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.

Have you ever run away from home?

I considered it one time during my childhood but quickly reconsidered.

What are you looking forward to in the next week?

Refer to question #1 for the answer to that question.

Who is the last person you saw in your house?

I’m in my house right now, and everyone is here to. The boys and Leah.

What type of mood are you in right now?

I’m a little tired, Ethan was up really early but I’m doing all right.

Have you ever gone out in public in the same clothes you’ve worn to bed?

I try not to, but I remember a few days at the center where I was running late and ended up wearing the same shirt or socks. It happened but not that often thankfully.

What are your plans for the morning?

Finish writing this entry, do a little cleaning around the house and play with the kids.

Do you have a ceiling fan located in your room?

Yes, I do.

Jonathan is currently watching ‘Mickey Mouse’s Clubhouse’ on TV.

Do you have an older and wiser friend you go to for advice?

I used to, but since I moved we’ve hardly talked at all.

Have you questioned any people that are in your life lately?

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 do you think you’re going to be majoring in?

I guess this survey is for people younger than myself. Since I’ve already graduated from University, I can let everyone know my major was inEnglish Language and Literature.

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.

Are you a religious person?

No.

Have you ever, in any way, been betrayed by someone you trusted?

Yes, I have.

Have you ever broken someone’s heart?

No, not yet.

I’m both. Sometimes I’m up and down all night, other times I sleep like the dead.

What did you do last Saturday night?

Not much really, put the boys to sleep around 9pm… watched a movie with the On Demand feature of my DVR then went to bed.

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

A bud of my named Aaron had a baby girl two months ago. Her name is Avalon and she is a cutie. He’s going to have his hands full if she’s just half as energenic as her mother.

Wearing any bracelets?

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.

After this survey, likely hang out with the boys and after Jon goes down for his nap, Ethan will likely play with his toys and I’ll write another entry and/or work on a chapter.

No, I don’t think so.

When was the last time you cried really hard?

You may not be comfortable with the idea that you’re not in control of your life, but that doesn’t mean you are. 🙂 I think we’re in control of our reactions and responses and decisions in life. As for what happens to us… sometimes we can control it, and sometimes we can’t despite our best efforts to do so. I’ve had ample proof of that recently.
