The Grown Up Survey

The "Grown Up" Survey
(Meant to be completed by those out of high school)

Tired of all of those surveys made up by high school kids?
'Have you ever kissed someone?'
'Missed someone?'
'Told someone you loved them?'
'Drank alcohol?'
Here are 50 questions for the people who are a little more "mature"...

1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
*** Any of them! Well no, mostly Visa because I know it's my own stupid fault. GAH!

2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
*** The only place I've ever had a "romantic" dinner is at Boston Pizza. It was for Valentine's Day, this year.

3. Last time you puked from drinking?
*** Never actually. I don't do alcohol. Ever. At all.

5. Name of your first grade teacher?
*** Carol Matchett

6. What do you really want to be doing right now?
*** Watching some sort of movie with a very specific someone. Or watching said someone play a game. Or walking in French Fort Cove with same said someone. Heck, I just want to BE with said someone. Who cares what we do?

7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
*** It varied time and again. I wanted to be a veterinarian, a teacher, a pastor, a missionary, a Giant Panda caretaker in China, an astronaut, a scientist. Now I just want to be me. It's easier.

8. How many colleges did you attend?
*** Not a single one. Well, that's not actually true. I spent two summers in an immersion program at Universite De Sainte-Anne in Point De L'Eglise, Nouvelle Ecosse. IE: Sainte Anne University, Church Point, Nova Scotia.

9. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
*** It's my pajamas.

10. GAS PRICES?
*** *FLAILING INSANELY* 115.4! GAH! STUPID IDIOTIC MORONS WHO CAN'T MAKE ELECTRIC AND OR HYBRID CARS AFFORDABLE!

12. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
*** What? Where... ahh... I wanted to finish that dream, psychotic thing though it was!

13. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
*** I hope I sleep all night for once.

14. Favorite style of underwear?
*** Not holey.

15. Favorite style of underwear for the opposite sex?
*** Uh, same?

16. What errand/chore do you despise?
*** Dishes.

17. If you didn't have to work, would you volunteer?
*** Definately. Maybe. I like to think I would at any rate.

18. Get up early or sleep in?
*** Depends on the day & what I'm doing & when I got to bed. I like early morning best of any time of the day, BUT I don't like getting up early.

19. What is your favorite cartoon character?
*** Hmmm. Uh, probably Garfield or Snoopy. No, definately Garfield all the way.

20. Favorite NON sexual thing to do at night with a girl/guy?
*** Sleep? What kind of question is that? I'm generally asleep at night!

21. Have you found real love yet?
*** What exactly is real love? Is there any other kind of love? I don't understand the question!

22. When did you first start feeling old?
*** A few years ago. I'm only turning 24 tomorrow, so I'm not really old, but none the less, when you meet a kid that's hardly an inch shorter than you when they used to be hardly up to your elbow, you start to feel old.

23. Favorite 80's movie?
*** I don't really know any. I really liked Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Is that an 80's movie? And I just checked www.imdb.com and it released in 1988, so that's the one, all the way.

24. Your favorite lunch meat?
*** Chicken. Way.

25. What do you get every time you go into Sam's Club? Or Walmart?
*** What's Sam's Club? Walmart varies. Usually bandaids or Pepto Bismol caplets though.

26. Beach or lake?
*** I like both, but I prefer the ocean to a lake, so Beach.

27. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual?
*** *cackling insanely* Oh yes, so outdated. *rolling about as I cackle now* Ha. No, to put it politely.

28. How many people do you stalk on Facebook?
*** Quite a few I'm sure.

29. Favorite guilty pleasure?
*** Buying all those games & movies & books that I know I'll never touch once I own them.

30. Favorite movie you wouldn't want anyone to find out about?
*** That arises a problem. Everybody knows all about my favourite movies. Fantasy, The Polar Express, Historical Fiction, Most things Christmas or Animated.

