Wednesday Poll (snagged from Phyrra)
1. How has your week been so far?
Pretty good for the most part. Monday saw an awesome mail delivery. Monday night/wee hours of the morning, there was a thunderstorm that I was actually awake to enjoy. Yesterday, I got a lot done at work (I like the really productive days), and then last night Greg and I went to see bellydancing at the Pinhook, and it was rad. And then we got to hang out with our friend Jay for a bit, and celebrate his birthday. That was all fun. Unfortunately, I was up way too late last night with a nasty panic attack, that started when I was driving us home from the Pinhook. I think it was probably EMDR shit plus my social phobia being aggravated by the bellydance event, and then having to drive while I’m panicking only made it worse: I feel trapped, and like I have to stop driving *right then*, but because I’m already in panic mode and not thinking rationally, I feel like there’s nowhere for me to stop the car. But Greg reminded me that I could just pull over on the shoulder, so I did that, and calmed down enough to finish getting home. (I love bellydance, and all the bellydance peeps at the Pinhook last night were super nice, but there was a pretty big crowd, and at one point we were right next to the stage and it was just too much for me.) So anyway, I ended up having to take some klonopin, so lack of sleep plus meds equals staying home today. Which isn’t so bad, actually. I’m just taking it easy and taking care of myself.
2. What’s your favorite mindless distraction?
Probably television, except some of my favorite shows require alot of attention (Lost, I’m looking at you), so I don’t know if that’s really “mindless.”
3. What’s on the nails?
Evil Shades’s Rainbow in the Dark.
4. Have you ever seen a UFO?
Only in movies, tv shows, and a Ripley’s museum. But never in “real life.”
5. Do you eat seafood?
Nope: vegetarian. There are some fake seafood products out there, but I haven’t really liked the ones I’ve had. The best was fake fish, which was kind of meh. (Although, to be fair, we used it in a recipe that was WAY too spicy for me, so that might have thrown off my impression.) The worst was some fake shrimp I had at a vegan restaurant in Greensboro – the rest of the dish was fine, but the fake shrimp SQUEAKED against my teeth. Barf.
6. Ever taken a photography class?
Two or three. And we had a darkroom in my house growing up.
7. What was your least favorite subject in school?
PE.
8. What was your favorite subject in school?
Everything but PE, basically. I was a nerd. Probably my favorite favorites were science, math, and then classical guitar (10th grade). In college, comparative lit and women’s studies.
9. Do you wear scarves?
Yes, quite a bit. Hip scarves in bellydance class. Head scarves, usually on bad hair days, but occasionally just to be cute. And neck scarves when I’m feeling sassy.
10. Have you ever used LUSH Lemony Flutter? Was it good?
I am a LUSH virgin. But I’ve been thinking it’s time to change that. I don’t know about Lemony Flutter, but I hear Angels on Bare Skin is wonderful.
