9. Do you do push-ups?: Not regularly.
11. Are you vegetarian?: Yes.

25. Least favorite place to be?: My instinct is Hastings, but that feels a bit cruel. So, Gary, Indiana.
26. Where would you like to go?: For study abroad, I've been looking at India. There's also Beijing, but I feel like I might get less out of it. China in general, though. Asia in general. Also Vienna. And Argentina and Peru. Ireland. England. Barbados. But let's start with India.
27. Do you own slippers?: Flip-flops > slippers.
28. What do you think you'll be in 10 yrs?: I have a grandiose idea involving other cities and countries, but I also remember thinking in the 10th grade that I could get into Columbia University. So we'll see.

31. Would you be a pirate?: No.
32. Last time you had an alcoholic drink?: Last Friday, I think.
33. What songs do you sing in the shower?: I never really feel a compulsion to sing in the shower. I think that gene must be similar to the thumb-sucking gene. I also didn't suck my thumb, incidentally.
34. What did you fear was going to get you at night as a child?: Zombies, actually. Which is absolutely to be blamed on a too-early introduction to that Michael Jackson video, also known as the SCARIEST THING EVER. Also, Chuckie.

46. What is your favorite candy?: I have a bit of a weakness for Sour Patch Kids.

54. What was your favorite concert?: The Decemberists was particularly fantastic and inclusive. Flogging Molly was the best as far as being hyperenergetic.
56. What food do you find disgusting?: Venison, but maybe that doesn't count since I "can't" eat it anyway. Sauerkraut.
57. What does your comforter look like?: It's sort of dimpled all over, and with small yellow flowers. My down comforter, anyway. My standard one is an ugly purple.
58. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?: Upekha.
59. The first thing you notice about the opposite/preferred sex?: Eye color, I think. And hair.

68. What's the last article of clothing you borrowed from someone?: I wore Upekha's pretty blue scarf and it's still over there, by my desk.

72. When were you last at school?: Chinese this morning, 10:30-11:20.
73. When did you last burn a candle?: Sometime last week, a bunch of tea candles. Those suckers burn out so quickly.
74. How old is your car?: CTA 4 lyfe.
75. What do you remember about graduating?: It was incredibly hot, I kept zoning out, I wasn't actually all that excited about the ceremony itself, and Kay and I exchanged comments throughout.
76. How much time do you spend on the phone?: Many times a day, but always for very short periods of time. Altogether maybe half an hour a day or less.
77. Can you make change for a dollar right now?: No, but I can do my laundry with my handy dandy school ID.

80. What kind of shampoo do you use?: Something Audrey gave me because I ran out. Silk-ing, or something. It works well.
81. Do you have any pets?: I had two cats. Now I have one cat. She lives at home and works on her fat production. She's doing well.
82. What do you eat for breakfast?: Kashi, with "crunchy fiber twigs, soy protein grahams, and honey puffs." Actually very tasty.
83. Where did you get the shirt you're wearing?: Shirt A at Sufjan Stevens concert, shirt B at Aeropostale last year (but no label emblazoned across the front or ducks or monkeys--just a relatively simple hoodie).
84. Are you shy?: Nope.
85. Do you get headaches?: Yes, I get tension headaches occasionally. Usually all together and then none for a while. Lots of headaching this week, though. It's been a weird week. I always say that, but it's always true.
86. Have you had an eating disorder?: No, unless you count a very strong inability to avoid sugar. Carrot cake makes me weak and powerless.
87. How often do you eat sushi?: I sometimes sample Ty's and/or Upekha's. Was craving California Rolls today, but unfortunately didn't see them until after I settled for the burrito.
88. Do you follow your horoscope?: Follow, no. I read it sometimes. It rarely strikes a chord, although the general Sagettarian (?) description fits me well enough. My Chinese zodiac is totally off-base, though. No way I'm a rabbit.
89. What are you doing for summer break?: Working for an environmental campaign here in Chicago as a field manager/canvasser.
90. What is your hometown like?: Dry, tired, boring, sterile, afraid.
91. Did you ever go to work with your parents?: I went with my dad sometimes... when I was little and I had to go there I'd sit in this room and watch all of these anti-drug videos for teenagers. Unexpectedly entertaining, they were.
92. Seven states you have been to?: Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona, New York, Georgia, Florida, Colorado
93. What is your cell phone like?: Recently hateful. Whether or not you'll hear me depends on its mood. Which leads to the following conversation frequently: "Hello?...Hey, I was justing wonderin-Hellooo?"
95. Do you consider yourself to be creative?: In some respects.
96. Have you ever had detention?: No, actually.
97. What's your favorite radio station?: I like to listen to NPR at night sometimes when I do Chinese homework. It has a strange, pacifying effect on me. Like I remember one night over winter break at home, I started panicking, and then I listened to NPR (late night, so BBC) and made Chinese flash cards and it calmed me down.
98. Who were you named after?: My sister's classmate, I think. My sister named me. She was 8. But the "ie" was upon my grandmother's assistance, a sort of nod to our French heritage. My dad picked my middle name, Claire, because he thought it sounded "regal". My mom was no longer considered a credible resource after she produced the terrifying "Oriana".
99. Have you ever played poker?: No. But I can play War!
