We Have All The Time In The World...

Nov 11, 2005 02:45

Greetings and salutations.

As we continue the march to my birthday (November 19th, one week from tomorrow), things are still looking up. Not much has happened, as usual, but things have been fairly pleasant. I just wish I could discipline myself to stop staying up too late and get some sleep, so I can stop making shit mistakes at work (like shorting my till nine dollars). Ah well, I was forgiven, and they still love me. At least I think they do...

On an unrelated note, I don't really listen to a lot of it, and I don't even have any CDs of such, but I really like jazz. I saw a movie recently which had periodic numbers in it, and I was really getting into it. Ir reminded me of how I used to stay up to 6 AM so I could hear the Jazz Brunch on FNX. I particularly like when jazz musicians utilize a piano in some form; the piano is my favourite musical instrument, even more so than the guitar. It's so laid-back and beautiful.

Here's an interesting illusion.

I'm trying to avoid LJ surveys like the plague, but dupreesdarling posted one that seemed interesting, and I figured it'd be worth a go. And, besides, what better way to welcome a new LJ buddy than to steal one of their surveys?!

1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?

I don't think I really have any scars (other than pock marks, which I have plenty of...)

2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?

Lots and lots of Evanescence posters. I have a huge Amy Lee one on my door and eight posters of them on my ceiling. I also have various magazine pages of them hanging up there. In addition, on the wall behind my computer, I have a large Dawn of the Dead one (from the '70s), hanging next to a smaller one of the remake (that I got free at the movie theatre), and a Beatles Let it Be banner-type poster above them; a Pink Floyd one behind my stereo; two Kill Bill ones on my ceiling (between the Evanescence ones); and, above my bed, I have Spider-Man, Avril Lavigne, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (one of the original), Kurt Cobain and Freddy vs. Jason. An odder combination of posters you'll never find! I also have various magazine pin-ups of various bands on my ceiling and scattered through my room.

3. WHAT DOES YOUR CELL PHONE LOOK LIKE?

It's silver, small, and I think I set the ringtone to the Halloween theme. I don't bother with it anymore, though.

4. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO?

I love rock music. My favourite band is Evanescence. I love a bunch of different bands, and I think '80s music is great. In fact, I recently bought a greatest hits album by Missing Persons, and I'm addicted to the song "Mental Hopscotch." Download it!

5. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?

Around 11 PM on a Saturday night. My mum wanted to watch Mommy Dearest that night, but shit happened. Literally.

6. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?

Gary Norris. And a shower. And a pizza.

7. WHAT DO YOU MISS AT TIMES?

Hmm...I don't know, really. There are some things in the past that I miss, but can't really dwell on them, y'know. I suppose sometimes I miss having a weekday off, but I'd have to work weekends to do that, and it's better off this way.

8. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION?

I have a copy of X-Men vol. 2 #1 that I can pawn off to put my children through college. Actually...I really don't know. Maybe my computer.

9. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SMELL?

Hmmm...another tricky one. Fresh baked cookies, orange spice, pizza baking in the oven, and lemon scented Pledge. Oh and gingerbread. There's probably loads others, I just can't think of any right now.

10. DO YOU GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC?

Not really.

11. IF YOU DIED TOMORROW:

They'll be really pissed off at work, because they'd have to quickly find someone to cover the service desk during weekdays.

12. THE LAST PERSON WHO MADE YOU CRY?

I was about upset over something that happened to my mum. I don't cry a lot, and certainly not about other people. I don't think I've cried about someone not related to me since my ex, which was almost three years ago. No one means that much to me, or has meant as much to me as she once did.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOGNE / PERFUME?

I don't like cologne, and I know shit about perfume, so I'll pass on this one.

14. WHAT KIND OF HAIR DO YOU LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SEX?

I have a thing for oddly-coloured hair. I know it's just people trying to change their identities and believing they can change what's within from the outside and all. But...it looks really pretty.

15. WHERE CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF BEING PROPOSED TO AT?

AC Moore. I sold my soul to that company.

16: DO YOU LIKE PORN?

Why, I'd never... (runs and hides. under my bed. next to a box of magazines.)

