I am going to answer this survey because I think it's cool. I win.
YOUR NAME
(1) What is your name? Julia
(2) If you had been born a member of the opposite sex, what would your name have been? Rafferty (My dad is insane)
(3) Would you name a child of yours after you? No that is really unoriginal and that would get complicated.
(4) If you had to switch first names with a friend of yours, who would you switch with? No, all of my friends have regular names that aren't cool.
(5) What's the way people most often mispronounce any part of your name? My last name, all the freaking time. Shaw-vin, Cha-vin.
(6) If you were to become famous, would you drop your last name (like Madonna, Cher, Roseanne)? Praytell why? Just become Julia? No, my last name is quite ironic.
DEEP THEOLOGICAL QUESTIONS
(7) Do you believe in the traditional view of Heaven and Hell? No, I don't really. It would be interesting if they did exist, though. There are so many different views on the subject of Heaven and Hell, I mean, it is really interesting. I am an agnostic by the way.
(8) Do you think God has a gender? No that would be pointless. If there is a God and if, in fact, she/he (I just blew your mind didn't I) created people and created them equally it would be stupid to suggest that one is in the semblance of the "creator" and the other its mate. If you are all powerful why make it segregated?
(9) Do you think science counteracts religion? Sort of. In somethings science completely overrides Biblical terms, but if you tweak it a little bit and interepret it can be changed. Take, for example, the creation of the universe. Science believes it to be the Big Bang while (I am using Christianity as an example)others think that "God" created the universe. Perhaps "God" created the Big Bang. You don't know.
(10) Do you believe in organized religion? Not personally. But I believe that some people need faith to stay strong or stay alive and I don't mind it at all, unless they are trying to shove it down my throat but that is normally just a person not an entire religion. *coughSpanishInquisitioncough* Also, some very good things get done through the church that might not get done (feeding the homeless, clothing donations, etc.) otherwise.
(11) Where do you think we go when we die? I will die eventually and when I do I will let you know. It is just another unsolved mystery.
(12) Do you feel a little funny thinking about the questions in this section? Nope I think about them all the time. Agnosticism rocks.
HUMOR
(13) How easy is it to make you laugh? If I am talking to someone or listening to someone it is extremely easy. If I am reading it is a bit harder.
(14) What person you know makes you laugh the most? I have absolutely no idea.
(15) Do you laugh at jokes you know you shouldn't? Sadly
(16) Do you tell jokes you know you shouldn't? Unfortunately
(17) What words instantly make you laugh or at least smile? BAD WORDS! Just kidding...I dunno.
(18) What do you think is the funniest thing you've ever said or written? How am I supposed to remember that? Exactly who is special enough to remember the funniest thing that they have ever written or said?
MUSIC
(19) Do you ever dance to music when nobody's watching? Absolutely
(20) What is/are the worst song(s) you have ever heard? Horribly done cover songs. "She Bangs" by either Ricky Martin or William Hung, "Invisible" by Clay Aiken...a bunch of other stuff that makes me want to stab myself in the eye. Mostly pop, preppy shit from the nineties. For example: Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Boy Bands...stuff like that.
(21) What song(s) do you wish you could understand a little better? Sometimes I don't understand a word Bob Dylan says.
(22) What song(s) are constantly in your head? Whatever's on the playlist that stays in my head. Recently: Jump Little Children, various songs. "45" by Shinedown and "Beautiful Ways" by The Pat McGee Band.
23) What song(s) do you think describe your personality best? How the hell am I supposed to know that?
(24) If you were to serenade the object of your affections, which song(s) would you use? Why would I do that? This imaginary person would run in the other direction, quickly. If I had to choose I would choose: "Rape Me" by Nirvana-I am just kidding. Probably "Here With Me" by Dido or something equally sappy.But I would probably sing their favorite song!-smart idea? I think so.
(25) If the object of your affections were to serenade you, what song(s) would you hope he or she used? "Konstantine" by Something Corporate, it is 9:30 minutes long and just about none of it repeats. I would be very impressed. I would also be very shocked by how strange this person is then I would hope they had a good voice. I would really think that if they sang something I have never heard before it would be really cool.
MOVIES
(26) What movie(s) do you love that nobody else seems to? Spirited Away, (nobody else means the people I know, because most of these were nominated for Oscars or something)The Hours, The Girl With a Pearl Earring.
