1. Initials:
KEV

2. Name someone with the same birthday as you:
Fanny Brice. Famous early 20th century actress and comedienne. Also Winona Ryder, which is weird, because people used to tell me I looked like her.

3. Last thing you ate:
a sandwich from the PDen. I really like being able to have lunch with Matt as much as we have this term. It's nice to just sit and chat for a little while... it seems like we don't do that as much unless we're having some kind of meal together, and Jack in the Box doesn't count. :-P

4. For or against same sex marriage:
Absolutely for. It's love, people. I fail to understand why so many people are so afraid of giving gay people this right. It shouldn't be such a big deal. They're going to live together regardless and it's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. Gah. I could write an essay on this, so I'll stop. (I did write one, actually. Last fall. I was told I was going to hell. What the fuck is wrong with people??)

6. Last person you hugged:
Matt Bounds

7. Do you believe in God:
Yeah. But it's complicated. We have a very different relationship than you might expect.

8. How many U.S states have you been to:
Ummm... Arizona, Washington, Colorado, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Virginia, Florida, Maryland, Tennessee... *thinks* I wanna say that's about it.

9. How many of the U.S states have you lived in:
three, if we're counting living at school. VA, NC, and SC.

10. Ever lived outside of the US:
Nope. But I'm going to. At some point in my life.

11. Name something you like physically about yourself:
Wow... I like.... ummm... I like my eyes a lot. I used to wish they were a different color, but I don't really anymore. :-)

12. Something non-physical you like about yourself:
I think I'm a good friend. I like knowing that I have strong friendships with the people that I'm close to, even if there aren't a whole lot of people on the list.

13. Do you ever say "your mom"?
Only because of Bounds. And FUtones. I never used to be so rude... (yeah, right)

14. Why are you still up?
Well, because I told myself I wasn't going to take a nap, I was going to do laundry before Relay for Life. Hence I am taking a survey. And the laundry is still in a pile on my floor. Because this is how my life works.

15. Who made you angry today?
Ummmm.... oh, Miss Angie (our custodian) irritated me a little this morning. She made me about two minutes late to my English class (TEST TODAY, NOT A GOOD DAY TO BE LATE) because she was standing outside my room waiting for me to lecture me about something I didn't have any control over. This doth anger me slightly.

16. Favorite type of Food?
Seafood. I crave it.

17. Favorite holiday:
Well, see, this is tricky, because the typical ones (Easter and Christmas) are both in celebration of a man whom I don't worship. I like them a lot because of the family time I get and because it's hard not to love holidays that celebrate love -- but they leave me with mixed feelings because I don't get as much out of them as other people do. So I think I'm gonna have to go with Thanksgiving instead, because I get that awesome family time with no bad vibes from family members and friends who don't approve of my personal faith.

18. Do you download music:
I'm totally not computer savvy enough to download music. Plus I think if I tried to make this poor computer do anything else it would spontaneously combust.

19. What illegal things have you done?
How illegal we talkin', here?

20. Where would you want to go on a first date?
Dinner and a movie is pretty safe. Creative can be nice, too, but it can also be reaaaally tricky, because supposedly on a first date you don't really know what the other person likes yet.

21. Would you date the person who posted this before you?
Well, I mean, it was fun while it lasted, Ryan, but I'm kind of stuck on another guy. And I have to admit... I don't plan on going anywhere. :-P

22. Has anyone ever sang or played for you personally?
Yes. Brown-Eyed Girl has always been a favorite song, but now it never fails to make me smile. :-)

24. Do you like Bush?
I'm sure he's a very nice man. And I'm sure that if I met him, I would still think he's inconsiderate, petty, and the kind of person I would shun simply because I hate talking to people who can't express themselves intelligently.

