okay, okay...I'm about 5'6" with medium brown hair and brown eyes. Nothing too exciting there. I have a tiny scar under my left eye and a freckle/mole on my upper lip. I'm rather introverted (in RL, lol) and very, very nice. To a fault actually, though I have been known to lose my temper occasionally.
To switch things up a bit...describe your best friend.

My best friend is the only person in the whole world I've met who's so similar to me it's scary, only he's far worse than me. His name is Tomas, he has blonde hair and blue eyes and is tall...er than me, which isn't hard. He's terribly sarcastic, quite harsh, a very strong person. We're very similar, we nearly always agree, we can share exactly what we're thinking with just a look. We can have private conversations with others in the room. We have lots of in-jokes, and he hates people more than I do. He's not a nice person, but he's not really nasty. It's difficult to explain, I'm the same but not as bad. He's just bitchy, and quite I don't know how to explain it. I can tell him anything in confidence, and I'm missing a hell of a lot right now.
Describe the same...

I have two - My best friend has medium length dark brown hair. In the sun it kind of has a reddish tinge, but she'll deny it. She has hazel/green eyes, and I swear they change with her mood. She's normally very cheerful and outgoing, but when something's wrong (usually when she's angry at someone for making me miserable, I don't have the greatest self esteem... but I guess that's cuz I'm a teenager) she goes all quiet and more mature. She's very into sports, and is amazing at almost any sport. CRYS!! lol.
My other best friend is the greatest listener I've ever known. She gives amazing advice too. She loves to bake, and she kind of reminds me of what I picture a young Molly Weasley to be, lmao. She's got long red, curly hair (which, amazingly is never frizzy... I would love to know how... lol) and the coolest eyes ever... they're like a light blue/green. but very light. So cool. Um.. she loves animals and loves to shop and read.
Describe your taste in music.

I tend to like just about anything with a good beat that I can sing along with, as Mayleene can attest to after riding around with me for a week. The CD holder I keep in my car has lots of different things, all of which I listen to depending on my mood. A sampling of genres... Broadway Musicals, R&B, Rock from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, Blues, Pop, Christian Pop and R&B, African American Gospel, Big Band, Swing, Doo Wop, Country, Alternative, and Rap. lol I'm really all across the board. I try to stay away from things that are super negative, or have music or lyrics that I can't understand. I'm also a wimp when it comes to loud, booming noises, so loud, thumping bass is not something that appeals to me. I really will listen to just about anything, and usually end up singing along to it the 2nd time around.
If you were a cartoon character, who/what would you be and why?

Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Brown hair, brown eyes, crazy family and a slight obsession with books...that's me! Sadly, no men fighting over me atop a castle. *sigh*

Needles.... I hate needles and am scared to death from there. I see one and I instantly start to cry. That is why that is my biggest fear, though that is closly followed by with clowns and cockroaches....

A cup of tea! You cannot beat a cup of English brekfast tea ever, especially for breakfast. It's the best drink in the world. I take my tea very weak, with milk and two sugars, if you were wondering.

It's rather blue with hints of yellow. At times it makes me laugh and makes me cry, sometimes both. It has taken up most of my life in the last few months, but I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. It is, of course, the Charming Roots Boards. Describe your happiest memory.

Post by mmadlyinlove on Aug 12, 2007 14:51:16 GMT -5
One of my happiest memories is the time I lived in Lake Elsinore with my mom, dad, grandma, sisters, and uncle. I was about four or five and it was just before my parents got divorced. I remember walking around the garage to the front and entering it through the front and saw my mom and dad talking. My dad was holding a large broom (you know like janitor style broom?) and he told me to close my eyes. I did and he told me to hold out my hand. I did and I felt him put a movie in my hand. I opened my eyes and saw Beauty and the Beast and I got so excited that I ran inside, had my mom put it on, and surrounded myself with the fifty plus stuffed animals I had at the time and watched it... Hahaha. That is tied with the memory of my dad teaching me to ride my bike (I'm a daddy's girl if you couldn't tell). LOL.

