Stole this one from WIGSF, who stole it from Christielli. It’s got 69 questions. As WIGSF says, “Make your own jokes please. I can’t be bothered.”
1. The phone rings; who do you want it to be? The Lottery, saying I won a bazillion bucks.
2. When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart? Well I can’t take it home with me, now can I? So of course I do! I leave it in the middle of the parking lot like everyone else.
3. In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener? I’m more of the nod your head and smile and pretend you know what the hell is going on.
4. Do you take compliments well?. Depends on the compliment and who’s giving it to me. There are certain “compliments”, usually given by strange men, that I do NOT take well at all.
5. Do you play Sudoku? I hate numbers. I don’t even balance my checkbook.
6. If abandoned alone in the wilderness, would you survive? I’m smart, feisty, and have plenty of padding. I’d manage just fine.
7. Do you like to ride horses? I love the way a powerful, muscular thing feels between my legs.
8. Did you ever go to camp as a kid? Just once when I was six. I remember having a blast, until I got sunsick. Mom was not happy.
9. What was your favorite game as a kid? Pictionary and Operation.
10. If a sexy person was pursuing you, but you knew s/he was married, would you go for it? After being on the opposite end of the cheating spectrum, I won’t ever do that to another. I don’t see, date, or fuck cheaters. Period. And if I find out that a person I’ve been seeing is married or otherwise attached, he’s gone.
11. Have you lied to get out of a date? I haven’t, but sometimes I wish I did. Some dates are bad and you can see it coming before it even begins.
12. Could you date someone with different religious beliefs than you? Depends on the religion and how seriously he takes it. As an atheist, I could never date an evangelist, a mormon, or a muslim.
13. Do you like to pursue or be pursued? I loved WIGSF’s answer to this one: “I wish people would stop chasing me around with pitchforks and torches.” Can’t top that one. In the spirit this question was asked, my answer is neither. Dating should be mutual, a meeting of minds and bodies. The “chase” is a game, and I don’t play games.
14. Use three words to describe yourself? Cute, goofy, boring.
15. Do any songs make you cry?
From Le Miz; “On My Own” followed by “A Little Fall Of Rain” does it to me all the time.
16. Are you continuing your education? I might, in a couple years. Thinking of going back to trade or design school to get the certs and practice I’d need to become a bona fide jeweler/designer.
17. Do you know how to shoot a gun? Don’t like guns. Would rather use a sword.
18. If your house was on fire, what would be the first thing you grabbed? Wallet, blackberry, hearing aid, cat.
19. How often do you read books? As much as I can. Lately about two a week.
20. Do you think more about the past, present or future? I think about them all at once: I’m supertemporal, the next major evolutionary leap across the threshold of awesomeness.
