Survey
19 years ago
General
I've always rather liked these surveys, though I don't often fill them out.
I got this one from Tieldraggy and figured that since I have this journal, and apperantly people are watching it, I might as well fill it out.
Single or Taken:: Taken
Happy about that:: Things are strange between us (mostly on my part), and I have much thinking to do on it.
Eye color:: Blue-Green
Shoe size:: 11
Height:: 6ft plain
What are you wearing right now?:: A black Tshirt my parents brought for me from Las Vegas bearing the image of a B'rel class Bird of Prey and the words (both in english and Klingonese) "We are Klingon!"
I also have on a pair of 'Faded Glory' carpenter style jeans (which I prefer) and my Hi-Tek hiking boots.
Righty or Lefty:: While I'm left eye dominant, I'm Right-Handed
Can you make a dollar in change right now?:: No. I have $13 american in bills and a dime.
FAVORITES
Kind of pants:: Carpenter (or Painter's) style. I enjoy having pockets, but not ones so bulky as in cargo pants.
Animal:: That's a hard question to answer. When seeing a delphine, I'm apt to say Orcas; but that might change. But I will answer Utahraptor ostrommaysorum since the Dromaeosauridae have always been dear to my heart (though a safer, but more vauge, answer would be 'Dinosaurs' in general).
Drink:: Root Beer. I have several favorites within this. A&W makes the best floats, but (though there are strong contenders) Barq's makes the best sipping RB.
Month:: July
Favorite cartoon:: 'The Land Before Time'. The original Don Bluth film shaped much of what I was as a child and became as a man.
HAVE YOU EVER...
Given anyone a bath:: No, not yet.
Bungee Jumped?:: No, but I hope too.
Made yourself throw-up?:: Almost, to get out of school for a day, but decided that it wasn't worth sinning for.
Skinny dipped?:: Yes, but as far as I know, there were no witnesses.
Loved someone so much it made you cry?:: Yes.
Broken a bone:: Never that I know of (and I think I would).
Played truth or dare:: Yes, but I was in only one round.
Been in a physical fight:: Unfortunatly yes, though I was rather good at getting out of them. I am rather proud of the fact that I have never lost a fight, although I had one draw.
Been on a plane:: Yes, several times. I enjoy flying during the day, when there are plenty of clouds. It makes me feel glad.
Came close to dying:: Yes, but that was a while in the past.
Been in a hot tub:: Yes, my parents owned one for a short time. We enjoyed using it outside amidst all the winter snow.
Fallen asleep in school:: A few times, generally by accident. I will sleep through just about anything once I'm off, so I try not to let it happen.
Ran away:: In moments of childish rage I thought about it; but I knew better then to threaten it, or do it.
Broken someone's heart:: Yes, and I'm still bitter about it. Her's wasn't the only heart broken when we parted.
Cried when someone died:: Yes. It takes me some time for the depth of it to set in, but it's inescapable.
Fell off your chair:: Yes. Sometimes in laughter, sometimes with grief.
Sat by the phone all night waiting for someone to call:: No, but I've had days were I expected a call at any time during the whole day.
Saved AIM conversations:: Yes, mostly for good reasons.
Used someone:: Not in cruel ways. Although I once set up a friend to draw for me a picture that I intened to give to someone else. Fortunatly, the result was what I hoped, and they met.
Been cheated on:: Not maliciously, although the question doesn't include 'open' relationships.
WHAT IS...
Beside you:: A large box being used as a trash can on the forward left, and a laptop sitting on a TV-tray on the direct right.
Last thing you ate:: A slice of mozzarella
EVER HAD...
Chicken pox:: Yes, I walked into the bath with a single spot, and walked out with dozens. But I remember it being rather painless and quick.
Sore Throat:: Many, many times. That is usually the fist sign that I'm getting ill.
Stitches:: Yes, just below my right thumb, just inside the wrist. I needed four.
Broken nose:: Fortunatly know.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN.. love at first sight:: Tricky, but I would have to say no. You can be 'infatuated' at first sight, but love as I know it comes from an understanding of the person.
Long distant relationships:: Yes, I've seen it happen, and am watching it happen now. In some ways, I think they can be better then the face-to-face, in that over an IM screen there is no visual image to subconsiously judge. You get to know the person, before the face.
Liked school:: Elementary school was as akin to hell as I think I've ever been, save once. While I enjoy learning, the public shool system does not make it enjoyable, or even desireable. I've learned more from the Discovery channel, TLC and the History channel then I retained in school.
Question yourself:: Constantly.
Who makes you smile the most?:: Fancy, that's actually the toughest question yet! My consort, Usagi makes me laugh quite a bit. She's my choice.
Who knows you the best:: She knows who she is. But I've changed since then. My dear friend Justin, knows me best. Of all the people I've known, he has stayed by me, though we be seperated by several states.
Do you like filling these out:: I've enjoyed it so far (though I imagine I'm having more fun typing it then people will have reading it).
Do you get along with your family:: Yes. My brother and I are estranged, but I don't hate him. My mother's side is very 'traditional' and hard for me to endure for long. But all the others are close to me; especially my Grandpa Jack.
FINAL QUESTIONS:
What did you do yesterday:: Worked (we've been busy) and spent the evening at home feeling a bit sick at heart.
What car/truck do you wish to have:: An IROC-Z Camaro t-top. Either black with silver trim, or white with black stripes.

Phone or in person:: In person, I'm not fond of talking over the phone.

Favorite Locations:: 1620 Grant St. in my hometown. I was raised in that house and my memory often goes there. Nostalgia can make me smile just as much as it makes me weep.

Your Favorite Food?:: Pizza on a butter-cheese crust.
Ever get so drunk you don't remember?:: I've never been drunk. I have gotten a 'buzz' once or twice, but I'm stupid enough when I'm sober.
Are you too shy to ask someone out?:: For the most part, yes; though I seldom got the chance or felt the need.
Hugs or Kisses?:: Hugs.
Dogs or cats?:: Cats, but only because I have never owned my own dog. If I did, I may well change my answer.