Bill Engvall . . . my mom gave me a CD of one of his concerts and it had me laughing for days. He's so hilarious and red-neck and awesome. I was watching Blue Collar Comedy Tour the other day and absolutely loved his bits. Describe the room you're currently in.

Post by morethanacrush on Aug 12, 2007 19:37:11 GMT -5
I looooovvve Bill Engvall. He's so hilarious.
It's a total cliched twin room. In the middle of the room, there's a straight line, dividing the room into two. On one side, there's a desk with a black chair (I'm sitting on it) and a pink laptop computer on it, kinda like the one on Legally Blonde. And the carpet is half red and half dark blue. The walls are painted red with splatters of pink, and then the dark blue with splatters of yellow. On the blue side there's another desk with another black chair, with a blue laptop that's supposed to be there but never is (it belongs to Crys, so it's usually in her room, even though it's supposed to be in this room... she was never much one for the rules anyway). There's a bookshelf beside the door, half on the blue side, have on my side, and then there's a window directly across the room from the bookshelf. The bookshelf is full of dictionaries, thesaurous, French dictionaries, English to French dictionaries, etc. it's our school/work room!! lol.
Describe your favourite movie.

Ya, well, mom and dad are clueless anyway.
My favourite movie makes me laugh my butt off, and cry at times. Two of my favourite actresses are in it(Brittany Snow and Amanda Bynes), and two of my favourite actors (Christopher Walken and John Travolta)... I also decided that I loved ALL of the people who acted in it. That's right - HAIRSPRAY!! lol. I swear to gosh that I am going to marry John Travolta.

Well he's not exactly good looking, but he's okay. He has a certain charm and always makes me laugh. He usually plays a pretty stubborn SOB...he also directs and produces. He stars in two of my favorite movies..."The Fugitive" and "US Marshals". That would be Tommy Lee Jones.
Describe your favorite band/singer

Post by mmadlyinlove on Aug 12, 2007 22:16:08 GMT -5
Ooh, I have a lot of favorite bands and singers. I suppose I whould have to say that one of my favorite singers is Tim McGraw. I love country music and he is one of my all time faves. I really love his duets with Faith Hill, his wife, cuz they rock my socks...
Describe your favorite movie character.

Post by morethanacrush on Aug 13, 2007 16:34:26 GMT -5
Okay... so here goes the list....
I looooovvvvve Allie from The Notebook. She's really stubborn, but sometimes gets to be like me; always trying to please everybody.... except her parents lmao. I really like Tracy's mom from Hairspray - Edna Turnblad (I dunno if I spelled her last name right...) I love how she's so insecure, but she's really awesome! And I love how her hubby loves her forever... and how he's so oblivious! lol. And I really like Minerva McGonagall from the movies (and teh books!). She reminds me SOOO much of my history teacher that we love to torture. She does this thing, where she gives you her stern look, and then turns away to hide her face while she laughs. We stole her desk once and put it in the stairwell beside her room... and it still took her an hour to find it. Minerva gives off that she's very strict, but really, seh's a big softie.
Describe your favourite beach towel (how random is that?)

Post by butterfly on Aug 13, 2007 20:04:29 GMT -5
Hm... it'd have to be my brown and pink one... it's brown with a pink floral design on one side of the top, and on the bottoms, it's got the same design on it, on the butt. I love it. And it's a string bikini of course! lmfao.
let's stick with the beach theme... what's your favourite beach?

Post by childminerva on Aug 14, 2007 9:00:03 GMT -5
*hangs head in shame* I've only been to two...Virginia beach and St Augustine, Florida. But I went to St. A for my Sr trip and I had such a great time that I would say it was my favorite.
Describe your...family

