stupid teenagers
Tired of all of those surveys made up by high school kids?
'Have you ever kissed someone?'
'Missed someone?'
'Told someone you loved them?'
'Drank alcohol?'...
50 questions for the people who are a little older...
1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
Rent.
2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
The Melting Pot
3. Do you regret losing your virginity to who you lost it to?
I didn't at the time, but I sort of do now.
4. If you could go back and change one thing what would it be?
I'd have been a more active, healthier child. I had a horrible diet and got no exercise. I've somewhat fixed myself as an adult, but it would be a lot easier if I'd been raised with a healthier lifestyle.
5.What do you want to be doing right now?
Painting or making something. But I have no supplies right now.
7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
An archaeologist, an actress or director, a theater lighting director, and a forensic scientist. I got that last one. I'm really a scientist.
8. How many colleges did you attend?
I did my freshman year at Oakland University and then spent 4 more years at U of M.
9. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
I love this shirt. My Simon & Garfunkel shirt. I got it at the S&G concert in Detroit in 2003. It fits just right and it's so comfy.
10. What are your thoughts on gas prices?
Are you kidding? There's no excuse for my tiny little car eating $35 each fill-up.
11. If you could move anywhere and take someone with you where would it be?
I think I'd move to San Francisco with my parents, siblings, my Ann Arbor friends, and any of my Indiana friends liberal enough to brave the city with me.
12. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
Friday morning: "Oh, fuck. It's cold and I have to leave my bed."
13. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
"I get to sleep in tomorrow."
14. Do you miss being a child?
Not really. I like being a grownup.
16. What errand/chore do you despise?
Bathrooms.
17. If you didn't have to work, would you volunteer?
I think so. I'd need something to do. I'd tutor kids, probably.
18. Get up early or sleep in?
I like to get up early, eat a quick breakfast, then go back to bed for a few hours. Mmmm, heaven.
19. What is your favorite cartoon character?
Something from Adult Swim, I guess. Maybe Frylock from ATHF.
20. Favorite thing to do at night?
Watch TV, then play on my laptop in bed until I fall asleep.
21. Have you found real love yet?
No.
22. When did you first start feeling old?
When I visited my old high school to see my little brother's plays, and didn't recognize any of the kids there, and thought they all seemed so stupid.
24. Your favorite lunch meat?
Turkey
25. What do you get every time you go into Wal-Mart?
I hate Wal-Mart. So I run in, get my prescriptions for $4, and run out.
26. Beach or lake?
Lake. But I get neither in Indiana.
27. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual?
I think the marriage "ritual," the "sacrament," is outdated, yes. People put way too much emphasis on the religious aspect of it. But I'm interested in marriage as a social concept, a binding of two people throughout life, and a declaration of partnership and love. I do want to get married, with all the cultural trappings, but without the religious connotations.
28. Do you own property?
Almost.
29. Favorite Guilty pleasure?
American Idol.
30. Favorite movie you wouldn't want anyone to find out about?
I enjoyed "13 Going on 30" way more than I should have.
31. What's your drink?
I'm fond of strawberry daquiris or margaritas. I also like Bloody Marys, martinis, and nice dark beers.
32. Cowboys or Indians?
Indians, I guess.
33. Cops or Robbers?
Geez. Right now I'm leaning towards robbers, because at least I know how to deal with a bad robber.
34. Who from high school would you like to run in to?
The people I'd like to run into, I'm still in touch with.
35. What radio station is your car radio tuned to right now?
I don't listen to the radio.
36. Norm or Cliff?
Who? (I know who they are but I've never seen the show)
37. Grey's or The Office?
The Office. Ellen Pompeo's voice makes me want to shove a pencil in my ear.
38. Worst relationship mistake that you wish you could take back?
I really don't have enough experience in relationships to have made a mistake I regret.
39. Do you like the person that sits directly across from you at work?
Oh yes, I love Mike. He's my big brother.
40. What famous person would you like to have dinner with?
Hal Sparks- he's the only person I can think of down-to-earth enough that I wouldn't be too scared to talk to him. He's a sweet boy.
41. Indoors or Outdoors?
Either, as long as I'm comfortable. That means no sweltering heat or humidity, no bugs, and no freezing cold. Other than that, I love fresh air and a bit of sunshine.
42. Have you ever crashed your vehicle?
I wouldn't call them "crashes"...
43. Have you ever had to use a fire extinguisher for its intended purpose?
No, but my mom got me one to keep under the kitchen sink.
44. Last book you read?
Technically, "The Complete Book of Paint" that I got off the bargain rack for $4.99. Before that, "Darkly Dreaming Dexter."
45. Do you have a teddy bear?
I have a stuffed dog and a bunny. They collect dust in the corner of my dresser.
46. Strangest place you have ever brushed your teeth?
Well, there's always been a bathroom sink involved, so it can't be that strange.
47. Somewhere in California you've never been and would like to go?
San Diego? I think I would spend maybe half a day in L.A. and then get sick of it.
48. Do you go to church?
Nope.
49. At this point in your life would you rather start a new career or a new relationship?
A new relationship.
50. How old are you?
24
