Rules rules rules: Answer the questions. If you don't like one, replace it with a new, better question and answer that one -

01. What are your nicknames?

Jess, Doodle (don't have too many nicknames)

02. How do you style your hair?

I don't really. Sometimes I play with it, but mostly I just wear it down and hopefully not too frizzy.

03. What's new in your life right now?

My job, I guess.

04. How many colors are you wearing now?

Grey sweatpants and a brown shirt.

05. Are you an introvert or extrovert?

Mostly an introvert, but it depends on my mood.

06. What was the last book you read?

It's kind of sad, but I can't remember. Unless manga counts. But I don't think it does ;)

07. Do you nap a lot?

No. I can't really do the whole napping thing. I never actually fall asleep. And if for some reason I do, I never feel refreshed after.

08. If the person you secretly like is already taken, what would you do?

I don't think I've ever liked anyone I knew like that, so I can't say.

09. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?

Quite a lot, actually - my living situation; my future; my family; the economy/my money situation; etc.

10. What's your favorite dessert?

Anything chocolate. (seconded)

11. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

Half hour if I'm rushed. Hour if I have some time. It depends. (seconded this as well)

12. What websites do you visit daily?

LJ, Gmail, FB, Twitter, Google

13. Do you give a fuck about an oxford comma?

I kind of do, actually.

14. Do you like to clean?

Not really. If I have the urge to clean, it probably means I'm sick. I have weird reactions to things.

15. What's the last song that got stuck in your head?

'We Wish You a Merry Christmas' thanks to the symphony.

16. What's the last movie you saw?

All Over the Guy. Watched it last night.

17. What would you do if your favourite author (if he/she is dead, pretend they're alive) showed up at your door?

Be a little creeped out that he came back from the dead, get over it, and then ask for his autograph and ask questions about my favorite books.

18. What is your least favorite thing to do that you have to do every day?

Getting up. I am SO NOT a morning person.

19. Best time of your life?

Hopefully, has yet to come. But I had SO MUCH FUN in London, Scotland, and Comic-Con over the summer.

20. What are you most looking forward to in the coming month?

January? Or the rest of December? December - Christmas, and let's be honest, presents. January - Don't really know. Most of what I'm looking forward to comes after that.

I have a movie rec for y'all - All Over the Guy. '4 Friends, 3 Guys, 2 Couples... You Do The Math.'

It's a romcom, but it's sweet, funny, and more 'realistic' than most others (aka it made me cry). Also, it has Richard Ruccolo (2 Guys, A Girl, And a Pizza Place), Sasha Alexander (NCIS), Christina Ricci, Lisa Kudrow, and Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond).

And a recipe rec too - Roasted Artichoke Salad. Mmmmmm... I made it tonight and my mom LOVED it.
