Snarkety snark snark...

I liked my answers to this survey, so I'm putting it here for safekeeping. ;-)

1. How late did you stay up last night?
I dunno. I don't remember.

2. What was the first thing you thought this morning?
"if Jason tells me to wake up one more time I'm going to freakin' cream him with my pillow."

3. Is there a person you have a crush on?
Crush? No. Just my pillow-dented hubby. :-)

4. What did you do last night?
recuperated from my shopping outing. Did you know shopping is painful on a sprained ankle? It is.

5. What are doing this weekend?
I'll assume by "this weekend" you mean "this coming weekend not the current one that's about 3/4 over" and I'll respond thusly: Friday night, Roving Imp performance at the Westport Coffeehouse. Saturday, filming sketches with the Hype 7. Saturday night, Roving Imp performances (2) at the Roving Imp theater. Sunday, the usual lounging around the house watching Discovery Channel.

6. Do you think you will be in a relationship 3 months from now?
I had better freakin' be.......

7. Do you own a stereo that cost more than $100?
Does anyone really own a stereo anymore, or has that become as obsolete as the CD? (I'm a tech snob! Watch me tell you what a Noob you are and how 1337 I am while dismembering a fat free venti double zebra mocha, no whip! Oh, and while you were reading this, I totally defragmented your computer! Hah!!!)

8. Has someone of the opposite sex ever told you they loved you, and meant it?
Yurp.

9. How's your heart lately?
I haven't pulled it out to examine it, but it seems to be keeping in pretty good rhythm and such, so...yeah. Did you know that there's no vowel besides "sometimes y" in rhythm? Awesome!

10. What were you doing this morning at 7am?
Sleeping.

11. What were you doing this afternoon at 12pm?
Um.........driving home from church.

14. What was the reason you last cried?
Severe ankle pain.

as in a person? Oh gosh........um..........Tolkein?

16. Who's your most attractive friend?
That hot chick in the mirror. Mmm, yeah.

17. Why did you stop liking your last crush?
I haven't the foggiest. It's been almost 10 years, you know.

18. Do you know someone with the initials J.B.?
Those used to be my initials! Hah! My younger sister, a cousin, and Jason if you use his middle name and take off our last name.

19. Have you ever talked to someone when they were high?
Ugh. Yes. Not by choice.

20. How many red lights have you ran?
A few. They're always accompanied by the thought, "Yeah...I'm going to stop...*snicker*"

21. Have you ever cried while taking a shower?
No, but I've had a severe nose bleed and freaked out because it mingled with the water and I didn't know where it was coming from. That was seriously scary. And gross. Hah! Now you know! (man I'm feeling mischevious right now!)

22. What was your favorite grade?
Junior year of high school.

23. What were you doing at 12am last night?
I dunno, watching TV maybe?

Durrrrrrr

26. When was the last time you were given a rose?
Um..............I don't remember exactly, but I remember the rose(s). Pretty.

27. Is there anything that you are craving for right now?

28. Where did your last hug take place?
I sneak attacked Brianna, then gave her a wedgie.

29. Do people ever make stupid mistakes when spelling or saying your name?
They always always always spell my last name with two "b's" even if I correct a gazillion times. Although, one time my friend "Amie Trotter" was accidentally announced as "Arnie Totter"....it was awesome. We still laugh about it.

30. Have you ever started a sentence with "No offense, but..."?
No. People will take offense with what I say anyhow, so why bother?

31. What did you do today?
stagnate

32. When was the last time you saw a cop?
Oh gosh. "ma'am, the reason I pulled you over is because you were swerving a little. Are you intoxicated or tired in any way?" "Um......no?" "Oh, I see, so you were just distracted by something maybe?" "Uh.......I kept looking in my rearview mirror, yeah....." (totally wasn't swerving, Niffer can serve as a witness if need be.)

33. Did you ride in someone else's car today?
Jason's, yeah.

34. Have you made a mistake in the past week?
Have you seen my ankle?????

The dude on Man Vs. Wild

a carmel.

41. Is there a feeling you're trying to avoid?

42. What will you do saturday?
I already answered that. Saturday is part of a weekend. Here's a question for you, are surveys randomly generated without forethought?

43.have you ever held your breath for 45 minutes?
Yes, and then I totally died. It was awesome.

I heart my nummies.

I swear if it was healthy I could totally live on a diet of chicken noodle soup, potatoes, and Dr. Pepper. Mmmmm....

(oh yeah, and the occasional sushi and/or mediterranian food excursion)

How much havock a crippled girl can wreak

From the show Wednesday. Yay for seated games!

A mighty wind is blowin'

The past week being forced to sit and take it easy has given me a lot of time to think. I mean a LOT of time. Priorities shifting, fuzzy details clarified, and I know what I'm doing with my hair next summer. As I can feel these random cogs in my life snapping into place, I can also feel something unexpected on the horizon. I can feel change creeping up on me, destiny calling. I wonder if I'll be the cause or if it's just going to happen? At the time it's only a faint ghost whisper...but it's coming. All I can do is be ready for it, and whatever happens, embrace it. Change is what life is all about after all, and I can tell this is gonna be big. On your mark, get set...

Ooh, baby do you know what that's worth? Hype 7 is a group on earth.

Good news, better news, best news! My ankle is not fractured, the swelling is going down, and the pain is very much less than it was. Yay! Also, tonight was my first Hype 7 performance! We did fantastic! I think I had a really strong beginning but then petered out a little, possibly due to my ankle self-conciousness, but we all did a great job I think. I am so proud of Tiffany, it was her first improv show....ever. She did so well. :-D There were a couple former H7'ers in the audience and they thought we newcomers (me and Tiffany) did the troupe proud. That makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. We all went out afterward and ate and drank and laughed, it was so cool. Dan (one of the former members) came with his wife to the restaurant and regaled us with stories of the olden days, which was really cool. I joined Roving Imp at the ground level, so it doesn't have a history yet, not like this, so it was neat to hear of the troupe's beginnings and what it was like even a couple years ago. So much fun. Okay, must sleep now. Arrgh, I'm so wound up and yet I'm really tired! Mgah!!!

Not for the weak of stomach

Here's a picture of my swollen and sprained ankle. (Yes, it's sprained) Avert your eyes if you be faint of heart. (Oh, and fyi, it doesn't usually look like this....and the lines are from the bandage I've been wearing)

Tape it up, we got a game to play!

Tonight was the Roving Imp Smackdown show, in which we all competed for the "Golden Bindle Award." It was a swell night, all kinds of great work, funny games, great fun....and then as I pulled into the lead, I stepped off the stage exactly wrong and hurt the crap out of my ankle. Pain shot up my leg and then I felt pins and needles. The whole theater went, "Ooh!" And then it was a bit quiet. John tried to make a couple jokes but they didn't land, so he decided to just go ahead and call intermission at that point. I don't recall if I hobbled to the back room or if I had help, but somehow I ended up in a chair backstage with my foot up on the piano. We got ice and Tiffany had some pain killers, and after a bit I felt better, so we taped my foot up with masking tape and called it good. I was able to perform the second half (and win the award alongside Cristil, yay!) and then I sent Jason out to get me an ankle brace. I performed the second show as well, but toward the end it was really starting to get to me. I took it pretty easy, though, so that's good. I need to get to the doctor this week, though. I'm seriously hurting now and I'm afraid to take this brace off because I'm scared of what I'll find. I hate my ankles...I've had stupid problems with them all my life. I wish I could walk without them collapsing for no apparent reason, this sucks. Oh well. At least I know what to do when injured.
