Happy, Mike?
(1) The singular boring question: is ‘How are you?’ I do believe. And I am fine, thank you for asking, survey.
(2) If you had been born a member of the opposite sex, what would your name have been? My mom was fairly certain she was going to have a girl even before she knew for sure, and she wanted a girl, so she never had a boy’s name in mind.
(3) Would you name a child of yours after you? Do women do that? I thought it was just a thing that guys do.
(4) If you had to switch first names with a friend of yours, who would you switch with? Uhh. CHLOE. Uhhh. REBEKAH. And I would say Robin if I had a friend named Robin.
(5) What's the way people most often mispronounce any part of your name? Stefanie does not get mispronounced. People either get my last name exactly or they completely butcher it.
(6) If you were to become famous, would you drop your last name (like Madonna, Cher, Roseanne)? I like my last name too much for that, and it’s too unique to drop it. But for the sake of the press not having to deal with that many syllables, I would contemplate dropping it.
DEEP THEOLOGICAL QUESTIONS
(7) Do you believe in the traditional view of Heaven and Hell? No.
(8) Do you think God has a gender? Uhhh. Iono.
(9) Do you think science counteracts religion? More like religion attempts to counteract science.
(10) Do you believe in organized religion? It has its uses.
(11) Where do you think we go when we die? Wherever we want to go.
(12) Do you feel a little funny thinking about the questions in this section? Nope.
HUMOR
(13) How easy is it to make you laugh? Very easy. Tickle me. Tell me a joke. So long as I know you (I dislike it when strangers make dumb jokes and expect me to laugh at how clever they are) and I’m not in a bad mood I’ll always laugh. If I am in a bad mood…I just glare.
(14) What person you know makes you laugh the most? Uhh. Smiling doesn’t count? Mike makes me smile the most by far. As for laughing…um, iono, Mike? It’s not like I talk to many people.
(15) Do you laugh at jokes you know you shouldn't? Yes. But oh well. There’s enough jokes that go right over my head that I can’t laugh at to make up for it.
(16) Do you tell jokes you know you shouldn't? I have a bad sense of humor. So I don’t even attempt jokes.
(17) What words instantly make you laugh or at least smile? I forget which words Liz loathes, but it’s those weird words. I think mucus is one of them.
(18) What do you think is the funniest thing you've ever said or written? I don’t say or write funny stuff. I DO funny stuff!
MUSIC
(19) Do you ever dance to music when nobody's watching? Yes. Though for some reason I find myself making stupid faces in the mirror to music more than actual dancing. Dance of expressions?
(20) What is/are the worst song(s) you have ever heard? The music the general manager plays at work. Everybody hates it, even the other managers (who change the station when he’s not there). They’re like whiney R&B versions of old classic songs that would be good otherwise.
(21) What song(s) do you wish you could understand a little better? Uhhh. Music is music. It’s nice to hear. If I can’t understand it then I don’t try to understand it. Unless there’s sexual connotation involved. Then I’m like ‘huh?’
(22) What song(s) are constantly in your head? -shrug-
(23) What song(s) do you think describe your personality best? -shrug-
(24) If you were to serenade the object of your affections, which song(s) would you use? I’m really bad at serenading. So I don’t usually try. :x
(25) If the object of your affections were to serenade you, what song(s) would you hope he or she used? He did serenade me. It was delightful.
MOVIES
(26) What movie(s) do you love that nobody else seems to?
Treasure Planet, Waterworld, weird sci-fi movies like that.
(27) Do you agree with the idea that sequels are always worse than the original? They’re not always worse. What Mike said.
(28) Who's your favorite Star Wars character? R2-D2. He has spunk for a robot.
(29) What kind of movie do you think there should be more of? Movies that don’t defy the laws of physics.
(30) What movie(s) do you simply not understand the appeal of? Horror movies where the only horror is a lot of gore in the most demented ways.
FOOD
(31) When eating, are you more concerned with taste or healthiness? I would say healthiness but I eat too many cookies to prove that.
(32) What's your favorite kind of cheese? Brie.
(33) What do you think your answer to the previous question reveals about your personality? I like European food?
(34) If you knew exactly what went into Chinese food, hamburger meat, etc., would you still eat it? …what does go into Chinese food?
(35) Do you ever feel guilty eating meat? Not really.
COMPUTERS
(36) Mac or PC? PC. I don’t know how to use a Mac, though it looks fun.
(37) How much do you actually care about the inner workings of your computer, as long as it works? I took a class that touched on inner workings of my computer. I didn’t get any of it.
(38) Do you ever begin preferring IMs to other forms of conversation? Usually.
(39) Do you find you're different talking through IMs than face-to-face or on the telephone? Yes. When I use instant messengers, I get to think about what I say before sending it. I say stupid stuff face-to-face or nothing at all because I talk before I think.
(40) Have you ever ended bid on something on eBay and regretted it later? eBay scares me.
THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES
(41) Have you ever wished you could experience being the other gender? Sure, if only to avoid the issue with bras, boobs, hair, PMS, and makeup.
(42) What do you love most about the other gender? When they take silly little risks just for the heck of it.
(43) What do you dislike most about the other gender? Hmm. When they think they’re all that and a bag of chips.
(44) What do you understand least about the other gender? What’s in their heads.
CELEBRITIES
(45) Do you sometimes see a movie or watch a show just because a good-looking celebrity is in it? I don’t bother with movies.
(46) What celebrity's autograph do you want most? Any of them if I could sell it for a lot of money.
(47) Have people ever said you looked like a celebrity, and if so, who? I don’t…wait…yes. Apparently I look like some random chick from some random movie about high school that’s from the 80’s.
