Favorite
Smells: The
smell of play-doh right after opening a new container!
Least
Favorite Smells:
Those damned bodies after a couple weeks stuffed into my closet.
If only my no-good-landlord would offer better sanitation pickup...
Worst
Feeling in the World: I
was going to say feeling alone. But then I remembered that sliding
down an enormous cheese grater naked is pretty bad too. So then I
figured: sliding down an enormous cheese grater naked... and having no
one to share it with.
First
Thing You Think of When You Wake up in the Morning:
Where am I, who the heck are all these people, why am I wearing the nurses
uniform, and where the hell did that goat come from?
Favorite
Color: I
have two: infrared and ultraviolet. They're all I wear...
How
MAny Rings Before You Answer the PHone:
Negative one. I like to surprise people...
Future
Child's Name:
I've given this one a lot of thought. There's a lot of power in names,
one shouldn't chose one lightly. The wrong name can screw up a child's
entire life. So I've definitely decided on Beelzebub. Though
if it's a boy...
What
is the Most Important Thing in Life:
Some sentimental people would say friends. But I'm an independent.
And some pragmatic people would say money, but I'm not greedy. I
know what's really important: friends with money.
Favorite
Food:
Anything cooked by someone else.
Do
You Like To Drive Fast:
Only when there are flashing red and blue lights behind me.
Do
You Sleep With a Stuffed Animal:
Never! Unless no one else is available. Or during thunderstorms.
Or when my night light has burned out...
Storms:
Cool or Crazy: Thunderstorms?
Scary. Energy storms that rip fabrics into space and time: fucking
awesome!
First
Car: A
red MG Midget convertible. It sounded like a lawnmower and started
shaking uncontrollably when I drove it too fast (say...over 35mph).
For most of the time it had no top and no windshield wipers, during one
of humboldt's rainiest seasons (i.e. winter, spring, summer, or fall).
I had to drive soaking wet with a washcloth in hand to wipe the rain off
the windshield at every stop just so I had 10% visibility. It was
the coolest car I've ever owned.
If You Could Meet One Person, Living Or Dead, Who Would it Be? The living one. The dead one wouldn't be much of a conversationalist.
Favorite Alcoholic Drink: How about my favorite alcoholic drink quote:
"A
woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her."
-W.C.
Fields
and for the teetotalers:
Abstainer:
a weak person who yields to the temptation of denying himself a pleasure.
... Ambrose Bierce
What
is your Zodiac:
Jokko the Jester
Do
You Eat Broccoli Stems: Only
when I can't get my hands on a few rusty nails and a side order of glass.
What
is Your Ideal Job: 24
hours a day, 7 days a week, being paid to be me. (It's better than
my Guidance Counselor's suggestion: Professional Car Starter for People
in the Witness Protection Program)
If
You Could Dye Your Hair Any Color: Plaid
Ever
Been in Love: Yeah,
but it never worked out. Story as old as time. Irreconcilable
differences. I wanted to take things a bit more seriously, she wouldn't
drop the restraining order. You know how it goes.
Is
the Glass Half Empty or Half Full:
Doesn't matter, the smart person just gets the waitress to refill the damned
thing and stop worrying about it.
Favorite Movie: Ethel the Aardvark Goes Quantity Surveying
Do You Type the Right Way: Depends. Is "with my feet" right or wrong?
What is Under Your Bed: A 9 foot purple monster named Stanley. He used to sleep on top of the bed but he kept hogging all the covers
Favorite Sport to Watch: Ferret Legging. Two men wearing loose fitting pants tied shut at the ankles, each drops several frantic ferrets down his pants. Last one standing wins. IF you can call it "winning".
Will Anyone Notice that You Stole These Questions From a Cheesy Internet Survey?: Only if they're not blind and possesing the IQ of your standard desert topping.
