Clearly my first tattoo should be of a Lemming:
from
about me…
x. name = Stephen Christopher Ulrich junior
x. birthday = 4/15/76
x. piercings = Uh, yeah, no.
x. tattoos = Used to be emphatically anti, now just reluctant to commit
x. height = 69″, 1.76m
x. weight = 150#, 68kg
x. shoe size = 9-10
x. hair color = brown
x. length = short
x. siblings = middle of 3, 2 sisters
x. pets = none. Get cranky at co-resident animals
media…
x. movie you rented = last? Fragged if I know. Probably something I’ve seen 20 times. Or porn.
x. movie you bought = Fried Green Tomatoes & Fight Club
x. song you listened to = Sonique Says “‘Fear’, by Sarah McLachlan”
x. song that was stuck in your head = Vertical Horizon, Everything You Want
x. song you’ve downloaded = all 1.5 gigs, baby. My computer can barely play, no way it could rip.
x. cd you bought = Hmmm, “Open Your Eyes” by Goldfinger. Yay straight-edge punk. (thanks,
x. cd you listened to = Fragged if I know. I probably put fumbling towards ecstasy in my cd drive to figure out what it was. =)
x. tv show you’ve watched = B5 takes top place. 6fu a close second. Not generally a fan of tv.
who was the last…
x. person you’ve called = potential landlady, prior to that, potential roomie, and former lab partner,
x. person that’s called you = potential landlady, recreationally,
x. person you’ve gone to visit =
x. person you were in love with = probably
x. person you were thinking of =
do…
x. you have a bf or gf = Not really, not yet, not recently. Not bitter, really.
x. you have a crush on someone = has pulse implies has crush for me (or is mopy), but yeah, I’m a little smitten =)
x. you wish you could live somewhere else = Yes and know. Having taken a gigantic leap to the bay area, I think it’s where I want to be now. Probably not indefinitely, and maybe not on Simon’s couch, but these are details =)
x. you think about suicide = I think it’s a person’s right to choose, but it’s not so much a course of action that crosses my mind much.
x. you believe in online dating = There is no such thing as online dating. Miss Manners provides a good definition of a date, which condenses to food, fun & fellowship. You have to be there in person to share these things or its not a date. Now, meeting people online, I’m all cool with. It’s how I’ve met everyone of my boyfriends to date. Every one of them.
x. others find you attractive = Guess so. Not necessarily everyone I’d like to, but a large enough subset to keep me fairly content.
x. you want more piercings = Probably not. Wanton puncturing of the protective layer of one’s skin never struck me as especially wise. Besides, they often get in the way of nibbling on interesting parts. Or, damage one’s teeth or something.
x. you want more tattoos = If I find the right one? Sure =)
x. you drink = water, herbal tea, juice, and assorted non-dairy milks
x. you do drugs = when prescribed, and not always then =)
x. you smoke = Uh, hell no.
x. you like cleaning = about as much as I like dental work. An unfortunate necessity that I put off to the extent possible =)
x. you like roller coasters = I suppose, but they are never worth waiting in lines.
x. you write in cursive or print = Elements of both.
x. you carry a donor card = yup. Nothing sacred about my innards when I’m toast.
for or against
x. long distance relationships = A relationship has to have a firm short-distance grounding to survive long distance. And then the long distance portion has to be temporary. Otherwise you’re trying to build a house on a foundation of sand.
x. using someone = We all use one another to a certain degree, but I like to make sure my use is gentle and my gratitude is clear.
x. suicide = Everyone has a damn near inalienable right to choose to end their own life when they see fit. It is not my job to babysit someone. That having been said, I think it’s a tragic waist.
x. killing people = It’s a waste. Brainwash and/or lobotomize them for cheap labor. As a last ditch self-defense, I reluctantly concede that it is okay.
x. teenage smoking = Smoking in general is the only drug use I think should be illegal, because it foists your choices off onto others. People ought to treat it as approximately equivalent to public excretion. Except that at least has the potential to fertilize plants.
x. doing drugs = generally not my bag, but
x. premarital sex = been there, did it, certainly not condemning it.
x. driving drunk = I’m actually against driving. We ought to have public transportation and bikes to go wherever. Or at least computer directed, small car, elevated rail travel.
x. gay/lesbian relationships = Oh. No. Whatever. Shall. We. Do. The. Moral. Decay. Of. America.
x. soap operas = boring, yet addictive, no thanks
favorite…
x. food = Mood dependent, fresh steamed brocolli, spinach/mushroom/artichoke/tomato combos, etc
x. song = Too many to name, maybe I’ll list my mp3 collection at some point.
x. thing to do = epiphanies, nothing like them, shorter than orgasms, better than sex, and oh my the afterglow. =)
x. thing to talk about = the big picture.
x. color = opalescent
x. sports = to do? That’s a rough one, climb, bike, kayak, swim, skate, blah. To watch? None.
x. drinks = Uh… Alcoholic? LIIT’s aren’t totally vile. Non? Water.
x. clothes = thrift stores in guppy areas
x. movies = Fellowship of the Ring, Fried Green Tomatoes, Fight Club, American Beauty, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Ten things I hate about you, X-men, Matrix, others
x. author = Dave Duncan, Neil Gaiman, Warren Ellis, Andrew Tobias, Dan Savage, Tom Tomorrow, Shakespeare, Octavia Butler, from my youth, mercedes lackey, Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman, and even further back, CS Lewis, Lloyd Alexander, and Madeleine L’Engle.
x. band = Indigo Girls, Vertical Horizon, Blink 182, VNV Nation, Third Eye Blind, They Might be Giants, Tori Amos, Sister Hazel, Simon & Garfunkel, Sarah McLachlan, Nine Days (small sample size, but I like it all) Green Day, Cyndi Lauper, Enya, (Bonus, favorite musicals: Rent, Miss Saigon, Les Miz, Chess, Moulin Rouge)
x. holiday = Probably the 1,000,000,000th second (unix time). We were the only people in the bar celebrating it. We had a loud count down. It was very silly.
x. cars = Not a bad idea, as such things go, but it’s absurd that we still cling to a fundamental design developed over a century ago. We could be doing soooo much better. Safer, cleaner, faster. Pity about those entrenched interests.
have you…
x. ever cried over a girl = Only if failing to protect my little sister counts.
x. ever cried over a boy = only once.
x. ever cried over spilt milk = no, but a bad pizza, yes.
x. ever lied to someone = Yeah. Not in the habit though.
x. ever been in a fist fight = Not really outside martial arts practice. I get further through intimidation. =)
Anything you want to know, just ask. I’ll almost certainly answer. Try to think of stuff more interesting than prurient. =)
