everything you'd ever want to know

1. What's worse? Liars or cheaters? Cheating is lying (i.e. failing to be true), and lying is cheating (i.e. gaining dishonestly), so it's a wash.
2. Is it easier to forgive or forget? For me, it's much easier to forgive. I have a memory that torments.
3. Can girls and guys be just friends? Yes
4. How do you feel about dating co-workers? Currently, I'd rather put my face in a blender. This is only because I've done it so much, and so stupidly, in the past.
5. What was your last meal? Special K w/Red Berries at 5:20 AM
6. If someone called you a bitch, would you be offended? Depends on whether I deserved it.
7. Are you okay with a boyfriend/girlfriend being friends with an ex? If I had one, it would depend on the circumstances. One of my ex-BFs spent a lot of time with a female friend who hated me and didn't fail to express that feeling to anyone who would listen - including my BF. When push came to shove, she was out, though primarily at his choice. Hearing someone disparage the person he'd selected and committed to date was not what he wanted at that time.
   
8. Would you live with someone without marrying them? Definitely. I think it's a necessity for me, though still quite prospective.
9. Favorite sport? To watch? Baseball.
10. Do you like diet soda? Not.
11. Do you squeeze toothpaste from the bottom or the middle? Mine is squeezed from wherever I grab it. Anyone else's is squeezed nicely from the bottom.
12. How do you feel about tanning booths? I avoid them.
13. Friends with benefits? I don't fuck my friends.
14. Would you rather take pictures or be in pictures? Take
15. What are your plans today? Finish the monster meme (while having tea & toast); fix pedicure; shower; lunch with Roberto!

17. Who did you hang out with last? Ulysses
18. What color looks best on you? Black

21. Who was the last person to text you and what was it about? Matt - we're seeing a movie on Monday night (postponed from last night).
22. Who has the sexiest accents? Midwesterners. After that - Australians, New Zealanders, and South Africans.

24. Where is your phone? On the dining room table, on its sock.

28. Favorite movie as a child? The Lorax
29. Where do you spend most of your money? Rent + student loans

31. Can you change a car tire? Yes, but I never have.

36. When was your last hug, and who? Last Friday night - Ulysses.
37. Did the last person you held hands with mean anything to you? I honestly cannot recall holding hands with anyone lately. It was probably my great-nephew, holding my finger in his whole fist - and he means more to me than I could possibly explain.
38. Do you sleep with the TV on? No. The quieter, the better, for me & sleep.
39. What are you doing right now? Answering questions, duh?!
40. Whose MySpace password do you have? I don't have anyone else's passwords for anything, except all logins for one of my employees at work (which she probably does not know).
41. Name what you did yesterday: I went to work, enjoying our annual "Staff Day", wherein we played Marketing Apprentice and learned about Parent/Child/Adult communications (brief version: adult = good; parent or child = not so much). We ate the world's crappiest scones (tasted like burnt flour) and World Famous Pizza and a ridiculous Edible Arrangement (fruit, displayed to look like a flower basket). Came home after 8 hours of that and promptly fell asleep. Woke a couple of hours later and started drinking, doing laundry and washing dishes. Went to bed fairly early, sleeping with the windows open for half the night because it was bleeping hot up here. The end.
42. Do you have a job? Last time I checked.
43. Are you dating the last person you kissed? Interestingly: no. The muddle surrounding this would make y'all's collective heads spin.
44. Have you ever been suspended or expelled from school? Nope
45. Is there someone you wanna date right now? Yes
46. Have you ever crawled through a window? Sure. Multiple car windows and several others.
47. Who knows a secret or two about you? Everyone currently reading this blog is privy to more than I would tell anyone else!

49. Ever have a sleepover with the opposite sex? When? Um, yeah. The last time was November, with that fuckface from Mad-town.
50. Olive Garden? ...always reminds me of The Cat being offered the chance to slap a waiter.
51. Are you closer to your mother or father? Depends on the day. Tomorrow around 11:00, I'll be in the same room with both.
52. Have you ever wanted to be a teacher? Not in any realistic sense. I've often wanted the power to fail someone, or to kick them out, or to leave a mark on their "permanent record," though.
53. Do you have trust issues? Yup. I trust too much or not enough - especially my own sense.
54. Would you live with someone without marrying them? I think that's required for me after all this.
55. Have your friends ever seen you cry? Yes. Everyone reading this (who I've met in person!) has seen me cry at least once. Some *many* more times than that.
56. Who was the last person you cried in front of? Matt, I think.
57. Have you ever wanted to strip naked in front of someone? Oh, hell yeah.

60. If you could pick one person to disappear from the planet, who would it be? My best friend from high school. She's become a pain in my ass.
61. Have you ever cried because of something someone said to you? Only all the time! Most recently: The Asking Man gave me some hard truths, somewhere around Christmastime.

