cimorene

BASICS THAT BORE YOU
First off, what's your real name? ...
Why did your parents name you that, and do you wish they hadn't? literary character, and no, i quite like it
pseudonym? princess cimorene
where does that come from? protagonist of my favorite book, patricia wrede's dealing with dragons
How old are you? 20 on monday morning at 5:something am
How old are you emotionally? older than 20 somewhere
How about mentally? older than 20... my not-big-sister lisa says "you've been going on 36 since you were 12."

SEX, ETC.
ever had it? no
If you're a virgin, do you plan on having sex before you get married? Why or why not? yes. because i want to have sex soon and i have no plans to get married in the near future, lalala
Are you straight, bisexual, gay, or lesbian? dude, that's SUCH a philosophical can of worms. i could dive into it whole-heartedly and go on for hours. let's say bi.
Do you feel comfortable talking about sexual things or uncomfortable? well, some people can make me uncomfortable about it, but my feeling is, fuck that.
Do you feel comfortable talking about sexual things regarding your own experiences, what turns you on, etc.? er sometimes. with some people.
are you naive enough to think there are any human beings who have never masturbated? no
Do you think it's okay for members of the sex opposite your own to masturbate and why or why not? yes. it's occasionally hot and provides lots of joke fodder, not to mention plot fodder for mediocre romance of all varieties. just as long as they don't tell virtual strangers about it (ie, 'i could come from listening to you talk.')
are you kinky? perverted? how so? i like fingers, a lot, but it's not actually a fetish. i like to think about sex a lot, but it's... you know. i write gay porn. so yes. duh. fun! good! more porn all over the world. it would be a better place.
are your hormones making you undoubtedly horny? well, i would say that at some age not this one i might be less at the mercy of hormones than i am now
Have you ever had a sexual dream before, or "wet dream?" i pity the people who haven't. although having one and not being able to remember it properly sucks.
What do you think of pornography? Have you ever seen it? haven't ever seen it; idea seems faintly ridiculous.

LOVE
does something exist that you would call 'love'? yes.
romantic as opposed to other varieties, a separate entity? yes; romantic attachments are much more complex.
Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend? <3 <3 <3
Do you love them? Why or why not? yes. i'm terminally smitten. you wouldn't understand. suffice it to say she's the perfectest thing imaginable. it's lucky you can't die of cuteness.
How long have you been together? er. hm. i guess it was at the end of august that we did what she later said was making out, although it wasn't, and about a week after that that she said something about it to make me laugh bemusedly, as i'd thought it sort of obvious that we were having a romance for some time prior.
if no boyfriend or girlfriend: crush?
do you love the crush-object?
are having a crush and loving/being in love mutually exclusive? yes. crushes require that you not know the person. being in love requires that you know them.
On a scale of 1-10, one being the least and ten being the most, how important is your boyfriend, girlfriend, or crush to you? oh dear. i hate to see this question. she's the center of the universe.
On a scale of 1-10, how important is the way your boyfriend's/girlfriend's/crush's family feel about you to you? i don't suppose i really care, but then again, if they evinced hating me, i probably would
Are you physically attracted to your crush, boyfriend, or girlfriend? yesssssssssssssssssss precious.
How do you know when you love someone?

thechaosdiva says: you think about them all the time, you dream about them, you can't do anything without relating it to them in some way. the whole world sort of shifts around and you feel like you're a different person, even though you aren't.

FRIENDS

padawans,

kwirbx and john.

southpaw526,

kmazzy,

aeslis,

ninglor,

nemoricultrix,

mamahooch
how important are your friends to you? very. i tend to put them before all else, to hate people who hurt them, etc etc.
Have you ever fallen in love with a friend? no
How well do your friends know you? most of them know me pretty well, but making connections between two people is a tricky thing. how they know you is always partially colored by who THEY are and that changes who YOU are with them. some come closer than others. i fancy

wax_jism comes closest. which is probably as it should be.
Do you think they would still be your friends if they knew EVERYTHING, no exceptions, about you? If so, which friends? yes

YOUR PSYCHE
are you neurotic? yes
how? i'm overly anxious, and i'm a perfectionist, but i'm also incredibly lazy and apathetic, and i'm very easily irritated, which goes along with feeling superior to everyone else.
are you on any medications or anything? yes
have you seen a shrink? yes
If so, were they helpful to you? possibly, but not in the way they intended to be. they're pretty stupid. to do the kind of service they're meant to do, the person you're talking to has to know you REALLY well. talking to my dad, to lisa, to my best friends is much more useful.
Do you think your dreams are a window into your soul? no
what the fuck is a 'soul' anyway? i don't know because it doesn't exist
Or do they have any significance at all? they signify what is going on in your subconscious mind
Do you feel insecure with your own person? Have a self-esteem problem? nope.
why? my upbringing, i believe. i've never doubted that i'm fabulous.

RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY
What religion or system of beliefs, if any, do you subscribe to? i'm a unitarian universalist, officially. as for my beliefs, i'm only agnostic instead of atheist because there is no PROOF either way.
How much do you know about non-mainstream religions? hm. not a great deal. more than most people do, though.
Have you ever tried to convert someone to your own religion? er. no.
What is your overall opinion of televangelists? they're annoying morons who are insincere, greedy, manipulative, blah blah
What is your opinion of evangelists in general? they're annoying morons
If you could ask a deity, presuming the existence of one, a single question, what would it be? 'why?'

MUSIC
Is music important to you? yeah. i like it. it's distracting and soothing; it hooks into memories; it manipulates emotions.
Do you sing? If so, do you sing well? i sing ALONG with things, mainly. hm. well? not really, no. but i can kind of carry a tune.
What instruments do you play, if any? ex-oboist.

sex before marriage: yay sex. as long as it's safe. this is hard to 100% guarantee, of course, but still, i have nothing morally against it. personally, i require strong emotional involvement to be interested.
war on terrorism: what the fuck? yay, like the war on drugs. because we sure did beat those drugs into the ground.
israel and palestine: let's stop kissing israel's ass. really, any time now!
china: unfortunately, if we went in to free tibet and taiwan they'd probably start a nuclear war--nutters.
