Tracy Arm and Juneau = COLD and WINDY and RAINY and I am FREEZING.

There’s very limited internet access here, but I was able to load the next set of 100 questions from the 5,000 Question Survey. Won’t you be glad when I’m done with this?

1701. How will tomorrow be like today?
I’ll still be on a ship!

1702. How would you react if a stranger pinched your bottom?
I’d simultaneously be flattered, confused, and violated.

1703. When was the last time you went on a date?
OH GOD. Years ago…October 2008? Noodle times with Aaron, hell yes.

1704. Have you ever ridden a horse?
Yes, but horses are terrifying.

1706. What is almost over?
July, which blows heavy metal chucks, ‘cause I want more time in Moscow to see my friends.

1707. What should you be doing that you are putting off?
Sending the final code for my thesis to my supervisor.

1708. How much would you have to change physically before you would no longer be yourself anymore?
Haha, it’d take a lot of plastic surgery for me to not be the ugly little freak I am today.

1709. How much would you have to change mentally before you would no longer be yourself anymore?
I ask myself that pretty much every day.

1710. Would you rather be famous or notorious?
Famous.

1711. Would you rather have a necklace that’s dripping with diamonds or a blueberry farm?

Only if the judges were blind.

Opinionated.

1715. How long is it until your next day off?
No worky right now!

1716. What sound is annoying you right now?
Nothing. My computer’s cooling pad fan is a bit obnoxious, but I’d rather hear it humming away than Vaio II going the way of Vaio I via its internal fan revving up to shoot into the stratosphere.

1717. Imagine you’re taking a vacation with 4 people. Who are they?
My old roomies!

I’ll sacrifice!

1719. Anorexia and obesity are two life threatening eating related disorders. Why is it that when it is discovered that someone is an anorexic they are rushed to the hospital, but when someone is obese they are not rushed to the hospital?
Because society is DUMB, and that’s all I’m going to say about that right now, because this issue pisses me off extremely and I don’t want to go there tonight. Maybe in a later blog.

You know, I’ve never actually seen that show.

1721. Why do you do things that you know are bad for you?
Because I have no willpower.

1722. How important is testing to education?
It has its place, but I don’t think it’s necessarily an integral part of cementing knowledge into children’s heads. Also, TESTING SYSTEM FLAWED.

1723. What food group do you eat the most of (bread and pasta, meats and eggs and fish, fruits and vegetables, milk and cheese, sugar and butter)?
Veggies, yo. I could subsist off of broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower. I kind of actually do.

Haha, never.
