Are you saving yourself for marriage?:
No. And I'm not on board with this "saving yourself" BS. Not the choice of remaining a virgin, but the concept that your worth is somehow tied up with this somewhat arbitrary act.
Have you cried today?:
No.
What's your favorite physical thing about the opposite sex?:
Um. The naughty bits?
What's your favorite non-physical thing about the opposite sex?
When they smell clean and washed. A combination of fresh laundry and yummy deodorant. Anything else is usually overboard.
What's your favorite type of soda?:
Faygo Peach!
Where are most of your clothes from?:
Target.
What is usually the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?:
Grunt and hit "snooze."
What is usually the last thing you do before you go to bed at night?:
Take out my contacts/brush my teeth.

No one I know personally.
What's one state you want to go to that you haven't been to already?:
Oregon.
Do you honestly care about what other people think about you?:
Sure, but mostly with regard to substantive stuff. I don't mind wearing pajamas to go grocery shopping, or wearing a towel on my head when I grab something from my car in the morning.
Do people ever spell your name wrong?:
If they do, they usually leave out an "o."
Do people ever think you're older/younger than you actually are?:
Yeah. It used to be that I was thought of as older, but now people often think I'm still in college. I think after a certain age it's really hard to tell how old someone is, until they're in their late 40s.
Do you like potato chips?
Yep.
Do you think that jeans or sweatpants are more comfortable?:
I'm going to have to go with the sweatpants.

Just about every day.
Do you have a secret that no one knows except for you?:
I'm sure.

Generally, yes.

No.

Nope.

What's the latest you've ever woken up?:
Early afternoon.
What's the latest you've ever gone to bed?:
6-ish? 7-ish? In NYC the bars are open til 4 and many places are open late for the pre-hangover crowd.
What do you usually eat for breakfast?:
Puffed wheat cereal and coffee.
Do you usually eat three meals a day?
Sort of, yeah. Breakfast and lunch are sort of spread throughout the day, but there is usually a separate dinner.

As much as the next person.

What is your favorite board game?:
I'm actually not a huge fan of board games, but I guess I'd say Scrabble.

Yep

Yes

Do you chew on your pens?:
No.

Not obsessed, no.

April of last year.
If you could speak any language other than English, what would it be?:
I wish I could completely master French.
Do you have a curfew?:
Never had one.
Do name brands really matter to you?:
No.
Do you use iTunes?:
Nope.
What's the last thing that annoyed you?:
I finally was first in line at Dunkin Donuts and realized I forgot my DD mug in my car. Of course, I have to save the planet from styrofoam, so I went back out to my car to get it. Waited some more. Got my coffee... then walked out without my punch card (someone kindly yelled to me in the parking lot), so I went back in to get my punch card, then was teased by the old men regulars about how bad I would be when I get to be their age. When I got to work I realized I'd forgotten my keycard. Fortunately I was able to walk in with someone else, but I was still mad at myself.
Are you flexible?:
Much more than I used to be, thanks to yoga.
Would you ever join the army?:
Maybe... if it were peacetime and I absolutely couldn't get a college education otherwise.
