Survey. *falls over*

beandelphikiI'm tired and Sauron has me wiped out and in pain, so what do I decide to do? Answer a long survey, of course! Kick me.
Ganked from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mhw, mainly because the questions are sort of random, so I was actually sort of interested.
Of course, I've seen surveys like this before and ignored them, so I don't know what got into me tonight. All that work though, I'll be damned if I don't post it.
Pick up the nearest book and write a sentence at random from it:
Just one sentence?
A child's body with a man's appetite forever.
Do you like having your picture taken?
Hate it. I wish I liked it.
Ever bought a CD for just one song?
*blushes* Yes, and no, you don't get to know what song. Or what CD. (Well, tape, actually, but big difference.)
Do you read your horoscope?
Only to laugh at how wrong it is.
If you could only talk to one person online, who would that be?
Well, right now I want to talk to this one guy who seems interesting and runs a Yahoo group I'm in. I just don't know how to IM a gay man who's a total stranger to me without making it look like I want to cyber. I've emailed him twice, and he asked me if I wanted to cam with him.
I hope that doesn't mean he's less interesting than he seems.
What colour is the inside of your head when you close your eyes?
Deep black. Sometimes shot with very dark blue, like the night sky. Sometimes with red, like very dark blood.
Do you find you use Internet language when writing notes in real life?
I did in high school. I don't think I would now.
When you're talking do you ever use your hands to do quotation marks in the air when saying certain words?
If I'm being sarcastic, maybe. If I'm really quoting someone, I say so. And inflection does more than people give it credit for.
Ever seriously questioned your sanity?
Many times.
When you dream do you see what's happening in a character's view or a camera type view?
Nothing's static in my dreams. I very often dream with camera view. Often I see myself in camera view and yet am inside myself - like watching a puppet I can control absolutely and think for. Other times, I've been inside characters. Some male, some female, some not human - I seem to switch POV at a thought in my dreams.
Have you ever kept a New Year's resolution?
I don't make them because I know I won't keep them. Hell, I won't remember them two days later.
What was your school mascot?
Not sure what a mascot is in this case. Something literal, or a symbol? We just have symbols. College - cougar. High school - a knight. Junior high - bear for the first one, "flames" for the second. I don't remember farther back than that.
Do you wish your teeth were whiter?
Yup. Teeth whitening is on the agenda, for some day when I really have the money.
Do you laugh at your own jokes?
I laugh at everything. I consider it a sign of how much sorrow and despair there is in me. OMG that sounded so, like, EMO!!!11one1
What word instantly makes you smile/laugh?
FORK!
When eating, are you more concerned with taste or healthiness?
Taste by far. I really don't care if it kills me.
Do you find you're different talking through IMs than face-to-face or on the telephone?
I don't feel like I understand the question. I'm more honest in IMs, and I'm auditorily** "blind," so I avoid the phone.
**Apparently, this isn't a word.
How many phone numbers do you have remembered and can say off the top of your head?
Two or three. One of those being my own. Thank god I can save numbers in my cell.
What was the best Halloween costume you ever had?
Once I was a leopard. Once I was a vampire cat. I loved both of those. I wore the tails and ears around until my mother hid them.
Do you cry when you laugh?
I laugh because I don't cry. Laughing IS crying.
Can you limbo?
I doubt it. My back is fucked up.
You're a vampire; what's worse, never seeing a photo/reflection of yourself, never being able to eat or drink what's not blood, or never seeing sunlight again?
Hard one, but I think it's not seeing photos/reflections of myself. Not eating or drinking just seems like a pain, but I think over time it might be more bothersome.
Do you say random stuff like "I like Snickers" when you are having a conversation about something totally different?
I like soccer, actually. Peanuts are not good in candy bars.
Unless it's an Eat-More.
Have you ever cracked into somebody else's email?
If my mom leaves hers logged in by accident, I go through her mail and make sure she's not hiding big financial problems or something like that from me. Considering I'm the man of the family, she doesn't tell me much.
...She gets really boring mail though, so it's not a big thrill or anything.
Do spelling errors bother you?
If they're mine? It makes my skin itch. Someone else's? Not so much.
Name all Teletubbies right now:
