (To Be With You)
6. What would you rather be doing?
"Who you are
And what you do
I'm burning to be in you" (Let You Know)
7. Describe where you live.
"And I can almost breathe the air,
Right beyond my finger tips
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
One more push and I'll be there,
Back where I belong
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces" (Pieces)
8. Describe how you love.
"And I will open up
If you promise to give in
On this perfect night
Let the two of us be one" (To Be With You)
9. Share a few words of wisdom.
"Assure me it's OK to
Use my heart and not my eyes
To navigate the darkness" (Crawling in the Dark)
"I don't want you to give it all up
And leave your own life collecting dust" (Running Away)
"I, like a rock, sink, sinking 'til I hit the bottom
Water is much deeper than I thought
Nothing to swim with, kickin' but I keep sinking
A lesson that no one could have ever taught" (Pieces)
You know what's funny? I just came across an entry in SimonB's LJ that I don't recall ever reading. It was about personal information sharing. I laughed really hard (or would have would it have not woken people up). Questions are fun.
What is the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
Lived. (I'm being lazy, OK?)
What really stresses you out?
Organizing people to do stuff.
What is the greatest gift you've ever been given?
My ego. XD The exchange gift Serena gave me.
If you could change your name, what would it then be?
Evan. XD And I'm dead serious. Or Tathar. I wouldn't mind Tathar XD
What did your parents do right in raising you?
They made me understand that I was intellectually bright and that that was a good thing. That being a girl didn't mean I had to be some weak submissive pussy. XD
Where did your parents make the biggest mistake in raising you?
They never asked - always assumed. Always stated. Mom can be violent sometimes. They inflated my ego to the point that I dislike being shown up in any way, ever, unless I KNOW I know nothing. If I might know the answer, and I'm wrong - it makes me ANGRY.
What is your favorite gadget?
My compy, PS2 running close second.
Do you find it easy to say no?
Yes.
Do you sing in the shower?
Yes.
How competitive are you?
For the dumb things, I will fight tooth and nail and claw and any other sharp object I have at my disposal. For the important things, still competitive, but not as much so.

SNES and my teddy bear.
What is your favorite toy now?
Computer, PS2 and teddy bear.
Are there any insects, rodents, or animals that frighten you?
Most insects.

What, if any, are your phobias?
Insects and needles and sudden loud noises.
Describe your perfect mate:
Intelligent, with a wacky sense of humor, that loves more or less the type of music and books that I do.
What is the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for you?
Jeff and the tulip. XD
What is the perfect breakfast?
No breakfast.
Do you have a bad temper?
Yes, but it's moderated or augmented by certain people/things/events.
What makes you really, really angry?
Various things.
Do you believe in marriage?
I don't care if you want it, but I don't like it.
Is there a particular time of day or night you particularly enjoy? Why?

None.
Are you a member of the same church or religion that you were as a child?
Not really. My mother never really raised me in a religion, but I'm sure as hell not Anglican.

Really dumb things, like failing when I know I'm right, or parents being stupid and illogical.

Foo Fighters - The One
Everyone makes one mistake
One more time for old time's sake
One more time before the feeling fades
One that's born of memories
One more bruise you gave to me
One more test just how much can I take
'Cause you're not the one
But you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one
But you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit
Something never meant to be
Everything you meant to me
Wake me when this punishment is done
Those who try and get away
From the one who gets away
Someone's always someone else's one
'Cause you're not the one
But you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one
But you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit
You're not the one
But you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one
But you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit
Until the end of time
In another life
'Til the day I die
Save it up for one more try
Save it for the last goodbye
We go on, Get off
Get on, Get off
You're not the one
But you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one
But you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit (x3)
