Everybody's doing it
1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS: HOW DID YOU GET IT?
I cracked my head open on a big rock when I was little once, right above my right eye. It's been a while and the scar has slowly faded, so it's barely visible now. I had a pretty awesome scar there for a while, though.
2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
I don't have any art on my walls yet, which has been bothering me lately. I have stuff that I need to frame...maybe I should do that soon.
3. DO YOU SNORE, GRIND YOUR TEETH, OR TALK IN YOUR SLEEP?
I've been told I snore sometimes, but I can't really comment on that myself. I wouldn't be surprised if I talk in my sleep, either.
4. WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO?
I like all sorts of stuff. I tend to hop around from genre to genre, but I always seem to come back to dancey, electronic stuff.
5. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?
11:57pm on June 15th
6. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?
Working long hours from home every day has made feel like a hermit, lately. I wish I had some quick, easy way to connect with people that wasn't internet-based.
7. WHAT DO YOU MISS?
Seeing all of the East Coast peoples in person :[
8. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION(S)?
Hmmmm...That's tough. While I enjoy having stuff just for the sake of having it, I'm not really all that sentimental when it comes to random, physical objects. It's a bit of a cop-out answer, but I love music and my ipod is almost always with me, no matter where I am...so maybe that?
9. HOW TALL ARE YOU?
5'11" maybe?
10. DO YOU GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC?
Nah, I used to really enjoy sneaking into small, closed spaces when I was little...hiding in kitchen cabinets and stuff. I don't do that anymore, of course, but the idea has ever bothered me.
11. DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DARK?
When I was little, sure, but not now.
12. THE LAST PERSON TO MAKE YOU CRY?
Jeez, I have no idea. I'm not really a big crier. Some bad stuff happened right around my last year in high school/first year in college, so it was probably around then.
13. WHAT ARE YOUR INITIALS?
NKJ
14. LIKE MUSIC?
Of course! Always!
15. MOST LISTENED TO BAND?
iTunes says it's M83, but that's only because I like to listen to Sigur Ros and M83 while I work. I like M83 a lot but I don't know if they're my favorite band.
16. COFFEE OR ENERGY DRINK?
I drink TONS of Mountain Dew. :\
17. FAVORITE PIZZA TOPPING?
Feta and artichoke hearts! :d
18. IF YOU COULD EAT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Miso salmon! Mmmmmmm...
19. ??
Correct!
20. HAVE YOU EVER EATEN A GOLDFISH?
Whaaaat?
21. WHAT WAS THE FIRST MEANINGFUL GIFT YOU'VE EVER RECEIVED?
Oh christ, I don't know... I would guess that it was either something musical, or some sort of art supply, when I was really little. My parents were always big on giving us tools to create stuff with.
22. DO YOU LIKE ANYBODY?
Sure, I like some people. Not ALL people, but some. :)
23. ARE YOU DOUBLE JOINTED?
I suppose? Is there a de facto test for this sort of thing?
24. FAVORITE CLOTHING BRAND?
I'm not really fashionable enough to have a favorite clothing brand. I like comfortable clothes that (hopefully) don't make me look ridiculous...so I guess, any brand that makes that sort of stuff?
26. DO YOU HAVE A PET?
There is a cat here! She spends the better part of each day stalking me around the house, finding new hiding places, and then jumping out and attacking me.
27. WHAT KIND IS IT?
A smart, grey-ish cat with an appetite for blood.
28. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING?
Sure. I don't think you can really choose who you will love and who you won't though...can you? For me, it either happens or it doesn't, it's not really something that I can turn on or off depending on circumstances.
29. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TELL SOMEONE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU:
Eeew, I am the WRONG person to ask. I'm pretty awesome at bottling up my feelings.
30. SAY A NUMBER FROM ONE TO A HUNDRED:
Okay.
31. BLONDES OR BRUNETTES??
Both are nice (Brunettes).
