every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end

1. You are alone. You take a bus to the mall. The stop is right in the mall parking lot. You window-shop. You don't buy anything. You want to get back on the bus to go home when you realize you have lost all your money. You have no cell phone. All the payphones are jammed with gum. You can not get it out. How do you get the $1.50 you need to get on the bus and get home? I start walking
2. How long would it take you to organize your bedroom? "organize"? Maybe half an hour.
3. Make up a nickname for your bedroom: the sex dungeon (don't worry, it's a joke!)
4. 
   Where ARE the wild things? part of one of them is hanging from my office door... 
5. You get a six CD changer for the car, only problem is that you know that once you put in six CD's you can NEVER take them out. Which 6 CD's do you put in? probably some of the mix CDs that I've made? 
6. Let's play Jeopardy. (Do-Do-Do-Do-Do-Do-Dooooo-) I'll give some answers..you give the questions. Ready? Begin. The answer is:
   ...Purple: what color am I going to polish my toenails next?
7. ...Yellow: in what color would I never buy a car?
8. ...Candle: if you have a bell and a book, what's the last thing you need?

15. Pick a letter. List some great words starting with that letter: Jerky, jacks, jujitsu, jimmyjohns, joviality
16. Is eight days a week enough to show you care? honey, one day a week can get it done, if that's what you're given
17. Have you told your parents you love them today? nope, but Easter was Sunday
18. What is the difference between a number two pencil and any other kind of pencil? presumably the density of the lead?
19. Have you ever cross-dressed? not exactly
20. Are we living in a world without end? ehm, nooo
21. Wanna watch a movie about a cheerleading competition? not at the moment, thank you
22. Are you singing in the rain? I wish! It's been snowing since just a little after I woke this morning. There was maybe 3" on my sidewalk when I got home from work but it's up to more like 8" now. Rain sounds freaking AMAZING!
23. Is oral sex, anal sex, or regular sex more intimate? if you think that is the issue...don't do any of it, please
24. Is it time to switch to decaf? I wish I could decide who gets the caf and who gets the decaf - that would make my life so much better
25. Why is it that the truth hurts? because we go through our lives both seeking and hiding from the truth. When we are particularly adept at hiding from it, then it comes as a bigger shock.
26. How do you feel about:
    ...Ticketmaster? it's a necessary evil
27. ...scalpers? it's obvious theft
28. What are you guilty of? tentativeness. Imagination. Distraction. Avoidance. Awkwardness.
29. Have you ever done any of the following in order to catch a buzz or get high?

38. If you don't like the service at a restaurant would you skip the tip? Why or why not? I've never completely stiffed a waiter or waitress, because they can't tell whether you forgot or did it on purpose. It's much more effective to leave a tip that is so nominal that your message is crystal clear.
39. Apples or peaches or pumpkin pie? peaches

43. Are you having trouble with aol 8.0? Or, if you don't have aol...have you ever been to a podiatrist? what a bizarre combination. Does anyone use AOL anymore? Yes, I've been to a podiatrist. Nice guy.
44. If you could write your own ten commandments, what would they be? the first ones are hard enough to follow. Why make new ones?

46. Your mate/partner/wife or husband/long-term boy- or girlfriend/etc. has somehow gotten his or her favorite celebrity's attention. Your sweetie has always thought this celeb was so sexy and now the celeb kinda fancies your sweetie as well (although the celeb is not interested enough to stick around for more than one night). Your sweetie wants to have a one night stand with the celeb. Knowing that this is your sweeties one and only chance to bang (or even hang out with) a celebrity (especially their favorite celebrity) you would say: "Why are we acting out the plot of Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!?"
47. Have you ever seen an Ed Wood film? If yes, what one(s) and what did you think? If no, aren't you curious to see a movie by the person known as the worst director of all time? no, his films do not appeal to me
48. What kind of bread do you like to eat (white, rye, potato, grain, whole wheat, etc)? it's the rare bread that I will not eat
49. Are you emotionally articulate? I think so? It's a hard thing for a person to say about themselves, though, and recently dwindling friendships indicate that I must be doing something pretty wrong.

53. Can you think of a door that has closed in your life? obviously.
54. Can you think of a window that has opened? yeah

56. Do you believe that necessity is also the mother of:
    ...courage? no, courage is facing fear
57. ...survival skills? survival skills are learned behaviors
58. ...independence? independence is an inherent trait that can be emphasized or deemphasized over time
59. What helps you to get over a major heartache? very. good. question
60. Can you depend completely upon yourself? not "completely"
61. Have you ever tried? I try, yes
62. How can you tell the difference between the end of one part of your life and the beautiful beginning of the next part? you mean like the song? No, I don't think that most of us are graced with that sort of vision.
