2301. Who is the hottest celebrity you can think of? I'm not so much in the market for this, but Brad Pitt is still up there as long as he wears deodorant. I hear that's somewhat of an issue occasionally.

2302. Have you ever been to the following diaries (on opendiary.com)? If yes, what do you think..if no, then based on the name, does it sound interesting to you? I'm not at all sure if that site is still functional--I'm not about to go check!
Hicks: Not so much.
Shukhevych: If I knew what this meant, I might be interested.
Cinderella: Hell to the nope.
Oliver: Probably not.
A tinfoil valentine: How timely. And no.
Burning River: Hmmm, maybe?
joebeginswithajay: Nah.

2303. Do you ever get so nervous that you can't even think? I get anxious often enough that this is a fairly regular event.

2304. Do you sing when there is no music? Sometimes.

2305. Would you rather cast a spell or say a prayer? I wouldn't know what spell to cast. I'll stick with the Serenity Prayer.

2306. Why does the US dollar bill have a pyramid on it? Something about being part of the Illuminati, from what most people seem to think. I prefer the concept that it's a symbol of what the Eye of God (above it) is looking at (the works of humankind).

2307. Who was the best political leader in history and why? My guess is that the best political leaders are also possibly the ones we don't pay a lot of attention to for other reasons. I think Elizabeth I is up there near the top, for instance.

2308. What was the first sex toy you ever used? Hah, I don't play that way here.

2309. If you hated a book, would you burn it? No. But I have been known to throw them if I didn't like the ending.

2310. What are your feelings about pornography? Like most things in life, it's perfectly ok in moderation, as long as it's not involving children or slavery, or snuff.

2311. What are your feelings about people who are against pornogrophy pornography? I get that. There is a lot of porn that is made under quite horrifying conditions. That is what I'm against as well.

2312. If you could dance with anyone in the world right now, who would it be and what song would you dance to? I'd love to dance with Beast. The music is immaterial.

2313. What is your favorite flavor of schnapps? NOT peppermint!! I got so sick on that in college that I can't even use mouthwash anymore to this day.

2314. Finish this sentence your own way. There are two types of people in the world... people who divide people into Them/Us and people who don't.

2315. What have you saved since elementary school? I've got my diaries from childhood, and my first Bible, and some photos and school projects. Don't ask me where most of these things are....

2316. Have you ever won an award? Lots of them. Not recently, mostly because I don't really trust awards having not really worked that hard to achieve those I received.

2317. Are you more:
good or evil? I tend toward good.
wise or foolish? Hah. I'm a right idiot most of the time, but I fake it well.
safe or dangerous? I hope I'm safe.
satisfied or envious? Generally, satisfied, but there are certain things I'm wishful weren't so.
honest or decietful deceitful? Uhm, well, seeing as how I just admitted to faking things...  But seriously, I'm usually pretty honest about things, when I'm asked. I've been working on keeping my big mouth shut.
faithful or perfidious? Faithful, for my sins.
sane or mad? I'm sane. Depressed as hell, but sane for the most part.
strong or weak? Strong-like-ox.
enigmatic or plain? Plain. This makes me giggle a bunch.
aggressive or peaceful? I tend towards aggression, which I'm trying to not indulge in. I mean, I'm peaceful, but when challenged I get uite defensive.
brave or timid? Both. Depends on what we're talking about. Apparently, money-wise, I'm super-timid. In a lot of ways, I'm good at doing The Brave Thing even when completely terrified.
humane or cruel? Humane. I can be verbally cruel, however. Working on that as well.
critical or appreciative? I was raised in a veryVERY critical atmosphere and over the last decade or so I have worked very hard to kill that (or at least tamp it way down) and be more grateful about the good things in my life.
temperamental or calm? Calm. Though my sister told me while she was here in October that I like to pick fights. So, maybe I am still 14 and hormonal. Or MAYBE yknow I WAS EMOTIONALLY EXHAUSTED AND FREAKED OUT ABOUT MY FUTURE AND SHE WAS BEING A BITCH AS USUAL!!
sad or happy? My natural bent is happy, but I have issues that pull me the other way regularly.
normal or unusual? I'm so boringly normal that I have to work to try for weird. I definitely appreciate The Weird in life.

2321. Who is your favorite historical figure? Harriet Tubman.

2322. White bread or wheat bread? Seedy wheat bread.

2323. Would you rather never have sex again or have sex once with a walrus? Never. Not that I don't like walruses, but I totally prefer my own species.

2325. What is the kinkiest thing you've ever done? Oh hell, I don't know.

2326. What is your favorite pick-up line? I don't really care for pick-up lines. "Hi" is sufficient.

2327. Do you usually do things fast or right? I'd love to be able to say honestly that I always do things right, but I have to say that speed is more my focus than perfect.

2328. What will the most common Halloween costume be this year? God knows.

2329. What was it last year? No clue. I wasn't home on Halloween last year, so I didn't see a single costumed person.

2330. Is love a choice or something that can't be helped? Choice.

2331. What is youur preffered your preferred method of birth control? Whatever works. Personally, I had a hysterectomy, but I don't recommend that for most people.

2336. Would you wear a thong bathing suit in public? I wouldn't even wear one in private?!

2338. If you had to be surgically attached at the hip for two years to either Britney Spears, George W. Bush or an ugly creepy troublesome but nice troll, who would you pick and why? Right now today? I think I'd rather hang with the troll, but it's a tight race.