32. WHAT IS THE ONE NUMBER YOU CALL MOST OFTEN?
The main conference-call number for work with their STUPID LIGHT-JAZZ HOLD MUSIC. >:[
33. WHAT ANNOYS YOU MOST?
Aggressively stupid people, and people who don't drive well.
34. HAVE YOU BEEN OUT OF THE USA?
I've been to Germany to visit relatives.
35. YOUR WEAKNESSES?
Oh, where to start? My self-esteem is not where it probably should be. It's hard for me to finish things, especially creative projects, because I find it really hard to see how what I'm working on could possibly be of any value to anyone, and I just sort of stop and give up on it. Also, chronic migraines.
36. MET ANYONE FAMOUS?
A few people, here and there, but nobody super-famous. I ran into Lewis Black while shopping for shirts at a Macy's in DC, but I don't know if that really counts as "meeting" him.
37. FIRST JOB?
I worked in a greenhouse in Richmond, VA, handling the money and doing office-y things for about 5 or 6 years.
38. EVER DONE A PRANK CALL?
OF COURSE NOT, WHAT A SILLY QUESTION.
41. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU FILLED THIS OUT?
Helping to teach other people to teach, for work.
40. HAVE YOU EVER HAD SURGERY?
I've had batteries of tests run, and been to the ER before, but I don't know that I've ever really had surgery, aside from getting my head stitched back up after the fall I mentioned in the first question.
42. WHAT DO YOU GET COMPLIMENTED ABOUT MOST?
I dunno, really...sometimes people like the dumb jokes I make and they tell me.
43. HAVE YOU EVER HAD BRACES?
Nopes
44. WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?
I usually don't ask for much on my birthday. When I was a kid I'd ask for toys but these days, if there's something that I really want, I just save up and buy it for myself. That said, a spiffy laptop would be nice. I've been eyeballing those new(ish) macbooks.
45. HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT?
Kids aren't big on my agenda these days. I'm not opposed to the idea or anything, but I haven't been in anything resembling a relationship in a really looooong time. After a while you just stop thinking about it, I guess.
46. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Not that I'm aware of...
47. DO YOU WISH ON STARS?
Nah
49. WHAT KIND OF SHAMPOO DO YOU USE?
T-gel. It contains Coal-tar gel. Mmmmmm, Coal-tar gel!
50. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
It could be worse, I guess, but not MUCH worse. I'm not overly fond of my handwriting. My attempts at cursive are totally illegible, so I don't even go there, unless I have to sign something.
51. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Turkey, I suppose
52. ANY BAD HABITS?
Hah! Of course! Who doesn't have bad habits?
53. WHAT CD ARE YOU MOST EMBARRASSED TO HAVE ON YOUR SHELF?
The smart-ish answer is "I'm never embarrassed to enjoy music and have a good time" or something like that. Really, though, I got rid of all of my really embarrassing stuff before my most recent move. :D
54. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
Honestly, I'm so shy around new people that it would be kind of tough for me to get to know myself. If I were around me a lot, and I had time to open up to me a bit, then sure. ...does that make sense?
56. DO LOOKS MATTER?
Looks aren't super-important. It's more an intelligence/attitude thing for me, at least. Looks are nice, though.
57. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER?
Sometimes I don't, which isn't really all that healthy I guess. I have secret, emergencies supplies of anger that I keep stored away. Angry music helps sometimes though, in some small but significant way.
58. WHERE IS YOUR SECOND HOME?
I only have the one, physically speaking
60. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY AS A CHILD?
It changed every 5 minutes, I'm sure.
61. HOW MANY NUMBERS ARE IN YOUR CELL PHONE?
Not many, I just finished cleaning out all of the numbers that I don't need any more (old numbers for work, the pizza place that I no longer live close enough to for delivery, etc.)
62. WERE YOU A FAN OF BARNEY AS A LITTLE KID?
I was already growed-up by then, and it was popular to hate Barney
63. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
NEVER.
