…and I’m bored and I like nickels. (Irrelevant).

Was your last real relationship a mistake?
If I am building a sand castle and then suddenly realize that I’m building it too close to the oncoming tide, I will kick it down before the tide comes. No point in continuing to build it if it’s going to collapse soon anyway.

Do you believe in God?
Without a doubt!

Who did you last say “i love you” to?
Ummm…Jesus!

Do you regret it?
No! It’s the one person I can say that to with 100% certainty. Ha, joking…

Have you ever been depressed?
Ya, I used to work for the Press Enterprise as the mop lady and then they de-pressed me. They switched me out for the Swiffer Sweeper lady. Jerks.

Have a best friend?
Sure.

Are you a boy or girl?
Some may question. Ha. No, last I heard, I was a girl.

What did you last eat?
Well, I ALMOST ate an Advil because my mom accidentally put a bunch of them in the Tylenol bottle! Good thing I realized that Tylenol aren’t usually liquid blue capsules!
Oh, family pranks are so precious…Kidding! She didn’t mean to drive me to the brink of death. (I’m allergic to Ibuprofen). Haha.

Do you bite your nails?
No, I don’t tend to engage in self-cannibalism. Not my thing.

Do you like someone?
That makes me think of that old jingle for bread or something that goes “Nobody does it like you…” I used to think they were saying, “Nobody doesn’t like you.” If that’s the case, then thank you.

What’s your real name?
Okay, okay. My real name is Box Linnerton and I am recently divorced to a man named Shaka Khan Bertha Xll and we have 4 kids together…… ….hah.

Are you gonna get high later?
Yes. I smoke fermented prune juice and mash it with steroids and you wouldn’t believe the lift off.

Do you hate anyone at the moment?
No. I have no offenses toward anyone. Besides, hatred is such a sad cell to lock yourself into.

Do you miss someone?
I miss Daria. That was a great show. And Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. I wish he was my grandpa.

Twirl or cut your spaghetti?
I put on a pair of mittens and eat with my hands. I love the taste of linty tomato sauce.

Do you tan alot?
No, as Shareen said, I don’t really want skin cancer. Also, “a lot” is two words, my friend. And a more appropriate word choice would have been “often.” Just a simple observation.

Have any pets?
Zell, my pet guitar. You have to feed him songs, play with him, keep him warm and cozy and give him hugs and baths. (Just kidding on the last one). No, sadly, my mom doesn’t approve of domesticated animals. However, she does approve of wild ones. We have scorpions and coyotes, and the occasional snake.

How exactly are you feeling?
I have that weird issue that occurs when you move your eyes to quickly and they ache. I’m a little achy. I really like that word “achy.”

Ever made out in the bathroom?
Haha, I think I was momentarily dyslexic, because I thought the question was: “Ever made it out of the bathroom?” In that case, fortunately yes. Some, I have heard, have not. Venturing to the bathroom is a dangerous quest. Most never make it out alive. We send our thoughts out to the brave heroes who’ve died on the toilet. (Elvis)…

Are you scared of spiders?
No! That’s one thing I am not afraid of! Now, moths, crickets and june bugs are a different story. Throw me in front of a saber tooth tiger before you put me in front of a nasty, disgusting cricket.

Would you go back in time if you were given the chance?
Wow! Yes! I have been thinking a lot about that lately! I think I am going through a quarter life crisis. Yep, ah (*grabs belt buckle and teeters up to my toes*), I am gettin’ old.

Do you regret anything from your past?
At times, yes. However, I’m glad my life is blemished because I appreciate, so much more, what I might have taken for granted, otherwise.

What are your plans for this weekend?
Well, today was the last day of school, so I’m happy. Plans? I plan on walking across the United States for a cause not yet decided upon. I leave today. You know what would be cool? If it turned into a Forrest Gump thing and everyone joined me along the way and by the time I reached the other side, I’d have a full grown beard! Ya!

Have you ever kissed someone whose name starts with an D?
Uhh, wow, no I don’t think I have. I have a quota I must reach: I must kiss 26 people, all who have names that begin with a different letter of the alphabet. So far, I have kissed someone who’s name begins with 3. Wait…that’s not a letter?

Do you have piercings?
Ya, I have a hole in one ear. And my nose pierced. Except for my nose, I’ve done all my piercings myself (both ears and my lip), and none of them stayed open, except the one on my left ear. I made a sport out of re-piercing closed holes, but I got bored of that, eventually.

Want any more?
What? Anymore of what? Questions? Oh! Piercings? Um, no. Maybe I’ll redo the other ear, but my pain tolerance has decreased since I last performed the surgery. Haah.

