Because I seriously have nothing better to do right now...
001. What is the best way to get over someone?
I wouldn't know. The one time I've had to, I handled it very, very poorly. So obviously some way other than that.
002. What makeup do you wear on a daily basis?
Who told you that? It's a lie! A lie!!! I wear no make-up on a daily basis, just on weekends. What do you think I am, some kind of wierdo?
003. Is your AIM/MSN away message on?
Away messages are for people too lazy to just turn their instant messenger off when they don't want to chat with people.
004. If you could eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
One of those all-you-can eat casino buffets with a hundred different things to choose from every time. Or is that not in the spirit of what you're trying to do here?
005. What curse word do you use the most?
Fuck. In fact not only do I use it more than any other curse word, I use it more than most regular words.
006. Do you own an iPod?
Nope. My $40 .mp3 player plays .mp3s just fine, so I don't know why I'd pay $500 extra for a shiny white one with no way to control which song comes next.
007. Who on your Myspace "top 8" do you talk to the most?
That'd be Sara.
008. What time is your alarm clock set for?
Usually 6 am right now. But knowing my bosses, they'll want me at work around that time starting the first of the month or so, so it'll be back to 4:30 again.
009. Have you ever bid for something on ebay?
Yep. Can't really expect to find a copy of Hero Quest any other way these days.
010. Do you wear flip-flops even when it’s cold outside?
What the hell? Is that some joke I'm not getting or something? A song lyric, maybe? What the hell kind of stupid-ass question is that? Of course I don't. The only time I wear flip-flops is in the shower, and even then, only in the shower on the ship, because I refuse to stand in other people's piss and who knows what else.
011. Where do you buy your groceries from?
The little store on base, though "groceries" is a little strong... mostly it's frozen pizzas and pudding cups and such.
012. Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?
Umm... take it, I guess.
013. What was the last movie you watched?
In a theater? X-Men 3. Otherwise, Casino. Unless you count the half-hour or so of Jurassic Park I caught on AMC earlier today.
014. Do any of your friends have children?
Yep. Most of them, even.
015. If you won the lottery, what's the first thing you would buy?
Two chicks at the same... wait, that doesn't work here.
In all seriousness, it would probably be this. And then a house.
016. Has anyone ever called you lazy?
All the time. Probably because I am.
017. Do you ever take medication to help you fall asleep faster?
Just last week, in fact. Two days on a Greyhound is hell, so being that I don't own a PSP, my best option for making it bearable was NyQuil. The coughing, sneezing, stuffy head, fever, how the hell did I end up on the bathroom floor medicine.
018. What CD is currently in your CD player?
CD player? A minute ago you were asking about iPods, now you assume I still use a CD player? Well, the closest thing I have is the CD-ROM drive on this computer, which currently contains the play disc for Civilization III.
019. Do you prefer regular or chocolate milk?
Chocolate all the way. Never liked regular milk for some reason.
020. Has anyone told you a secret this week?
No. But even if they had, I wouldn't admit it. So maybe. But no.
021. When was the last time someone hit on you?
It's been a long time, I guess. But I've been known to completely miss it when people are flirting with me, so for all I know, it was today and I was just totally oblivious to it.
022. What did you have for dinner last night?
A bowl of chili and some tortilla chips.
023. What is your biggest fear(s)?
Paris Hilton. Though it's not really a fear so much as just that I really don't want to run into her in a dark alley. Mostly because of what (or who) she'd probably be doing in that dark alley and what I might contract just from standing too close. So I suppose the answer is chlamydia.
024. What color is your car?
Blue? Grey? Sort of a blue-grey.
025. Can you whistle?
Only from my mouth.
026. What is your favorite Christmas/winter movie?
Kiss Saves Santa.
027. Do you make your own jewelry?
What? Jesus, I swear the thought processes that produce questions like this just boggle my mind.
028. Ever participated in a protest?
No, mostly I just bitch about stuff. But I never, like, have a sign or a sandwich board or anything.
029. Who was the last person to call you?
Sara. on the phone with her right now, in fact.
030. What is your favorite ride at an amusement park?
Probably some big metal roller coaster. My all-time favorite (The Demon at Paramount's Great America in California) killed a guy a couple of years back.
031. What is something you must do everyday?
Shave. Which is a total pain in the ass. Or rather, the face. It's only a pain in the ass when I shave my ass. Which is never. And now you all know that, and it's too late for you to go back and not read it.
