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…

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

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.

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

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.

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.
Ron.
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.
my teacher isn’t the same as mary’s btw. not sure who she was… nor is my hair pink, nor will it ever be.
[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. Smoke: Again with the smoking. What do you think? 82. Done a drug: Other than nicotine, alcohol, caffeine and ibuprofen; no nothing illegal. 83. Made Out: No. 84. Go on a date: No. 85. 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. I don’t think my wife moving out counts as dumping me, since we had pretty much agreed to go our separate ways. 88. Made homemade cookies: If the pre-made cookie dough that you just put in the oven counts, then yes. Otherwise no. 89. Been in love: Do we still have the three month stipulation? If so, then no. 90. Gone skinny dipping: In the last three months: no. Before then: no. 91. Dyed your hair: No. 92. Stolen anything: No. HAVE YOU EVER.. 93. Had too much to drink: I guess, maybe, but I don’t think so. (Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt). 94. Been caught cheating: No. (I don’t like the wording of this one, it implies that one may have cheated, but just didn’t get caught). 95. 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. Cappuccino or Drip: fwhat?[/quote:c73530485d] Ron.
[quote:4bcaa22943=”Arglor”]my teacher isn’t the same as mary’s btw. not sure who she was… nor is my hair pink, nor will it ever be.[/quote:4bcaa22943] I didn’t really think that your hair was pink, not that it would be an issue to begin with. actually, i think you’d like quite nice with some pink highlights or something. (yes, I kid).
I thoroughly enjoyed your responses. They made me laugh after a horrid day—Field Day at the school.
just wanted to say, ron, i love your new icon. FWHAT!??!
