Red.1. Closest red thing to you? lucky lycee envelopes hanging in my cube from my parents on chinese new year.
2. Last thing to make you angry? something probably work related -- i can't actually remember.
3. Do you have a temper? if provoked! be afraid, be very afraid.

2. The happiest time[s] of your life? right now. :) and when i'm travelling and when i'm reminiscing about travelling. last night in the bath w/ my bath pillow and pinot noir. this morning sleeping in a little during the snoozes. watching 6 ft under with anthony on the couch.
3. Favorite holiday? halloween
4. Are you a coward? sometimes. i'm a parachute coward. and roaches super creep me out.
5. Do you burn or tan? tan for a bit, then burn. i never know where that fine line is, so i tend to stay out of the sun. or cover myself in 5 layers of sunscreen. this renders me greasy, as though i've wallowed in pig tallow, so again, i tend to stay out of the sun.
Green.1. Closest green thing to you? a picture of a turtle shell in an aquarium hanging in my cube
2. Do you care about the enviroment? yes! we all should!
3. Are you jealous of anyone right now? nope. maybe the super rich who don't have to work. that would be lovely, as i am inherently lazy.
4. Are you a lucky person? if you think in black and white terms, as though people are either lucky or unlucky, then yes, i am lucky. because i'm definitely not unlucky. and i think that luck can have a lot to do with your perspective. it's very subjective.
5. Do you always want what you can't have? not always. but i often give in to impulses a lot more.
6. Do you like being outdoors? as long as i'm not being eaten by mosquitos! i love to eat outdoors. that's the best part about europe. beautiful places to eat outside.

Blue.1. Closest blue thing to you? pictures of jellyfish at an aquarium on my desk
2. Are you good at calming people down? most of the time. and it's handy to have wine or asti nearby.

4. What was the last thing that made you cry? last episode of 6 ft under/
5. Are you a logical thinker? oh god, no.
6. Can you sleep easily? always! i can sleep through anything. i love to sleep in restaurants, though i haven't done that in a long time. i used to sleep in my parents restaurant in the back to the mumur of voices and the gentle tapping of utensils and chopsticks on plates. it relaxes me.

Pink.1. Closest pink thing to you? highlighter
2. Do you like sweet things? yes, but not too sweet! a lot of things are too sweet for me. candies and the like.
4. Are you sensitive? this depends on how hungry i am. ;)
5. Do you like music? i do! though i pick what i like from what anthony listens to.
White.1. Closest white thing to you? paperwork that isn't being done on my desk. c'mon, who expects work from the girl who has 2 days left??
2. Would you say you're innocent? i agree with madge here. when i worked at borders and was ... 22 or 23, someone thought i was 14 and too young to have a job! and i highly dislike how people treat you when they think you're young. if i'm with my mom and she introduces me to someone, they barely give me a second thought or glance until they ask me if i'm in high school and i'm like, 'uh, i'm getting my master's.' children and the elderly really are invisible. so final comment: i am not innocent, but many think i am at first.
3. Are you good at keeping the peace? Usually. As long as I'm kept full.
4. How do you imagine your wedding? Lots of good food and keep the wine flowing. i just want people to have a good time - like a party. it's not going to be just about me me me.
5. Do you like to play in the snow? i imagine i would. i like to play and frolic amongst the snow flurries in florida that melt before they hit the ground. does that count?

Black.1. Closest black thing to you? cell phone
2. Ever enjoy hurting people? what??? no.

4. Would you like to go to space? ... maybe. but not for long. i get motion sick in an new york minute.
5. Do you have a lot of secrets? a few, but not a lot. nothing that would get anyone killed.
6. What is your favorite colour? i love all of them. but i've been partial to tertiary colors as of late.
7. Does the colour you wear affect your mood? sometimes. once i wore a red sash and felt very 1984. it felt liberating in a nerdy literature way.