032. Have you ever dated one of your best friends?
Yep. We ended up getting married and having two kids. Oddly enough, I also once became best friends with someone I used to date, but that didn't turn out nearly as well in the end.
033. What area code are you in right now?
361.
034. Did you watch cartoons as a child?
What the hell kind of stupid question is this? What person who grew up in a developed nation where there's electricity avaliable to power television sets didn't watch cartoons as a kid?
035. How big is your local mall?
There are a couple of fairly crappy malls in Corpus Christi, but the closest thing to a mall that I'd call "local" is Wal-Mart.
036. What is your job title?
Electronics Technician, Third Class, United States Navy, Esquire.
037. What do you miss most?
About what?
038. Would you ever sky dive?
Maybe.
039. What are you allergic to?
Penicillin and pretty much anything derived from it, and some additive that's sometimes (but not usually) used in chocolate milkshakes and soft-serve ice cream. Like, I can get a chocolate shake at McDonald's or Wendy's or Jack In the Box, but not at Burger King (though I can get another flavor there, just not chocolate).
040. What is your biggest regret?
It's fast becoming my decision to fill this thing out...
041. Have you ever had Jamba Juice?
Nope. Until they're willing to explain to me what the fuck a "jamba" is, there's no way I'm drinking its juice.
042. When was the last time you laughed so hard your sides hurt?
Been a while, actually. I've been bored lately.
043. What movies do you know every line to?
Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Mallrats, Spaceballs, and Wayne's World.
044. Do you own any band t-shirts?
Most of the t-shirts I own have a logo for some band or another on them.
045. What is your favorite candle scent?
What? Umm... burning wax?
046. How many aunts and uncles do you have?
9, if I'm not forgetting anyone. So just to be safe, let's say 11.
047. When was your last plane ride?
Last month, when I flew from Bahrain to Houston by way of Amsterdam. Real nice airport in Amsterdam, by the way.
048. Do you crack your knuckles?
Pretty much constantly.
049. How many chairs are at your dining room table?
My dining room table is in a shed behind my parents' house, but I think there are four. Currently I have a little counter in my kitchen with two bar stools, though.
050. What is your favorite salad dressing?
Salad? Are you mad?
051. Do you read for fun?
Yes, but too often it's magazines and not books. I really should do more reading reading.
052. Can you speak any languages other than English?
In a way that might realistically be capable of facilitating a conversation? No. But I've managed to pick up a few useful phrases here and there.
053. Where is your cell phone?
Right next to me, charging.
054. Do you do your own dishes?
That reminds me, I have to do the dishes tonight.
055. What color is your bedroom painted?
It's painted white, but the days of it actually being white have long since disappeared.
056. Are your parents divorced?
No, they've actually stayed married. Wierd, huh?
057. Have you ever cried in public?
Not that I can think of, though there were probably a few times when I was very, very young and mommy wouldn't buy me that candy bar...
058. Anyone you're talking to right now?
No, I'm typing. One thing at a time.
059. Which do you make: wishes or plans?
Both. but for some reason, neither one seems to work any better than the other.
060. Are you always trying to learn new things?
Not actively, but since I'm the type who actually enjoys watching the history channel or hitting the "random article" link on Wikipedia, it ends up happening anyway.
061. What messenger programs do you have?
Just AIM, though I barely ever use it. I did just get Skype, which sort of counts and is much much better than IMing anyway.
062. Do you shower on a daily basis?
Mostly, but there's always the occasional duty day where I'm not able to.
063. Are you currently wanting any piercings or tattoos?
I'll eventually get a tattoo, but I don't know what I want yet, so it will be a while. And after I'm done with the navy, I'll probably get my ear re-pierced.
064. Do you believe that the guy should pay on the first date?
Do I believe he should? Not really. But I understand it's kind of assumed and would have no problem being the one to pay if I were on a first date with someone. Ideally, I think he should pay for her and she should pay for him. Sort of an early-warning system that lets you know right away if you're dating a golddigger or a deadbeat.
065. Can you skip rocks?
Why would I want to do that? I know I'm complaining about being bored, but if I'm ever bored enough to find the answer to that question, it's time for me to just go ahead and drown myself in whatever body of water it is I'm attempting to skip rocks across.