25. Have you ever bungee jumped?
Aw, HELL no

26. Have you ever white-water rafted?
No, but I think it would be fun... *gulp*

27. Has anyone ten years older than you ever hit on you?
*blushes* Well, yes. Should I feel dirty?

28. Have you met a real redneck?
In fact, I have. You can't really miss them when you go to school in Greenville, SC.

30. How is the weather right now:
Pretty much gorgeous. A beautiful spring day. So of course I'm inside.

31. What song are you listening to right now:
not listening to anything, actually. But a sort of Les Miz medley is playing in my head.

32. What is your current favorite song?
wow. I have no idea.

33. What was the last movie you watched:
The Wedding Singer

34. Do you wear contacts:
Yeah, I do

35. Where was the last place you went besides your house?
To the UC for lunch

36. What are you afraid of?
spiders, bees, the dark, being alone, falling short of expectations.

37. How many piercings and tattoo's do you have?
my ears are pierced. no tattoos though.

38. How many pets do you have?
two dogs at home, but nothing here... I really want a cat or a puppy or something next year but I kind of don't think it'd be a good idea .... :-/

39. Have you ever loved someone:
I've loved lots of people. But if we're talking like romantically, then... oh! right, yes, I do right now, actually. :-D

40. What turns you on?
Matt Bounds. Oh, I mean, a good personality and a nice smile..... ahem....

41. What do you usually order from Starbucks:
A venti mocha frappucino

42. Have you ever fired a gun:
no.

43. Are you missing someone?
I miss my family a lot. And Karen and Audrey and Emily and Suzie.

44. Fave TV show?
Grey's Anatomy, hands down

46. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celeb?
People used to say I looked like Winona Ryder. And I've gotten a couple other random ones. The older daughter in Mrs Doubtfire, for example. And (I wish this were truer) Courtney Cox.

47. Whats your dad's name:
John

48. Who would you like to see right now?
Interestingly enough, the first name to pop into my head was my cousin Libby. :-( It's been forever since I've talked to her.

49. Favorite band of all time?
I don't really have one. Does that make me weird? I guess it kind of does. Oh well.

51. Have you ever been caught doing something you weren't supose to be doing?
Naturally

52. Favorite flower?
Hmmmm. Yellow roses and orchids and pansies come to mind.

53. Butter, plain, or salted popcorn:
buttered and salted. yumyum.

Middlemarch, In the Company of the Courtesan (historical fiction, don't ask)

55. Have you ever ridden in a limo?
Yep, back in high school when the parents paid for that kind of thing ;-P

56. Has anyone you were really close to you passed away?
Not REALLY close, but yeah, people I cared about

nope

58. What's something that really annoys you?
Being lied to. and stupid people.

singing

not really... his early stuff was okay

62. Favorite baseball team?
the Yankees, and I don't care what you say about 'em.

63. Favorite cereal:
Cheerios :-)

64. Do you drive:
Yep!

65. What's the longest time you've gone without sleep?
A couple days, max

66. Last time you went bowling:
gosh, I don't even know

68. Who was your last phone call?
Ummm... to Karen, last night

69. Last person you texted?
Matt Bounds

70. Whats your favorite state to be in?
a happy, non-self-deprecating one. :-/

Disclaimer: this one gets kinda sappy

I don't know what I would do without my friends. Specifically at this point in time, Karen. But in general. I try to help them when I can, but days like today it feels like there's nothing I could ever do to make up for the way they make my life better.

So, I'm freaking myself out about Matt graduating. I recognize this while I'm not actually freaking out, but during the freak-out period I kind of forget that I'm mostly fueling the fire all by myself. If that makes any sense. And I was telling Karen about it today online and she helped SO much. She's so much calmer than I ever am. And I guess part of that is that she's able to distance herself from whatever I'm upset about, which is the same thing I can do for her, but it still seems so amazing that she's able to just calmly tell me what I should do without being presumptuous or pushy: she just says "you should probably do this" or "that might not be the best idea right now" and she's ALWAYS RIGHT. She's going to make a good minister. :-) And maybe today I was just already feeling kind of emotionally vulnerable or whatever, but she was so encouraging and had so many nice things to say about me that I just started crying -- I got really nervous that someone was going to come by the office and need something! :-/ It's just amazing to have someone that supportive in my life. Someone who loves me unconditionally that way. I am SO lucky to have Karen, and all my other friends too.