17. WHO IS THE LAST PERSON YOU MADE MAD?

Probably a customer.

18. DO YOU SPEAK A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE?

No. I know a little French, though. And I do randomly yell out "Muchos gracias!" to thank people at work. (I love when they say "De nada!")

19. WHAT WAS THE FIRST GIFT SOMEONE EVER GAVE YOU?

I really don't remember. A spank on the arse, probably.

20. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING?

Yeah, probably. I could probably still communicate with them via the internet anyway.

21. SAY A NUMBER FROM ONE TO A HUNDRED:

752

22. BLONDES, REDHEADS OR BRUNETTES?

Brunettes

23. WHAT IS ONE NUMBER YOU CALL OFTEN?

The pizza place in Beverly.

24. WHAT ANNOYS YOU MOST?

John Cena. And the fact that he's STILL HOLDING THE FUCKING TITLE. I mean, the crowds are ready to rip him apart, it's getting worst than Michaels near the end of his first title reign, and they're still letting him hold the belt. What makes me really sad is how many more talented people on Raw alone could hold that belt. Such as Edge, Chris Masters, Lance Cade and Lillian Garcia.

25. HAVE YOU EVER DONE A PRANK CALL?

I wanted to when I was younger, but I couldn't bear to be mean-spirited. So I merely called Chuck E. Cheese up, pretended to have lost a Red Sox hat and asked them if they found it. I'm so cool...

26. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU FILLED OUT THIS SURVEY?

Talking to Gary on MSN about Bond movies. Which I'm still doing now.

27. IF YOU COULD GET PLASTIC SURGERY, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

The works! Actually, if I had to choose one thing, I'd have them reshape my face.

28. WHY DID YOU FILL OUT THIS SURVEY?

I listed my reason above. That and it looks interesting, a rare find for LiveJournal surveys.

29. WHAT DO YOU LIKE ON YOUR PIZZA?

Double cheese.

30. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF ALCOHOL BECAME ILLEGAL?

Probably not much. I enjoy a good Rum and Coke or a nice cocktail on the weekend, but I don't live by them and I could easily do without.

31. WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?

I haven't decided yet. I'm definitely asking for the Bret Hart DVD and probably the Family Guy CD.

32. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF IT SUDDENLY STARTED RAINING BLOOD?

Make sure my window is closed, and carry on with what I was doing.

33. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?

My middle name, John, comes from my grandfather. I don't know where Christopher comes from. My mum probably needed a name in a pinch.

34. DO YOU WISH ON STARS?

No. The opposite always comes true.

35. WHICH FINGER[S] IS YOUR FAVORITE?

The index. It's fun to point with. Steve Austin really made the middle finger less fun to use.

36. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY?

About a year ago.

37. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?

Sometimes, when I make an effort to make it neat.

38. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?

I don't like lunch meat.

39. ANY BAD HABITS?

Loads. Picking my nose, biting my nails, stuttering, talking really fast, drooling in my sleep, having an occasional cigarette and swearing (although, to be fair, I don't really consider that a bad habit).

40. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?

God no. Actually, that's just my low self-esteem kicking in. I believe that if I changed a few things, I could be fairly likable, and that I'm not nearly as bad as I think I am. I'm not great, or even good, but there's room for improvement.

41. HAVE YOU EVER TOLD A SECRET YOU SWORE NOT TO TELL?

Probably.

42. DO LOOKS MATTER?

Not as much as they do to other people, but, for example, I wouldn't want to be involved with a lady that weighs 800 pounds, has three teeth, a mustache, snot dripping from her nose (and landing in her mustache) and wearing really tight fitting capri pants.

43. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER?

I usually complain about what's pissing me off online. I try not to be too annoying though. There's a saying I live by: "Nobody likes a whiny little bitch. Or a big one, for that matter."

44. WHERE IS YOUR SECOND HOME?

AC Moore. Of course.

45. DO YOU TRUST OTHERS EASILY?

I do more than I really should.

46. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY AS A CHILD?

Probably my action figures/McDonald's toys.

47. WHAT CLASS IN SCHOOL DO YOU THINK IS TOTALLY USELESS?

Most of them. Actually, probably gym. I know exercise is really important, but it seems designed to destroy self-esteem. Ever notice that films that have people being bullied in schools have at least one scene in a gym class?

