Troll! We’d have the most fun.

And finally, if God doesn’t exist then you don’t get to meet him or her!).
Under the assumption that god exists, I’d probably pick option A, mainly because I’m almost positive that there is intelligent life somewhere out there, and getting us in contact with them would probably be quite disastrous.

(you pick the hour – they don’t know that they are being watched – it’s like there are invisible TV cameras following them around)?
I’d watch them. People acting without knowing they’re being observed are amazing. And this particular person = super amazing. Also, I’m a creeper.

Guaranteed my dream job.

2344. Have you thought about death today?

30-Day Meme – Day 3: Your favorite television program.
Haha, another one you all probably know the answer to. I’m going to have to say that my favorite TV program that’s still on the air is Metalocalypse. I thought this was the dumbest show ever when I first accidentally saw it on adult swim, but then I caught another episode awhile later, started watching it, and realized that the show was actually a pretty freaking great parody. I think it’s strength is in the fact that it’s so dumb it’s pretty much impossible to take seriously and thus is absolutely hilarious. It also spawned the Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle, and you can’t tell me that growling “DO YOU FOLKS LIKE COFFEE?” to someone isn’t fantastic.

If I were to pick a show that is no longer on the air, I’d have to go with Frasier. I used to watch this with my mom (and grandparents) back when we all lived together, and thus it has a nostalgic factor to it. Also, it’s hilarious.

These survey posts will end someday, I promise

In William Shakespeare’s play, “All’s Well That Ends Well,” the character Parolles makes an interesting speech about virginity, saying that “Virginity by being once lost may be ten times found; by being ever kept, it is ever lost…To speak on the part of virginity is to accuse your mothers; which is most infallible disobedience…virginity murders itself; and should be buried in highways, out of all sanctified limit, as a desperate offendress against nature. Virginity breeds mites, much like a cheese; consumes itself to the very paring, and so dies with feeding his own stomach. Besides, virginity is peevish, proud, idle, made of self-love, which is the most inhibited sin in the canon. Keep it not; you cannot choose but lose by’t…” What do you think of this?

Did I get any right?
Yup, numbers one and three. It was nighttime when I wrote my question and I
wasn’t wearing pants.

1102. You wrote one question that can be answered with a color (example: what
color is my car). I say….
White. Is it true?
Nope.

1103. You thought of a number between 1 and 100 and typed it down.
Was it 14?
Nope. 77.

1104. You wrote one more question, anything you wanted.
The answer is yes, 42, orange, Matt, Josh, Kim, Nicole, whatever or your mom.
Does that answer your question?
Nope. Rick Astley will, in fact, NEVER give you up.

1105. Do you think that Britney Spears would make a good Bond Girl?
Haha. That would be funny.

I read the Narnia insanity when I was younger. Didn’t care much for it.

Stenographer.

1113. Why do guys have nipples if they will never need to feed a baby?
Because God said, “let there be teats.”
If that quote were in the Bible, I’d convert in a nanosecond.

1114. Some people think that couples should be screened before they are allowed to reproduce (so that people who cannot afford to support a child don’t have one, or so that a child won’t be born into a dysfunction family or to unfit parents). What do you think about this?
I think it’s a good idea in theory, but actively employing such screenings would be pretty much impossible/unrealistic/highly criticized.

1115. Have you ever swallowed an object by accident?
I used to have a huge fear of choking on stuff if I didn’t chew it properly. I remember in kindergarten my friends would challenge each other to swallow whole those little slices of baby mandarin oranges. I could never bring myself to do it.
Wow, tangent.
Um…I swallow Tic Tacs unintentionally all the time. I guess I shouldn’t go into vacuum mode when I’m sucking on something so small [insert

Depends on who. Depends on where. Depends on the nudity level.

1126. What gets your adrenaline pumping?
Test anxiety. Statistics.

1127. Is hell all fire and brimstone or is it personal for everyone like in Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey?
Or does it not exist?
I don’t think it exists, but I think the best description of it ever was in James Joyces’ Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Fantastic.

1128. Do you ever talk about yourself in the third person?
No, but sometimes I write about myself in third person.

1129. What’s your favorite radio station? What kind of music do they play?
My old favorite in Moscow was Z-Fun 106.1, just because I always found it vastly superior to 104. It was mostly pop music, but I enjoyed it. I don’t

Fuck no.

1148. Was this year a good year for you?
Not so far, no.

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?
I’m a hylozoist, so yes. We are all of the same matter, we all become one another at some point.