Post by mmadlyinlove on Aug 18, 2007 14:48:52 GMT -5
Hmm... How does one BEGIN to describe something like that? Well... Hahha... My family is, in a word, crazy... Another word? HUGE! I have a mom, a dad, a step dad, two sisters, one step sister, one step brother, one step niece and three step nephews, two sisters (half sisters actually), two actual nieces, on my mom's side I have a grandma, two aunts, one uncle (who feels the need to wake us all up at six in the morning by phone... when he used to live in Cali, it was with water guns filled with ice cold water), three cousins, and every ex that my mom has had is invited to family gatherings.. I have two uncles through marriage... Then on my dad's side (though I don't see them a lot) I have three uncles, four aunts, 18 cousins, and a grandma... Family is always over... Three of us live here but rarely do we have less than four or five people here at a time... Holidays are a big deal... We eat... drink.. eat some more... they all feel the need to talk so loudly, that one can't even think... My Aunt Bunny laughs so loud you can hear her from down the street... Food is a must have in the house at all times. We are actually building our house bigger so that we can have a family room FOR OUR FAMILY!
But you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way... I love em... And their insanity.
Describe your deepest wish for your future...

Post by Smaug on Aug 22, 2007 15:12:22 GMT -5
My deepest wish for the future is to be happy. I want a job I like that earns me enough to live comfotably, and to be with someone I love. Hopefully in a nice place, in my beautiful England. I don't want a fairy tale, a happily-ever-after or anything like that. I just want the things that will make it all okay when it really isn't.
Describe something that inspires you....

Post by mmadlyinlove on Aug 22, 2007 18:04:53 GMT -5
Well, there is a lot that inspires me. But I think that the thing that inspires me the most is my the idea of love and that it can happen at any time, anywhere, and at the oddest times.
Describe your favorite candy...

Post by OSUSprinks on Aug 22, 2007 23:55:11 GMT -5
My favorite candy has to be peanut brittle. It is hard and, well, brittle, but it still melts in your mouth. It has only been within the last two years I have been entrusted with the family peanut brittle recipe, but I am proud to have not burnt a batch yet! Describe your dream mate.

Post by morethanacrush on Aug 23, 2007 18:07:35 GMT -5
um, my dream guy would be always touching me in some way, like holding hands, arm around my shoulder, hugging me a lot, just holding me you know? Um... he'd have to have his own mind, and like me to have my own too. He'd let me go after my dreams, no matter what, just because I care about it, and he'd understand that. He'd actually listen to me when I say what I don't like and what I do (my mother still buys me licorice and I've told her since I was seven that I don't like it. That's ten years people).
Um... Describe the way you get rid of writer's block.

Film, Theatre, Music, or Opera.
If I'm stuck somewhere in a piece - fanfic, Thesis, whatever - I look to the creative arts with which I have the most skill. I'll practice an aria, play piano, read a script, or just say "The hell with it," and go out to a play or a movie with friends. Generally, something will inspire me along the way.
Describe your car.

Post by jayejaye on Aug 26, 2007 8:35:16 GMT -5
Ahem. I would like to announce that I now have a car :-)
It is an old (1996) dented rusty white Renault Clio. It's so old it doesn't even have a CD player. But no matter, it only cost me £200 and as I don't have a licence yet it is the perfect car for me to learn in.
Describe your perfect lazy sunday afternoon.

Post by Smaug on Aug 26, 2007 10:06:42 GMT -5
My perfect lazy Sunday afternoon is what I should be doing now. With nice warm sunny weather, sitting in the back garden on a deck chair sunbathing with some ice cold (vodka and) coke. And I could either read, or beg my sister's laptop off her. And definitely I'd have to have nothing I should be doing. And I can't get the urge to tidy out my room properly like I have done today. That's just ruining it, but it does need doing.
Describe something annoying you right now...

Post by OSUSprinks on Aug 26, 2007 17:42:54 GMT -5
My little toe.
I was on my way to the tub to take a long soak hoping that it would get rid of the horrible pain in my back, when I stubbed my little toe on this wooden shelving unit in Adam's parents' bathroom. And by stubbed, I mean kicked the damn thing, bent back my nail, blood everywhere, me screaming and crying in pain (because I was already fighting back tears and this was 2 hours in to my pain medication).
So it is just down to annoying me right now, 2 hours later. I didn't get my soak, but between a heat pad and Adam rubbing my back, I can now sit up without wanting to cry. Progress.
Describe what lead to the worst pain you have ever been in.
