Do you ever judge people based on if they believe in God or not? Their attitude towards belief or non-belief in God is way more important than their belief. If they're snotty or bitchy or know-it-all-ish about it...I judge them on that.

Do you ever brush your teeth in the shower? No, but it makes a great deal of sense.

Has your printer ever stopped working at the last minute and you had a paper due the next day? What did you do? I went to school before personal computers. I had to go to the campus computing center and type my paper in to one of the dumb terminals there, and use the two-ton printer there to get a hard copy, and THEN tear off the holes along the sides of the paper, and tear the long strip of printer paper into pages. Or I could use my portable typewriter instead, without correction ribbon.

Are you sometimes scared to express your opinions in fear of what others might think? There are times when I don't really think it's important for my opinion to be voiced. Not "afraid" exactly; more empathy.

What about drinks? Would I date someone who drinks? Sure. As long as he keeps himself under control. I certainly wouldn't knowingly date a drunk.

Have you ever gone to one of those parties where everyone is falling out drunk everywhere? Yes. Isn't that called college? But not for many many years.

Are you 'the good girl' or 'the bad girl' or somewhere in between? Mostly a good girl, though I have a loud mouth.

Do you ever erase the numbers off of surveys just because they annoy you? No. I have taken off the numbers, or renumbered questions if they were wrong.

When you bold things, do you use keyboard shortcuts (ex: ctrl + b) or do you put in your own bold tags or do you use the B button in the tool bar? I normally use Ctrl+B, but in Blogger if you're in HTML view--as I am now--that doesn't work, so I type it in...in HTML.

How exactly do you pronounce (type it the way it sounds to you) Xanga? I say "Zanga" in my head. But I don't think I've ever said it out loud.

Don't you hate it when you go to look at someone's site and they've shut it down? It's annoying, but I'm not surprised.
