Have you ever been skinny dipping?

Yes. My first time was two years ago when I went camping with my friends from high school... this was when I first discovered the glorious feeling of swimming naked.

My most memorable time was skinny dipping in Lake Placid last April. It was still half-frozen (i.e. from where we got in the water we could see the ice line)... the most invigorating way to start your day!

What have you tried in life that you just weren't very good at?

Haha, this could be a whole number of things. Basketball - I'm terrible at basketball. I don't know what it is, I just lack the coordination for it.

The other thing I'm pretty bad at are multiple-choice tests. I'm terrible at taking exams and tests. I just get so nervous. And I don't enjoy learning information that way. I'd rather write essays and apply what I've learned, or learn through experience, than learn by being tested.

I'll have to learn to be good at them though... with my RN exam coming up in June. (Two more weeks of classes, then I'm done with my undergraduate degree!)

I'm also terrible at chemistry. In high school it was by far my worst subject. I'm also not good at maths that don't have a practical application, like calculus. If I don't understand the point of it I won't do well... haha :) I do well at things I enjoy though, and I'm pretty open to trying everything!

When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried?
Submitted by Maraschino.

During Reading Week (spring break) in February while I was on my ski/snowboard trip with the BFF. I don't even remember what we were laughing about. Probably something silly, per usual. We once spent two hours laughing at nothing except maybe the fact that we were laughing while eating chocolate. Two hours solid of just laughing because we couldn't help it. But then again, I'm usually at my happiest around her... she's gone to Austria on exchange. 3.5 months til I get to see her again! And it will be in Europe in Innsbruck. How thrilling is that! I'm super psyched for it. :)

How did you create your username for VOX? What influenced your decision?
Submitted by Strive2Be.

Haha, it's just my nickname... what everyone calls me. I was surprised it was still available actually, since I don't have this as a username on any other site except maybe some forums.

As an aside, I've been pretty busy lately. The scientist has done nothing but annoy me from the moment I broke it off... I don't know what it is. I have been pondering lately what this says about my personality; am I a bad person to be so fickle with my feelings? Am I too hopeful at the start of relationships, only to have them fail because of flaws in the other person? Am I too picky, asking for too much from those I date?

I think I will take time now to get to know people before jumping. Maybe it's just that I jump too fast. And then later regret it. But I don't really regret anything that happened in the past two months with the scientist; in my mind it just didn't work out. He irritates the fuck out of me right now... did I already mention that? Haha.

I have been spending more time lately with the boy. Every time I do I am reminded of why I am not with him. It's a nice friendship we have. We are ridiculously used to each other's presence. I forgot how reassuring that could be... even if it is purely platonic now.

I'm not interested in any more relationships at the moment. I just want to meet people and have fun. I am feeling selfish and I don't think I'm ready for a relationship right now. I lack the patience for being with another person and there isn't any person in particular I want to be with, so why rush or bother? I enjoy my single life. I am not sitting here crying because I don't have a date... I am living because I don't have any :) Yay singles!

What's the biggest leap of faith you've ever had to take?

Hahaha I answered this question only because last year I answered a very similar one. The biggest leap of faith I had to take... was probably trusting the boy with my heart around this time last year.

And it's over between us but in the end, I'm glad I took that risk because now I look back and I can honestly say that on my part I tried and I don't regret anything about our relationship.

p.s. As a side note, I'm not with the scientist anymore. Long story to follow. I feel like my love life has been very adventurous in the past year and I'm proud of myself for adventuring.

If you could teleport to any place in the world right this second, where would you go?

Somewhere where I didn't know anyone and couldn't be touched and felt invincible.
Probably somewhere hot, in the middle of a body of water, on a boat (probably a C-1) on my own.

I want to be left alone today.

What is your favorite scent or smell and why? 
Submitted by Nebraska Plates.

Fresh lilacs in May... they just smell amazing. And so hopeful for the coming season. And it's right around my birthday and the weather is usually nice and it's just a lovely time of year.

And I also like the way the scientist smells. He wears this cologne that smells crisp and clean and really sexy. I have no idea what it is. But it's nice :) I like.

Things are going well. I'm currently procrastinating. I was so driven to write this essay this morning, and then I got 'distracted' by the scientist in my bed, and then I lost all my motivation. I guess coaches are right when they encourage their players to abstain for the night before the big game.

Off I go to try to write some more paper!

What's your favorite hangover cure? 
Submitted by Soup.

Lazing around in bed, usually with whomever I've been drinking heavily with, whether it's BFF or my scientist, marathon of TV shows and snacky food within reach. If I need to get things done... getting up early, having a big breakfast, exercising within an hour, and cleaning my house. 

If you could ask any question in the world and get a true answer, who and what would you ask? 
Submitted by jaypo.

I would ask God whether or not we are really self-destructing.

If you were suddenly granted the day off today, how would you go spend your free time?

I would go to the library, do some 'learning modules' for my health policy class, then eat lunch, hit the gym, and spend whatever time I could with my scientist. I like him a whole lot. =) enough to want to spend time with him and take him home to meet my parents. Seriously.