48. DO YOU HAVE A JOURNAL?

No.

49. DO YOU USE SARCASM?

Yes, but I try to use it sparingly and when it is appropriate. I don't want to be like this one person I know, who says precisely the exact opposite of how he feels. I don't know if he's being sarcastic or if he's suffering from some rare, odd form of dyslexia.

50. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A MOSH PIT?

No. I don't get out of the house much.

51. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY/GIRL?

Well, I like people who are confident, funny, can have a good conversation, are positive, open-minded, don't really spend their time going off on useless deabtes, and don't take anything seriously. Including themselves.

52. WHAT ARE YOUR NICKNAMES?

King of Customer Service, The Register GOD!, The Great One, The Immortal Icon, The Phenom and the Pathological Liar.

53. Would you bungee jump?

Yes, but I'd have to have about thirty different people making sure I was harnessed in correctly.

54. Do you untie your shoelaces when you take off your shoes?

No, although they often untie themselves about eight times a day when I'm wearing them.

55. DO YOU THINK THAT YOU HAVE STRONG POINTS?

Yeah. Everyone does, for the most part. Actually, no, I know quite a few people who really have nothing much to offer.

56. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR?

Probably cookie dough. Or vanilla. As WWE announcer Steve Romero once titled one of his early '70s movies, "There's Always Vanilla."

57. What is your shoe size?

10 1/2

58. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE COLORS?

Black, silver, pink, purple and green.

59. HOW MANY WISDOM TEETH DO YOU HAVE?

I don't know.

60. WHO DO YOU MISS MOST RIGHT NOW?

I don't really miss anyone. If it was a person worth missing, I'd have kept in touch with them. Although there are a few people I really should IM one of these days...

61. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS?

Not if they want to.

62. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?

My James Bond CD. "A View to a Kill" by Duran Duran is playing.

63. LAST THING YOU ATE?

A bunch of Entemann's Cookies, a pack of M&Ms and some little Keebler gingerbread cookies. A healthy dinner in any land!

64. LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?

Probably a customer. Actually, yes, she was inquiring about cookie cutters. I was on the floor (a rare non-register moment), but I still fielded it to someone else.

65. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE IN THE OPPOSITE SEX?

Their hair. Or their facial features.

66. DO YOU LOVE THE PERSON WHO POSTED THIS?

Well, I don't really know her, but she seems like a very nice person.

67. HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

I'm alright. A bit tired, I need a shower, and I have to pee, but fine for the most part.

68. FAVORITE DRINK?

Coke.

69. FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK?

Rum & Coke. I also love Kahlua drinks and those Jack Daniels Wildberry Jack cocktails. And I really want to have another Smirnoff Ice one day.

70. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SPORT?

Pro wrestling. I don't like real sports at all, although baseball and hockey aren't that bad. Football (especially the American version) can fuck right off.

71. HAIR COLOR?

Dark brown

72. EYE COLOR?

Brown

73. DO YOU WEAR GLASSES?

Yes. I'm nearsighted, and I can't handle contacts.

74. SIBLINGS?

One brother, who recently turned thirty-five. He's quite happy knowing half his life is over.

75. FAVORITE MONTH?

Either November or December.

76. FAVORITE FOOD?

Pizza. I also enjoy chicken fingers and raviolis (though not together...although that might taste good).

77. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?

Casper. It seems like everytime I take one of these surveys and this question comes up, the last movie I've seen is a wussy, silly movie.

In all honesty, though, it really was quite good until the final half hour or so. Christina Ricci was excellent in it, and there were genuinelly sweet bits. It just turned to shit once they introduced the Lazarus Machine. And Casper's uncles were REALLY annoying. Just the voices... Urgh.

78. FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR?

My birthday. As Garfield The Cat said, it's nice to have the world revolve around you for an entire day.

79. ARE YOU TOO SHY TO ASK SOMEONE OUT?

Yes. It's really for the best that I don't.

80. SUMMER OR WINTER?

Winter

81. HUGS OR KISSES?

Hugs

And that's it. Good night, and good luck.
