Survey!
1. Your full name: Stephen Daniel Healey
2. Do you feel like your name fits you? As much as the name "Stephen" can. I don't know, I seem about how most Stephens I know are. Plus, it's a nice combination of English and Irish names, befitting my heritage.
3. Do you have an alter ego? Father Steve. ... Oh, I thought you said "altar" ego. My mistake.
4. Where were you born? Exeter, N.H.
5. Where do you live? Valparaiso, Ind., and Seabrook, N.H. I'll be in Valpo over the summer but my official residence will remain Seabrook.
6. Do you like to travel? It helps when I'm not the only one traveling -- so usually driving home on breaks sucks.
7. What is your birthday? December 19, 1984.
8. Do you have siblings? No.
9. Do you have pets? I don't really like animals, so no, I don't. Perhaps if I'd ever had a pet I'd feel differently, but I haven't, so I don't.
10. Which was the happiest year of your life? 2003. Graduation, fun with Granite State Challenge, a start of something new in Valpo.
11. How old do you wish you were? I want to stay about 19 or so forever.
12. A movie is being made about your life. Who would you cast to play you? Not sure.
13.Who would you cast to play your significant other? The Invisible Woman, since she doesn't exist presently.
14. How would this movie end? With me lying on my bed updating my LiveJournal with a survey.
15. Is it better to be famous or infamous? Famous.
16. Youre going to die a natural death. What is the cause? Knowing my family history, cancer.
17. Youre going to die a sudden, tragic death. What is the cause? Getting hit in the head by an object falling from the overhead bin in a plane.
18. How long do you plan on living? Until I can't live anymore. (Wow, after answering 21 I glanced back at this and realized I'm more or less plagiarizing Big & Rich here.)
19. What was the last song you got stuck in your head? It's currently varying among "Drunker Than Me," Trent Tomlinson; "Never Mind Me," Big & Rich; and, just because my parents were watching Oprah yesterday, "Beautiful" by James Blunt.
20. Sing any commercial jingle. Everybody hates to eat and run, they'd rather take it slow/But the way this life is going, you've gotta take your food and go/But when all this running 'round catches up with you at last/Grab yourself an Alka-Seltzer and you'll feel better fast!
21. What is your favourite element on the periodic table? Helium, because it sounds like my last name. ... Honorable mention for tungsten, since I did a report on it back in seventh grade.
22. Sunrise or sunset? Before I go back to Valpo, I'm going to try to see a sunrise from the beach. As of now, I like sunsets, only because I've seen more.
23. Introvert or extrovert? Introvert until I'm really good friends with people.
24. Creation or evolution? Both. I believe in the creation (though not in seven "days" since God has no perception of time, so a day is an hour is a millennium -- there's no distinction in time), with evolution following. Especially in the case of humans, sort of a Creator-inspired evolution from simians.
25. Action or reaction? I react better than I act.
26. Unity or individuality? I used to be all-individual, all the way, now I'm striving for more unity with people. So I don't know. (Shirt idea of mine: "You laugh at me because I'm the same. I laugh at you because you laugh at me for being the same, when all of you are the same when you attempt to be different.")
27. Hugs or drugs? Hugs, unless it's ibuprofen. I don't know how to make that decision.
28. Animal, vegetable, or mineral? Animal, whether to pet, run away from, take pictures of, or eat.
29. Popsicle, creamcicle, or fudgecicle? Fudgecicle!
30. Fight or flight? I'd probably flee. Most who know me would agree.
31. Who is your favorite historical figure? Henry Clay. He was actually my standard answer for everything (based on my friend Mike R. doing that when we'd play Jeopardy! and he didn't know the answer) before that honor moved to Bob Dole (something I still don't quite understand).
32. Which historical figure could we have done without? James Garfield. It's bad he was assassinated, but still, only one month?
33. What happened in the last dream you remember? I forget whether this was the day before leaving Valpo or the following day (in Youngstown), but I was driving home with Andrea, and there was an idea we might be lost. I didn't think we were. Then we checked the atlas and saw we were in Aurora, Colo. (And I don't think my friend Heather from the Vail area was involved in the dream.) Surprisingly, Aurora on the map in my dream is very close to where Aurora is in real life, and it's been a long time since I studied the metro maps in my atlas.
34. Do nice guys really finish last? It depends on what context. I know, for example, if you're a basketball player, then you won't be drafted, and I suppose that's finishing last.
35. What are your favourite boy names? Philip, Theodore, ... even those aren't really favorites, per se, they just sounded good at the time.
36. What are your favourite girl names? Not sure.
37. Open or closed? Closed.
38. White bread or wheat bread? I used to like white, then I went to wheat, now my parents introduced a whole-grain white that, while probably having no health benefits, tastes pretty good.
39. Is it better to burn out than to fade away? I'd rather fade, personally.
40. You put a quarter into a toy machine. What comes out? Nothing, because I can't operate the claw.

43. What was your first pet? Whichever is the next animal I buy or inherit.
44. What annoys you? Being talked down to, just because of my age. This usually only happens from two certain people ...
45. What is your favourite action caption from the old batman tv show? I have never seen it. I liked, though, in Futurama, when Bender hit somebody and it said something like "010001110011!"
