nope...still not a real update.
1. You're Infected. Someone in your Top 8 has the cure. Who would that be and why did you choose them?
I think this is a stupid question.
2. What Myspace friend knows the REAL you best?
Why are people so quick to assume that what they know about someone isn't
REAL? I don't think that anyone knows the entire REAL me, but anyone
I've spent some time with knows parts of me.
3. Describe a typical Monday for you?
Wake up too damn early after usually not getting enough sleep. Go to work too
damn early and deal with lots of people. Go home and feel tired earlier than most
days.
4. Any odd routines you follow when you wake up?
I make myself a cup of tea almost before I do anything else. Is that odd?
5. If alcohol was banned worldwide, what would your reaction be?
I can live without alcohol. I think the bigger question here is whether or not this a
violation of free will that would be worth pursuing and what I could or would do about
that.
6. When was the last time you cried?
I think I shed a tear last night while watching a show about someone who was born without
legs.
7. Your CD collection is going to be repossessed. You may keep one, what do you choose?
Is it just the CDs? I still have a lot of music on cassettes. I even have some vinyl. I
could live without the CDs, but I would like to have some time to tape my favorite ones
first. The real question that is being asked here though (if I could only own one album and
it had to be something that I bought already recorded)…aww shit, I just can’t pick one. It
would wind up being whatever I was most in the mood to hear at the time I had to choose. I
could pick maybe ten favorites, but not just one.
8. Do you believe world peace is possible?
I do not. This would be based on the fact that you could never get everyone to agree on
what they want, and also because some people don’t want peace.
9. I'm a genie. Name your wish.
Can I have a reasonably nice house in a reasonably nice neighborhood that I own?
10. Name one thing about the OPPOSITE sex that automatically turns you off.
Machismo
11. Name one thing about the SAME sex that automatically turns you off?
Faked helplessness and stupidity
12. Speaking of SAME sex, what do you think of Brokeback Mountain?
I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m glad that more recognition is being given to such topics.
It almost has me believing that the general populace is becoming more open-minded.
13. What popular word do you find to be incredibly annoying?
I find the two words “zero tolerance” to be very bothersome.
14. Leatherface is in the kitchen. Will you fight to victory, or hide?
I’ll change the channel.
15. Do you feel that people underestimate you?
I do think that sometimes, and then other times I can see why. I’m trying to change that.
What happened to number 16?
17. Was it just me, or did Mariah lipsynch half her performance at the Grammys?
I don’t like or watch awards shows most of the time.
18. Honestly, do you talk about Myspace in real life?
occasionally
19. Have you met someone from online in person?
A few people. Most of the people I know online are people I met IRL first.
20. When it comes to cybersex, are you game?
I have not played that game.
21. Do you believe minimum wage should be raised?
It’s probably about time. It’s easier to question it when you don’t actually make minimum
wage.
22. If someone at a bar gives you "the look" how do you respond to it?
Cringe inwardly and avoid further eye contact.
23. Desperation happens. Do you take advantage of desperate people?
No
24. Pretend you're 15 deep in beers. Describe what you would be doing now.
I can’t even drink half that much without getting sick, so if I somehow managed to get
that many into my body, I’d probably shortly thereafter be on my way to the hospital.
25. Sometimes people get depressed. Are you the one they turn to?
At the moment, I don’t feel that they usually do. I haven’t been very accessible lately
though. I’m sorry if my friends feel that I wouldn’t be there for them if they wanted me
to be.
26. Describe your "style".
I find myself caring less about fashion these days. I wish I felt that I could just go out
and spend time with friends and not have to worry about what I’m wearing.
27. Describe what your "type" is.
Intellectual, creative, multi-faceted, open-minded, funny, loves animals and nature, has
similar taste in music, compassionate, patient, likes to read, explore the world around
them, knows there is a difference between monogamy and monotony, can be a grown-up and
still retains childlike enthusiasm, treats me like an equal, is open to the possibility of
having kids or adopting, takes care of themselves.
28. Love and Sex go together. Would you have sex if no love was involved?
There are different levels to love. I’ve had sex with someone who I didn’t believe I was
in love with, but I did care for them. I am not in a place where I want to do that again
at this time. I would prefer the two go together for me.
29. Does everyone in your life know the real you?
What does that mean really? I don’t think anyone knows me completely, but I’d like to
think that I’m not portraying myself to people in a false manner. I don’t think I’ve
really been very open with most people though. I think these things take time.
30. What is something you're afraid of. (Be more creative than "Snakes")?
I actually like snakes. Someone said “religious fanatics” and I’d have to agree with that.
I’ll expand it to include anyone who believes that it’s the right thing to oppress
the free will of others.
