YOU:
Relationship Status – Single
Shoe size – 39
Parents still together – Yes. They have been, more or less, since they were 17. This was cute when my friends and I were 15, and it made us worry when we were 17.
Siblings – two younger sisters
Pets – I had a goldfish named Bubble (the origin of my Livejournal name). My family has a rabbit and a dog, and I think of them as my pets.
FAVORITES:
Colour – Blue is the automatic, default answer. But green is probably really my favorite, especially when it's in my living room combined with off-white and brown.
Number - 13. No one else likes it, and I think I should.
Animal - Sea otters, manatees, wheaten terriers.
Book – Oh, come on! I can't pick one.
Flower – They always die on me.
DO YOU:
Twirl your hair? – Yes, and run my fingers through it, push it back from my face, hold it in a pony-tail just to get it off my neck, twirl the whole pony-tail into a chignon type style and then let it go - just basically a lot of fidgeting.
Have tattoos? – Absolutely not.
Cheat on tests? – Never.
Like roller coasters? – Hate them! Why wait half an hour in line for a stomach ache?
OPINIONS:
Wish you could live somewhere else? - Yes. Although I do like it here.
Write in cursive or print? – I type.
Know how to drive? – Yes. But I'm better at walking and taking public transportation.
Own a cell phone? - Yes. Of course. By the way, I was the last person in my class to get one. I had been telling my parents that all the other kids had cell phones, but it didn't really work until my dad did a research project on cell phones and concluded that all the kids did have cell phones.
Been in love? – Yes. But it is a rare occasion.
Current clothing – A red and white dress.
Current hair – A little long. I'm getting it cut at five today.
Current thing I ought to be doing – writing my bachelor thesis
Current CD in stereo – a playlist on my computer with lots of different stuff. The current song is Back to Black with Amy Winehouse.
Last movie you saw – a very depressing Wallander film.
Last thing you ate – Breakfast: blueberry müsli cereal and toast with cream cheese
Life on other planets? – There must be. Even my notoriously sceptical dad believes.
Do you hate yourself? – Of course not. In fact, I like myself quite a lot.
Collect anything? – I liked Elisabeth's answer: "'Collect' has such a 90's ring to it. But yeah, things accumulate." I mainly accumulate white sweaters, books and coffee cards.
LOVE:
First crush – Hard to say. Depends on the definition of crush, but probably this guy in elementary school who's name I can't remember. It didn't last.
You believe in love at first sight? – Interest at first sight. Love at first conversation. I've been there.
You believe in "the one?" - I suppose there might be one person who is the very most perfect match for any one other person. But that isn't necessarily someone you're going to meet, and a lot of other people may be so close to perfect that you won't care. I believe there are a lot of interesting people out there and that perfection is what you make of it.
Are you a tease? – Only when I don't try.
Too shy to make the first move? – Yes. While I'm not shy about getting to know people, I'm shy about going from friends to more than that.
ARE YOU:
A Daydreamer – Yes.
Sarcastic – Yes. At least my blog is, according to a journalist I don't know who read it. He wrote that my sarcasm makes him laugh out loud. I am very happy about this, by the way.
Shy – Yes. But when I tell people I am, they say: "No, you're not."
Talkative - Depends on the topic, other person and amount of coffee.
WOULD YOU RATHER:
Get your nose or lip pierced? – Nose. I would rather draw attention to my nose (which I like) than my very small lips.
ARE YOU:
Simple or complicated? – Complicated. Very complicated. I barely understand myself.
ABOUT YOU:
What time is it – Almost lunch, and I haven't done anything today.
Name - Julie
Nickname(s) – Bulle, Umri-Amri and random endearments like Pookie, Pus, vennen, kjære etc.
WHAT DO YOU WANT:
Where do you want to live – In a city where there is good coffee, good bookstores and good friends.
How many kids do you want – Two.
What kind of job do you want – Writer. Preferably journalist for The Economist. And then write some novels maybe.
Do you want to get married – Ideally, yes, but only if the time and person are really, really right.
UNIQUE:
Nervous Habits – Nervous? Probably giggling, being very quiet, doing distracting things like this.
Are you double jointed – No. Despite all the yoga and ballet, I am naturally not flexible.
Can you roll your tongue – Yes.
Can you raise one eyebrow – No
Can you cross your eyes – Yes.
Do you make your bed daily – Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
CLOTHES, ETC:
Which shoe goes on first - The right one, now that I think of it.
Ever thrown one at someone – I must have.
How much money do you carry in your wallet – Right now, maybe 50 kr. Usually not much, just my card.
IN THE LAST MONTH HAVE YOU:
Bought something – Coffee. Much.
Gotten sick – Head aches.
Sung – No.
Felt stupid – not very
Missed someone – Not really.
Gotten your hair cut - No, but I will today!
Watched cartoons – Nope.

LAST PERSON THAT:
Slept in your bed – Me. Until this morning.
Saw you cry – Thinking back... It's been a while. Likely to have been one of my parents.
Made you cry – Again, I can't remember.
Saw a movie with you – Heidi, Per Ivar, Ingebjørg Christina, Isabell.
HAVE YOU EVER:
Been to California – Yes. Loved it.
Been to Canada – Yes. Prince Edward Island.
Wished you were the opposite sex – For a short while when I saw how quiet and orderly their part of the Zara clothing store was. Then I noticed the lack of skirts and dresses in their part of the store, and realized that if I were a guy, I would be a transvestite. Which would probably make shopping more of a hassle than it is now.
