Haven't done one of these in a while. Stolen from Tumblr, so I'm changing a couple questions.
1) Put your iTunes on shuffle. Give me the first 6 songs that pop up.
Da Vinci's Notebook - "Enormous Penis"; Cast of American Idiot - "Know Your Enemy"; Switchfoot - "Faust, Midas and Myself"; Rajaton (covering ABBA) - "Waterloo"; Cast from RENT the Movie - "I'll Cover You (Reprise)"; Oasis - "Champagne Supernova".
2) If you could meet anyone on this earth, who would it be?
This is difficult. Most of the people I immediately thought of would just leave me without words to say. Probably either Stephen King or J.K. Rowling.
3) Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 23, give me line 17.
...There are only twelve on page 23. Dammit, Kay. You're worse than I am!
...about sentence length, and only sentence length. For the record.
4) What do you think about most?
Money, music, writing. Not necessarily in that order.
5) What does your latest text message from someone else say?
"Have fun"
6) Do you sleep with ____ or without ______ on?
I usually sleep naked. If I have clothing on, it's usually because it's a nap or I'm at someone else's place.
7) What’s your strangest talent?
I can move my eyes independently of each other.
8) Girls…. (finish the sentence); Boys…. (finish the sentence)
I'm going to steal Bree's answer. Girls do not need to conform to gender stereotypes. Boys do not need to conform to gender stereotypes.
9) Ever had a poem or song written about you? Don’t believe so.
Lol, yep. Entirely due to the "Gar 4 Drew" meme that went around Toronto NaNo... last year? The year before?
10) When is the last time you played the air guitar?
Last week some time.
11) Do you have any strange phobias?
Bridges and closed-off stairwells.
12) Ever stuck a foreign object up your nose?
Balled-up kleenex?
13) What’s your religion?
Neopagan/Wiccan.
14) If you are outside, what are you most likely doing?
Cursing Canadian weather and thanking the lake effect.
15) Do you prefer to be behind the camera or in front of it?
Behind, a thousand times. That's why I'm forcing myself to post pictures. :P
16) Simple but extremely complex. Favorite band?
Maroon 5.
17) What was the last lie you told?
I.. don't remember. I've been doing my best to cut down on lying, even white lies.
18) Do you believe in karma?
To an extent, yeah.
19) What does your URL username mean?
It's how a lot of people mispronounce "Beaudoin".
20) What is your greatest weakness; your greatest strength?
Overuse of semicolons and knowing how to use them properly.
Self-criticism is my greatest weakness (as, I'm sure, it is for most creative people); empathy is I think my greatest strength.
21) Who is your celebrity crush?
Right now, Taylor Lautner. Say what you will about how he looked a couple years ago, but have you seen him recently? Damn, has he grown into his looks. ("Llamaface" doesn't apply anymore. :( )
22) Have you ever gone skinny dipping?
No, but I want to act some point just so I can say I have.
23) How do you vent your anger?
Usually music, angry ranting online, and then video games. Recently I've been trying to go for bath instead of video games, and it really works.
24) Do you have a collection of anything?
D&D Minis? Not much of one, though.
25) Do you prefer talking on the phone or video chatting online?
Video chatting.
26) Are you happy with the person you’ve become?
Yep. I'm looking forward to the person I'll be in a few years, still, but I'm content with who I am. :D
27) What’s a sound you hate; sound you love?
Crunching on snow, and a well-played oboe.
28) What’s your biggest “what if”?
What if I'd managed to stay at Uni for music?
29) Do you believe in ghosts? How about aliens?
Yep.
30) Stick your right arm out; what do you touch first? Do the same with your left arm.
Monitor of my laptop, couch.
31) Smell the air. What do you smell?
My tea.
32) What’s the worst place you have ever been to?
I honestly could not tell you. There is nowhere that's unequivocally negative in my mind.
33) Choose East Coast or West Coast?
I have never been to either. (Well. I've been to Florida, but I don't care about the US's east vs west. :P)
34) Most attractive singer of your opposite gender?
Hayley Williams.
35) To you, what is the meaning of life?
To learn and pass it on.
36) Define Art.
Anything which manifests self-expression and meaning through aesthetic.

Yes. I'm not sure I believe it's a malleable force.
38) What’s the weather like right now?
Sunny/cloudy. The clouds are REALLY moving.

I'm halfway through Tigana; the last I read completely was Oryx and Crake.
42) Do you like the smell of gasoline? Yeah, actually.
43) Do you have any nicknames? Drew, Drewbie, Bdoing. A few others that are specific to certain people (there is only one person who will ever get away with calling me 'Vaginaface', for example).
44) What was the last movie you saw?
...Uhhh. The King's Speech.
45) What’s the worst injury you’ve ever had?
Car crash in Oct 2009. Messed up my back, neck, and shoulders. Lots of soft tissue damage, some spine damage. Luckily, nothing TOO severe (but severe enough I'm suing the driver).
46) Have you ever caught a butterfly?
Yep.
47) Do you have any obsessions right now?
Writing, I guess. If I don't edit or write for a couple days, I start feeling weird. (Which is awesome.)
48) What’s your sexual orientation?
Bisexual/pansexual. I use "bisexual" because I've always interpreted "bi" as "queer relationships/not-queer relationships"; I am occasionally attracted to trans people as well, so a lot of people tell me I should be IDing as pansexual. (I am also more often attracted to men physically and more often attracted to women emotionally, and have been wondering about my relationship with sex in general recently. Sexuality's stupid-complicated.)
49) Ever had a rumor spread about you?
Yep. Even one that was true -- I was outed like that in high school. :P
50) Do you believe in magic?
Yep.
51) Do you tend to hold grudges against people who have done you wrong?
I find this very difficult. I give second(, third, fourth) chances way too easily.

