Ye survey!

Don't even ask what I did today.  Just remind me to thank the Dude profusely for lending me his X-Men cartoon DVDs.  And to throw out the massive number of pizza boxes.

Also, my new catch phrase is "It is now time for hot Norwegian sex" in a deep, accented monotone.  Because "Liam Neeson kills cats with hammers!" may not be an accurate phrase.

And now!

Yoinked from teadragon.

1. The phone rings. Who do you want it to be?

The Sweepstakes, telling me I’ve won!

 

2. When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart?

Why wouldn’t I?

 

3. In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener?

I try to be both.

 

4. Do you take compliments well?

I blush and say thanks, or play up having an ego.

 

5. Are you an active person?

Hell, no.

 

6. If abandoned alone in the wilderness, would you survive?

No. I can barely survive in an apartment.

 

7. Do you like to ride horses?

I only really rode a horse once, and then the one time I did I was like 12 and I rode it for seven hours.  My family was on a guided tour through Canyon de Shelley, and I got this great big guy named Sam, who was the steadiest horse of the lot.  When we climbed out of the canyon, I had absolutely no fear about his footing. Everyone else was worried about the sheer drop, and I was enjoying the view.

 

But damn, I couldn’t move for two days afterward.

 

8. Did you ever go to camp as a kid?

Just a summer school for kids with overactive brains.  Once we had an archaeological dig in the high school long jump pit.

 

9. What was your favorite game as a kid?

The Lava Game!*

 

10. If a sexy person was pursuing you, but you knew he/she was married, would you get involved with him/her?
Let's not overcomplicate things already, old boy.

 

11. Are you judgmental?

Yup.  But I try to temper it.

 

12. Could you date someone with different religious beliefs than you?

As an atheist, I might have trouble with any religious type.  I could probably do it if the person held their beliefs as a metaphor instead of as actual fact, though.

 

13. Do you like to pursue or be pursued?

Not really.

 

14. Can you speak another language?

When I tell people I’m a linguistics major, they ask me how many languages I speak.  Silly, but they do.

Here’s my answer: I speak English like a native, I’m fairly fluent in Spanish, and speak some Japanese, ASL, and Swahili.

 

15. If you had to choose, would you rather be deaf or blind?

Deaf! I’ve been practicing.

 

16. What's your favorite food?

Spaghetti or gulab jamun

 

17. Do you know how to shoot a gun?

No.

 

18. If your house was on fire, what would be the first thing you grabbed?

A fire extinguisher.

 

19. How often do you read books?

As often as I can.

 

20. Do you think more about the past, present or future?

Usually some sort of alternate universe, actually.

 

21. What is your favorite children's book?

Sumbitch, um … okay, ten really good ones:

1.      All I See Is Part Of Me, by Chara M. Curtis and Cynthia Aldrich**

2.      Amelia’s Notebook, by Marissa Moss (the series, collectively)

3.      A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Brown

 

23. How tall are you?

5’4 or so

 

24. Where is your dream house located?

Right now it’s in Nevada, right outside of Las Vegas, but I’m going to have it moved after I kick Penn Jillette out of it. Maybe by blimp.

 

25. Last person you talked to on the phone?

The pizza guy.

 

26. Have you ever taken pictures in a photo booth?

No.

 

27. When was the last time you were at Olive Garden?

Who cares?

 

28. What are your keys on your key chain for?

Unlocking things.

 

29. What's your favorite color?

Dark green or bright orange.  Respectively.

 

30. Where was the furthest place you traveled today?

From the porch to the sidewalk.

Is this a trick question?

 

34. Do you look like your mom or dad?

Both. Scary, I know.

 

35. How long does it take you in the shower?

All the way through “He Mele No Lilo,” all the verses of “All Shook Up” and “Yellow Submarine,” and maybe “Gone Troppo” or “The Mermaid” if I’m shaving.

 

36. Can you do splits?

I can’t even get a 90^o angle, dammit.

38. Do you put lotion on your dog or cats?

What?

 

39. What did you do for New Year's?

Never saw an episode.

 

49. What do you buy at the movies?

Hot Tamales.

 

50. Do you know how to play poker?

Theoretically, but I think I’d suck at it.  I learned it some years back for a story about a character who kicks ass at it.

For the record, I also know how to play Sabacc, if anyone wants to bet their Corellian YT-1300 freighter.

 

51. Do you wear your seatbelt?

Let me tell you a story.  When I was six years old we wuz driving through Nevada from Salt Lake to Sacramento, and after a few hours I got out of my seatbelt for like ten seconds to reach for some markers.  And it was in that instant that the car caught the side of the road, pitched, and rolled like eight times. My mother fractured her neck and hit her head hard, my aunt had to have her arm reconstructed (which would explain the ring-finger photo phenomenon), and my siblings—aged 2 and 4, and both in carseats—got bumps and scratches.

 

And me?

 

I flew out the back of the car.

 

Woke up in a sticker bush, with most of the skin torn off my right side (I must have skidded).  No bones broken, but I was scarred, traumatized, and digging broken glass and thorns out of my head for months. We are still working off the trauma, and goodness only knows why we’re all still alive.

 

You better fucking believe I wear my seatbelt.

 

52. What do you wear to sleep?

Pajamas.

 

53. Anything big ever happen in your hometown?

The Olympics were kinda fun.

 

54. How many meals do you eat a day?

Cumulatively, I suppose three.

No.

 

56. Do you always read MySpace bulletins?

No.

Yea, verily.

 

58. Do you like funny or serious people better?

Funny.

 

59. Ever been to LA?

Nope.

 

60. Did you eat a cookie today?

Mmm … chocolate chip cookies.

 

61. Do you use cuss words in other languages?

I have shouted “¡MADRE DE DIOS!” in the past, but usually I use bizarre English ones.

 

62. Do you steal or pay for your music downloads?

Pay.

 

63. Do you hate chocolate?

I keep a Vosges Chocolate catalog under my mattress.

 

64. What do you and your parents fight about the most?

What to watch on TV.

 

65. Is your cell usually on vibrate or ring?

Ring.

 

66. Are you a gullible person?

Depends.

 

67. Do you need a boyfriend/girlfriend to be happy?

I’d better not, as I’ve never had one.

 

68. If you could have any job (assuming you have the skills) what would it be?

I would have to go with wizard-muggle relations counsellor, or alien medical anthropologist.

 

Oh, did you mean something real?

 

69. Are you easy to get along with?

We can only hope so.

 

70. What is your favorite time of day?

Nap time.
