The Things I Find On My Computer

I was looking through my blog folder on my computer and ran across some survey that I neglected to post. Since I have an idea for a new blog entry, but I haven't done anything with it yet, I'll leave this for now. This was from back in March. The updates are in italics.

Tired of all of those surveys made up by high school kids?
Here are 50 questions for the people who are a little more “mature”…
You know the drill......

1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
The car, because it is a piece of shit and totally not worth the payments. This is still true. We just spent another $200 for NOTHING! Car still stalls and the engine light has not turned off. One more year....

2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
Romance is dead when you’re a parent. The last time we went out to dinner by ourselves was when we were in California. We visited the ill doggie at the hospital and then bought dinner at the food court in Capitola Mall.

3. Last time you went to the movies?
July. The Dark Knight. Awesome. We saw "Up" yesterday, and "Star Trek" three weeks before that. Both spectacular movies, but my husband and I were more enamored with "Up" than the boy was. Go figure.

4. When is the last time you got drunk and danced on a bar?
I have a picture that says, “As usual, I’m drunk and full of pills.” This is true. So….drunk all the time, and I’ve never danced on a bar, just the dance floor. Sigh. Still drinking. MORE if you can believe that.

5. Name of your first grade teacher?
Ms. Cuntyface Manders. I hated her, she hated me. The end.

6. What do you really want to be doing right now?
Road tripping.

7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
Astronaut. Ha.

8. How many colleges did you attend?
Two: Hartnell and Monterey Peninsula.

9. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
Ummmm….because it was clean.

10. If you could move anywhere where would you go?
The desert.

11. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
It didn’t. No alarm. I woke up cramped on my son's bed because he's taken the habit of wanting me to sleep with him. I'm trying to nip it in the bud before it gets too crazy.

12. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
I was hallucinating about things that actually made sense in my life. Go figure. I need to stop giving in to my son.

13. Favorite type of music?
Mostly 80s stuff.

14. Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Sleep, drink….errrm, that’s about it. Those only happen at night, obviously. Daylight hours consist of spending time with the boy and exercising.

15. What errand/chore do you despise?
Cleaning the kitchen. I hate this kitchen with the fury of a thousand suns.

16. Get up early or sleep in?
I wish I could motivate myself to get up early, but I can’t.

17. What is your favorite cartoon character?
Brian the dog from “The Family Guy”. He reminds me of me.

Not a damned thing.

19.What do you miss most about college?
Learning about things that *I* wanted to learn about.

20.When did you first start feeling old?
I don’t. I may be a giant schizo freakazoid, but I don’t feel any older. Physically, I know my body is aging, and if I would just take care of it, I’d be fine. I’m lazy though.

21.Favorite 80’s movie?
Sixteen Candles.

22.Your favorite lunch meat?
Roast beast or pastrami.

23.What do you get every time you go into Sam’s Club? Or Walmart?

Lakes have beaches, fool.

25.Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual?
Obviously not, since I’m married.

26.Favorite guilty pleasure?
America’s Next Top Model. Shut up.

27.Favorite movie you wouldn’t want anyone to find out about?
I’m pretty open with what I watch, but if you want a semi-qualifying movie, I’ll say “Fools Rush In” starring Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek.

28.What’s your drink?
Hacienda Vieja tequila or George Dickel #8 Whisky. TaB is good, too. I have discovered the wonders of Svedka Vodka as well.

29.Cowboys or Indians?
Native Americans.

30.Cops or Robbers?
Cops. They have tasers and guns and other fun things.

Just the few people that I still talk to from high school.

Probably the classic rock station.

No.

I’m reading “Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places” by Brad Steiger right now. "The Firebrand" by Marion Zimmer Bradley, "The Language of God" by Dr. Francis Collins, and "Darwin's Black Box" by Michael Behe. Yeah, I'm still searching for belief. It comes and goes.

40.Strangest place you have ever brushed your teeth?
Kearney, NE. What? That town is scary after dark (which is usually when we arrive), and every time we’ve stayed there, there have been major storms.

41.Somewhere in California you’ve never been and would like to go?
Yosemite. No, I’ve never been there, and yes, I’m a native Californian.

42.What is your favorite sport to do?
Ass sitting. Working out on my Wii Sports Active game.

Two or three in the morning. Don’t sleep very well anymore. It's improved. One or two now, sometimes even midnight!

Shyeah.
