2501. What image, scent, memory, etc. would you take with you into the dark/light, the land of dead, heaven, infinity....? [the cat] H, treading on my shoulder, purring, and rubbing her cheek against mine.
2502. Who is the most annoying musical artist EVER? Celine Dion
2503. If you HAD to go to one of the following concerts, which would it be:
2504. Do you believe in manifest destiny? In a sense, very much so.
2505. Have you ever fallen for an email forwarding hoax (send this to 13 people and Old Navy will send you a $200.00(100 pound) gift card)? Do you ever think 'well, maybe...' and actually forward those damn things? God, no.
2506. Let's say there are 2 schools, one for boys and one for girls. They are both supposed to offer the same facilities so that the girls and boys get equal education. Would you take this to mean that the same courses should be offered to both girls and boys or that the same amount of money should be spent on each school? Same courses: not necessarily. I wouldn't say that any two schools should out of hand offer exactly the same courses. Same money: definitely. It's up to the administration and its customers (i.e. students and parents, teachers, community in general) to determine the best use for the money that they have.Imagine that in the boys school fifteen boys sign up for calculus. In the girls school only five girls sign up for calculus. Should the girls calculus class be dissolved and replaced with an easier one? That assumes that girls don't sign up for calculus because it's "hard," which is a simplification of the analysis. While acknowledging that minimum class size is a consideration, I should think that five students is adequate to keep the class running.
2507. Would it bother you if you found out that the fruits, vegetables, and meat that you eat is genetically altered (in lots of cases it is!)? Bother? Yes. Inspire me to action? Probably not.
2508. What does this world need? A refresher course in basic common decency and the Golden Rule.
2509. Is there anything you do just because you want to even though it has no redeeming social value? I'm pretty fond of blogging for no good reason, but my real answer to this is 'animated television for adults.'
2510. If you drink what kind of drunk are you? If I'm with a lot of people, I'm fucking hilarious. If I'm with one person, I'm incapable of not talking too much. And if I'm alone, I'm almost inevitably morose.
2511. Do you ever 'conveniently' forget something you don't want to remember? Sure. Isn't that a basic human defense mechanism?
2512. If you have any cousins, are you close? I have 43 first cousins. 95% of them live in the county in which they were born, which is 250 miles away. I was the first to graduate from college...and law school...and graduate school. Most of them are married and have a number of children, and four have grandchildren. I am, without a doubt, a freak of nature in my family.
2513. Are you in love with yourself (your beautiful self)? I think I'm acceptable in most ways, but I certainly wouldn't go this far.
2514. What was the first movie you got on DVD? Much Ado About Nothing
2515. If you're sexy and you know it clap your hands. Did you clap? Uh, no. But mostly because I think this question/direction is very bizarre.

2517. Have you ever placed a personal ad anywhere? Not unless OkC counts, which I very much hope it does not.
2518. Do guys look good in make up? Certain of them, for the right reasons, with care - yup.

2520. What are you going to do until you die? Sit quietly and wait. What do you think?!
2521. What 'issue' do you think your opinion is so right about that you end up trying to sway others to your point of view? The difference between 650_0, 655_0 and 655_7. (Apologies and some envy to those who have no clue to what that refers!)
2522. What age do you hope to live until? The number doesn't matter. I'm reconciled.
2523. Do you like to tie others down during sex? Hee Have you ever been tied down? Hee hee
2524. Do you own any "toys"? Ha Do you ever use them? Ha ha
2525. Have you ever been spanked in that sexy way? Har Have you ever spanked anyone else? Har har
2526. Do these questions make you uncomfortable? My actual answers come closer to that descriptor than do the questions. Do you like that feeling? Whoever wrote this survey is incredibly juvenile and borderline stupid. Does it turn you on? Answering questions posed by some anonymous stupid person? Not so much.
2527. You know those ___ for dummies books (Computers For Dummies, Surfing For Dummies, Golf For Dummies, Wicca For Dummies)? Of course.Which one do you need to read? Financial Planning for Dummies.
2528. What do your socks look like? I'm not wearing socks. My feet look like the sexiest feet on the planet, of course. (My nails are "Russian Navy" today.)

2530. Does love float away if you let go? I damned well hope so.
2531. Do you think that most people in today's society are:
If you answered no to any of the above, why do you think that is? I'm sure I was overly generous with that account. Why aren't they peaceful and intelligent, etc.? Because they're lazy and untrained and will expend as little as possible in order to get what they want.
2532. Do you believe that every action has a sexual motive (think Freud)? No - and that's a vast oversimplification of his theories.
2533. Speaking of Freud, did you know he was on drugs (think cocaine)? Who wasn't?
2534. Do you trust psychology as a valid science? Yes. I don't trust all psychologists, but the science itself is as "valid" as physics and in a lot of ways a fuck of a lot less dangerous.
2535. ID: In Freudian theory, the division of the psyche that is totally unconscious and serves as the source of instinctual impulses and demands for immediate satisfaction of primitive needs (sex, food, aggressive behavior, drugs, alcohol, yelling, anger, fighting). SUPEREGO: In Freudian theory, the division of the unconscious that is formed through the internalization of moral standards of parents and society, and that censors and restrains the ego. So, which one do you express more, your Id or your Superego? As with most functioning adults, I obey my superego more often than not. Which do I "express" more, though? Id. Definitely.
2536. Do you think that people who are alone and depressed are depressed because they are alone or alone because they are depressed? Seeking solitude (or whatever alternate term you wish to use) can be both a symptom and a result of clinical depression.
2537. Can you complete any of the following lyrics: I stop and I stare too much, afraid that I care too much......And I hardly dare to touch, for fear that the spell may be broken (Depeche Mode - "Sweetest Perfection") You're a new and better man, he helps you to understand, He does everything he can, he's.... Took the needles from my arms and put them to the sky...Top Gun shut down your Firm like Tom Cruise.... Don't you take it so hard now, And please don't take it so bad....
2538. How about these? From around the way, born in '73, Harcore B-boy named... And this feeling shivers down your spine, Love comes in colors I can't deny.... Before he hung up the phone he took a deep breath, stopped, and replied.... When I want you in my arms, when I want you and all your charms, whenever I want you all I have to do is...Dre-eee-ee-am, dream dream dream (The Everly Brothers - "All I Have to Do") Silly games that you were playing, empty words we both were saying...
2539. Have you ever been to see a ballet? No
2540. What is the difference between Satan and Pan? The Cat explained this a zillion times better than I could, so I'll just say: Satan = red, Pan = green.
2541. What should a poem be or do if it is a successful poem? Depends on your definition of "successful." Critically? Personally? Financially?
2542. When you interpret a poem can each line mean anything you want it to? Probably not, unless it's far too vague to begin with.
2543. Are you an orgasm addict? Nah. More of a connoisseur. (WTF?!)
2544. Are you a sugar junkie? Nope
2545. WHAT are you DOING? Answering increasingly annoying and ridiculous questions while drinking tea and watching my landlord piss off the neighborhood by blocking the main street in town while he plows, sitting on my couch mid-morning because I have a snow day!!

2552. What are your feelings about: Picasso? The later stuff, I like. Van Gogh? Soothing, maybe? A sense of communion. Michaelangelo? Meh. Too much the Peyton Manning of art, for me. D'Vincci? [sic] Good God, a survey this long and you can't even spell check?! Einstein? Just thinking about it hurts my head. Tesla? The metal band is good.

2554. Who can you think of that made a major contribution to modern thought? Descartes

2571. If your partner collected internet porn pictures of celebrities s/he thought was hot would that bother you? "Collected" is trouble.
