Oh blog, ye of great neglect! I have really good intentions all the time to actually write stuff on a regular basis, but by the time I actually sit down to do it, I don't want to anymore. I don't have exciting stories unless I talk about work, and that's something I try to avoid in public forums, and the current events I have something to say about are often no longer that current by the time I get around to the ol' blog.
But I didn't want the entire month of August to go by without posting SOMETHING, so here's this little survey, via Sam. Once upon a time, I had a LiveJournal and that sucker was fulllll of teh surveys. I had a lot of time on my hands.4
1. Where did you go on your first airplane ride?
To L.A. to visit the aforementioned Sam during sophomore year of college. I was a little freaked out, but she held my hand and I was OK.
2. What is your earliest memory?
Uhhhhh hitting my head on a table at preschool and needing stitches. I can't think of anything specific from prior to that. Maybe that's why?
3. What was your second grade teacher's name?
Ms. Bonville. When we had to go to the bathroom she would ask us "Number one or number two?" to keep track of about how long we should be gone (we were wanderers). I once answered "number three!" I was an asshole from an early age (but really, I probably just had to go).
4. What was the last thing you watched on tv?
America's Best Dance Crew. I can't do anything.
5. My uncle once:
I have a few uncles. Ummmm...Harrison once gave me a super cool Skipper doll for Christmas. She had a little toy puppy. I love(d) Barbie.
6. How long was your longest relationship?
A year and a week, as of today.
7. What do you want to be?
Asleep? Not hungry? Thin? Smarter? More well read? Less poor? A better cook? Seriously, this is a really unfair question.
8. What was the last thing you received in the mail?
A bill. Huzzah!
9. If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?
I can only pick one? More education for women.
10. Would you prefer 10 inches of snow or 100 degree weather?
Snooooooooooooow!
11. What is your homepage set to?
A blank screen. My computer doesn't cooperate if it's asked to do something right away. Having an actual homepage would just crash Safari.
12. Last 5 websites you visited:
Gmail, Facebook, Google reader, Twitter, Twitpic
13. Were you a planned baby?
I find it unlikely. It's my understanding there was a cold snap around January/February 1985 in East Tennessee. My BFF's birthday is only two days after mine, and her parents lived just up the hill from mine. It was cold. What do you expect?
14. What do you believe is the meaning of life?
I was going to start writing the "sperm" song from Monty Python's Meaning of Life, but this is a family environment here. Oh wait. That was a joke and I didn't even mean to make it!
15. What bill do you hate paying the most?
All of them? I guess the utilities. Air conditioning should be free because THIS IS FLORIDA.
16. How many schools did you attend through grade twelve?
Just two. Wearwood for K-8, and GP for 9-12.
17. The Cosby Show or The Simpsons?
The Simpsons, for definitely.
18. Three signs summer is here:
It's not January. That's about it.
19. The last time you had your feelings hurt:
Yesterday.
20. Who was your first best friend?
Audrey, when we were in preschool. And then her family moved to Idaho.