(27) Do you agree with the idea that sequels are always worse than the original? Sometimes. It depends a great deal on the screenwriter and the director. Spidey 2 was better than Spidey 1, but Scream 1 was better than Scream 2
(28) Who's your favorite Star Wars character? YO-DA MAN and the Ewoks are awesome.
(29) What kind of movie do you think there should be more of? Movies that mean something. Movies that leave messages and touch your soul.
(30) What movie(s) do you simply not understand the appeal of? Stupid movies with no plot.
FOOD
(31) When eating, are you more concerned with taste or healthiness? TASTE! Chocolate is not my favorite food for nothing.
(32) What's your favorite kind of cheese? This is hard. Probably Provolone.
(33) What do you think your answer to the previous question reveals about your personality? I like to get fat but I am not simple? I could probably pull something out of my ass that made some kind of sense but I don't want to.
(34) If you knew exactly what went into Chinese food, hamburger meat, etc., would you still eat it? If I knew exactly what when in it and the process I probably would put off meat for about a week and then it would turn into a horrible dream and I would eat meat again.
(35) Do you ever feel guilty eating meat? Sometimes. But I mostly eat chickens. Have you ever met a chicken? They couldn't survive in the wild, they can barely survive in their pens, they are breed for our consumption (I apologize to those vegetarians/vegans/PETA members). They are a stupid animal.
COMPUTERS
(36) Mac or PC? PC. I am aware that nothing is compatible with Mac.
(37) How much do you actually care about the inner workings of your computer, as long as it works? I really am not caring as long as it works. I have friends who are way more into it than I am. I just want to learn how to code, but I don't care enough so it is a moot point.
(38) Do you ever begin preferring IMs to other forms of conversation? With some people, it's easier. I've always been better at expressing myself in written form.
(39) Do you find you're different talking through IMs than face-to-face or on the telephone? Yes. On IM I say what I would say in my head. On the phone I think about it a little bit. In person I think about it a little bit more.It doesn't stop me from saying stupid things, though. You can also delete on IM.
(40) Have you ever ended bid on something on eBay and regretted it later? Well have I ever bidded on Ebay? Ooooohhhh answer that!
THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES
(41) Have you ever wished you could experience being the other gender? Sometimes. Normally it happens about once a month...(if you can't figure it out from here, you a little stupid) Also when guys do things that I don't understand and I really want to know why, that would be another time.
(42) What do you love most about the other gender? They are more up front about everything. They tell you if they hate you or you can tell. They are also a little bit simpler, emotionally.
(43) What do you dislike most about the other gender? The stupidity that comes in testosterone.
(44) What do you understand least about the other gender? Why they enjoy being violent (I know not every male does). I don't understand a lot of things about either gender.
CELEBRITIES
(45) Do you sometimes see a movie or watch a show just because a good-looking celebrity is in it? I am guilty. I am sorry, I have regular TV there was nothing else good on anyway.
(46) What celebrity's autograph do you want most? Ummm...which one can I sell for the most money on Ebay?
(47) Have people ever said you looked like a celebrity, and if so, who? I get told I look like Halle Berry all the time! Just in case you did not catch the sarcasm, I wasn't being serious. I got told a couple of time I look like Ellen Degeneres, but I think it is because we both have short hair and some people think I am a lesbian.
(48) If there was to be a movie about you, who do you think should play you (in personality, looks or both)? Why on earth would there be a movie about me? I really don't care because if a movie gets made about me I would probably be dead, therefore I would not care.
(49) Does it ever annoy you when you know someone is a celebrity but you can't remember why? Yes, I like to know EVERYTHING, and I don't.
(50) If you could enter any celebrity's mind like in "Being John Malkovich", whose would you enter? OJ Simpson to see if he really did kill his wife! I don't want to be in anyone's head but my own, thank you very much. Mine is confusing enough as it is. Actually, I think it would be really cool to go into Daffy Ducks brain, but that's a little impossible.
(51) Do you want to be John Malkovich? No, *looks slanty-eyed at computer* are you saying I could be?
NUMBERS
(52) Do you laugh when you hear or read the number 69? It depends where I read it, when I read it and what mood I am in. If I am hyper, everything makes me laugh.
(53) Were you lying about your answer to the previous question? No, why would I do that? It is a survey, why would I need to lie? Are you accusing me of something?
