Killing time with a little survey…

Something to kill some time, and cause I like answering random questions like this. So here we go…

Peter

What’s on your mind most today?

I have a few things on my mind this week. I’m going to be watching the Democratic convention all well, I have rehersals coming up for next months filming and this weekend is my 10th Wedding anniversary. So that’s what’s been on my mind the most today…

Do you drink Red Bull or any other energy drink?

I used to drink Jolt when I was doing overnight papers and studies before a big final. Now that I’m not pulling those crazy hours, I try to stay away from that kind of stuff…

Do you believe everyone deserves a second chance?

I do people are worthy of a second chance if they are willing to fess up to what they have done and give a sincere apology. If both of those are present I’m always willing to give second, third and fourth chances… depending on the issue as well.

Status of you and the last person you texted?

Leah and Chris are the only people I text, so they’re all right.

If you could work at any clothing store, which store would you pick?

I’m not sure, I guess I would prefer to work at a place where I am confident in the product and use myself that way it would be easier to sell.

Who was the FIRST person to text you today?

No one. My cell is currently recharging.

Who was the FIRST person you talked to today?

Ethan. He woke me up around 5am, eager to go downstairs and play.

Have you ever called a person useless?

Yes I have. It was a long time ago when I was working at the call center on the island. I had been working there over two years, and required help so I raised my hand for floor support. What I got instead of someone who could help was someone who had only been working there for six months. He didn’t know anything relavent to the issue, let alone how to solve it, and had the gall if there was anything else he could help with instead, I said “Yeah, you can find someone on the floor who knows what they’re doing cause you’re completely fucking useless!” and I shouted it loud enough so ever Team Leader working on the floor could hear it. My point was made, he shouldn’t have been walking the floor in the first place.

Are you good at hiding your feelings?

Depends on what kind of feelings I am trying to hide. Sometimes I am successful, sometimes I am not.

Do you usually tell people when they hurt your feelings?

I try to tell people how I feel, but if the time and place isn’t right… I try hold off to a time when it is. The key word being try.

How often do you give high fives?

Not that often, but lately a few since Ethan is getting the hang of it.

Do you prefer a call or a text?

Either is fine, I’m not up to the point where I prefer one over the other.

Have you ever been on television?

Not yet, but I’m working on it. I’ve been in some projects that have been posted on youtube, but not the tube yet. I’m scheduled to take part in the filming of an independent action film next month, that should be fun.

What are you doing for your next birthday?

Probably what I did last year, nothing. I don’t make a big hoopla about my birthday anymore. And I’m more focused on doing things for Ethan and Leah’s birthday more than I am about my own. Believe it or not, I actually prefer throwing parties more than I do having one…

Do you drink milk straight from the carton?

No, that would be rude.

Do you like anyone now?

I like a lot of people right now, to many to mention.

What happened at 10:00 am today?

10am hasn’t happened yet. But when it does the kids will like both be up and running around as usual and playing.

What do you want in your life right now?

A lot of things, far too many to mention right now.

Something you just don’t understand?

How many people can read the same thing and look at the same article regarding an issue and walk away completely different views about it. Boggles the mind how people vary, but that’s what makes us who we are I guess…

Where did you last eat?

That would be at home, Leah and I had Pizza for dinner last night.

Who’s the most annoying person in your neighborhood?

There’s one guy who’s been a bit of a pain to our neighborhood… but we’ve had no contact with him at all so he’s been no trouble to us. He’s had a dispute with his closest neighbors about an ally behind their houses, and it’s gotten so ugly the cops got called in a few times. He really freaks Leah out a bit so we’ve kept our distance and stayed out of this issue.

What were you doing at 3 am?

Sleeping, or at least trying to.

Do you plan on moving out in the next year?

Not if I can help it. I hate moving… it really sucks.

I’ve really challenged my parents lately, and really stood up to them. We had some issues that came out during my last visit and because of that we haven’t been talking since.

What was the last movie you bought and/or rented?

Last move seen in theatre was ‘The Dark Knight’ and that was mighty impressive. Last rented was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, I can’t believe Warner pushed the next Potter film back to July… wankers.

What will you be doing tomorrow at 3pm?

Watching the kids, maybe doing a little cleaning.

What do the majority of people in your life call you?

While Peter is my legal first name, I’ve been called my middle name my whole life. Every ID I have and even my address is listed under my middle name and is the one I go by. What is it? Not tellig…

Is something bothering you right now?

A few things are, but why ruin your morning with that.

Do you prefer someone taller or shorter than you?

Doesn’t matter as long as that’s the person you want to be with.

Would you rather a guy/girl make the first move or do you like a bit of a challenge?

Depends on the situation and the person you are going after. Since I don’t have to worry about it, I would say a little of both is good cause you want that person to feel wanted and it’s good to feel desired yourself.

Are you afraid of death/dying?

We’re all going to die, it’s just a matter of when. I could live to see 100 and die a great grandfather, or get hit by a car running a red light tomorrow. This is something I cannot control, so I concentrate on what I can make a difference with.

Which one of your friends is going to have the cutest baby?

Not at the moment.

Last thing someone else bought for you?

I can’t remember… I think I got a pair of socks and a some new jeans last Christmas.
