Interview Meme Stuff, Take 1

1. What are the hardest personal lessons you've learned (which you feel comfortable alluding to in public)?

Learning to feel comfortable with my body is one of the hardest. I remember being in high school and being on the marching band drill team, wearing short skirts and little outfits, and being semi-self-conscious about it. And overhearing a boy from another band saying, "They're all really cute. Except that one..." Were they talking about me? Who knows. But I assumed they were, and I carried that with me for a long time. It's only in the last year or so that I've started wearing girly, fitting clothes and carrying myself with better posture and accepting myself as beautiful. My body is mine, and it doesn't matter, in the end, what other people think about it.

Learning that I don't have to give up my identity to be in a relationship was another hard one. I don't have to settle. I don't have to accept limitations just so that I can "be with" someone. If someone treats me bad, I leave. If someone yells at me, I walk away. If someone screams at me on the phone, I hang up. I don't allow myself to be treated badly anymore.


2. What are your favorite things to do with teeth?

Are there really more than two answers to this question? *grin* I like to bite, though I don't get to do it nearly often enough. Hey brenna, come over here so I can practice that for a while. And of course, I like to eat. Oh, and I guess I like to feel them pressed open by ... um... soft, warm tongues. Yes. That.

3. Where do you want to end up living? Why?

End up? As in, the final place? Or as in the "long term" place? I'm not sure, to be honest. I haven't yet found a place I'm so attached to that I want to be there long term. New Orleans is the closest. But I want to live in Austalia or New Zealand, and I want to live in Europe, and I want to give Asia a try, and possibly Colorado and I love Texas, so I want to live in Austin for a while. And maybe Phoenix too. I'm a military kid, through and through. I get tired of living in the place I'm living after about three to four years, and get the urge to move on. I would like, however, to always mainatain a home in New Orleans that I could visit anytime I wanted. Ahhh, if only I had that kind of money.
