I'm bored enough to do surveys. I know, they're a waste of a good blog post. I have nothing important to say, and I'm done with reading shit online. And since I'm laying in our bedroom next to a sleeping Amy and I can't sleep, this is what I'm doing. Deal with it.
1. Someone knocks on your door at 2 a.m., who do you want it to be?
Someone planning to give me some sort of financial windfall, and someone who doesn't mind seeing me naked.
2. Your boss tells you he/she will give you a $20 raise if you'll do your job naked, do you stay and take the raise?
Wow, speaking of naked.... No. Not for $20 a year, $20 a week, $20 a day, or $20 an hour. If you get to a raise of $20 a minute, then you'll probably get somewhere. I mean, that's $4800 a week. That's good money!
3. Put yourself in a nutshell:
I don't think I'd fit.
4.Have you ever seen a ghost?
No, I don't believe that shit like that even happens.
5. Happy with your body?
Unhappy enough to be depressed, but to lazy and cheap to care about fixing it.
6. A reason you would move to Iceland:
Beautiful scenery.
7. A place you've lived that you miss:
I miss people in Muncie. I don't miss Muncie.
8. A job you would never do, no matter how much you were paid:
How long of a list are you hoping for?
9. A band/group you thought was cool when you were 13:
Back then, I was most obsessed with The Ramones, Green Day, Soundgarden, Oasis and Smashing Pumpkins.
10. You have a nightmare, who's the first person you think to call?
I've never called anyone about a nightmare.
11. Wanna have kids before you're 30?
Not before, not after.
12. A memory from high school:
No thanks. I try as hard as possible to forget.
13. Ever had a crush on one of your friend's parents?
No.
14. Naughtiest thing you've done at work
Smoke pot.
15. Do you look more like your mom or dad?
Hmmm. If you don't know, you've never seen my parents.
16. Something you've always wanted to learn how to do:
Be universally talented in music and art.
18. Where you'd like to be in 10 years:
Tenured.
19. Something you learned about yourself this year.
I like hockey. A lot.
20. What do you want for your birthday?
I want everyone to ignore it as if it's another day, because in my opinion, that's exactly what it is and it's not worth a big fucking deal. If I think this about my birthday, you should too, so get-the-fuck-over it.
1. NAME THREE THINGS YOU DID TODAY?
Woke up early. Shopped for groceries. Hiked the Piney Woods Trail Goodyear Heights Metropark.
2. LAST ITEM YOU BOUGHT FOR YOURSELF.
Groceries: three loaves of organic whole wheat bread, a thing of the vanilla/chocolate soy pudding with the panda on the package, a pack of SmartDogs, a package of Tofurky Deli smoked flavor "meat," a gallon of apple cider.
3. DO U HAVE AN ORNAMENT HANGING FROM UR REARVIEW?
Every car I've ever been in charge of has had a set of dice hanging from the rearview.
4.WHAT DID YOU HAVE FOR BREAKFAST?
I had a nearly-vegan Andy-created ripoff of the Steak 'n Shake Frisco Melt sandwich. They don't make good cheese for vegans, so I had to use real swiss! I'm such a loser, but I'm only a wannabe vegan so it's okay.
5. NAME A CELEB YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON:
I don't do that whole bag.
7. HOW MANY HOURS OF SLEEP DO YOU GET A NIGHT?
3-5
8. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TIED UP?
Only in bed.
9. WHAT DO YOU WISH YOU WERE DOING RIGHT NOW?
See number 8.
10. WHOS THE FIRST PERSON IN UR PHONE BOOK ON UR CELL?
Amy, I'm sure. I only have a few names and hers starts with an "A."
11. LAST TIME YOU WITNESSED A FIGHT?
A few months ago we saw some high school girls kicking the shit out of each other down the street from the local high school.

I was actually thinking about taking the lessons over at the Kent ice rink. Grad students get a discount... but I think I should get insurance first. My last time on skates was not pretty.
17. NAME SOMETHING THAT YOU LIKE THATS OUT OF THE ORDINARY?
Cottage cheese.
18. IS BIGGER REALLY BETTER?
Not usually. I know this is supposed to be some sort of innuendo, but that subject is something I know nothing about.

He was good in Fight Club and Seven. He kind of annoyed me in Ocean's 11. And women need to get over him.

21. When was your first detention?
Senior year of high school, for creating a class president campaign sign for Kyle DeWees claiming that he liked child pornography, sex with furniture, etc. I didn't even post them! I made one for him as a joke, threw it away, and then Bill Breder found it and posted like 200 of them.
Have you ever...
Been to another country?
Yes, several.
Lost a friend over a dumb fight?

Been in a spelling bee?

Of course. Teenagers need beer and cigarettes.
Pet an elephant?
I've ridden an elephant.
Made out with someone?
Eww.... Why would anyone do that?
Made someone cry?
Too many times.
Wrote a poem?
Yes. It was painful.
Been in a band?
I guess you could call it that.
Been called a poser?
Plenty. My clothing usually isn't "hip" enough for the music/politics/arts/culture I pay attention to. The "others" tend to be as judgmental about appearances as the mainstream.
Been called a bitch?
Sure.
Been called a hoe?
Nope, never been called a rake or a weed-whacker or a cicle or a wheelbarrow, either.
Been called a prep?
That's one thing that's certainly never happened.
Someone planning to give me some sort of financial windfall, and someone who doesn't mind seeing me naked.
2. Your boss tells you he/she will give you a $20 raise if you'll do your job naked, do you stay and take the raise?