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.
2. The light on my router is blinking.
3. My chilled water is slowly warming to room temperature.
4. The apple I took out of the fridge is also warming to room temperature.
5. The three clocks on the walls are ticking.
6. My Christmas lights are still chilling on the ceiling.
7. The light on my TV is on, indicating that it is plugged in.

936. Name three things you hate
1. Failure
2. Judgmental attitudes
3. Group work

937. Name one GOOD thing about each of those 3 things you hate.
1. You supposedly learn from it
2. I guess they can help protect you in situations in which the judgments actually are accurate.
3. Sometimes you get a group that lets you do all the work yourself.

938. What do you tend to see in black and white, rather than in shades of gray?
Pretty much everything. Except grays. HA joke.

939. Admit three things you do that you are ashamed of but shouldn’t be.
1. I waste time.
2. I double check ridiculously simple calculations with a calculator, even though I know the correct answers (example: if I have to add 36 + 2, I know the answer is 38, but I punch 36 + 2 into a calculator to check anyway).
3. I don’t do any school work on Saturdays.

940. What qualities make a person “good” in your eyes?
They’re kind to others, they don’t judge others, they try to maintain harmony in their surroundings.

941. Do you have any of these qualities?
I certainly try.

942. Are you willing to do what it takes to achieve what you want to?
Fuck yes.

943. Name one bad quality about someone you love.
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.

945. Are you pro life or pro choice and why?
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.

947. Can you see the beauty in?
A bumble bee: They’re cute.
A man skating: Johnny Weir is HOT.
A woman combing her hair: Women are beautiful.
A box of tissues: Such things are useful to me.
Yourself naked: BAH I’m ugly as hell.
Light: Light is fanfreakingtastic.

948. What are you most afraid of?
Failure. And Google. But mostly failure.

949. Whose life would you REALLY NOT want to ever have?
Hmm…I’m not sure. I think I would be horrible in any situation where I’d have to interact with a lot of people and make a lot of major decisions. So I guess I wouldn’t want to be President Obama then, haha.
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.

951. Name one thing that is beautiful about your body
I’m stronger than I look. By quite a bit.

954. Name one thing that is ugly about your mind
I have a horrible temper.

Yup.

957. Are you ticklish?
Unfortunately.

958. Are you awkward or graceful?
Pfft, I trip over electrons.

959. Do you wear glasses/contacts?
I love my glasses.

960. If you wear contacts what’s the longest you have ever left them in your eyes?
No contacts for me!

961. What’s going on where you are right now?
Not too much. Just chilling in my apartment.

962. What is your favorite thing to touch?
I like smooth metallic things.

963. What is your favorite kind of incense?
This is not applicable to Claudia!

970. Do you comprehend all the things you read?
I try.
But then again, I’ve also read Quine, so no.

971. Is it necessary to be repetitive in order to be creative?
It depends on the person. Some peoples’ creativity is fed by routine activity, some peoples’ creativity is crushed by it.

972. Do you control your attitude or does it control you?
I try to control it, but sometimes it goes insane.

I am the most stubbornly persistent person I know.

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.

981. If there was a fire and you could only rescue one thing from your room (all people and pets have escaped on their own, even goldfish) what would it be?
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?
1. I don’t judge people by their music.

3. Our aural preferences are subjective.

Neither, really.

984. What do you think of the Insane Clown Posse?
Fuckin’ posses, how do they work?

985. What’s the best movie about high school?
No idea. American Pie, perhaps? Just because it’s fantastic.

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.

988. What’s the riskiest thing you’ve ever done?
Grad school. Totally not worth it, by the way.

Hahaha, me. Have you read my blogs?

991. Do write on yourself with milky pens?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

994. Who can save you from yourself?
Just myself.

995. Are you a responsible person?
I like to think so, yes.

996. “It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.”— Oscar Wilde. Do you agree?

I own a fair number of songs from greatest hits albums, but I don’t own any full albums.

998. Are you at risk for a.i.d.s.?
Haha, I seriously doubt it. I gotta start washing those used needles, though.

All of what?

1000. Do you collect green pictures of dead presidents?

You’re the Na to my Cl

Almost a fifth of the way there!

801. How often do you change your mood in a day?
Hahahaha, you’re funny.  GET OFF MY CASE! Please don’t hate me. Let’s party!

802. When you ask people how they are doing you actually care about their answer or is it just polite?
Depends on the person. Besides, I think we’re all pretty conditioned to answer “okay” or “good” regardless of how we’re feeling, so not much can really be construed from peoples’ answers.

