Hello, I’m Procrastinating, nice to meet you.

401. Some say that high school is the best time of your life. Was that true for you? Er, not particularly, no. Could have been worse, of course, but it wasn’t overly pleasant.
402. What do you find yourself encouraging others to try? Thinking outside of the box(es)! And vegan food. lol
403. Which is better: Mel Brooks or Woody Allen? Woody Allen!
404. When was the last time you were up all night? A couple of months ago.
405. __ is life. The rest is just details. Fill in the blank. Life.
406. Are people too complex and different to be categorized? Humans like to categorise. We’ve been doing it for a very long time. So, even if people really are too complex and different to be categorised, we’d still find ways of doing it. For example, by calling them ‘complex’ and ‘different’…
407. Is it good to have pride in your own race or does that separate people from each other because it makes them think of everyone else as ‘outsiders’? I don’t really like the term ‘race’. However, having pride in one’s ethnicity and/or culture is acceptable to me, as long as people don’t have an attitude that their ethnicity/culture is somehow superior to all others.
408. What fictional story would you like to live through? Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
409. Are cats or dogs smarter? They’re both smart, sometimes in different ways though.

411. What teacher, if any, has effected you the most in your life? No one springs to mind, really.
412. Are you more easily bored or excited? Bored.
413. What’s the bravest or most daring thing you have ever done? Faced some pretty big fears and gotten over them/am in the process of getting over them.
414. “What’s the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking?” (- Adam Ant) Ha, try telling that to today’s materialistic society.
415. If your man or woman served you breakfast in bed as a treat what would you want to eat? Um, yeah. Duh.
416. What do you do only when you are upset? I’m not sure if there is anything that I only do when upset.
417. What’s the oddest CD in your collection? God, um, hm. Odd as in what? Weird? Out of place next to all the other ones? I’ve got one of African tribal drum instrumentals that was recorded at an actual tribe’s celebration or whatever. It’s a little weird AND doesn’t really fit with all the others.
418. What’s the best screen name you ever saw? None. Most of them suck.
419. What would your friends be surprised to learn about you? Probably not much…
420. Who owes you an apology? No one.
421. Who deserves an apology from you? Hopefully no one?
422. How would you like to treat your kids differently from the way your parents treated you? Different ways of disciplining to them, probably. I’ll probably be a bit stricter, too.
423. Which do you like best: 60’s, 70’s or 80’s fashion? Sixties.
424. What is the worst pick up line ever used on you? I don’t think anyone ever actually has. Not seriously, anyway.
425. Of the following, which word best describes you: inventive, kinetic (energetic), light-hearted, mature Mature? Maybe light-hearted-yet-mature, a bit inventive and energetic sometimes?
426. Do you own a record player? No. I find this very tragic.
Do you use it? N/A
427. How easily do you make friends? Not very.
428. What is the difference between having character and being a character? Having character is bit more all-round in terms of WHO you are, whereas being a character is more in terms of how funny you are. Or something.
429. Are there any animals you flat out refuse to touch? Not that I’m currently aware of.
430. Do you care about your weight? Yes, but not enough to actually do anything serious about it. Haha.
431. Did you/will you go to the prom? No, I didn’t.
432. Have you ever wanted to date twins? No. Doesn’t do anything for me.
433. What one thing would you change about high school if you could? Less hermit, more fun.
434. If you came with a warning label, what would it say? Don’t press the red button or the sky will fall on your head.
435. Are you artistic and creative? Yes. I find it difficult to deal with life (sometimes) if I don’t have some kind of creative project going.
436. What were you (probably) doing on this date last year? I don’t know. I can’t even recall which part of the country I was in. :/

442. Is a prenuptial agreement necessary or does it take the romance and trust out of marriage? Realistically it’s probably a good idea, particularly if you both have a lot of assets of your own. I don’t really see marriage as being all that romantic in and of itself, so yyyyeah.

448. If it were legal would you own a human slave (race unimportant)? Nope.
449. Have you ever read your own writing at a poetry reading? No. I’m definitely not a poet.
450. What is one simple thing that gives you the happy shivers? The laughter of my nieces and nephews, or any child, really. Kids’ laughter is the best. I really do not know how anyone can not find a baby in hysterics absolutely gorgeous! It’s the cutest thing!