63. Speaking of church, are you going to heaven or hell? Hell.

67. Do you miss someone right now? Very much so.
68. Have you ever told someone you love them and really meant it? Yes, I have.
69. Are you currently in a fight with someone? No. I'm not pleased with a work decision made in my absence by a coworker and my superior on Friday, but I have begun to deal with that. Otherwise: Sleek doesn't seem to get it.
70. Are you hungry? Nope; just finished my toast and am still slugging the tea.
71. Do you like scrambled eggs? They're OK, but they have to be cooked thoroughly (and I can define "thorough" for you, if you'd like).
72. If someone said to you that you could eat whatever you wanted and never gain a pound, but you had to stay the same weight forever, would you do it? Only if I could pick that weight, which is not my current.
73. Do you have any cobwebs in your bedroom? Doubtful; I've moved nearly all of the furniture in the apartment twice in the past month and a half.
74. Have you ever had a crush on a teacher? Yes. Most recently, somewhere around 2001.
75. Have you ever left someone a bitchy comment on Xanga? I don't think I've ever even been on Xanga. So, no.
76. What color are your sunglasses? Silver rims, dark gray lenses.
77. Are you interested in the Renaissance? No more so than any other time. It's too representational for my taste.

80. Do you like the color lilac? Not really.

94. What do you think of London (England)? Seems nice enough.

96. Do you get really depressed? Yup
97. When was the last time you were in a lot of trouble? I should have been last year around this time, when I was using the administrative override at work without knowing it. I mucked up some things, globally, without realizing it. Hee hee hee. Once I realized it, I put them back the way they were supposed to be. Surprisingly, none of the Big Brothers tracked me down and shot me. (I was expecting it!)
98. Have you ever written a love letter? Pardon me; I just had to pick myself off the floor after falling from my chair in a laughing fit. In other words: yes.
99. Does watching movies like The Day After Tomorrow make you fear for your life? No. It's a movie, for God's sake!

113. What band sucks mad balls live? ... Sorry, I just got a little distracted by "sucks mad balls." That's a good one. Anyway, I'm not a big fan of live concerts; fear of heights inhibits the degree to which they can be enjoyed.
114. Don't hypocrites make you mad? Not nearly so much as do stupid questions.
115. But wouldn't hating hypocrites make you a hypocrites yourself? Yes. It would.
116. Ever had to use the petals on a flower to decide your love life? Not "to decide my love life," but to determine whether a particular individual shares or rejects my warm feelings. It's as useful as any other method to determine that.
117. Those flowers don't work, do they? Sure. As much...as indicated above.
118. Are remixes better than the original song? Some of them are pretty good. I like "Throw Your Arms Around Me" when done by pretty much anyone (especially The Ten Tenors), and Eddie Vedder's "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" is awesome - I like it much better than the Beatles' version.
119. Have you ever tried Edy's Dibs? No, but they look awesome. And messy.
120. Do you have your own mug? Describe it: I have so many mugs that I've packed more than half of them away in the closet so they're not taking up space in my limited kitchen. I'm using this one today:
     
121. What, in your opinion, is the best cough medicine flavor? I don't like cough medicine. At all.
122. Do you own one of those pens with a million different colors in one? No; I'm not fond of pens with extra-thick barrels.
123. If you had to kick one member out of your favorite band, who would you kick out? You can't break up the band, Yoko!
124. Does Hooters actually exist in your town? Ever been to one? No, and no. Had a great discussion with The Cat about it, though.

134. Would you ever dump your friends to be rich? No; my friends are what make me feel blessed now.
135. Would you ever say I love you to someone to make someone else jealous? I used to do that with one of the cats, when the other was behaving badly. It didn't seem to have an effect on the behavior patterns, and only increased their infighting. So: no.
136. Do you really love your boyfriend/girlfriend? Don't even fucking ask me about love. What do I know about love?!
137. If you were on an island, what is one thing you couldn't live without? Sunscreen
138. Would you ever date someone on your top right now? There is no one on my top; I'm home alone. Understanding that this refers to the exclusive list on MySpace and/or Facebook, I would say that it's the equivalent of dating someone who comments here, since y'all are my "top". Answer, then? No.
139. Do you like someone on your top? I like them all.
140. Are you dating anyone on your top? No. No. No.
141. Have you ever told someone they are skinny, but they were fat? No. I'm not a fantastic liar with stuff like that, and why would they believe me anyway?
142. Do you really care about global warming? Yes
143. Did you ever lie to your boyfriend/girlfriend? I have, with BFs in the past. It can come back to bite.

145. Do you really like school? Yes
146. Do you really love your parents? Yes
147. Do you lie on MySpace? No, nor on OkC. What's the point?

158. What was the last song stuck in your head? "Broken" (Lifehouse) - it's on right now.

178. Do you pray at your dinner table? I pray whenever and wherever I feel like it.
179. Does your clock make noise? The one in my office (where I am right now) is very loudly tick-y. Otherwise, no.
