Click here to post your own answers for this meme.)
✓ I miss somebody right now. (Many people, actually. Most of them dead.)
✓ I don't watch much TV these days. (When I do watch TV, it's always the same shows I've always watched. Although I am a compulsive Food Network watcher.)
✓ I own lots of books. (Unfortunately I don't own nearly enough, and most of the ones I do own are in Connecticut.)
✓ I wear glasses or contact lenses. (Right now I have *very* librarian glasses.)
✓ I love to play video games. (I probably shouldn't.. but I do. Not that I really have time for that.)
✓ I've tried marijuana. (Heh.)
✓ I've watched porn movies. (Details not necessary, some better than others, still baffled as to exactly what purpose these serve. I've always wanted to have a tv show along the lines for MST3K, - only for really bad porn.)
× I have been the psycho-ex in a past relationship. (Um. No.)
✓ I believe honesty is usually the best policy. (I used to be a good liar when I was very little, and somehow I evolved into honest to the point of rude. Surprisingly enough, this doesn't always help me at work.)
✓ I curse sometimes. (Sometimes I think I should enter a program.)
× I have changed a lot mentally over the last year. (I usually 'change mentally' every six years or so. I'm sort of overdue right now.)
× I carry my knife/razor everywhere with me. (I really should get a knife. I'm constantly needing to open boxes and end up using my keys.)
* * * * *
× I have broken someone's bones. (Although sometimes I fantasize about it at work...)
✓ I have a secret that I am ashamed to reveal. (Um. Don't we often keep secrets because we're ashamed to reveal them?)
× I hate the rain. (I don't want to know what kind of person would answer this affirmatively.)
✓ I'm paranoid at times. (But that has nothing to do with trying marijuana, I swear.)
× I would get plastic surgery if it were 100% safe, free of cost, and scar-free. (No. Let Michael Jackson and Melanie Griffith be a lesson to us all.)
✓ I need/want money right now. (I always need money. I'm another one of the faceless working poor.)
× I love sushi. (I don't love it. I don't hate it. It tastes better with Kirin beer.)
× I talk really, really fast.
× I have fresh breath in the morning. (What an odd question. Oral bacteria reproducing like mad overnight give you morning breath. Everyone has these bacteria, so I challenge anyone who answers yes to this one.)

× I have lied to a good friend in the last 6 months. (Please refer to the statement on honesty. (Unless little white lies count. I told a co-worker she looked nice in a skirt when she didn't.. but she asked me point blank if she looked good. I think we lie reflexively in those situations.))