46. How many licks does it take to get to the centre of a tootsie pop? Three. I've never doubted the owl.
47. The glass... half empty or half full? Half as thirst-quenching as it could have been.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON
48. Tightie whities: Yeah, I wear 'em. Got a problem with that?
49. Mc Donalds happy meals: I never enjoyed them, because they would take a hamburger with all the toppings, scrape off the mustard/onions, leave the pickles, then give it to me as a "ketchup-only" burger. They tried to do the same thing to me yesterday on my double cheeseburger, but when I brought it back I found it was a simple mistake, thankfully. (Yeah, I still get burgers with ketchup only. Got a problem with that?)
50. Reality shows: I will almost never watch them; they are mindless drivel. Occasionally, I will check out Surreal Life just because it's so bad, though, as well as Fit Club. I hate what VH1 has become, but some of the contrived situations are just so unbelievable that they are funny to point and laugh at people.
51. Gummi bears or gummi worms? I love bears.
52.Would you rather sky dive or deep sea dive? Neither?
53. Paper or plastic? Paper when I feel like being nice and caring; plastic when I want to be able to carry 12 bags into the house with one hand.
54. What position do you sleep in? On my side.
55. Do you sleep on the left, right, or the middle of the bed? In the middle, or slightly diagonal, depending on the size of the bed.
56. Sweet or sour? I'm not a sour-flavor-enjoying person.
57. What was your favourite after school special? I didn't like after-school specials, but I did watch stuff on Fox Kids and the Disney Afternoon.
58. What is your favourite word? Strategery.
59. Beach or mountains? I never go to either ... lol. Beach is closer, mountains are more picturesque.
60. Mounds or almond joy? I don't like coconut.
61. Do YOU feel like a nut? Thanks to my family, yes.
62. To give or to receive? Give, but not on a regular holiday. I don't really feel the need to celebrate Christmas, Valentine's Day, or my birthday. A random day like April 29 is more my style.
63. Chocolate or caramel? Chocolate.
64. Do you have any nicknames? Steve, Steve-O, Stevie Wonder (from baseball), Hip-Hoppin' Be-Boppin' Scuba Steve (from math team -- I don't know what it's supposed to mean), Phen Diagram (from math team).
65. What does your name mean? From the framed explanation currently sitting on my bureau four feet away: "The name is derived from the Greek word stephanos, meaning crown. It dates back to the 6th century, as used by the martyr St. Stephen, who made the name famous. His name was especially appropriate because martyrdom was regarded as a victory by the Christians."
66. Have you ever fainted? Only in doctor's offices. My most famous one, of course, led to several stitches and the redness that still exists on my nose and chin.
67. Have you ever had a crush on a school teacher? Not really.
68. What was the last thing you ate? My breakfast, which was a bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats (with almonds), two Aunt Jemima waffles, and a banana.
69. Do you have any bad habits? Nail-biting, too much self-deprecation such that it's hurt my overall self-esteem.

Mc Donalds happy meals: I never enjoyed them, because they would take a hamburger with all the toppings, scrape off the mustard/onions, leave the pickles, then give it to me as a "ketchup-only" burger. They tried to do the same thing to me yesterday on my double cheeseburger, but when I brought it back I found it was a simple mistake, thankfully. (Yeah, I still get burgers with ketchup only. Got a problem with that?)
50. Reality shows: I will almost never watch them; they are mindless drivel. Occasionally, I will check out Surreal Life just because it's so bad, though, as well as Fit Club. I hate what VH1 has become, but some of the contrived situations are just so unbelievable that they are funny to point and laugh at people.
51. Gummi bears or gummi worms? I love bears.
52.Would you rather sky dive or deep sea dive? Neither?
53. Paper or plastic? Paper when I feel like being nice and caring; plastic when I want to be able to carry 12 bags into the house with one hand.
54. What position do you sleep in? On my side.
55. Do you sleep on the left, right, or the middle of the bed? In the middle, or slightly diagonal, depending on the size of the bed.
56. Sweet or sour? I'm not a sour-flavor-enjoying person.
57. What was your favourite after school special? I didn't like after-school specials, but I did watch stuff on Fox Kids and the Disney Afternoon.
58. What is your favourite word? Strategery.
59. Beach or mountains? I never go to either ... lol. Beach is closer, mountains are more picturesque.
60. Mounds or almond joy? I don't like coconut.
61. Do YOU feel like a nut? Thanks to my family, yes.
62. To give or to receive? Give, but not on a regular holiday. I don't really feel the need to celebrate Christmas, Valentine's Day, or my birthday. A random day like April 29 is more my style.
63. Chocolate or caramel? Chocolate.
64. Do you have any nicknames? Steve, Steve-O, Stevie Wonder (from baseball), Hip-Hoppin' Be-Boppin' Scuba Steve (from math team -- I don't know what it's supposed to mean), Phen Diagram (from math team).
65. What does your name mean? From the framed explanation currently sitting on my bureau four feet away: "The name is derived from the Greek word stephanos, meaning crown. It dates back to the 6th century, as used by the martyr St. Stephen, who made the name famous. His name was especially appropriate because martyrdom was regarded as a victory by the Christians."
66. Have you ever fainted? Only in doctor's offices. My most famous one, of course, led to several stitches and the redness that still exists on my nose and chin.
67. Have you ever had a crush on a school teacher? Not really.
68. What was the last thing you ate? My breakfast, which was a bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats (with almonds), two Aunt Jemima waffles, and a banana.
69. Do you have any bad habits? Nail-biting, too much self-deprecation such that it's hurt my overall self-esteem.