(48) If there was to be a movie about you, who do you think should play you (in personality, looks or both)? …What if I don’t want a movie about me?
(49) Does it ever annoy you when you know someone is a celebrity but you can't remember why? Isn’t that how it is with a lot of celebrities?
(50) If you could enter any celebrity's mind like in "Being John Malkovich", whose would you enter? What is this ‘Being John Malkovich?’
(51) Do you want to be John Malkovich? Who is John Malkovich?
NUMBERS
(52) Do you laugh when you hear or read the number 69? I used to. Then I realized specifically which sex position it was.
(53) Were you lying about your answer to the previous question? Unfortunately not.
(54) Do you actually know your Social Security Number? Yes
(55) Do you actually know your IP address? I could look it up if I wanted to?
(56) Do you know what an IP address is? Kind’ve.
(57) Do you know the four-character extension on your ZIP code? …why would I need to know that?
(58) Ever thought there were too many numbers floating around in our lives? Good heavens no. I LOVE MATH AND NUMBERS.
(59) Does your head begin to hurt when you think of infinity, imaginary numbers, irrational numbers, etc.? My head goes ‘WEEE’ instead.
(60) What do you think of pi? Cake.
LOVE, SEX AND ALL THAT
(61) Did you get a little frightened or uncomfortable seeing this as a section title? Is this survey aimed at preteens?
(62) If someone you had no interest in dating expressed interest in dating you, how would you feel? Disinterest and wondering how to give them the message in a nice enough manner.
(63) Do you prefer getting to know someone first before dating them or going in "blind"? I’m incapable of going in ‘blind.’
(64) Could you carry on a relationship with someone with the same first name as a family member? Aren’t I doing that already?
(65) Have you ever wished it was more "socially acceptable" for a girl to ask a guy out? If a girl wants to ask a guy out, why shouldn’t she?
(66) What's your opinion on sex without emotional commitment? People can do whatever they want, which they would do anyways even if they couldn’t.
(67) Have you ever been romantically attracted to someone physically unattractive? Hm. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I’ve found every guy I’ve been attracted to as attractive.
(68) Do you think the opposite sex finds you good-looking? Again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think I come off as ‘cute’ more than anything, but that’s not always a good thing.
(69) Would you be willing to give up sex in exchange for an emotional commitment you knew would last? Don’t I already do this?
(70) Do you think the number of the last question was a coincidence? …what’s the coincidence part? The fact that question 69 is in the sex section? So what?
POSSESSIONS
(71) What is your favorite possession? My books (even the textbooks). Or my laptop.
(72) What physical, tangible possession do you want most? Mike.
(73) How badly do you want it? …WHY DID YOU PUT JUST A BIT HERE, MIKE? Then I will say just a teensy bit.
(74) Have you ever seen 'The Exorcist'? Ew. No.
(75) How long did it take you to understand why the last question is in long? I think there’s too many ‘long’s in this question. And you’re a dork, survey, but it’s amusing.
HOLIDAYS
(76) Does Christmas music too far away from Christmas annoy you? To an extent, but only because the earlier I start hearing Christmas music, the earlier I get sick of it and loathe it until Christmas is over.
(77) How old do you think you will be before you stop liking getting older? 15.
(78) What was the best Halloween costume you ever had? ZORRO!
(79) What was the worst Halloween costume you ever had? Uhh. Those Halloweens where I dress like myself.
(80) What holiday do you think has still managed to retain its original meaning? -shrug-
(81) There are currently no federal holidays during August- what should be put there? -shrug-
MEMORIES
(82) How good is your short-term memory? I think it’s okay.
(83) How good is your long-term memory? I don’t think it’s so good.
(84) What is your earliest memory? Several memories from the house I lived in when I was 2, such as the night I threw up, the night I fell out of bed, the night I couldn't sleep 'cause I thought my coat hanging on the closet was a giant flamingo that was going to eat me if I closed my eyes. And also the day my mom found some big softball in our trash that I wanted to keep.
(85) What is your happiest memory (other than receiving this survey)? Is receiving this survey a memory? And I can’t think of a single memory that’s better than all the others.
(86) What is your strangest memory? Iono.
(87) What song, movie, etc. do you wish you could memorize? -shrug-
(88) What movie makes/made you cry? THE NOTEBOOK. I LOATHE YOU, THE NOTEBOOK. And really, any movie that involves someone losing their mind makes me cry for some reason.
(89) What book makes/made you cry? I can’t recall crying over a book.
(90) What song makes/made you cry? Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole. It has a special meaning. And there are other songs with special meanings that I don’t want to put here that have also made me cry. Like a bluegrass song I was just listening to made me tear up because it reminded me how much I miss my mom. I really do cry a lot.
(91) What makes/made you laugh so hard you cried? A lot of things do.
THREE TRULY RANDOM QUESTIONS
(92) Would you like to be cloned? I don’t think I’d get along very well with my clone, so no.
(93) Do you wish you could be alive when the world was ending, just to experience it? …why? I’d find it depressing and frightening, so no.
(94) Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the fandango? Thunderbolt and lightning, very very frightening me.
THIS SURVEY
(95) Do you think that one hundred and one questions is too long? Yes, if they’re stupid questions.
(96) Do you think the one hundred interesting questions actually were interesting? My previous answer answers this.
(97) Are you sorry you began filling it out? I didn’t have much of a choice. -points to Mike-
(98) What question do you wish it had asked? Why does livejournal choose to make all of the words bold when I tried to post this entry under a cut rather than just the questions and not my answers?
(99) How would you have answered it? Because it's dumb.
THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
