i get a kick outta answering these surveys...and i desperately need to update (both meggie AND tim have updated their blogs since the last time that i have, which means i'm behind schedule. meggie's actually updated twice.) but i'm in no mood to write about anything that would be acceptable or prudent to publish online. and so i'll make like meggie and just post this in lieu of a more thoughtful post. and these things are funny to read...***
note: i sent out an email w/this survey a week or so ago - some of the answers have changed since then. if you notice which ones, then props to you ;-).
1. Name: cat kim. note - C-A-T. not catherine, not cathy. Cat. capish?

3. Do you wish on stars?: yes...when i remember to. and when i can see them through the smog. oh...i should go out and wish on them right now - i could definitely use it. could also definitely use a walk in the night right now. it suits mi mood. oh...today at the board meeting i was in another of mi all-black moods, as usual - long-sleeve black shirt, long black pants that were v. nice, with white flipflops and jcl anklet (as always). the black looked nice. i dont know if it looked nice on me, though, what with my skin tones and the gray smudges under my eyes.*

52. Say one nice thing about the person who sent this to you: vivian/Ghettomouse is charming. and bright. of course, if she doesn't like you she'll verbally rip you to shreds without mercy, but that's part of the charm...right? and she's a great friend.
*shaddup, tim...i know what you're going to say - "Nothing looks good on you, you fool!" ;-). charming...venustissimus es, care amice.
**chill. that was supposed to be humorous. i don't drink and haven't ever done so, as far as i remember.
***whaddya know...i got some feelings out on this post. i feel like i have to write down everything that happened to day (the important stuff) now so that i don't forget a detail of it - the passion, the strength of emotions, everything that happened. but i have to do foucault remix. and just thinking about touching those emotions again is painful.
What hurts more, crying or not sleeping? I've found that both wreak havoc on my eyes and leave them burning in different but similar ways.
----------NOTE: if anyone wants me to take this down, take parts of it down, or edit out some stuff, please tell me. depending on who you are and what part of it you want censored out, i might do so.----------
