I want to take you far frm the cynics in this town

1. Whats your middle name? 

Lukens, my mom’s maiden name.

22. Piercings? 

3 per ear lobe (though I only ever wear the first in each ear these days) and my nose (nostril, left side).

40. What do you do before you go to bed? 

I get my pajamas on, then often go on my computer for a bit. Then I plug in my phone and/or computer if they’re dying, brush my teeth, pee, say goodnight to my roomie. Then I turn off my light, get in bed, set my alarm(s) for the morning and go to bed.

13. Ever get so drunk you don’t remember the entire night?
No. Have I ever forgotten portions of a night? Yes. But never the entire thing, and any sort of blacking out is pretty rare. I like to go out with my friends, go to the bars, go to parties, but I try hard not to overdo it. And if I do drink a bit too much one night? Well, what can I do? Try to be a little more careful in the future. 

29. Have you ever loved someone?
Have I ever loved someone romantically/been in love with someone? not yet. I look forward to feeling that someday, but I’m not rushing, I’m not complaining.

34. If you could go to any place right now where would you go?
I’d love to go to New York City, because I haven’t been there recently enough for my liking, and also to an ocean beach, because ocean beaches are my happy place and I’d love to go once more before summer concludes.

35. Are you missing someone?
I miss my parents in little ways often. Not in a homesick, ache sort of way, but because they’re wonderful people and I enjoy spending time with them. 

And I miss my closest friends from high school, who all live a few states away.

35. Do you have a tattoo?
Yes, it’s on the left side of the middle of my back. It’s a turquoise wave with the line “it’s always ourselves we find in the sea” from an E.E. Cummings poem underneath it in slightly darker ink.

38. Are you hiding something from someone?
Hmm. Well, I’m sort of hiding the details of my love/sex life from some of my friends because they have proved judgmental/gossipy on things of that matter and I don’t think it’s their business. 

My mother is also so eager to know about things of that nature and I refuse to tell her about them. I feel bad not including her when she’s so accepting and loving, but it just makes me uncomfortable. Both because I’m fairly private about such things and because I feel weird telling my family about boys with whom things are casual.
