Friday Procrastination
OK it's Friday and I got a huge gift in the form of a pushed-back deadline at work, so I'm making the most of it by procrastinating with another survey. (This one stolen from Dhavid, who stole it from Donovan).
1. ONE WISH? Never to die.
2. ARE YOU A LOVER OR A FIGHTER? Oh god, lover. Me, fight?
3. WHAT’S YOUR WORST FEAR? Living a life devoid of friends and family.
4. AS A KID, WERE YOU A LEGO MANIAC? Oh heck yeah. I don't know how many times I built and rebuilt my medieval castle...
5. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF “REALITY” TV? It's a complete guilty pleasure. I didn't intend to be a fan, but I am. Selectively.
6. DO YOU CHEW ON YOUR STRAWS? Yeah, and I use them to pick my teeth too.
7. WERE YOU A CUTE BABY? I think I was kinda funny-looking, but most babies are. I did have blue eyes though. (What happened?)
8. IS THE SINGLE LIFE FOR YOU? Hell no. Not that I have a married life to compare to or anything. But I have been single longer than I thought I'd be at this point in my life.
9. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR KEYBOARD? Black, both here at work and at home.
10. DO YOU SING IN THE SHOWER? Not often, but occasionally. I almost always have songs in my head while I'm in the shower, though.
11. HAVE YOU EVER BUNGEE JUMPED? No. I'd do it if I had to (for The Amazing Race or something), but no real desire.
12. ANY SECRET TALENTS? I can make my eyeballs vibrate. It's kinda gross. (No, really!)
13. WHAT’S YOUR IDEAL VACATION SPOT? Somewhere with good weather, no stress, and no way for work to contact me.
14. IS JAY LENO FUNNY? He can be, but most of the time the schtick is getting kind of stale.
15. CAN YOU SWIM? Ye-es... but not all that well. I love being in the water though.
16. HAVE YOU SEEN THE MOVIE “DONNIE DARKO”? Nope. (Shocker!)
17. DO YOU GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE OZONE? Yes, but more because no one who can actually do something about it seems to, and someday that's going to become a problem.
18. HOW MANY LICKS DOES IT TAKE TO GET TO THE CENTER OF A TOOSTIE POP? More than I've got the patience for. I always end up biting into the thing.
19. CAN YOU SING THE ALPHABET BACKWARDS? Z-Y-X-W-V-U-T.. that's where I lose it. I only got that far in memorizing Big Bird's version of the backwards alphabet song.
20. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ON AN AIRPLANE? Oh, have I ever.
21. ARE YOU AN ONLY CHILD? Ooh, you'd think this would be a yes/no answer. But for me, "sorta". I'm the only child of my parents' marriage to each other... but I have lots o'half brothers. (Hi guys!)
22. DO YOU PREFER ELECTRIC OR MANUAL PENCIL SHARPENERS? Electric. Manual is so3rd grade.
23. WHAT’S YOUR STAND ON HUNTING? If you're living before the Industrial age and you hunt to survive, sure, no problem. I especially like the communities that use every last bit of an animal that is killed, and have rituals of thanks for the animal for giving its life to them. But those guys didn't have guns, and the animals actually had a fighting chance. Hunting for sport is absolutely, completely unacceptable and horrific to me. How could you kill a living creature (okay, barring some of the insects and ants and such out there) just for fun?
24. IS MARRIAGE IN YOUR FUTURE? God I hope so. The sooner, the better!
25. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Not particularly, but people comment on it all the time.
26. WHAT ARE YOU ALLERGIC TO? Uhhh. Dust, mostly. Something in the air at my desk at work. And cat hair when it gets in my eye.
27. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAID I LOVE YOU”? This morning, and again in an email not long ago.
28. IS ELVIS STILL ALIVE? No. Does it matter?
29. DO YOU CRY AT WEDDINGS? I try not to, but I almost always subtly wipe away a tear or two. It's the music that gets me every time.
30. HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR EGGS? Over easy, sunny side up, scrambled, poached... just not pickled.