More often lust, more preferably love.
56) In a relationship with the devil?
Nope, not Christian.
57) How many relationships have you had?
Uhh. Define "relationships"? Assuming it's "we decided we were an item and told people as such", then... 5. Could realistically be anywhere from two to about ten.
58) Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
Nope.
59) Where were you yesterday?
Home all day. Was going to go get my shots for Cameroon, but sick Drew was (and still is) sick.
60) Is there anything pink within 10 feet of you?
Nope. (Well. Some of the stripes on a tie.)
61) Are you wearing socks right now?
Yep.
62) What’s your favorite animal?
Foxes or lynxes.
63) What is your secret weapon to get someone to like you?
o_O
64) Where is your best friend?
Just started work.
65) Spit or swallow?(;
I sincerely hope you’re talking about toothpaste, in which I’d like to mention that you really shouldn’t swallow toothpaste. <--- keeping Shawn's answer for posterity, but usually spit.
66) What is your heritage? Beyond 'Canadian': Irish, Scottish, American, French-Canadian (because that tends to be considered a different ethnic group), French, Belgian, German, English, Welsh. I think that's all Mom's found. :P
67) What were you doing last night at 12 AM?
Playing Skyrim, I think.
68) What do you think is Satan’s last name?
Again, not Christian.

There are very few non-asexual people over the age of about 16 who would be able to honestly answer no to this.
70) Are you the kind of friend you would want to have as a friend?
Yes? When I realized I wasn't, back in high school, I changed until I was.
71) You are walking down the street on your way to work. There is a dog drowning in the canal on the side of the street. Your boss has told you if you are late one more time you get fired. What do you do?
Call in to work and save the dog if at all possible. Any place who wouldn't make an exception for that is not likely somewhere I'd want to work much longer anyway.
72) You are at the doctor’s office and she has just informed you that you have approximately one month to live. a) Do you tell anyone/everyone you are going to die? b) What do you do with your remaining days? c) Would you be afraid?
a) Probably, yes. I wouldn't make it public knowledge, but I'd put it out there for friends to know (and honestly, at this point there would be a LOT of trying to get people to fill my role in upcoming things through the end of the year).
b) Write like a fiend, play video games forever.
c) Yep.
73) You can only have one of these things; trust or love.
Trust. Love without trust isn't love.
74) What’s a song that always makes you happy when you hear it?
Schizophrenia by Jukebox the Ghost.
75) What are the last four digits in your cell phone number?
3245
76) In your opinion, what makes a great relationship?
Good, open conversation.
77) How can I win your heart? Being awesome and genuine, making a concerted effort to be my friend. (And, uh, being what I'm looking for as well? Else I'd be dating most of my best friends.)
78) Can insanity bring on more creativity?
That's what I'm banking on!
79) What is the single best decision you have made in your life so far?
...honestly, dropping out of university. There was a ton of ways it could have gone wrong, but it set me on the path I'm on now.
80) What size shoes do you wear?
Depending on brand, between 11-12. I usually look for 11.5W, but that doesn't always exist.
81) What would you want to be written on your tombstone?
Whatever my next of kin would want to see. Or possibly a horrible pun/joke. Y'know, to troll even after death.
82) What is your favorite word?
Either ethereal or vitriol.
83) Give me the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word "heart".
"Warming"
84) What is a saying you say a lot?
"It's all good."
85) What’s the last song you listened to?
I Don't Want to Be - Gavin DeGraw
86) Basic question; what’s your favorite color/colors?
Green or blue.
87) What is your current desktop picture?
It rotates between a bunch of pictures I took at the zoo.
88) If you could press a button and make anyone in the world instantaneously explode, who would it be?
I wouldn't.
89) What would be a question you’d be afraid to tell the truth on?
I can't think of one.
90) One night you wake up because you heard a noise. You turn on the light to find that you are surrounded by MUMMIES. The mummies aren’t really doing anything, they’re just standing around your bed. What do you do?
Probably freak the fuck out, then resolve to drink less before bed and/or cut out the drugs I must have started.
91) You accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good, and what’s even cooler is that they endow you with the super-power of your choice! What is that power?
Transformation.
92) You can re-live any point of time in your life. The time-span can only be a half-hour, though. What half-hour of your past would you like to experience again?
I honestly don't know. One of the days when I was a kid and was running around the nearby forest, care-free.
93) You can erase any horrible experience from your past. What will it be?
I don't think I would, not even the rape. It was awful, but it shaped who I am now.
94) You have the opportunity to sleep with the music-celebrity of your choice. Who would it be?
Probably Adam Levine.
95) You just got a free plane ticket to anywhere. You have to depart right now. Where are you gonna go?
Somewhere tropical. If I did this in the summer, it'd be Dublin.
96) Do you have any relatives in jail?
Nope.
97) Have you ever thrown up in the car?
Once on the way home from my grandparents'. I can remember it in way too much detail.
98) Ever been on a plane?
Yep! Three times (to Florida and back, with a layover in Cleveland).
99) If the whole world were listening to you right now, what would you say?
Stop trying to run others' lives and focus on your own.
100) Give me your top 5 favorite blogs on Tumblr comms.
Uhhh. ask_me_anything, weepingcock, proseoverbros, politicartoons, sf_drama. Kind of hesitant to put that last one on there, but lurking (and avoiding dogpiling) has taught me a lot about social justice issues and how to be a better person in the world.
Da Vinci's Notebook - "Enormous Penis"; Cast of American Idiot - "Know Your Enemy"; Switchfoot - "Faust, Midas and Myself"; Rajaton (covering ABBA) - "Waterloo"; Cast from RENT the Movie - "I'll Cover You (Reprise)"; Oasis - "Champagne Supernova".