5000 question survey 2 Comments

351. Have you ever lost something and never found it? Yes, but I can’t remember what it was. Obviously wasn’t very important then.
352. Do you listen to any talk radio shows? I hardly ever listen to the radio, but when I do I sometimes catch some interesting talk back on bFM. Otherwise I don’t really enjoy talk radio shows that much. Half the time I find myself disagreeing so vehemently that I want to tazer people or throw the radio against a wall.
353. Who do you trust more, your friends or your parents? My parents, though I think it would depend on the situation.
354. Would you ever date someone outside of your race or religion? Yes and yes.
355. Which of the 7 deadly sins in the worst (gluttony, greed, pride, lust, envy, wrath, sloth)? Greed.
356. Which one are you most guilty of? Hahaha, lust or sloth.
357. Are you afraid to be alone with yourself? No, I can be quite solitary at times and that suits me fine when I’m in that sort of mood.
Do you try to avoid thinking? Wouldn’t I then just be thinking about not thinking?
358. Would you venture to tell someone you loved him or her if they didn’t say it first? Yes.
359. What are you the most sensitive about? My academic achievements.
360. What can you talk about for hours? Absolute crap. Or people (not in a nasty way, but in a why-do-people-do-that sort of a way).
361. Do you talk about yourself, other people, or ideas the most? Fairly balanced between them all.
362. Do you believe that spell casting can work? I don’t know. Perhaps it works because one believes it will.
363. Are you a fan of The Legend of Zelda games? Never played.
364. What old movie would you go see if it were re-released in the movie theaters? Pretty much anything with Paul Newman in it.
365. Is there a celebrity that you would be too starstruck to talk to if you met them? I have no idea. I might go all melty over Johnny Depp though.
366. Have you ever left a mean anonymous comment or unsigned note? Probably when I was younger. I don’t exactly remember.
367. What kind of myspace buletins annoy you the most? I don’t use MySpazz.
368. What are three things that you try not to think about?
1) How little time I have to complete certain things (better to just get on with completing them).
2) When I’m angry, whatever is making me angry.
3) Blah. I don’t really like avoiding thinking about things. It’s not very productive or helpful in the long run.
369. Is casual sex acceptable for you? If it’s safe, yes.
370. What form of sexual protection do you use? Oh my God, I totally don’t want to answer this in case family reads it! How embarrassing! LOL
371. What is expected of you that you feel is unnatural or not right? That I should fit into a certain role as a woman. While there are things women are traditionally “supposed to do” that I am not opposed to having in my own life (e.g. children), there is still this general expectation for women to fit into a certain mold. It used to be that we had to get married, pop out babies and do whatever our husbands said. Not we have to have a career, still eventually get married and pop out babies, be strong independent women while still being very feminine and sacrifice more than our husbands. Oh and of course look like a Hollywood actress.
372. Do you sometimes place your own expectations on other people? We all do it to a certain degree. It’s something I’ve become more conscious of as I get older and therefore try to stop myself from doing it too much. I do think some expectations are more harmful that others though.
373. Do you sometimes act overeager to make friends when you are around strangers? No. I can be a bit quiet and seem disinterested because I’m a bit shy around new people.
374. Do you take everything that is said literally? Nope.
375. Do you take most things others say seriously? If it’s serious.
376. Do you have a quick wit? At times, yes!
377. Do you believe in the need for political correctness? I think many PC things shouldn’t be called PC, they should be realised as humanity evolving into a better species and not being as dicky as we have been in the past.
378. Do you have strong opinions and beliefs? Yes, though I’m not very good at expressing them. I sort of get intimidated by heated debates.
379. If yes, can you still hang out with and be friends with people who disagree with you? Yes, though it depends on what we disagree about as to how friendly I’d be.
380. Are you uptight? I can be. :/
381. Do you sometimes do risky things? Yes.
382. Could just about anyone hold your interest in a conversation for at least ten minutes? No, sadly. lol
383. Are you self-conscious? Extremely, at times.
384. What would be your ideal destination for a Saturday afternoon? Picnic in the summer or movies in the winter.
385. Does anyone have a video tape of you doing something embarrassing? I believe there may be some video from my 21st, but I’m not entirely sure to what degree it is embarrassing.
386. What is Kevin Smith’s(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Smith) best movie? I don’t care.
387. Where do you like to go on Friday or Saturday nights? My social life is non-existent at the moment.
388. Do you like your friends to act the same way all the time or do you accept their moods and changes? I accept their moods and changes, within reason. Fuckery is unacceptable.
389. Do you often feel like other people are judging you? Sure, don’t we all?
390. What do you think other people judge you to be like? I really have no idea. Maybe distant and bit stand-offish? I don’t always exude super-friendliness and warmth from the get-go. There can be a bit of an ice wall at times, which is sad because I’m just not like that once you get to know me.
391. Are you quick to judge others? Yeah, we all judge others in one way or another. I like it when I’m proved wrong.
392. When you have a fight with someone do you want to talk about it right away or calm down first and then talk? Calm down first.
393. Some say love is a river (according to the old song). What do you say love is? Like a rock pool. Very complex and interesting with some good and not-so-good surprises.
394. What is the worst fault a person can have? Not being able to let go of past grievances and move forward in life.
395. Do you have it? I used to be bad for it when I was younger, but I am very pleased to say that I am able to forgive and, if not totally forget, leave the memories tucked away and I don’t allow them to interfere with the present.
396. Which do you think has more impact on a person’s character, genetics or environment? They both play a part, though I am more inclined to say that environment has a bigger impact.
397. Who was your first best friend? A girl called Catherine and a boy called Timothy.
398. If you are not best friends anymore, what came between you? I moved cities and we lost touch.
399. Who have you read a biography about? Lots of people; I enjoy biographies. One of the most interesting was, of course, about Tallulah Bankhead.