2339. Let's assume that there is a "meaning of life," a reason for humans to be here on this planet. Would you give up both of your legs and one of your arms if it would mean everyone else would learn the meaning of life? It's not that complicated to figure out the meaning of life. So, no.

2340. If you could meet God and talk to him for 5 hours, -or- find out whether or not there is intelligent life on other planets and make contact with them, which would you pick and why? (Note: If you meet God, you will never find out if there is intelligent life on other planets, so you can't ask God if aliens exist. Also, you would get no proof that you had talked to him or her. And finally, if God doesn't exist then you don't get to meet him or her!). I'm doing the God meetup. Don't really care about aliens.

2341. Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, or The Breakfast Club? The Breakfast Club. The other two...yuck!!

2342. Before you read this question, pick a person from your life, any person. (You have to be thinking about someone before you continue!). Would you rather have the ability to watch that person for one hour per day, or would you rather have that person watch you for one hour per day? Who is it and why? (you pick the hour - they don't know that they are being watched - it's like there are invisible TV cameras following them around)? Well that is 100% creepy. Nope. Neither.

2343. Would you rather be guaranteed to have your dream job or never be heartbroken? Dream job.

2344. Have you thought about death today? Yup.

2345. What is your favorite breakfast? Lately, I've really been craving waffles. I don't even know why. Usually I have a bagel with sliced cheese.

2346. What is your favorite classic movie? I don't really like movies, and not old ones much at all. So, I'll say Psycho and move on.

2348. Are you the life of the party? Nope.

2349. Do you wish you were? Nope.

2351. If you realize that a student at your school or a colleague from your job has plagerized plagiarized part of their work from the internet. What do you do? I'd be surprised. I mean, I work in a library, so it would be surprising.

2352. What does your computer look like when you aren't looking at it?? I don't even know how to take this question. Like, if I blink or look away? Or if I leave it on and go away?

Satanism: Nope
Nazis: Nope
that doom game: I don't even know what this is.

2358. Do you believe that people live in their own worlds or realities or do you think we all share the same world/reality? Bit o' the both, really. We all see the world differently, but I do believe that we have to agree on a common reality or we can't function as a group.

2359. Do you believe that Nazism was a characteristically German thing, or do you think a similar type of government could spring up in any country? I think everyone is capable of horrible things, and every country is capable of having amazingly inhumane policies. We're all human.

2360. Is your diary in the internet archive wayback machine (http://www.archive.org/web/web.php)? Yes, lol. What a basic layout it is, too.

2364. What does tx81z stand for? I would assume, after some research, that it's simply a SKU that Yamaha put together that means something to them and no one else. For instance, 9781627792769 is the ISBN for a book (978) written in English (1) published by Metropolitan Books (62779); 276 refers to the order in which this book arrived to be coded, and 9 is the check-digit.

2370. What promise could you never keep? As a parent, I have to say I totes lied on this one: "Mommy and Daddy aren't going to die." No toddler needs the truth on this one, not at the point when they generally ask the question.

2372. What are you a member of? Church, clubs, my workplace, various random groups on Facebook, etc. etc.

2375. Have you ever been stood up? {snort} Yes.

2376. Use a similie simile to describe yourself. "She's a sloth."

2377. Good. Now use a metaphore metaphor. "She's as slow as a sloth."

2379. Have you ever experianced experienced culture shock? FUUUUCK, yeah!

2380. Imagine you were trapped in one of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11/01. Who would you call and what would you say to them in those last few minutes? Beast and Sparky, but I'd be humping down the stairs while I did it.

2382. Does doing this effect your whole day? Nope.

2383. What was the last movie you watched and what did you learn from it? Sparky and I went and saw the last Star Wars movie in December. What did I learn? I learned I'm really glad the franchise is passing the baton already, jeez.

2384. Do you believe that everyone who doesn't believe in your religion is going to hell? I do not believe that at all.

2385. What is the best thing about winter? Fresh, clean, untouched snow is one of the prettiest things in the world, especially watching it fall from inside a warm building.

2386. Do you ever shovel your neighbor's walk? I don't even shovel my own walk!! In the olden days when I could do so, I did sometimes. 

2387. How often do you hold back from saying what you are thinking? It's getting easier to do this. Eventually, perhaps I'll never speak again.

2388. Have you ever looked back at someone you loved and wondered 'what attracted me to THEM?' Nope. I'm a realist in most relationships. I tend to like/love people despite flaws.

2389. What do you think of Drew Barrymore? I don't, much, but she seems like someone who'd be fun to hang out with.

2390. Name one thing you refuse to ever do. Give up hope completely.

2391. Nmae Name one place you refuse to ever go. I don't need to ever see Antarctica with my own eyes.

2393. Pick 3 random letters: B W H
Now think of the first 3 things that pops into your head that starts with each letter. Butter, beatles, batman. Window, watch, wealth. Hoe, handle, hope.

2395. What does it take to be a 'real gentleman'? Courtesy and charm.

2397. On the first Sept 11th anniversary, the New York lottery's winning numbers were 9, 1 and 1. Do you believe this is fate, coincidence or a conspiracy/plan?  I do not believe in conspiracies. I don't really believe in fate either. So that leaves coincidence.

2398. Have you ever noticed that there is a lie in the middle of the word believe? Huh, nope. Interesting.

2399. When (and if) people (or animals) go to heaven, do they become angels? No one becomes angels. Angels are entirely separate beings.

2400. What is your most important body part? My brain. Derp.