The fag, the breeder boy, the dyke and the fag hag.
Sorry, I mean Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Po and La La. Or something like that.
Would you ever call someone a racist name?
Don't you mean a racist slur? And no, never. Well, maybe if you pushed me REALLY hard, I'd let slip with something intended to hurt. But I would only use it as a weapon, I can't imagine ever believing it.
Do you think Vlad is a cool name?
These days? He'd get beat up. It was cool once though, I think.
Did you know it is Dracula's first name?
I should, since I tried to read that book, but no.
What do you think is going to take over humans and rule the world?
Computers. Machines. Who saw T3, by the way?
What is your IQ?
HA! The question everyone lies on. Well, not everyone. But a lot of people - someone asked this in a thread on Gaia, and half the people who responded claimed 150 or higher - up to 180 something. Please.
I think it's around 130, but I'm not sure. I have some specific reasons for thinking that, but I won't get into it right now. I'm too damn tired.
Have you ever killed your own dinner?
I don't remember ever doing so. I went fishing once, so I guess if I had caught something, that would be a yes, but no - not yet.
Would you prefer a spork or a spoon and fork?
Sporks rock.
If you choke a smurf, what colour does it turn?
I vote lavender.
Papa Smurf: loveable grandfather or crack-selling pimp?
The who in the what now? I say the latter on general principle.
Favourite of the seven dwarves?
No idea. I think I used to like Grouchy. Or maybe that was Sleepy.
Do you like Wayne or Garth better?
Huh?
What do you think of gold teeth?
They're fugly. But cool if you want to look sleazy, slimy and nasty all at once. Add in some unshaven stubble and greasy hair. It scares little children, and that's always fun.
Ever laughed so hard that what you were drinking spewed out of your nose?
Nope, but likemhw, I HAVE vomited out my nose!
...That hurt.
Got milk?
I used to have a sign on my door that said, "Got ganja?" But it got destroyed, sadly.
Wasn't Josie and the Pussycats a stupid movie?
Probably. It was a stupic comic to begin with.
Wasn't Shrek an awesome movie?
Yeah! And I thought it would make a good date movie too, one that both guys and girls wouldn't mind seeing. So less argument about what to see. (What do you expect, I think like that cuz I like girls. /defensive)
What did you think of the movie Turner and Hooch?
The what?
Have you ever checked out your own arse?
Yes.
...*weeps*
What time did you wake up today?
Around 2 pm, why?
Have you ever dissected a frog?
Not yet, but I've dissected a cow's eye. That was so cool.
Do you eat to live or live to eat?
Eat to live.
Would you eat SPAM for £5?
I have no idea what you're talking about. But I moderate a Yahoo group, and trust me when I say I eat both the spam and the spammers for dinner and still have room for dessert.
What's your favourite kind of muffin?
Bran.
Would you like enough crackers to last you a year?
Not if that's all I get to eat, otherwise, sure.
Would you like enough beatings to last you a lifetime?
Had them.
kthanx.
Is the only way you can dance in a dark room with a strobe light?
No, but it's one of the better ways.
Have you ever written poetry?
Pfft, I've been writing poetry since I was seven. I still have some of it.
...Boy, is it ever awful.
What is the worst grade you have ever got on a test?
Probably zero. It was probably math.
And the best I've ever gotten was 100% plus bonus points. What's the point of this question?
How long have you been living at your current residence?
Um. A month?
Do you like children under 10?
Sometimes.
Have you ever babysat (outside your own family)?
Nope.
Have you ever fallen off a chair?
Sure. And when I was a kid, I used to tip my chair over backward (while I was in it) for fun. I was weird, all right.
Do you ever take stuff home with you from a hotel room?
Like, duh.
What is your dream kiss like?
I feel like you're speaking another language here.
The most romantic thing anyone has done for you was:
*stares silently*
Send me chocolate, maybe? I'm not sure...

Spam for £5, £ is the symbol for pound sterling, currency in the greater part of the UK with the exception of southern ireland where its some crazy thing that looks like and E.

Re: *rolls eyes*
Date: 2003-08-08 12:04 am (UTC)Yeah, I'd only say that because she's Tinky Winky's best friend, isn't she? I honestly don't know, I've only seen the show once. I was just being a smart ass.
And I know spam is meat, but I wasn't sure what sort of meat, so I went with the easier option to respond to.

Date: 2003-08-08 12:06 am (UTC)And yeah, I know it means pounds. :P The confusion was over what kind of spam the question was asking about, but I'm pretty sure it meant the meat. I don't care though, I have no opinion on the meat.