(54) Do you actually know your Social Security Number? Yes I do 240-...oh you thought I was actually going to do it...stupid.
(55) Do you actually know your IP address? NOPE
(56) Do you know what an IP address is? I have a vague idea.
(57) Do you know the four-character extension on your ZIP code? I will very soon...9438, now I know.
(58) Ever thought there were too many numbers floating around in our lives? Now I do, and I think so. Our lives are ruled by numbers, but I know why. Brain...thinking....
(59) Does your head begin to hurt when you think of infinity, imaginary numbers, irrational numbers, etc.? It doesn't actually hurt. Infinity really just blows me away. Imaginary numbers and irrational numbers don't do anything for me. I could never find them out for myself but the concept is basically understood.
(60) What do you think of pi? I like pie *drool*. I think it is actually very cool. I mean a constant stream of numbers that never stops (so far) that baffles the mind. It is quite cool. I just said math is cool...THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!
LOVE, SEX AND ALL THAT
(61) Did you get a little frightened or uncomfortable seeing this as a section title? Not really, I did realize that I may nit be able to answer some questions, though.
(62) If someone you had no interest in dating expressed interest in dating you, how would you feel? Interested (not in the person, but what they were thinking) and confused (because of what they were thinking)
(63) Do you prefer getting to know someone first before dating them or going in "blind"? I am sure that I would very much prefer to know someone before I date them. Yes I would probably like to know them.
(64) Could you carry on a relationship with someone with the same first name as a family member? It would be odd...but there is only one male in my family and it is a fairly common name, so I don't care.
(65) Have you ever wished it was more "socially acceptable" for a girl to ask a guy out? It is socially acceptable...or at least it will be. I am not that outgoing of a person in myself but the concept is something I completely accept. However, males tend to have egos, so if a girl was to ask a guy out she would have to drop "not so subtle" hints that she would like to go somewhere.
(66) What's your opinion on sex without emotional commitment? I don't really get it. I mean I understand the fact that sometimes people need companionship and/or pleasure but for one you get a dog and for the other a vibrator or lotion (depends on your gender).
(67) Have you ever been romantically attracted to someone physically unattractive? Depends on your point of view doesn't it. I know a few people who think some people are attractive who I really just don't and probably the other way around.
(68) Do you think the opposite sex finds you good-looking? Nope. I am not one of those people you would call "pretty" or "feminine" really.
(69) Would you be willing to give up sex in exchange for an emotional commitment you knew would last? Yes, considering I have nothing to give up, besides emotional commitments last lifetimes (memories and such) sex lasts for a few minutes (I know it depends).
(70) Do you think the number of the last question was a coincidence? Now that you mention it, probably not. Oh look, wouldn't you know I didn't laugh or giggle or whatever.
POSSESSIONS
(71) What is your favorite possession? Only one thing? hmmm...My Duck Tape. I can make anything out of it.
(72) What physical, tangible possession do you want most? I don't have a freakin' clue. Maybe an MP3 player.
(73) How badly do you want it? not much, I have what I need.
(74) Have you ever seen 'The Exorcist'? Never, fully.
(75) How long did it take you to understand why the last question is in this section? As soon as I finished this question.
HOLIDAYS
(76) Does Christmas music too far away from Christmas annoy you? Not really. My favorite Christmas song is by the Transiberian Orchestra.
(77) How old do you think you will be before you stop liking getting older? As soon as I hit twenty-one because by then I have all my rights. I really hope it never happens but I am sure it will.
(78) What was the best Halloween costume you ever had? Ninja, that was cool.
(79) What was the worst Halloween costume you ever had? I really dumb burglar (I wore regular clothes and a ski-cap), I am not all that big on dressing up for Halloween (I did get candy)
(80) What holiday do you think has still managed to retain its original meaning? Which holiday has not been merchandised to death?
(81) There are currently no federal holidays during August- what should be put there? Something that can't be chewed up and spit out by gigantic companies for it to completely lose its meaning in ten years.
MEMORIES
(82) How good is your short-term memory? Worse than I want it to be.
(83) How good is your long-term memory? Selective, but I don't choose what it rememebers.
(84) What is your earliest memory? I remember the setting of the living room in my house when I was crawling on the floor (I don't know how old I was)
(85) What is your happiest memory? Christmas, when I was younger. I think...I don't know.