You people are the reason I believe in Love - the general kind, the kind people mean when they say "God is Love". I don't have much else to go on from this particular lifetime. But you, all you people who love me and tell me so, you show me that there is unbelievable, unaccountable, inexpressible good and joy and love in this world and you guys are why I haven't gone completely nuts.

Sorry for the deep thoughts/emotional quality of this entry... it's just the mood I'm in recently.

And it begins....

Spring term. Those words are both welcome and terrifying. Welcome in that winter term is finally behind me -- that was awful for so many reasons. Just... hard. Stressful. This term should be better in terms of workload, in terms of breaks, in terms of relationships with other people, hopefully in terms of my relationship with myself.... It should just be a lot better. But at the same time, it's as though an inner countdown has begun. I feel like the clock is ticking in terms of my relationship with Matt. And it is, I suppose. But I don't like that it hangs over my head like this. I've been getting excellent advice from everyone (including myself) -- don't think about it, enjoy your time together, make the most of the time you have. Make plans for the future without worrying about it. Know that things will work out without feeling like you have to control the path they take. ....But that's so hard for me. *sigh* Some days are better than others, and I guess that's just how it's going to be. On a cheerfully related note, if all our reunions are like the ones after Christmas break and after Singers tour, then we definitely have some happy times ahead. :-)

Classes this term are looking to be interesting and hopefully fun -- if it shapes up the way I think it will, this should be the best term I've had yet at Furman. English 22 won't be overly challenging, especially as I've already read half of the material we'll be covering -- that's nice. Playwriting will be a challenge, but it will be good for me, I think. We're going to be required to share what we write, which means not only do I have to actually do the work instead of relying on my ability to bullshit, I also have to get over my shyness (yes, you wouldn't think it, but when it comes to my work and my creations, I'm incredibly shy). So I'm pretty excited about that. And Shakespeare is just gonna be awesome. Dr Oakes is amazing. OH, and neither Playwriting nor Shakespeare meet on Fridays. Yep, I'll be done by 11:00 on Fridays. SCORE.

We had to write ten-word plays in Doug's class today. Some of the responses were really cool. At the very end of class I found myself thinking of something Audrey did back in high school which I totally should have played with -- it would have been different from everyone else's. Essentially, we had to write dialogue in which each character spoke only one word at a time. Most people's went something like:

A. Why?
B. Because.
A. But --
B. No.
A. When?
B. Tuesday.
A. Sure?
B. Yes!
A. Fine!
B. Thanks.

Basic argument/resolution type deal. Pretty straightforward, just the barest outline of a plot. Audrey's technique which I kind of wish I'd stolen would have gone more like:

1. Question.
2. Evasion.
1. Clarification.
2. Rebuttal.
1. Statement.
2. Diatribe.
1. Silence.
2. Apology.
1. Forgiveness.
2. Gratitude.

Waaaay more interesting, don't you think? (Audrey, I apologize for not being nearly as good at this as you are. ;-) But then, you were totally the best playwright in that class. So I don't feel too bad complimenting you through mimicry.) Anyway... I think the class should be pretty cool, if a little scary.

I'm feeling really good about Madrigals this term. I'm still hopeful that we'll be adding a couple guys, but I haven't heard anything from said guys yet and so I'm not really counting on it anymore. As wonderful as it would be, it was probably a hopeless recruitment from the start. Ah well. But I think with the retreat and with a couple of the performances we have lined up, we should really pick up some momentum.

FUtones will, I hope, be better this term than it was last term. At least for me. I know other people didn't have issues and were kind of confused by my dissatisfaction with the group last term, and that's okay. I still don't feel like going into it on a public site -- there's no need. I just hope things will be better.

Yay Spring term. I'm totally up for this. :-)
