This was one of those forwards that your friends* send you to find out random details about your personality and life.
Normally this would not get a response, but I am posting the answers on my blog so that my 3 readers can refer to this info at their leisure. When it's all said and done it is a somewhat "interesting" grouping of information.
(*Your REAL friends don't harass you with spam....just kidding... luv ya F*******)
1. What time is it?
Daytime. (who cares what time it is? if it were 3am people would think I was some kind of sleep deprived weirdo and if it was 3pm I would be a slacker at the office... you just can't win)
2. Name as it appears on birth certificate:
(it's a blog, I don't want to encourage stalkers)
3. Nickname:
The Iconoclast (this is funny on it's own, but it's even more funny knowing that it is a reference from a cartoon. Who said cartoons were just for kids?)
4. Piercing:
Just the ears. Rebellious, but not too rebellious.
5. Eye color:
Physical descriptions are boring, just know that to know me is to love me.
6. Place of birth:
Washington DC (formerly the good district, now not so good)
7. Favorite food:
Again, inconsequential. The only thing worse than judging someone is making judgements about them based on random meaningless questions. (i.e. His favorite food is spaghetti so he must be a misanthrope!)
8. Ever been to Africa?
Why Africa? Couldn't the question be have you ever been to another continent? Wouldn't going to Europe be enriching as well? Sure it would be different, but still enriching. What about South America, Brazil, australia? OK I have never actually been out of the continental US, and I rarely get off the East Coast, but I think that only asking if someone has been to Africa is a little pretentious, as if to say people who haven't been aren't culturally aware.
It's just not true.
9. Ever been toilet papering?
Almost. Long story.
10. Love someone so much it made you cry?
Nope. Never.
11. Been in a car accident?
I have been in 7 car accidents. I wasn't the driver in most of them. Only in 2 of them was I behind the wheel. Once was on a school bus.
12. Croutons or bacon bits:
People who eat bacon bit's have abandonment issues, I don't eat bacon bits. (This seemed like an especially random question to me, Tupac or Biggie, Beetles or Elvis, foreign or domestic, these say something about a person. "Croutons or bacon bits" does not.)
13. Favorite day of the week:
Payday
14. Favorite restaurant(s):
Grizzleby's - You'll wish you had less fun.
15. Favorite flower:
Are men even considered when these things are written? How about favorite car? The answer would be there are too many to choose from, I love them all. (You'd have to give me some constraints like price, engine type, type of vehicle, i.e. SUV, super car, luxury sport, etc...)
16. Favorite sport to watch:
Corporate ass kissing. I only watch because of the hilarity of the endorsements.
17. Favorite drink:
Shine. If you can see straight after a drink then that drink was for pussies!
18. Favorite ice cream:
Pralines and Cream + Daquiri ice, not one or the other it has to be both at the same time. (That answer should move me up on the likeability scale.)
19. Disney or Warner Bros:
I like my world dominating corporate conglomerates to be vicious. Hail Disney!
20. Favorite fast food restaurant:
I don't know, isn't it all pretty much the same anyway. Isn't it the same Mad Cow ridden, Grade D meat, from Chalupas to Big Macs? Regardless of the taste you end up regreting it afterwards. (That being said, I probably eat at Wendy's about 3 times a week. Hey, there's one close to the office.)
21. Color of your bedroom carpet?
Gray, like the taste of lima beans.
22. How many times did you fail your driver's test?
ACED IT.
24 Which store would you choose to max out your credit card?
The record store or liquor store. My hypothetical credit card would have to have a very small limit.
25. What do you do most often when you are bored?
When in doubt I do work, or pretend to do work and do geeky shit like this on my computer.
26. Bed time:
Between 1am and 2am everyday. It sucks.
29. Favorite TV shows:
I hate TV, but I watch anyway so... South Park, Chapelle (*sniff*), Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Network and prime time is anathema.
30. Last person you went out to dinner with:
An ex-coworker and 13 of her best pals for a birthday dinner.
31. Ford or Chevy?
It has been much harder for me to hate the american car companies lately, they have been putting out exciting product at reasonable prices. Exciting, however, does not mean quality.
32. What are you listening to right now?
A pop radio station that plays throughout my office that makes me want to rip my own eyeballs out.
33. What is your favorite color?
BLUE
34. Lake, ocean or river?
Bodies of water that have their own ecosystems just don't really work for me. Give me a nice chlorinated pool with a lifeguard. Thanks.
35. How many tattoos do you have?
Zero
36. Have you ever run out of gas?
Several times. Once I had to walk miles to a gas station, buy a gallon of gas, walk back to the car put the gallon in, and then drive to the gas station to actually fill the car up.
37. Time you finished this e-mail?
N/A
38. Diamonds or pearls?
Who cares. How about sexist or racist that would really tell you something about the blogger. I am going with sexist.
39. What did you have for breakfast?
What's breakfast?
40. What is your favorite CD at the moment?
My Ipod on shuffle. I like how Ipods made that question, "what 5 CD's you would take with you if you were stranded on a desert island?", obsolete.
41. Favorite sandwich?
I am angry with sandwiches at the moment.
42. What characteristics do you despise?
Condescension. And as a consequence I end up being condescending more often than I'd like.
43. Favorite item of clothing?
My watch, if that counts.
44. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go?
Deep into the recesses of Bush Jr's mind to try and fix some of the loose connections.
45. What color is your bathroom? Dirty
46. Favorite brand of clothing? Dickies. Fashionable and functional.
47. Where would you retire to?
The British Virgin Islands
48. What fabric detergent do you use?
Whichever one makes you, the reader, feel that I am more worthy of your attention.
49. Coke or Pepsi?
I prefer clear sodas. I want as little as possible standing between me and my liquor.
50. What is your shoe size?
13, and yes what they say is true.
51. Do you have pets?
I hate animals, when Fido can help me with my existential and interpersonal problems then he can be my best friend.
52. What did you want to be when you were little?
Enormous. then people would have had to listen to me.