Ever been to a bonfire party?
Ya, I’ve been to seven hundred million of them! I love the beach at night.

Have you ever been on a horse?
Does a donkey count?

Kissed someone in a pick up truck?
No. Wait, is a pick up truck the thing with the…maybe I have. Regrettably so! Haha.

Have you made a boyfriend/girlfriend cry?
Ya, but not intentionally.

What should you be doing?
Nothing! School’s over and my priority list has fallen ill and we expect sudden death any moment now.

Does somebody love you?
I hope so. Jesus does.

What is your favorite color?
I am literally obsessed with colors, really. But if I have to choose, I’d say…lime green, hot pink, I like the hybrid of orange and pink, right at their meeting place…kind of like a sunset color. Ahhh, colors are terrific!

Do you have trust issues?
“Issues” sounds so clinical! I don’t know if it takes a lot for me to trust people or I trust people too easily and don’t even realize it until it’s too late. Probably the latter. I’m the kid who would’ve taken the candy from the stranger. Haah, sad but true.

Do you have a good relationship with your parents?
Peachy.

Do you believe your most recent ex thinks about you?
I hope I’m not a dead thought collecting dust in the back of his left ventricle.

Who was the last person you cried in front of?
The ice cream man. He ran out of those batman heads with the bubble gum eyes. Anger and grief!!!

Do you give out second chances too easily?
Maybe. But people deserve a chance to redeem themselves. If a pattern persists, then the next chance perishes.

Is it easier to forgive or forget?
Forgive. I inscribe every instance of my entire life into countless journals. How can I possibly forget anything? Hahhaa.

Is this year the best year of your life?
It better not be.

Have you ever walked outside completely naked?
Haha, maybe if I live in the wilderness one day, I’ll give it a try. Have you ever taken a shower with your clothes completely on?? It’s overwhelming. You’re sure to laugh.

Do you play the Wii?
Yes! And I don’t know what Shareen’s talking about. Smash Bros. is the best! I beat Jay, James and Hassan every darn time. So, in that respect, it gets a little boring competing against such unqualified players. Hahahha, joking.

Do you Xbox 360?
Is that now a verb?

Do you play PS3?
Haha, yes. Little Big Planet is the best!

Are you mean?
I don’t think I’ve ever been called “mean” in my life, and if I have been mean to anyone, I am sorry.

Do you believe in true love?
Of course.

Do you wanna get married?
I guess so, eventually. I want to get married under water. And King Triton will be my maid of honor. And Tim Curry is creepy.

What are you excited for?
Um, hopefully Oregon. Oh, but there is something else I’m super excited for!!

Is it cute when a boy/girl calls you baby?
Not if it’s just some random imbecile on the street, waving a stupid “Brehm Model Homes Up The Road” sign, with his holey grey underwear exposing way more than the world is capable of seeing without throwing up a little, and with a bad case of illiteracy and a heavy lisp derived from the angled crack in his right front tooth. No, if he calls me “baby,” I’ll be mad.

Your best friend of the opposite sex likes you, what do you do?
Run a marathon. What do you do?

Have you ever seen someone you knew & purposely avoided them?
Hahaha, ya, Timothy! That weird, fake-accented, schizophrenic pervert guy that went to my high school. I remember I would be walking alone in the aisles at the library on rainy days after school and when I would remove a book from the shelf, there he’d be, staring back into my soul with his cross eyes. Kinda like that heavy breathing guy from “Hey Arnold!” Haha, everyone from my high school is guaranteed to know who I’m talking about. Haha.

Do you have a friend of the opposite sex who you can act your complete self
around?
I am always myself, regardless of who I’m with.

Who is the last guy you talked to?
Ummm, the janitor at school today!

What do you wear more: jeans, sweats, pants, or shorts?
Jenas. <——Ha!, I meant to type “jeans.”

You’re a Sharpie marker, what color are you?
Pink. Because pink is a color that stimulates all the senses.

Do you want to please everyone?..
I’m often told that that’s one of my “issues,” as you call it. Ha.

Have you heard a song that reminds you of someone?
Ya, “It’s a Wonderful World,” sung by Louis Armstrong never fails to remind me of my grandma. It’s like her theme song.

What do you hear right now?
The hum of the fan and the tapping of my typing. So peaceful.

Are you alone?
Why?

What quote is in your head right now?
“Fuzzy Brain.” It’s not really a quote; it’s just the first thought that popped into my head.

Do you have any siblings?
A twin brother and an older sister and an underdeveloped fetus we keep in a jar of green water on top of the refrigerator. His/her name is Ferguson.