31. ARE BLONDES DUMB? Not all of them?
32. WHERE DOES THE OTHER SOCK END UP? Sock gnomes stole it and took it to a secret offsite location.
33. WHAT TIME IS IT? 3:53 PM
34. DO YOU HAVE A NICKNAME? Joan!
35. IS MCDONALD’S DISGUSTING? No, it's quite tasty actually. That's the problem, isn't it?
36. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE IN A CAR? Oh, earlier this morning, from 5:30 - 6:00.
37. DO YOU PREFER BATHS OR SHOWERS? Hard to beat a jacuzzi tub for R&R, but showers are much more convenient.
38. IS SANTA CLAUS REAL? I hope he is, at least in the minds of millions of kids.
39. KIRK OR PICARD? Picard. Kirk was lame. Picard had that cool, professional thing going. Kirk was just a horny frat boy.
40. ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK? Not when I'm familiar with my surroundings. Walking through the darkness in Africa was pretty trippy/scary though - never knew what animals were out there...
41. WHAT ARE YOU ADDICTED TO? Certain computer/video games... food... being with Kenyon...
42. CRUNCHY OR CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER? Crunchy!
43. CAN YOU CRACK YOUR NECK? No. Doesn't stop me from trying, though.
44. HAVE YOU EVER RIDDEN IN AN AMBULANCE? Er, no, I don't think I have. The hospital trips I've had have all been done by car.
45. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BRUSHED YOUR TEETH TODAY? Once.
46. IS DRUG FREE THE WAY TO BE? For me personally, and I'd hope for my friends and family, yeah...
47. ARE YOU A HEAVY SLEEPER? Not anymore. :(
48. WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR EYES? Green. Or hazel, if you insist. Or gold, according to some people. Or light brown. Depends on the light.
50. DO YOU LIKE YOUR LIFE? I really do right now. It's exciting and upbeat and fun.
51. LIQUOR OR BEER? Uhhh. Beer for socializing, liquor for getting smashed. Doesn't take much of either of them for me to get smashed.
52. ARE YOU PSYCHIC? Mmm hmm. Mom and I have a link, and Kenyon and I seem to have a few too many coincidences going on.
53. HAVE YOU READ “CATCHER THE RYE”? Yeah, in high school.
55. HAVE U EVER STOLEN MONEY? Hmmm. If I did (and while I'd like to think I didn't, I probably did), I don't remember it.
56. CAN YOU SNOWBOARD? Never tried.
57. DO YOU LIKE CAMPING? I don't mind it, but I'll take a mattress over sleeping on the ground any day.
58. DO U SNORT WHEN U LAUGH? Nope. Love it when HV snorts, though. (Hey HV, they say women who snort when they laugh are great in the sack... ;)
59. DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC? Not anymore. I'd love to know how some of those tricks work.
60. ARE DOGS A MAN’S BEST FRIEND? I'm not a man, you tell me.
61. DO YOU BELIEVE IN DIVORCE? I believe it's not always a bad thing in the long run, but I hope I never have to go through it myself
62. CAN YOU DO THE MOONWALK? I doubt I'd have the gumption to try it.
63.DO YOU MAKE A LOT OF MISTAKES? When, typing? Living my life? What's "a lot"? Compared to whom? I do make mistakes, but so does everybody...
64. IS IT COLD OUTSIDE TODAY? Not unless you're from Mercury or Venus.
65. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? A chocolate chip cookie. (Yeah, yeah, I could have lied, so shush.)
66.DO YOU WEAR NAIL POLISH? Not most of the time.
67. SWEATSHIRT OR JACKET? Jacket, at least most of the time. I'm starting to get into hoodies, though.
68. WHAT’S THE MOST ANNOYING COMMERCIAL? Most commercials are annoying. That's why I loooooove Tivo.
69. DO YOU SHOP AT AMERICAN EAGLE? Never have before...
70. DO YOU SNORE? Yep. Sorry about that, all of you who've had to endure that.
71. FAVORITE SONG AT THE MOMENT? Nothing on the radio. "Follow Through" by Gavin DeGraw, maybe?
1. ONE WISH? Never to die.
2. ARE YOU A LOVER OR A FIGHTER? Oh god, lover. Me, fight?