A Backpacking around various countries.

302. Will you try to accomplish any of these things within the next year? Not likely, no.
303. What do you feel controlled by? Out of all possibilities, my emotions are what I feel controlled by most often. It’s both useful at times and highly inconvenient.

308. Have you ever stared into the ocean thinking ‘early creatures crawled outta that’? Not that I can remember.

314. Are you someone that others call when they’re having a problem and want to talk about it? Yes.
315. When it comes to literature, do you see beyond the writing and into the meaning intended by the author? I try to. Makes the experience of reading much more interesting, I think. Though sometimes it’s nice to just read the damn book and not think too much about it.

318. If there was a god and you could ask him/her one question what would it be? Why, you fool? WHY?

320. What is something worth suffering for? Anything you want badly enough, providing it’s for reasons that aren’t ridiculous (though that is pretty subjective).
321. If you could put an extra eye on your body anywhere you wanted, where would you put it? The back of my head.
322. Are you in touch with the earth and nature? Not particularly, despite my living in a rural area. I like nature and the outdoors, but I wouldn’t say I’m that ‘in touch’ with either.
323. Would you rather live simply or extravagantly? If I can’t pick in the middle, I will take ’simply’.

336. Do you believe that there is someone perfect for everyone or that people just fall in love with who ever they are with at the time? I think there we all have people that we are better suited to being with, but I don’t believe there is only ONE for each of us.
337. Do you know secret things? Why yes, yes I do.
338. Have you ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn’t have? I’m not entirely sure if I’ve been in love, because I don’t know how I define being in love, but I have definitely loved very dearly someone I probably shouldn’t have.
339. How do you overcome your fears? Face them! Just have to do it once and it gets a bit easier each time after that (for each thing that is scary).
340. What can you do better than anyone you know? Make teddies.
341. Would you benefit from a wilder existence? Maybe in some ways, yes.
342. Does it seem to you like the range of socially acceptable behavior is getting smaller or larger? I’m not sure if the actual accumulative size is really changing much, but the behaviours that are and are not socially acceptable are shifting. Sort of like a rearrangement, I guess.
343. Have you ever fired a gun? Yes, I have.
344. Are people becoming more afraid of each other? Maybe more weary than afraid.
345. If you had to choose the percentage of freedom vs. safety what ratio would you decide on (ex: 100% free 0% safe)? Define ‘free’ exactly.
346. Does safety stifle you? Depends what sort of safety it is! I’m lucky enough to live in a country with no wars, I can walk around outside and I don’t live in fear of my life ending at any moment. That is a freeing safety. Not walking down the street, alone, at night, because I’m a woman, is a stifling safety.
347. Who or what needs to be stopped? I’m just not even going to get started on that subject.
348. Are human beings becoming more domesticated? Yes. We invented it.
349. Do you follow the lives of the British Royal Family? Nope.
