Gettin’ through the first 1,000! Hahaha, are you guys sick of this, yet?

901. Would you rather have a candle scented like blueberries and crème or butterscotch pie?
I will STAB you.

902. Which ones are fruits and which are vegetables:
Banana – fruit
Cucumber – vegetable
Tomato – technically a fruit, but culinarily (TOTALLY A WORD) a veg.
Apple – veggie
Carrot – AWESOME veggie
Eggplant – veggie
Cherry – nasty
Pumpkin – fruit

903. Does it annoy you when people talk loudly on their cell phones in public?
You have no idea. Not everyone on the bus needs to know your dinner plans, you obnoxious fart faces.

904. Is love a commitment to one person, or can you love more than one person at the same time?
I honestly believe you can love more than one person at a time.

905. Cover or original:
Smooth Criminal; is it better by Michael Jackson or Alien Ant Farm?
AAF, definitely.
Blue Monday better by Orgy or New Order?
Never heard it.
I Want Candy; Is it better by Aaron Carter or Bow Wow Wow?
Bow Wow Wow!
Love Song; Is it better by 311 or The Cure?
Another one I’ve never heard.
It’s My Life; Is it better by No Doubt or The Talking Heads?
No Doubt.

906. What is the most uncomfortable feeling?
Dread. Not having a plan. Both combined.

907. Do you like Maroon 5?
I think all their songs sound the same, but it’s a decent sound, so I don’t mind too much.

908. Would you ever go on a blind date TV show?
That would probably be the only way I’d get a date seeing as how things tend to go with me.

909. How much of your wardrobe is dry clean only?
Two things, a jacket and pants, but I never dry clean those pants. Into the washer they go!

910. Who’s arms would you like to crawl into?
Leibniz’.

911. What the hell is your problem?
Hahahaha, I could write you a book, man.

912. Look around you. What is the most beautiful thing you can see?
My books. I love them.

913. What is the most beautiful thing you can’t see?
Tachyons! Speedy little buggers.

914. Take a deep breath. Yawn deeply. Do you appreciate the things most people take for granted, like breathing?
I think I appreciate tastes more than the average person, seeing as how I can’t smell and all. The things I can taste I taste very strongly and I really try to eat things that have good, strong flavors. Apart from broccoli and cauliflower. Those taste like nothing but have awesome textures.

915. Do you appreciate breathing more when you have a cold and you’re all congested and can’t breathe right?
I don’t get colds, I stole God’s immune system.

916. Is congestion a positive thing because it helps you to appreciate breathing?
I appreciate breathing more after I choke on something. Congestion just pisses me off.

917. How is your life like a work of art?
It’s unfinished and probably will always be that way. Lots of artists never really “finish” their works, right?

918. Do you feel that your life influences and is influenced by many other lives?
Of course. No man is an island. Some are peninsulas, but none are islands.

919. Has a smile ever made all the difference in the world to you?
Meh. If I’m having a bad day, I’m having a BAD day. Smiles don’t do much for me if I feel up to kicking a baby through an electric fan.

920. Have you ever looked at a tree and considered how the roots could be miles long, trailing and entwining with other roots underground, all of them holding the soil together?
Indeed.

921. Do you notice the little things in life?
Sometimes. When I’m really freaking depressed I do.

922. Do you feel, as Jung did, that deep down, underneath our individual personalities we are all the same?
The collective unconscious thing? Eh. I suppose in a sense that’s what’s going on, but I’m not a strong believer in it.

923. Do you feel a great oneness with the universe?
Sometimes. Sometimes I feel very, very, very alone.

924. When was the last time you decided to really enjoy yourself?
Haha, it’s been awhile. Grad school has destroyed my soul.

925. When was the last time you set yourself free and acted without caring at all what someone else thought?
Pfft.

926. Have you ever held someone and appreciated how delicate and fragile all life is and felt that they were even more precious and beautiful because one day they would die…and so will you?
Those are some of the best moments in life, in my opinion.

927. In ten years someone else might own your house and the room you are sitting in now. Someone else might be standing right next to where you are sitting now. So that means you could be standing right next to someone but you can’t see him or her because they are ten years away.
Ever look at life like that?
I do indeed. This section of the survey includes a lot of stuff I tend to think about a lot.

928. When was the last time you:
Soaked in a bubble bath: long, long, long ago.
Read a good book outside: It’s too cold/rainy to read outside up here.
Held someone’s hand: Not since last summer.
Felt truly joyful: Not since before grad school. Sad, eh?

929. What do you bring to this world that no one else can?
A fantastic degree of “insignificant human pretending to be important.” Also a lot of blogs.

930. Do you feel that you are part of every living thing in this world and that all those things are part of you?

931. Are you more afraid of death or not completely living?
I FEAR NOTHING

932. What was the last thing you wanted to do but didn’t or couldn’t do?
Quit.

933. Why don’t you try and do that thing now?
Because I’m a coward.

934. What is the most wonderful thing happening right now in the world?
People are trying to be nice to each other. Obviously this isn’t a universal thing, but odds are, somewhere out there someone is making a conscious effort to be nice to a fellow human being.

935. Name 7 things going on around you that you normally wouldn’t notice:
1. The fridge is running.

4. The apple I took out of the fridge is also warming to room temperature.

937. Name one GOOD thing about each of those 3 things you hate.

Pretty much everything. Except grays. HA joke.

She allows a certain asshole to control her life to a certain extent.

944. Name one good quality about someone you hate.
I don’t hate anyone.

Pro choice; I think that women should be allowed the freedom of making a (legal) choice if they’re ever in the situation where they think bringing yet another life into this world is not the best thing for them to do.

946. If you are pro life write a reason someone might be pro choice. If you are pro choice write a reason someone might be pro life.
I’ve read/heard the descriptions of abortion, and they make it sound pretty horrible for the baby. I can see how some people could oppose such operations.

A man skating: Johnny Weir is HOT.

Why?
Press conferences, cabinet meetings, and budget balancing, oh my!

950. Can you come up with a reason why you might want their life?
I’d like to think I would do something worthwhile if I were ever president.

977. Just because you’re angry does that give you the right to be cruel?
Absolutely not.

978. What is maturity and where does it come from?
Maturity is overrated. We all need to be a little more childish if we want to be sane. Unfortunately, I think we’re all in too much of a rush to become mature.

979. Who is the maturest person you know?
Haha, is “maturest” a word? I always thought Sean was a surprisingly mature human being.

980. Who is the most immature person you know?
Probably myself.

Compy. I freaking love my compy.

982. If you could, what 3 albums would you force everyone to remove from his or her CD collections?

Fuckin’ posses, how do they work?

Well, today he’s dead…I’ve never really paid much attention to him, actually.

987. Is choosing a different store to shop in from most people really making a statement?
Meh. It depends on what your intentions are. I don’t tend to shop at the same clothing stores as others, but I don’t do it to “stand out” or resist conformity. Some people do, though, so eh.
