The meme to end all memes...
EDIT I've come back to this entry and edited/changed some answers on 12/5/07, 8/22/08, 2/19/09, 8/30/2009, 10/12/09 and most recently 3/7/2012. My friend list has changed since then and it's a good way to get to know me. Again...it's INSANELY LONG.
This is the longest survey/meme that I’ve ever done. In fact, it’s part of something that I ganked from discordandnight but it’s also bits and pieces of other ones I’ve been sent. If you have the time and patience to actually read the whole damn thing [and if you do, then I applaud you and you jump to the top of my friend list since you want to get to know me that much...or maybe you're just morbidly curious about me, who knows...] what you read may surprise you. Or not.
So, have at it...

6) I have two huge scars on my right knee from where I fell into a metal door-frame in high school while being chased thru my high school auditorium before opening night of a play I was to be in. I slipped on some sand and split open my knee on a door frame and needed stitches. When I hit the ground I landed on a nail, giving me the OTHER scar.
7) My pinky finger on my left hand doesn’t straighten. I broke it playing basketball and thinking it was just jammed, repeatedly tried to pull it back into place. Three days later I realized it was broken. Hairline fracture right down the middle.

Fire...try to go by smoke inhalation.
3) Which scenario would cause you to feel more guilt-accidentally shooting someone in the chest or starting a forest fire that killed thousands of animals?
Hmmmmm...it depends, are we talking like cute, furry, big-eyed animals? Or spiders and roaches? And is the person trying to shoot/harm ME? Cause then...screw THEM.

Or not.

6) I have two huge scars on my right knee from where I fell into a metal door-frame in high school while being chased thru my high school auditorium before opening night of a play I was to be in. I slipped on some sand and split open my knee on a door frame and needed stitches. When I hit the ground I landed on a nail, giving me the OTHER scar.
7) My pinky finger on my left hand doesn’t straighten. I broke it playing basketball and thinking it was just jammed, repeatedly tried to pull it back into place. Three days later I realized it was broken. Hairline fracture right down the middle.

As sad as it sounds...a bake-off.
2) How would you prefer to die-at a public hanging, in a fire, by drowning, or by a shark attack?
Fire...try to go by smoke inhalation.
3) Which scenario would cause you to feel more guilt-accidentally shooting someone in the chest or starting a forest fire that killed thousands of animals?
Hmmmmm...it depends, are we talking like cute, furry, big-eyed animals? Or spiders and roaches? And is the person trying to shoot/harm ME? Cause then...screw THEM.
4) What would you rather drink a glass of-mud puddle water, olive oil, vinegar, or saliva?
Ummmm…olive oil, I guess?
5) If you won a $1,000 shopping spree what type of store would you spend it in-toy store, electronics store, book store, clothing store or home decor store?
It would be a toss-up between a home décor store and an electronics store…
6) What would you rather eat for dinner-raccoon spare ribs, deep fried gerbils, St. Bernard steak, or kitty cat stir-fry?
Raccoon...I can’t wrap my brain around eating something I would keep as a pet.
7) If you were poor and desperate what would you sell first-your sperm/eggs, your wedding ring, your car or your body (prostitution)?

By “time-machine” do we mean “Tardis”, and by “friend” do we mean “The Doctor”? If not, then fefuse to go. I’d fuck something up no matter which direction I’d go. But if they insisted, the past. Fix some shit, pay more attention to other things and kick some asses that will need it in the future, including my own.
