123. Would you want to go to the gym together with friends? maybe one or two of them. I'm not big on group exercise.

125. Have you ever been disappointed in your idol? no idols
127. Do you ever look up your old friends or classmates online? in law school each year we were given a printed directory of all the students, faculty and staff with photographs and contact info. It was marginally helpful at the time for things like
setting up study groups. The best part, though, was its nickname: The Stalker's Guide. Even the profs called it that.

128. What kind of stuff do you miss from when you were younger? kickball. My kitties. Holding hands on the sly with my crush. Playing in the sandbox. Driving for hours on weekend nights with my BFF riding shotgun. Eating at Happy Chef. Going to Cubs games. Sleeping til noon every chance I got...
129. What’s the longest you have gone without sleep? a day and a half, maybe?

I absolutely believe in throwing out my own trash and returning a tray, that sort of thing. But no, I'm not going to tidy up crumbs that have fallen. Tables need to be cleaned between customers.
