I have finished my second-to-last assignment for the semester. Or preparing for it, anyway---which is as good as doing it, in my opinion---so I'm going to celebrate with a meme. Sev? ::crackle of parchment:: He's had a lovely, semester-long vacation while I've been buried in books and papers, so he's feeling almost chipper. ::parchment bat flutters out of dark corner:: See?

It seems rather arbitrary, but the randomness is somehow appealing....

A - Available: yes. but I'm not handing out my phone number, thank you very much.... ;)
A - Age: 26
A - Annoyance: lately, having to move out of everyone else's way...why do I have to be the only chivalrous one?

B - Birthday: August 14th

C - Crush: nope. not unless you count the very fictitious Logan Huntzberger (from Gilmore Girls)
C - Car: Nissan Maxima
C - Candy: anything dark chocolate. or involving peanut butter.

D - Day or night: day - afternoon, especially

F - Favorite color(s): cranberry red and peacock blue
F - Favorite Memory: too many to recount here. the most recent one is dancing and reciting poetry whilst intoxicated at Odette's apartment. we both desperately needed the catharsis.

G - Giver or taker: giver. (see annoyance listed above)

H - Hair Color: ash blonde
H - Height: 5’5

K - Kids: eventually, I hope
K - Kickboxing or Karate: can I pick another "k" sport? Klimbing, maybe?

M - Milk Flavor: chocolate, I guess. although I like it plain as well as mixed with eggnog

P - Part of your appearance you like best?: I rather like my figure, actually: it's not perfect, but I'm fond of it
