I've been pretty good about not filling these out lately. That streak has ended like all good things. Amy's sleeping, and I'm bored. This one comes courtesy of Mrs. Hooper. Enjoy.
FIFTY-ONE things you might not know about me---erase my answers & put in your own, then repost somewhere.
1. What is your middle name?
Benjamin
2. What size is your bed?
Queen size mattress on the floor.
3.What are you listening to right now?
The tapping of my laptop keys and the whir of the floor fan in our room.
4. What are the last 2 digits in your house phone number?
86. There's no return.
5. What was the last thing you ate?
Bologna sandwich with ketchup and rip-off Miracle Whip.
6. Last person you hugged?
Amy
7. How is the weather right now?
Chilly, about 31 degrees with a northeast wind at 25 miles per hour, gusting to 34 miles per hour. That puts the windchill into the mid-teens, if I'm not mistaken. Sky cover is 8/10, and visibility is about 10 miles. I would estimate relative humidity to be 50% which at this air temperature would put the dew point right around 17 degrees. Barometric pressure? Right around 30.00", or 1015 mb. If I had more time, I'd look it up and maybe post a radar image or something. Jackass.
8. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?
Amy
9. The first thing you notice about the Opposite sex?
Body shape.
10. are you currently seeing anyone?
Amy
11. Do you want children?
I want to adopt eventually.
12. Do you drink?
I do. We all do, or we die.
13. Ever get so drunk you don't remember the entire night?
In my more adventurous days, I would use alcohol to forget weeks.
14. Hair color?
Brown.
15. Eye color?
Blue
16. Height?
18" or so. I'm laying down.
17. Favorite holiday?
May Day.
18. Favorite season?
Autumn.
19. Ever cried for no reason?
Suuuuuuure. What, do you think I'm emo or something?
20. Last movie you watched?
Condorman. Hence the change of avatar.
21. How many mirrors are in your room?
One.
22. Do you know any fall out boy songs other than "sugar we're going down"?
Is "fall out boy" a band?
24. Do you enjoy the sensational taste of starbucks?
It's overpriced.
25. Does the word "horcrux" mean anything to you?
Horcrux? No. Should it?
26. Do you have any friends of the gay preference?
Sure, several. Why do you ask?
27. Do you think Jesus is great?
Who am I to judge?
29. What books are you reading?
A number. Orientalism by Edward Said, In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, The Geography of War and Peace by Colin Flint (who I re-met at AAG by the way), an excellent book on Children's Geography by Stuart Aitken of which the exact title I can't remember and a couple others. I'm a PhD student... reading is what I do.
30. Piercings?
Left ear.
31. Top 5 favorite movies:
All-time or currently? I'll go with all-time. Hrm... this is a hard question. No particular order:
Duck Soup
Almost Famous
Blazing Saddles
Office Space
Back to the Future
32. favorite college football team?
If I have to do college football (which is lame considering my small-school alum status), I guess it's the Ball State Fighting Cardinals. They always suck.
33. What were you doing before filling this out?
Do you really want to know? I was using the toilet.
34. Any pets?
No comment.
35. Dogs or Cats?
Dogs.
36. Favorite flower?
Dandelions.
37. Have you ever been caught doing something you weren't supposed to?
Um... of course! Otherwise, how would we have ever gotten in trouble, been disciplined and been socialized into the world in which we live?
38. Have you ever loved someone?
Amy.
39. Who would you like to see right now?
Some Indiana friends and family, some old LSM friends, Kurt Vonnegut and Noam Chomsky.
40. Are you still friends with your exs?
Define ex. If I had a serious relationship of any real sort with the person, then no. If it was just a big crush that never materialized into anything... well, there are about five of them on my friendslist.
41. Have you ever fired a gun?
Yes. I'm not proud.
42. Do you like to travel by plane?
Fuck flying. Worst way anyone ever invented to travel.
43. Right or left-handed?
ambidexterous.
44. What are your regrets?
Being so clueless for so many years, alienating so many people, drinking too much for a while, getting involved with my ex.
45. How many pillows do you sleep with?
Three if you count Amy. I do.
46. Are you missing someone?
Amy's asleep. So yes.
45. Do you have a tattoo?
No. If I got one, I would hate it a week later. Not the best idea for a jerk like me.
46-47 are missing?
48. Do you still watch cartoons on saturday morning?
No. Sleep and homework come first. Besides, kids cartoons are retarded these days.
49. Are you hiding something from someone?
I'm full of not-so-nice surprises like that.
50. Do you play an instrument?
Viola, bass, mandolin, violin, some piano.

Piano and guitar. These would make me useful and versatile.
1. What is your middle name?
