Walk away. Or ignore them. Or punch them in the face. Either way.

Books. Or maybe towards my credit card debt? That would be a good plan.

21. what do you consider a fashion faux pas?
Trying too hard.

22. who according to you is the most over-rated writer?
Stephenie Meyer. I know, I know- I've read Twilight, I've seen the movies. The concept is pretty innovative, but the writing really is crap.

23. what brings a smile on your face instantly?
Stupid cat pictures, funny text messages from teh BFF's.

24. a word that you say a lot?
The F-Word. I try really, REALLY hard not to and I'm getting better, but it's definitely still present in my vernacular.

25. what kind of haircut do you prefer?
I would love LOVE to have long hair. I think it's much more versatile. However, by the time my hair gets to the "growing out" point, it tends to get stringy and annoying. So, short and layered it is!

Laundry, homework, and running some errands.

Take a nap with the fat gray cat.

Nice weather.

There are so many....but lately, I've been into foreign films with subtitles.

30. what inspires you?
Literature. Poetry. Movies. Music. Photography. Paintings. Art, in a word.

31. what do your friends call you most commonly?
Loud. Or neurotic.

32. would you prefer coffee or tea?
Tea. Coffee tends to upset my stomach.

33. which other blogs do you love visiting?
A lot of them. Anything that doesn't take itself too seriously, is witty, has great ideas, or beautiful images.

34. favorite dessert/sweet?
Popsicles. I've also been known to inhale creme brulee, but I'm trying to eliminate dairy so that's not happening anymore.

35. how many tabs are turned on in your browser right now?
Four. That's pretty tame 'round these parts.

Fall. I love all the smells and the colors and the weather. It's pretty much perfect.

38. one wish that you really want to see it come true?
An appropriate plan for environmental conservation, a solution to world hunger and a solution to all the excess consumption, particularly in America. That counts as one wish, right?

39. what breaks your heart?
Mistreatment of animals. Close-minded people. Young girls who feel the need to objectify themselves as a result of low self-esteem.

40. what's one thing you really want to do in life?
Live with total independence.
