So, a good friend of mine co-wrote this survey with his girlfriend and I decided to do it. Ideally, it should be done within a month, but I’m a slacker and have very little ambition to write these days, even though I do read and check on you all daily (and/or multiple times a day). So we’ll see how it goes!

15 prompts
To be done within a month.

1. Tell us 5 quirky things about yourself, 5 things you’re afraid of, and 5 indulgences you partake in regularly.
2. Name the last movie, song, book, piece of artwork, or performance that moved you to tears or joy. Explain why.
3. And now for something completely different! Name the last movie, song… yada yada yada… that angered or disgusted you. Explain why in detail without insults or personal attacks.
4. Does sex play an important role in maintaining a healthy relationship for you? Explain why.
5. What one thing would you want to do most if you could be a member of the opposite sex for a day?
6. Name 6 unexpected turn-ons. Why do they turn you on?
7. Describe a bad habit from your childhood that you still have.
8. What are 8 questions you’ve always wanted to see on a survey?
9. Answer your questions from day 8.
10. Share a moment that stands out as one of the happiest in your life to date.
11. You can cure AIDS, or solve world hunger. Which do you choose? (If you feel like explaining why, go for it.)
12. Take a picture of something from your workplace that someone who doesn’t work there may never see. Explain why you chose this and what it means to you.
13. Name 13 things you hope your parents never find out about.
14. List 14 choices you’ve made in your life that have led to where you are and who you’ve become.
15. Name something unexpected that you learned about yourself as a result of completing the previous 14 prompts.

Ok, so I’m not exactly keeping up with this survey and doing it within 30 days, but I am doing it! See??

3. And now for something completely different! Name the last movie, song… yada yada yada… that angered or disgusted you. Explain why in detail without insults or personal attacks.

This one is actually quite easy. I’m not easily angered or disgusted by movies, books, songs, art work, etc. However, the one thing that I don’t understand and don’t like to the point where it irritates me is abstract art. Any 2 year old with a paintbrush can create the same type of work you see hanging in galleries all over the world and selling for millions. Abstract things don’t ‘move’ me in any positive way at all. It annoys me more than anything else. I see no emotion to it, I see nothing special about it. My personal feeling is that if it looks like the rag you used to wipe your brushes on, you’re doing something wrong. It’s not ‘real’ art. It’s the end product of a failed attempt to create something true. And really, that goes for any kind of abstract art.. painting, sculpting, photography (although I can understand that moreso), etc.

No real offense meant to those of you who do create abstract art. It’s just lost on me.
