(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 long hair.  (Longish.. anyway. I need to get it cut, actually.)
× I have lost money in Las Vegas.  (I've never been to Las Vegas)
× I have at least one sibling.  (My mother learned her lesson the first time, I guess.)

✓ I couldn't survive without Caller I.D.  (I would marry Caller ID if I could.)

× 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.))
✓ I am usually pessimistic.  (To be optimistic is to be unrealistic. I'm actually more of a curmudgeon. I'm perpetually cranky and cynical, but that's only because I'm constantly disappointed by the behavior of other people.)

× I have a lot of mood swings.
✓ I think prostitution should be legalized.  (I'd like to see clean, legal brothels in every state. Except Florida. I'm still upset about the 2000 election.)
× I slept with a roommate.

✓ I have a hidden talent.  (So hidden that I don't even know what it is.)

× I'm obsessed with my Xanga or Livejournal.  (*snort* I read LJ, and rarely ever post.)
× I'm completely embarrassed to be seen with my mother.  (I got over that when I was fifteen or so. My mother might be the slowest walker in the world, but she's far from embarassing.)

✓ I have a mobile phone.  (Erugh. I broke down and got one after a traffic accident made me 2 hours late for work one day. I hate them.)
× I have passed out drunk in the past 6 months.  (I've *never* passed out drunk.)
✓ I've rejected someone before.  (Starting with all the random older guys who used to flirt with me when I was underage..)

✓ I currently like/love someone.  (I'm not sure I would be human if I didn't currently 'like' someone.)
✓ I have no idea what I want to do for the rest of my life.  (Is that wrong at age 30?)

× I'm obsessed with guys.  (Bleh.)
× Democrat.
× Republican.

× I don't even know what I am.
× I am punk rockish.

✓ I have been intentionally hurt by people that I loved.
