[218]

THIS SURVEY IS STRICTLY FOR FEMALES ONLY:

1. if you were to have sex right now, would you use a condom?
yes.
2. do you think its bad to have sex at your age?
uhh well if it's with a lot of random guys then that's pretty slutty, but if it's with a boyfriend that you've had for a while, i don't think there's anything wrong with it.
3. do you have a crush on any of your teachers?
haha mr. mckenna is adorable.
4. what do you think of your teachers?
um. i like most of them. they're pretty cool. except for mr. donlon with his enigmatic lucy manete-esque forehead and temper tantrums.
5. do you love anybody?
i love my friends and family and i care a whole lot about jeremy, but i don't know if i'm in love. i think i might be, but those things are really hard to figure out.
6. what would you do if you got pregnant?
get an abortion. or if i found out less than a week after it happened, i would do one of those emergency contraception things. you know, plan B or whatever they're called. which is basically the same thing as an abortion.
7. do you have fake or real fingernails?
real.
8. have you started your menstrual cycle (period)?
yes.
9. if yes, how old were you?
twelve, in seventh grade. october fourth, 2004. it was a half day, and i was over at my friend jenn's house after school. her family is like my second family, so i was extremely glad i had it at her house instead of at school or something, which is what would have happened if it were a full day.

please don't ask how i remembered all of that.
10. do you have boobs?
i do. i like them very much. they're an excellent size, not so small that they're undesirable, but not big so that they get in the way or don't allow for spontaneous jumping and things like that.
11. tampons or pads?
tampons. i hate pads, they make it feel like you're wearing a diaper. however, i do wear pads when i sleep because i'm afraid of getting toxic shock syndrome if i use a tampon overnight. you know, that sometimes fatal tampon disease.
12. how old were you when you had your first boyfriend?
fourteen.
13. who do you talk to about personal problems?
jeremy and my close friends.
14. do you wear makeup?
eyeliner and mascara, and some concealer if i really need it. oh and sometimes my face gets unbearably shiny, in which case i have to use powder.
15. thongs or full underwear?
i only like to wear thongs if the pants i'm wearing would show regular underwear through them. maybe i just need to get used to them more, but i'm just not crazy about that everlasting wedgie feeling. so i usually just wear low-rise bikinis. but my favorites are boyshorts because they make my butt look incredibly cute.
16. do you shower daily?
yes, in the morning. but sometimes i don't on sundays because those are my sit-around-and-try-to-do-homework days when i don't step foot outside. like today.
17. do you think any guys are going to take this survey?
i don't think any guys look around on xanga for survey sites.
18. do you wear a bra?
yes. it's so gross when you see those preteen girls that have boobs but don't wear a bra yet, and they're all jiggly and pointy under their shirts. it makes me gag.
19. do you sleep in your bra?
sports bra. i like my support.
20. do you love to shop?
yeah.
21. are you girly?
not especially, but i'm not a tomboy or anything.

i love walking around barefoot or in socks, even in class/lunch at school. and purses are annoying, i like using my pockets because i don't like carrying things around.
23. who's a female adult that is close to you?
besides my mom, i'm pretty close to monica's mom, aka TRIPLE M! (miss monica's mom) and jenn's mom, aka mumsy. and also laura's mom, mrs. schneider, who i don't have a nickname for. oh and mrs. gaylor, who my whole ethnic lit class is close to because practically all we do in that class is share life stories.
24. who's a male adult that is close to you?
uhh. i'm not really close to any but my dad. i guess maybe leanne's dad?

nope.
26. do you wear revealing clothing?
no.
27. does anyone ever tell you your clothing is too revealing?
nope.
28. what is your favorite accessory?
i don't actually wear accessories except for the occasional necklace like five times a year. but i do wear cute asian hair clips like once a month or something.
29. do you shave your legs/underarms?
yes. armpits always, but during the winter i sometimes go like a month without shaving my legs because nobody's gonna see them anyway. and those who actually might see them, like my best friends at sleepovers or jeremy, won't care because i'm really close to them.
30. in sports, do you act girly?
hah. i don't play sports.
31. do you believe all men are pigs?
no. i'm friends with some very nice guys.
32. hugs or kisses?

only on weekends. i don't want to wake up my whole family.

they're kinda funny.