31. What's your drink?
*** Child friendly Shirley Temple's. Coming back to the whole, I don't do alcohol. At all. Ever.

32. Cowboys or Indians?
*** Indians all the way. That's totally not the politcally correct way to word it though, I hope you all know that!

33. Cops or Robbers?
*** Nobody has the right to take other people's stuff without permission, so cops. Maybe. I know a few at any rate & I don't think I know any robbers.

34. Who from high school would you like to run into?
*** Gracious. Kathy. Tara. Jennifer. Aaron. Sammy. Danielle. I dunno. Any of the ones I was friend's with I suppose.

37. The Cosby Show or the Simpsons?
*** The Cosby Show! Way!

39. Do you like the person who sits directly across from you at work?
*** I don't sit across from anybody at work? I like all the people I work with at any rate, some more than others I'm sure, but that's pretty typical.

40. If you could get away with it, who would you kill?
*** Every spider that I ever stumble across. There's only one person who drives me crazy on a regular basis but I don't want to kill them.I'd be happy with only seeing them once every couple decades. That'd be better than death!

41. What famous person(s) would you like to have dinner with?
*** Sir Ian McKellan, J.K Rowling, Johnny Depp, Judi Dench, Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke, Jean Little, O.R Melling

42. What famous person would you like to sleep with?
*** If you mean sleep as in just plain sleep, any of the people listed above I guess. If you mean sleep as in the way I know that you do, not one of them. If I have my way, there'll only ever be one person who gets that out of me & that's whoever ends up being my husband. And he won't get it till there's been a proper wedding either.

43. Have you ever had to use a fire extinguisher for its intended purpose?
*** nope. Well, yes, but I didn't have one handy so I just grabbed the cat and ran downstairs, after shutting the stove off, as smoke rises and I didn't want to be in the hospital for smoke inhalation.

44. Last book you read for real?
*** What'd you mean for real? How can you read a book for pretend? Honestly!? I'm in Harry # 4 right now.

45. Do you have a teddy bear?
*** Several, yes, only she's a Panda.

46. Strangest place you have ever brushed your teeth?
*** In the car?

47. Somewhere in California you've never been and would like to go?
*** Heck, anywhere!

48. Do you go to church?
*** As regularly as I can. Not that it means much.

49. At this point in your life would you rather start a new career or a new relationship?
*** I'd totally like a new relationship. Considering that everybody I know is in a relationship of sorts with me, that would mean that I'd met somebody new & made a new friend. As for the sort of relationship I know perfectly well that you mean, I like the one I'm in. I don't plan to leave it any time soon. At the same time, I like my current career as well & don't plan to leave it any time soon either. Sorry. Neither, thanks.

50. Just how OLD are you?
*** I will be 24 years old on May 25th, 2007 at 8 pm.

Cheers to you! Cake & cookies too!

Dearest My Peeps,

Rather than sending out a mass email, or something like that, I figured I'd just put it in my blog. I dunno how legit it is, but just in case, I'll post it. Cheers!

Random Nothings

Dearest My Peeps,
Hi. I'm just dropping by for a short line before I go to work this evening. Not too awful much is new with me. I totally spent the weekend with my Patrick, that was nice. We went down to his folks place for the weekend because one of his high school friends was getting married. It was a nice wedding, short & sweet too. The reception was fun too.

We even took in Spiderman 3 on Friday night. I really liked it. Everybody else seems to have hated it except for me & Patrick, but whatever. I've never been into the comics at all, so that helps. The most common complaint is that there wasn't enough Vemon. But not having read the comics, I really don't know. He seemed well done to me at any rate. The acting was way improved from the 1st one too. James Franco did a MUCH better job than I expected. I suspect that might be partially to do with all the movies he's been in lately though. The more you act, the better you get... at least, logically. I'm sure there could be an exception to that rule that I don't know about too.

Other than that, nothing much to report. I have a hair appointment on Friday. The first one in ages on end too. I'm looking forward to that. So I'll stop now, so I don't end up babbling needlessly again. Have a super day!

Cheers to you! Cake & cookies too!
God Bless