803. Would you consider yourself to be very polite?
I try to be conscientious around others to make sure I don’t inconvenience them.

This is a very strange question…

Indeed.

807. Have you ever had a lucid flying dream?
Nope.

Though it’s a theorem, I always found the law of large numbers to be really freaky for whatever reason.

809. What is the ultimate way to connect with another person?
Playing “this or that?” Just go back and forth giving each other two options and seeing what option the other prefers. Days can be spent on this, it’s grand.

810. Can you be intimate with someone without touching him or her?
Indeed.

811. Can men and women ever really be ‘just friends’ with no interest in anything more?
Yup.

813. Are you addicted to this survey like drugs?
Dudes, you have no idea.

814. If your significant other wanted to wait for marriage could you hold out or would you leave them (or would you cheat)?
Wait for marriage for what? Sex? Hahaha, I could wait for decades.

815. What’s the longest sentence you can make using only words that start with the same letter as your first name?
Can Claudia compose capricious couplets, creating crappy conjunctions continuously, confounding credulous carpetbaggers?

816. If you had a theme song what would it be?
If I said Sleepyhead, would that make me too predictable?

817. Are you cranky?
Not at the moment.

818. Which group generally annoys you more, people older than you, or people younger than you?
Younger. Mostly because that group includes little kids.

819. Do you refer to older people as old farts?
Hahaha, I used to.

820. Do you refer to younger people as the kids?
Nope. They’re just “younger people.”

Indoors.

829. Would you rather learn more about human nutrition or meteorology?

Honors can suck it. But if AP courses count for this, then yes.

831. What do you think of crop circles?
They’re pretty fantastic.

Who knows? The world is a mysterious place.

833. When was the last time you screwed up big time?
HA. Hahahaha. No. We’re not going there.

834. You have a choice. What do you eat: a veggie burger, a turkey dog, a cheese sandwich
Cheese sandwich!

835. Do you get a lot of random instant messages?
Nope.

Nope.

837. VHS or DVD?
DVD, just because I excel at breaking VHS tapes.

839. Have you ever seen the video/heard the song Days Go By, performed by Dirty Vegas?
Yup, I have it.

840. MTV: should it play more videos or more shows?
Man, I  haven’t watched MTV in FOREVER. Do they even show any music videos anymore?

Pretty good. Time to go back to Moscow and make out with people.

858. You take your little sister (she’s 12) shopping for school clothes. Mom gave you the money to hold. She picks out a skimpy top emblazoned “Hottie” and hip-hugging pants that leave at least two inches of skin north and south of her navel exposed to the wind. She insists: If she doesn’t have these clothes, she’ll look awful, the other kids will tease her, and she’ll feel like a nerd.
Do you think she should or should not wear these clothes?
I think it’s up to her, but still, ew.
Do you buy them for her?
It’s not my money, it’s my mom’s, and if I know of no prior restrictions on what my sister can wear, sure.

Yup. A few writing competitions and probably a few other things that I just can’t remember now.

I would ask them to do something else instead; I don’t wear rings.

Should they shave their heads?
If they want to.
Get implants?
That’d be kinda creepy.
Or let it go?
If they’re comfortable with that.

Probably a bit of both.

Probably The Lords of Acid.

708. How can one put an end to procrastination, as a bad habit?
You’re asking someone doing a 5,000 question survey? Haha. The best way to do it is to schedule procrastination times, in my opinion. Work consistently for an hour, “procrastinate” for 10 minutes. Rinse, repeat.

709. What feature would you want on your car that is not currently offered?
Um…the car?

710. What kind of poetry speaks to you?

It’s ruined when it’s written out. Red vs. read.

Because people suck at following the speed limit and freak out when they see a cop.

717. Are they afraid that the cop will STOP pulling over whoever he is pulling over and pull them over instead?
That would be hilarious.

718. It’s daddy’s birthday. What do you get him?
Probably a TV show season on DVD. He loves his DVDs.

720. You know that shaky feeling that you get when it’s all coming to a climax, and everyone involved is breaking into the good kind of cold sweat, working as individuals and at the same time as a single force of energy, and it all meshes together, and for a brief moment, you’re holding your breath and tingling all over, and after it’s done you’re on an explosive and dizzying high for the rest of the night?
Um…are you talking about orgasms or a bunch of stats geeks trying to run some R code?

What does that feeling come from?
Convergence, baby. It’s all about convergence.

721. How many of your teachers can you imagine drinking or doing drugs on the weekends?
Haha, my grad school profs? None of them, actually.
