I mean, I kind of had to, didn't I?

Do you think you'll ever be in love?

I've thought I was in love several times (sing it to me Taylor Swift, "When you're 15 and someone tells you they love you, you're gonna believe it..."), but mostly I've just been "in like" or "in fascination"... I've never not loved Evan though. He was my best guy friend in high school, which made it incredibly easy to fall in love with him on boat rides on Lake Guntersville under the hot July sun just a couple of summers ago...

Do you miss anyone?

Evan can attest that some days I have overwhelming home-sicknesses. There are just these days when I want to hear my dad's laugh down the hallway or see my mom sitting at the kitchen table, glasses perched on her nose, reading the paper and surrounded by all the family pets. I'm shocked to say that I miss Wednesday night chapters and brief moments of fashion police and passing notes with my favorites in my pledge class. I miss Lauren, who is easily the only friend I've ever been completely comfortable with... I never worried if Lauren was bored or wishing she was somewhere else because we could just be. Over Christmas break, I had more "girls nights" then I've had in my lifetime, and it's safe to say I miss my female fellowship with Anna and Erica and newlywed Lele. So yeah, I miss a few people.

What are you listening to?

I was watching Gilmore Girls, but in the course of my blogging it has faded into What I Like About You, which reminds me that it's time for my daily dose of What Not to Wear.

If you could be anywhere, where would you choose to be?

Traveling is one of my passions, so I'm up for going anywhere. I struggle, though, with wanting to revisit places I've been and fallen in love with or going somewhere completely different and new. I would love to return to Sweden and stay with my "brother" or go back to my previous summer home, Italy, where Peter walked and preached so many centuries ago or do England over again since I have developed such an obsession since I was last there... At the same time, though, I need to visit Paris and Greece and Germany and Egypt and Israel, not to mention the places I haven't been stateside: Boston, Seattle, LA, New Orleans, Charleston, San Francisco, Savannah, Dallas... or go back to DC or Chicago or NYC or Wyoming or Vegas.

Thanks for focusing the rest of my day on traveling daydreams, survey.

Did you laugh at all today?

I haven't had a sincere "lol" moment yet today because I just haven't been awake long enough, but I've been amused several times.

Who was the last person you had a serious conversation with?

Evan, whose sweet grandmother passed away yesterday morning.

What color are your sheets?

They are bright green, and my precious "in-laws" gave them to me for my birthday. They're silky soft and have a weird sheen to them, which gives them kind of a trashy look, and I love them so so much.

Are you clumsy?

I have my moments, but I've never considered myself particularly clumsy, no.

What made you start liking the person your currently into?

Look out, this could get long. I met Evan when I was in 8th grade and he was on the golf team that my dad coached. I would hang out on the driving range-- this trend goes back to when I was a toddler-- while the boys swung and hacked away. I don't know how we got into it, but Evan sang the "Elmo Song" to me. It was so funny and sweetly embarrassing and genuine. Later, in high school, Evan made me laugh constantly and looked at me like I was the only person in the room (don't get me wrong, I loved this, but I was not "into" him yet). Later in life, when I knew that I knew that I knew that I knew that Evan was one of the most intelligent, wittiest, genuinely kind men I had ever met, I had that "duh" moment.

What will you be doing tonight?

Tonight I'll go to class, and then I'll make the long drive home to be with the Harveys.

Will you be up before 7am tommorow?

Almost definitely not.

Do you believe that there's good in everybody?

I would like to think so...

If there were no letters on the keys on your keyboard could you still type?

It might take me a second to get going, but once I had my bearings, definitely.

In the past week have you cried?

No, I don't think so. Almost last night, but nope.

Who was the last person you talked to before you went to bed last night?

Like any good girlfriend, Evan. Duh.

If a guy/girl put their jacket on a puddle for you, would you actually walk on it?

I would much rather a guy pick me up and swing me over the puddle, like you'd see in a musical. But to answer your question, absolutely not.

What distance would you go to see someone you really liked?

I have driven as many as three hours, but I think that's the max so far. That's not to say it's as far as I would go, though...

Where was the last place you fell asleep other than your own bed?

Any time I'm at the Harvey house, I immediately fall asleep on the red couch.

Do you watch MTV anymore?

Can't say that I do, unless there's and ANTM marathon (duh).

So, what do you want for your birthday?

I want to go to my Papaw's lake and fish and maybe take a boat ride on the lake to look at houses and then sing around a fire in my back yard... with everyone I love in this world.

If you had to choose what your mother would wear for the rest of her life, would you?

Maybe... sometimes Mom's spot on, sometimes... she's not. :)

If your best-friend told you that she was going to get a new haircut, that you thought was ugly, would you try to tell her not to?

Lauren and I are the queen of hair cuts and colors; I would gladly give her my opinion.

Do you think this year will be better than the last?

I don't see why not, although I did some pretty rockin' things in '09...