(86) What is your strangest memory? I was in preschool and I was really bored so I rubbed my forehead against the carpet, repeatedly. It left this big scab.
(87) What song, movie, etc. do you wish you could memorize? I wish I could memorize Konstantine, but I will get there.
TEARS
(88) What movie makes/made you cry? I only cry during movies, really, so I think the most recent one was...bah I don't remember, oh well.
(89) What book makes/made you cry? Well there was this book by T.A. Barron that made me cry when a dragon died, it was sad. I don't remember any others, I am sure there are some.
(90) What song makes/made you cry? I haven't had a lot of songs. Songs mixed with actions in a movie screw me up, but songs by themselves don't make me cry.
(91) What makes/made you laugh so hard you cried? Well, I was being attacked one day. It was tickling. I almost died. There was this other time, but I don't remember what happened, Dan was there.
THREE TRULY RANDOM QUESTIONS
(92) Would you like to be cloned? No, I don't think a genetic copy of me is necessary. Besides, she could ruin my good name.
(93) Do you wish you could be alive when the world was ending, just to experience it? Not really. I think it would be cool to watch.
(94) Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the fandango? thunderbolts and lightening, very very frightening me, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Figaro Magnifico, I'm Just a poor boy, nobody loves me. He's just a poor boy from a poor family. Spare him his life from this monstrosity. I am stopping now. AWESOME SONG!
THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
(95) When was the last time you let the people you love know you love them? Recently, I don't remember exactly.
(96) What do you want the people who are reading this survey to know? BE YOURSELF! Duck Tape is AWESOME and Peace+Happiness+Change+Equality+Difference=Acceptance and the world as it should be.

2. What's your favorite outfit that you currently own? Outfit? Khaki shorts with my kick ass softball belt and my Alcatraz T-shirt. Very comfy. In the summer that is what it is.

DO YOU WISH ON STARS? On a whim. Sometimes I just want to wish.
WHICH FINGER IS YOUR FAVORITE? My thumb, because some people argue it is not actually a finger, but it is very useful, it makes us better than monkeys.
WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY? I don't know. I don't keep a record of it. It doesn't happen all that often, I guess.
DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? I do, but no one else likes it because they can't read it. Some people say this just because they think they have bad hand writing. I say this because it is true. I have gotten 70's back on assignments because the teacher could not read my brilliant prose.

ANY BAD HABITS? biting my nails, picking at scabs
WHAT IS YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING CD ON THE SHELF? I do not have a shelf and I think that it is...A-Teens. It is burnt. It has Abba on it, which makes it better, but the fact that I have one is painful.
IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOURSELF? Possibly, but if I were another person I don't know if I would be nice to myself or if my new self was different than my old self. I think that I might be my friend. We have the same interests.
ARE YOU A DAREDEVIL? Not at all. I am way too rational to act stupid. It sucks sometimes, most times I like it, though.
HAVE YOU EVER TOLD A SECRET YOU SWORE NOT TO TELL? I am pretty sure. I won't do it again, though.
DO LOOKS MATTER? They shouldn't. But in this society they do. You are generally attracted to people who look good. Your first impression of someone is always of what they look like and what they are wearing. Unless you are blind it is impossible not to.
HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER? Listening to music. Writing helps a lot.
WHERE IS YOUR SECOND HOME? Softball field
DO YOU TRUST OTHERS EASILY? No. I don't trust anyone completely but myself. I do trust other people a little often. I really just don't give anyone all of my trust.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY AS A CHILD? Legos!
WHAT CLASS IN SCHOOL DO YOU THINK IS TOTALLY USELESS? None of them is "totally" useless. But you will have to use history the least in real life.

DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? not often.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR? Mint Chocolate Chunk
SHOE SIZE? Womens: 9+1/2 Mens:8-8+1/2

WHAT BOOKS ARE YOU READING? The Great Gatsby (for school)
Holy crap I am done! That took a very long time! A really, really, long time. Oh well. I got back from a softball tournament and we won 2 lost 2. I played like shit but that is nothing new. Niki played very well and she is two years younger than I am and she is better than me. It sucks. I will live, hopefully. The team did better than we normally do, we normally lose everything. I need to step up my game. I need to stop fucking up and hit the ball well. I am off to rot my brain some more with the television. Wheeeeeeeeeee! Have fun doing whatever!
