Survey pt2

22.HAVE YOU EVER BROUGHT FOOD FROM A DIFFERENT RESTERAUNT INTO ANOTHER? Yes. It is not an uncommon occurance for me, in fact. Usually fast food. I bring KFC into Taco Bell, etc. On one occasion, I brought McDonalds into a 3 star restaurant.

23.DID THEY ASK YOU TO LEAVE? No. I’ve never been asked to leave from the fast food places, nor the 3 star. But, I am also “discreet”. I try to have a drink from the place I am sitting at, to help “advertise” their product. ..but, i break that rule on occasion, too.

24.CAN YOU TYPE WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE KEYBOARD? Yes. I average 45wpm without error, and can burst up to 65-70wpm with a single error for a minute or two at a time. It usually helps if I have music on, or if I am pissed-off or otherwise distracted. The errors are caused by my conscious mind interferring with the subconscious process.

25. DO YOU READ BOOKS? *lifting the questionaire, looking under it…* Is this a trick question?

I read as often as I can find time and material. The most frequent opportunity is while I am sitting on the throne (“I’m sorry Mr. Costanza, this book’s been FLAGGED!!”)

26.WHAT TYPE DO YOU LIKE THE BEST? Of fiction, I enjoy Sci-fi short stories, then any short-stories, sci-fi, or fantasy, of any kind. Of non-fiction, I read self-help types of books (Covey and Hybels, for example), reference for my hobbies (Backpacker magazine, Guide to Mountain Biking the Plains States), and pure technical material (Assembly for 68000 series Microprocessors, Operators Manual for your New 1982 Mercury Marquis).

I stay away from Romance novels, Westerns, political and biographical (although I do enjoy a few biographies). And thats about all I avoid. A trip to Barnes & Noble…I will roam the entire store, and read until they close. That is one of my favorite dates for myself.

27.CAN YOU DO SOMETHING UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT THAT YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY CANT DO? As an INTP, I have an advanced skill for what I describe in my prologue. I can see things, systems, from amazing perspectives. My family, and most of my friends, cannot do this as ably as myself, if at all.

On more base terms, I have a double-jointed thumb on my left hand, with which I play “gear shifter” with. Little kids who aren’t grossed out really enjoy shifting gears!

28.DO YOU WATCH FRIENDS? No. No availability, but I wouldn’t watch it if I could. Just not my style. I’ve seen it just enough so when my co-workers share stories I can roll my eyes at the right parts.

My favorite tv shows is my Thursday night line-up of “Whose Line is it Anyway”, Millionaire, and ER. I also enjoy Seinfeld and the Simpsons very much. Conveniently, they are on at 10pm and 10:30, so I can watch them more often.

I also enjoy all of the Star Trek shows. Yes, I admit, I’ve even taken to actually WATCHING Voyager, but only because there’s a TNG gap in my soul.

Trekkers will understand that commment.

29.IS YOUR STOMACH GROWLING RIGHT NOW? Not so much growling as burning. I had lunch at 5pm at Bennigan’s with Rachelle (not what you are thinking. She just vented to me and asked advice on her boyfriend.) I had the seafood grill platter, and it is STILl kinda working on my innards. But that is my favorite Bennigan’s dish.

I think I will hit Taco Bell when I am done here, and get a bean burrito.

30.HAVE YOU EVER STUCK SOMETHING UP YOUR NOSE? Yes. Lots of things. In junior high, during the summer, my step-brothers and myself were bored and unsupervised, so we would make stuff up to entertain ourselves. One afternoon, we thought we’d see how much money we could (yes, money – coins!) store in our nose – as if this were a good place to keep it safe while travelling, for example.

Well, I got a dime to fit, but when I reached for it, I pushed it up farther. One of my brothers had to get two butter knives and use them as forceps to pull the thing out!

In high-school, I was known to take dares. Eventually, I only took them for profit of some kind, and eventually, people stopped daring me because I always accepted the dare, if the profit was reasonable.

The day before Christmas break was always one of festive moods and distraction. Someone dared me to wear Christmas lights (actually, just the flame-shaped plastic shroud) up my nose all day. I accepted it on the terms that a $2 debt would be cleared.

*sigh, giggle* On this day though, I had Mr. Proffit. Mr. Proffit was a card-carrying minister, and an expert on small arms – he was just that kind of guy. The kind of guy who when he laughed, you laughed with him, and when he stopped cold at your desk, staring at you as he passed out your exam…. well, you took the Christmas lights out of your nose, thats what you did.

31.DID YOU EVER GET IT OUT? see above.
