12. Think any of your ex's feel the same?
yes
13. Do you believe that you are a good boyfriend or girlfriend?:
With the right person, yes. I'm only recently figuring out what kind of person that is. Better late than never I guess. Seems other people knew long ago.
14. Have you dated someone who was not good to you?:
(I hope he dies too Amanda) Um, let's see. There's one I never officially dated that was absolutely horrible for me. There's one I didn't really date that I thought was going to get me killed. There was the time I fell for my roomate's girlfriend, that ended badly all around. Actually dated that was bad for me? Not intentionally, she meant well.

If what you felt was real. It's particularly hard when you don't understand or agree with the reasons you aren't together.

6. Do you like it when people bring you balloons?
Nobody brings me balloons :( I have this huge crush on this girl which is long distance. I think she would bring me balloons. She's said a few times in the past couple weeks that I should have balloons. Right now I'm secretly fearing that she has forgotten my birthday though.
7. What kind of cards do you like, sappy or funny?
funny from most people, sappy from that special someone.
8. Have you ever had a surprise party?
yes, when I was about 4. My sister threw it for me. My sister's pretty great. She was the first one to send me an e-card this year.
8b Do you want one?
Hmm, yes. I don't really expect one though, because I don't even tell most people when my birthday is.
9. Where would your dream birthday party take place?
At the moment, sweden. Hehe. Um, but really I wouldn't care.
10. What do you want for your birthday?
Anything from her would make me wildly happy. If it has to be a "thing" um, the new Pro Evo soccer game for PS2. I'd be happier though if someone just baked me cookies or something.
11. Do you like getting any of the following as gifts?
jewlery: no. i need a new watch, but i'll buy it myself.
cd's: hmm, if someone bought me a cd i actually liked, i would think that was super cool.
dvd's: same as above really.

books: yes
perfume: no
flowers: hmm, from her i'd like it.
candy: yes pls, kthx
money: not really. i feel bad, but for money to actually mean much to me, it'd have to be a ridiculous amount. i'd rather just have the aforementioned cookies.
12. What was the best gift you've ever recived?
um, both were christmas gifts. when i was about 12 my mom and i spent the winter in a cold ass trailer on a golf course. that winter she bought me a box of mandarin oranges and a pair of shoes she really couldn't afford. that was my best christmas ever. i was also pretty wowed when she bought me a nintendo when i was like 13.
13. What was the worst gift?
hmm. one year my dad bought me a pair of sweat pants. it was the same year he got a whole bunch of presents for my step-brothers, including an atari and a bunch of games and stuff. felt like a big slap in the face. or however you think of those things when you're 8 or 9.

hmm, traditional cake probably german chocolate. my favorite "cake" is probably cheesecake.
18. If there was a picture on the cake what would you want it to be of?
hmmm... i find this question intriguing. something nerdy like a g.i. joe or transformer symbol would make me laugh. a man united logo would make me smile. i guess anything that meant something to me would be well received.
19. if you could invite one celebrity to your birthday party and they would come, who would it be?
Bruce Campbell maybe? I can think of lots of people for different reasons.
20. Do you prefer store bought or homemade gifts?
I don't really have a preference. I'd prefer a gift that had some thought put into it, so handmade sort of gets an edge. But if someone bought me something that meant something to me, that'd be great.
21. Do you hate it when presents are wrapped in newspaper?
So don't care.
22. Do you like it when the waiter sings happy birthday?

I think I'm bad at birthdays. I should change that.
24. What's the coolest thing someone has done for yours?
My sister and her friend Renee threw that party for me when I turned 4. On my 30th birthday my brother sent me a really nice pocket knife and called me. My parents didn't even call. So the gift was pretty special.
25. What do you think you will wish for when you blow out the candles?