066. Relationship status:
Married with two kids, currently separated, but mot like in a "we need some time apart" kind of way, just a "the military sent me to the Middle East so she went home rather than staying in Texas alone with the kids" kind of a way.
067. Have you ever been to Jamaica?
No. There was talk of my stopping there on the way back from some exercise in Panama in September, but now it's looking like we won't be going to that, so it looks like Jamaica will have to wait.
068. What do you like to snack on at the movie theatre?
Crappy movie theater nachos and a blue raspberry Icee. Sometimes candy, too: Sour Patch Kids, Red Vines or Junior Mints.
069. Who was your favorite teacher?
Mr. Holloway, my 7th and 8th grade band director. I can also think of at least four damn good teachers from my high school days.
070. Have you ever dated someone out of your race?
I've only ever really "dated" two people, and both were part white, part hispanic. So, yes and no.
071. What is the weather like?
Depends on the time and place, I suppose.
072. Would you ever date someone covered in tattoos?
No. A couple of tattoos on a woman are fine, but when they're completely covered, it just looks trashy and masculine. Neither of which is a quality I look for in a woman.
073. Do you have an online journal?
I'm slowly coming to the realization that these questions were generated by either a retarded person, or a third grade class.
074. Have you ever played Capture the Flag in school?
No, they wouldn't allow us to install Quake on the school's computers.
075. What were your favorite classes in high school?
Art, history... art history...
076. Do you sleep on your side, tummy, or back?
How would I know? While I'm sleeping I'm... asleep.
077. What personality trait/s is a must-have in the opposite sex?
The willingness to put up with my being such a goddamn geek.
078. Have you ever been attracted to someone physically?
Dumbest question ever.
079. When was the last time you slept on the floor?
A few months ago when myself and two friends chipped in together for a hotel room, mostly to get the hell off that ship for a night, but also because they had free wireless internet access. But with three of us and only two beds, someone had to volunteer to stay up for four hours later than everyone else and play City of Heroes until he finally passed out on the floor. And I bit the bullet and volunteered, because that's just the kind of guy I am.
080. What is your favorite alcoholic drink?
Mike's Hard Lime (the lemonade is good, too). Because in general, I hate beer.
081. If you were born the opposite sex, what would your name be?
My mom has actually told me this: had I been born female, my name would have been Nicole.
082. Do you like your living arrangement?
No. I want my family here with me. But at least the barracks room I'm in is better than living on the ship like I did for the last seven months or so.
083. Has anyone ever called you spoiled?
Probably.
084. What are your mother and father's hometowns?
Somewhere in the San Francisco bay area, but they both moved around a lot within that area.
085. Did you ever go to the same school as your parents?
No, my parents both graduated long before I came into the picture.
086. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?
I've been known to stumble though a day on none, as long as I have sweet, sweet Xenadrine to help me through the rough patches. Usually I can get by with about four, but if left to my own devices, I'll easily sleep for ten hours.
087. How much is gas where you live right now?
Couldn't really say, but I'd imagine it's hovering around three bucks, just like everywhere else.
088. What was the last thing to scare you?
Some of the people on that Greyhound trip were pretty creepy.
089. Do you own a Playstation?
Yep.
090. How many times have you brushed your teeth today?
Just once so far.
091. What have you eaten so far?
I'll assume you mean "so far today," because otherwise this would be a very long answer. Today I've had two french bread pizzas, a bowl of rotini pasta in cheese sauce, a can of Chef Boyardee overstuffed ravioli, and a bag of peanut M&Ms.
092. What album did you buy last?
"The Best of Coal Chamber" by, well, Coal Chamber.
093. How many pairs of shoes do you own?
Three, not counting my showertime flip-flops or the Stewie Griffin slippers Sara got me for Christmas.
094. Are your days full and fast-paced?
What?
095. Did you ever get in trouble for talking in class?
The only person alive who didn't get in trouble for that is the retarded kid who sat in the back and didn't talk at all. Goddammit, what's with the dumbass questions on this thing?
096. Is there carpet, wood, or tile in the room you're currently in?
Carpet.
097. Were you a "planned" child?
I make it a rule to know as little as possible about matters relating to my parents having sex, including my own conception.
098. What is your mom's name?
Patricia.
099. What is your dad's name?
Vance.
100. How old will you be turning on your next birthday?
26. Which is, so far, the oldest I've been.
