Filler (take two, part two!!)

30,000 characters my ass!!! I see some things about OD never change, including how it will just post an truncated entry instead of warning you you’re over your character limit like any half-decent sites with a three line Javascript code on it does.

Anyways, here’s the second survey, and third part of the overall survey entry, as promised. With all this hassle, I may never post another one of these here again now, you know… =/

10 years ago I was…

– Just about to turn 17, and certain I’d stay that age forever
– Still living at home with my mom, not far from where I live now
– Coming up to one year since I’d dropped out of high school in the tenth grade
– Just past one year since I met my first love, and still seeing her on and off despite many traumas along the way
– Spending most nights and many days smoking, drinking, partying, fooling around, sleeping in strange places and with strange people
– Spending the rest of my life online on local BBSs, often chatting with the same people who made up my friends in real life

5 years ago I was…

– 21 years old, though feeling like I was 40 as often as not
– Living not far from where I live now, with a housemate I’d been moving around with since I moved out of my mother’s place
– Sitting in a chair kind of like this one, using a computer similar to this one, in a room much like this one, probably even writing in my old OpenDiary doing a survey much like this one!
– Single and celibate for two, going on to three years
– Spending most nights and many days smoking, drinking, and partying, though usually by myself, or at best, at home with a couple of people over
– Spending the rest of my life online on the net, often chatting with people I’d never met and in retrospect, never did

1 year ago I was…

– 25 years old, and feeling 50 on a good day, wondering what 25 was actually supposed to feel like
– Living in a different place, not far from where I live now, with the same housemate I’d been moving around with since I moved out of my mother’s place
– Sitting in a chair very much like this one, using a computer extremely similar to this one, in a room quite like this one, no doubt writing something somewhere online
– Single and celibate for two, going on to three years
– Spending all my nights and days painfully sober, straight, alone, and desperately bored with my life
– Occasionally contemplating what it would be like if an 18-wheeler truck smashed through my bedroom window one morning while I slept

Yesterday I…

– Was 26 years old, and one day closer to death >=P
– Was living right here, with the same housemate, and sitting in this exact chair, using this exact computer, in this exact room, typing an earlier part of this exact OD entry
– Was single and celibate for about 150 years and counting…
– Spent my night and day painfully sober, straight, alone, and desperately bored with my life
– Actively and passionately wished that an 18-wheeler truck would smash through my bedroom window one morning while I sleep

5 snacks I enjoy…

– Arnott’s BBQ Shapes
– Cinnamon donuts
– Arnott’s Chocolate Teddybear Biscuits
– Mars Crispy M&Ms
– Mars Mini M&Ms

5 songs I know all the words to…

– The Doors, "Light my Fire"
– Nine Inch Nails, "Kinda I Want To"
– Eels, "Spunky"
– Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Breaking the Girl"
– Nirvana, "In Bloom"

(Picked quite randomly for emphasis on diversity, since I like music from almost all genres and eras ranging from the 1940s to mid 1990s and a small handful of more recent songs – most of those bands above though, I know most of the words to most of the songs on those albums.. =P)

5 things I would do with 100 million dollars…

Only 5? And only $100 million? =P

– Pay off all of my debts and the debts of those I care about
– Buy some perfect land and build my dream house from the ground up
– Buy my dream car and dream motorbike
– Put a huge chunk into investments so I can live comfortably for the rest of my life
– Spend whatever’s left on booze, food and hookers, and party for a year >;)

5 places I would run away to…

Pfft, I’d run away to anywhere if it were that simple. I’d run to the other side of town or the other side of the world if there was a roof over my head waiting for me and I could leave my problems here when I left! =P If I had to just pick five geographic locations though:

– California
– Italy
– Venice
– Greece
– Germany

5 things I would never wear…

– Spandex ANYTHING
– Meshback caps
– Sporting or surf brand promotional crap
– A dress =P
– A leopard print banana hammock >;)

5 favorite TV shows…

This list changes on a monthly basis as the braindead scum that are the decision-makers in the TV industry axe another dozen awesome shows and replace them with another dozen clones of Survivor or American Idol, but the current top five as of the time of writing this would be:

– Battlestar Galactica
– Lost
– Prison Break
– The L Word
– The Sopranos

<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;”>5 bad habits…

– Scratching my head too much (no I do not have lice!)
– Creating a huge pile of clothes that are not dirty enough to be washed but not clean enough to be hung back up
– Letting people who know me too well (my mother, my brother, my housemate) push my buttons and get a rise out of me instead of just walking away
– Giving up on playing a game the moment it gets slightly boring, repetitive, challenging, difficult, or anything, and just putting it aside instead of pushing past it and finishing it
– Thinking I feel like a particular food, only to find out I couldn’t want it less once I start eating it

5 biggest joys…

– Well-written television shows, with in-depth, well-cast characters
– Epic series’ of novels that you just can’t stop reading
– Good pornography
– The perfect female body
– Oxycodone

5 fictional characters I would date…

– Kelly Bundy
– Meadow Soprano
– Kandi Harper
– Max Guevera
– Abby Sciuto

Well, that’s a wrap. Time to get this mess posted before a lightning strike fries my hard drive, or god only knows what else…

For the record, it took me ten days of short, sporadic updating, to rewrite this post, and my answers are mostly the same as my first attempt, though the wording isn’t all quite intact.

Your thoughts…?
