“That Survey”

Filed under: Uncategorized — horselover_fat @ 5:46 am

1. First grade teacher’s name: Don’t remember. Second grade teacher’s name was Kay Holloway, but can’t remember first grade teacher’s name.

2. Last person you kissed: I kissed my children good night when they came to visit. Does that count?

3. Last word you said: “–you.”

4. Last song you sang: A few lines of “The Great Below”, if you count what I do as “singing”.

5. Last person you hugged: A co-worker. She just graduated and is moving/has moved to another state.

6. Last thing you laughed at: Can’t remember at the moment.

8. What’s in your CD player: Classic Queen. You get me the one time I don’t have NIN playing.

9. What socks are you wearing: My own.

10. What’s under your bed: Not really sure, don’t want to find out anytime soon.

12. Current taste: Chicken nuggets.

13. Current hair style: Very short (got haircut yesterday). Although to refer to it as a “style” is really being quite generous.

14. Current clothes: Jeans, shoes, no shirt (Hey, I just got off work, I’m trying to relax. Usually I’d be pants-less).

15. Current Job: I count money for the largest company in the known universe.

16. Current longing: Rest for my weary soul. And peace of mind. And love. But I’d settle for a new playstation.

17. Current desktop picture: That ugly light blue that windows starts you off with–being that I just formatted my computer.

18. Current worry: That I will not get financial aid for school.

19. Current hate: My job is the first thing that comes to mind. But it wouldn’t be too hard to come up with others.

20. Story behind your username: A coterie of religious seekers forms to explore the revelatory visions of one Horselover Fat; a semi-autobiographical dialogue of PKD. The groups hermeneutical research leads to a rock musician’s estate where they confront the Messiah: a two-year old named Sophia. She confirms their suspicions that an ancient, mechanical intelligence orbiting the earth has been guiding their discoveries.

21. Current favorite article of clothing: My “pwned” t-shirt

22. Favorite physical feature(s) of the opposite sex: The part of the neck that meets up with the shoulders and collarbone. And others…

23. Last CD that you bought: Why that would be NIN’s “With Teeth”. What a dumb question.

24. Favorite place to be: 1)Asleep or (a close second) 2)the Park

25. Least favorite place: Work.

26. Time you wake up in the morning: Morning? Ha! Try 2 or 3 p.m. buddy.

27. If you could play a new instrument, what would it be?: Guitar, electric or acoustic, doesn’t matter.

29. Current favorite word/saying: “Actually”

30. Favorite books: A coterie of religious seekers forms to explore the revelatory visions of one Horselover Fat; a semi-autobiographical dialogue of PKD. The groups hermeneutical research leads to a rock musician’s estate where they confront the Messiah: a two-year old named Sophia. She confirms their suspicions that an ancient, mechanical intelligence orbiting the earth has been guiding their discoveries.

31. Favorite Movies: “Sex, Lies, and Videotape” always tops my list. I would add to that: Seven, Requiem for a Dream, 2001. There are others of course.

32. Favorite Songs: Do we really have time for this right now? A lot of songs by Nine Inch Nails, a lot of songs by Tool, a lot of songs by Pearl Jam, a lot of songs by a whole lot of other people…

34. One person from your past you wish you could go back and talk to: Kim…no Clark…no Tan…no–Me! I’d kick his/my ass.

35. Favorite day: I’d have to go with my day(s) off from work for now, but during football season, it’s definitely Sunday.

36. Where do you want to go: Rome and Greece. Then Japan.

37. What is your career going to be: I was hoping you could tell me.

38. Enough to support a family someday? These questions are depressing.

39. What kind of car will you have: A solar powered hovercraft. Waitaminute, how far in the future are we talking about?

41. A random lyric: “All the spoils of a wasted life, all of this for you”.

DESCRIBE…

47. Your heritage: Well, my name is Irish. And I have some Native American ancestors. And some other stuff…hell if I know, I’m just another white guy.

48. The shoes you wore today: Some worn out New Balance jogging shoes. Cause they’re so comfortable.

49. Your hair: It’s short and brown with a gray(? I think) spot in the back and the occasional strand of reddish hair (on account of my Irish-ness).

50. Your weakness: I have often had trouble delaying gratification (That’s not what I mean, get your head out of the gutters).

51. Your fears: Well, most of them have come to pass, so I don’t know what else is left.

53. Your most recent secret: I don’t think I’ve had any recent secrets. Well, wait, there was that one time…

54. Your thoughts first waking up: 1) I can hit snooze for the next two hours (sadly, I’m not kidding) followed by 2)must…have…nicotine.

55. The first feature you notice in the opposite sex: That they almost all share a common disinterest in me.

56. Your bedtime: somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 a.m.

57. Your most missed companion: Clark.

58. Your perfect pizza: It’s all good. But pizza doesn’t agree with me much anymore.

59. Sweet and Chewy or Salty and Crunchy: Sweet and chewy.

60. Single or group dates: single, I guess. What’s a date?

61. Dogs or Cats: Neither at the moment nor in the forseeable future. But I’d have to say cats are easier to maintain and dogs are more fun to play with, so it’s a toss-up.

62. Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: Nestea, only cause it’s convenient.

63. Chocolate or vanilla: Chocolate.

64. Cappuccino or Drip: I have no idea what you are talking about.

65. Smoke: Is that an imperative statement? Because I don’t see a question mark. Are you telling me to go smoke. Okay, I will just to take a break from this long-ass survey

66. Curse: Is that another imperative? Okay: “Goddamn motherfucking sonofabitch”.

67. Sing: Now you want me to sing? No, I won’t do it. I’m not your monkey.

68. Take a shower everyday: I actually do, usually.

69. Have a crush: No. Yes. No. Well, maybe. But I’ve gotten over it. Or at least I’m working on it.

71. Think you’ve been in love: Yes.

72. Want to go to college: That’s the plan.

73. Want more than what you’ve got: Not really.

74. Want to get married: Been there, done that. Next question.

75. Type w/ your fingers on the right keys: Mostly it’s a hybrid of home keys and hunt and peck.

76. Think you’re attractive: Sometimes a little, and often not too much.

77. Think you’re a health freak: Although I try to live a somewhat healthy lifestyle, I am way to lax in my execution to be labeled a “freak”, I mean I smoke for crying out loud.

78. Get along with your parents: Well enough.

79. Play an instrument: Can’t. Wish I could. But can’t.

So there you go. The survey on Mary’s blog only had 79 questions, and David’s had 100. I, of course, went with the shorter one. I may do the last 21 questions later on, but they seem kinda redundant/pointless.

    Mary had to go to a job interview in the middle of hers… so you did the “I gotta cut this short” version. David and I hung in there and did the whole thing.

    [quote:c73530485d]Mary had to go to a job interview in the middle of hers…[/quote:c73530485d] Well that makes sense… Here are the final 21 answers: IN THE PAST 3 months: 80. drink: I’ve probably drank more in the last 3 months that I have in the previous three years 81.

Eaten an entire box of Oreos: Not in one sitting. Two or three sittings, yes. 86. Eaten sushi: No. 87. Been dumped: Er, no, not really.

Been called a tease: No. 96. Gotten beaten up: No 97. Changed who you were to fit in: No. 98. Cried at something beautiful: No. 99. Spent too much money on something you didnt need: I would have to say yes, because there are so many things I don’t “need”. 100. Cried when someone died: In the past three months: no. Ever in my life: yes. And for the record, I would officially like to change my answer to 64. I’m going to copy David’s answer, cause he said it best: [quote:c73530485d]64.

(yes, I kid).
