The Survey Place

(Link at left)

1. DO YOU SNORE? I've been told I snore when I'm exceptionally tired, and sometimes when I'm sick.

2. ARE YOU A LOVER OR A FIGHTER? Yes. Depends on the day, my mood, and the subject in question. I can go either way.

3. WHAT'S YOUR WORST FEAR? Failure.

4. WERE YOU A CUTE BABY? I was adorable!! I have the picture my parents had on their bedroom wall, taken when I was 6 or 8 months old. Really, I was a cute kid. ;-)

5. IS THE SINGLE LIFE FOR YOU? There are days when I think it might be. And then there is the rest of the time, when I think it's probably not.

6. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR KEYBOARD? Sadly, I've been away from the computer so long that my first thought was, "But I don't have a piano, and anyway, aren't most keys ivory/white?"
My keyboard is black.

7. DO YOU SING IN THE SHOWER? Nope.

8. ANY SECRET TALENTS? Yep.

9. WHAT'S YOUR IDEAL VACATION SPOT? Ouray, CO. Or Ydra.

10. IS JAY LENO FUNNY? He is vaguely amusing in an Old Fart kind of way.

11. CAN YOU SWIM? No, ma'am, I can't.

12. HAVE YOU SEEN THE MOVIE "DONNIE DARKO"? Wow, talk about random? No, I haven't.

13. DO YOU GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE OZONE? Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll (literally) be toast if it goes.

14. HOW MANY LICKS DOES IT TAKE TO GET TO THE CENTER OF A TOOSTIE POP? More than I'm willing to do. Tootsie Pops make my teeth hurt too much...too sweet.

15. CAN YOU SING THE ALPHABET BACKWARDS? I used to be able to...let me check.... Yes, but much more slowly than when I was younger.

16. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ON AN AIRPLANE? Uh, yeah.

17. ARE YOU AN ONLY CHILD? Kinda used to feel that way, yeah. But I'm not.

18. DO YOU PREFER ELECTRIC OR MANUAL PENCIL SHARPENERS? I prefer mechanical pencils so I don't need to choose (but I have better luck with electric sharpeners).

19. WHAT'S YOUR STAND ON HUNTING? My stand on hunting is in a tree with a beer. Why do you ask?

OK, I don't hunt, I can't shoot a gun, and I really doubt I be able to keep my lunch (or beer) down if I had to deal with anything I shot. But if I had to hunt to eat, I would certainly learn!!

20. IS MARRIAGE IN YOUR FUTURE? I hope so, since it's surely in my past and present!

21. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Yes, unless I'm in a hurry.

22. WHAT ARE YOU ALLERGIC TO? Dust. Mold. Some perfumes/soaps. June grass. Corn pollen. Cats. Dogs.

23. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAID, "I LOVE U"? I told Sparky and Beast I love them last night. I don't know if I said, "I love u" though. I think it was more, "I love you."

24. IS ELVIS STILL ALIVE? There are Elvises still living. The Graceland one, yeah--not so much.

25. HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR EGGS? Whee...more randomness. Over easy.

26. WHAT TIME IS IT? 9:22 CDT

27. DO YOU HAVE A NICKNAME? Not really, unless "Mom" counts.

28. IS McDONALD'S DISGUSTING? Er...some of the restaurants are, some aren't. The food is reliable, though.

29. DO YOU LIKE TO HAVE YOUR NECK KISSED? Assuming it's being kissed by someone I like, yes.

30. ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK? Nope.

31. WHAT ARE YOU ADDICTED TO? The internet, and Diet Dr. Pepper.

32. CRUNCHY OR CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER? Creamy.

33. CAN YOU CRACK YOUR NECK? Yep. And my spine all the way down. And my fingers, and my toes, and most joints in between. Aging is entertaining in some ways, at least!

34. HAVE YOU EVER RIDDEN IN AN AMBULANCE? No. Thank God.

38. WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR EYES? Hazel.

40. DO YOU LIKE YOUR LIFE? Yes.

41. ARE DOGS A MAN'S BEST FRIEND? I dunno about a man, but I like dogs a lot.

42. YOU BELIEVE IN DIVORCE? As in "Do you believe in fairies?" or as in "Is divorce ever an option?" If the former, yes (duh). If the latter, yes, but I wish people who thought divorce was no big deal wouldn't get married in the first place. However, the need for divorce will always be there, because people don't always grow at the same pace, and lots of people lie about who they really are before they get married. I certainly don't look down on divorced people.

43. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? A Cinnabon--all my calories for the next week...on one plate.
gack

44. DO YOU WEAR NAIL POLISH? In the summer, I always polish my toenails. I currently have nail strengthener on my fingernails, but I have hideously ugly fingernails due to years of biting them.

45. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN KISSED? God help anyone who answers this in the negative! Of course I have. And quite well, too, may I add!

46. WHAT'S THE MOST ANNOYING TV COMMERCIAL? "I'm thiiiiinnnkkkking of a number...." That twerp needs to be duct-taped to his credit score and launched into space.

47. DO YOU SHOP AT AMERICAN EAGLE? I've been in one of their stores I think. Don't think I've ever bought anything.

48. WHAT'S ONE THING YOU WISH YOU COULD CHANGE? Humankind's lust for power.

49. DO YOU LIKE THUNDERSTORMS? If I'm inside, or at least under cover and safe. I don't like the kind that turn into tornado weather, however.

50. WHAT WOULD YOU REDO IF ANYTHING? I'd change my wedding day. Not the date, not the "cast" of the wedding, just the way it was handled.

51. DO YOU WANT KIDS? I'm wishing for grandkids right now, or great-nieces and/or -nephews.

52. HOW MANY? How many kids? One is perfect. How many grandkids? I'll take what I get. Great-nieces/-nephews? I've got eight possible 'producers,' all old enough to be making babies. Three are married. One of those is "never having children." One tried, and they are now looking at other options than "normal birth." The rest...need to get married and get to work!!

52 1/2. NAMES? Yes, they should all have names, preferably names not used by others in the family. However, I'll probably end up calling them all "kiddo" or "sweeties" or "snookums." :-)

53. FAVORITE NUMBER? OK, we're done with kids, now, right? My favorite number is 16. Not sure why, but I like that number.

54. DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE DEATH PENALTY? See my intro to the divorce question. I believe it exists. I believe it is used far too often, but I can't say it should never be used. I do think, however, that everyone who sticks a sign up on their car or lawn or wherever saying "pro-life" better also be opposing the death penalty or they are hypocrites.

55. WHAT'S ONE THING YOU WISH THE OPPOSITE SEX WOULD KNOW? Huh? The opposite sex from mine? One thing? Guys already know a lot of things. Some guys know a lot of things about a lot of things, others know a little about a lot fewer things. This is a weird question. Sorry, can't answer it.

56. HAVE YOU BEEN IN LOVE? Yeah. Recently, in fact.