64. MASHED POTATOES OR MACARONI AND CHEESE?
Why should I have to choose one over the other? If I REALLY have to choose, it'd be Mac-n-cheese.
65. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY/GIRL?
I look for girls who are smart and who share at least SOME of my interests. I usually fall for witty ladies who are single, creative, and love music. At least that's been the trend in the past. :P
66. WHAT ARE YOUR NICKNAMES?
I could probably dig up a few if I really tried. Really, though, everyone just calls me Nick.
67. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE BAND/SINGER?
That's a mean question. I could never choose, there's too much good stuff.
68. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOWS?
I haven't been watching a lot of TV lately. I've been digging Dexter, Heroes, Fringe and House, though.
69. pshsss
alright
70. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR?
I like chocolate-chip cookie dough.
71. DO YOU HAVE ALL YOUR FINGERS AND TOES?
I do indeed
72. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WORKED OUT?
Haha! It's been a while, to say the least. I used to be a pretty decent swimmer, actually, but that was a pretty long time ago.
73. PLANS FOR TONIGHT?
I will read for a bit, and probably continue to explore the capital wasteland in Fallout 3. I may start on another podcast episode...?
74. WHAT'S THE FASTEST YOU HAVE GONE IN A CAR?
Not very fast. I'm boring, I usually stick to the speed limits. Strangely enough, being in a car that has flipped over and landed on the roof has sucked the fun out of stuff like that, for me.
75. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS?
Sure, I'd like to see other peoples' answers.
76. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO?
Right now, it's "You're My Fix (Utah Saints Remix)" by Slyde. Before that, it was psytrance.
77. LAST THING YOU DRANK?
a glass of water
78. LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
a guy I work with, about work stuff
79. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE IN THE OPPOSITE/SAME SEX?
I try to gauge how intelligent people are. Is that snobby?
80. FAVORITE THOUGHT PROVOKING SONG?
Bleh, I say to this question.
81. FAVORITE THING TO HATE?
BAD DRIVING
82. FAVORITE MONTH OF THE YEAR?
Good things always seem to happen to me during colder months. I have a lot of fond memories that involve being bundles up against the cold, somehow.
83. ZODIAC SIGN?
I'm a Gemini. I have my full chart around here somewhere, actually. :P
85. WHAT IS YOUR HAIR COLOR?
Dark Brown-ish
86. EYE COLOR?
I don't know if it's closer to grey, or to blue...?
87. SHOE SIZE
12
88. FAVORITE FAST FOOD PLACE?
I don't eat fast food often, because of the migraines. I like McNuggets, though.
89. FAVORITE RESTAURANT?
I dunno, actually. It depends on my mood. I find myself eating at PF Chang's a lot lately. I wouldn't call it my favorite, but it's okay.
90. DO YOU LIKE SUSHI?
Sure!
91. LAST THING YOU WATCHED?
I watched an episode of Fringe last night.
92. FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR?
Eh?
93. PLAY ANY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS?
I played classical guitar for a while in high school. I was actually not bad at it, but as I got better at it, it became less fun. Eventually it was more work than play and I just sort of stopped. I gave my guitar away to one of my sister's friends after I realized that I hadn't even thought about picking it up in over a year. Once in a while I think about getting another, but I worry that I've forgotten everything I used to be able to play.
94. REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT?
More Democrat than republican, I suppose. Really, though, I think we need more options.
95. KISSES OR HUGS?
Both are good
96. RELATIONSHIPS OR ONE NIGHT STANDS?
I'm far more interested in relationships than in one-night-stands.
97. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU BOUGHT?
A haircut, and a whole bunch of books at borders after that.
98. WHAT KIND OF CAR DO YOU HAVE?
a Ford Focus hatchback
99. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING?
I'm finishing Glen Cook's "Chronicles of the Black Company" before hopping into some of the stuff I bought at borders the other day.
100. DESCRIBE YOUR LOVE LIFE?
non-existent
