So I posted this on FB, just crossposting it here for posterity:
I saw Scott Watkins do this, and since people say all I do is rant or post about food, here's my chance to do something different. (though I guess there is ranting involved in some of the answers). So here you go:
1. Do you make your own bed?
I'm mostly a neat guy, but I actually don't see the point. I'm just going to mess it up again when I go to sleep that night. Though actually, way before then, because if I'm in my room, I'm most likely sitting on the bed on my laptop.
2. The first car that was officially yours?
The Intimidator! The Red Ford Contour I bought after I graduated college named so because of the Dale Earnhardt sticker the previous owners had slapped on the back window. I've named all my cars, the Sentra I had after the Intimidator was missing the "T" on the trunk, so it said "Sen Ra". So I named it Star, after Sun Ra's "Starship". And my Versa is "Hiro", because Hiro from Heroes kept babbling about how great the Versa was in the first season.
3.Three grocery items you don't run out of?
I can only think of two, toilet paper and paper towels, which I always make sure I have stocked because the former would be awkward to run out of, and if I didn't have the latter, how would I dry my hands after washing them or clean up messes?
4. When did you start doing your own laundry?
College, obviously. Being a thousand miles from home, you kinda have to do such things yourself.
5. If you could, would you go to high school again?
Most likely yes? Well, if I knew what I knew now. I would hope I'd be a little less awkward. Plus I'd prioritize things better. Like academics! Honestly, my grades should've been way better than they were, particularly in the earlier years. But I was lazy. Imagine if I actually put in the effort! Heh, socially, I don't need to know if I could have gone out with this girl or that, because I've actually managed to check with every girl I had a crush on or I thought I might have had a chance with since then and the answer is a resounding no across the board.
Actually, I would also to like to go for some club that involves singing.
6. Can you parallel park in under three moves?
Only on the right side of the street.
7. A job you had which people would be shocked to know?
Nothing, I've always been a fairly normal, straight edge kinda guy. Well, that and I've worked at the same place for almost two decades now.
8. Do you think aliens are real?
I'm not going to discount it.
9. Can you drive a stick shift?
Nope. Its prolly a good skill to have though.
10. Guilty TV ?
During the regular season, I watch 40+ hours of TV shows a week. It would be quicker to list the number of shows I DON'T watch, so its prolly all guilty TV. But if you count movies on TV, then of course romance movies on the Hallmark channel.
Also, I've seen Armageddon, The Peacemaker (yes, that George Clooney/Nicole Kidman movie where they're hunting nukes), and Independence Day about a hundred times whenever they come on TV. Oh, and I have to catch the scene from "My Best Friend's Wedding" where they start singing "I Say a Little Prayer" in the middle of the restaurant. Fun fact, I've done this so many times that whenever I see the movie is on in the channel guide, I know exactly what time I need to switch to it to catch that scene.
11. Would you rather be too hot or too cold?
I wanna say too hot, because I can't stand the cold. Like I know you can always put on more layers, and you can't do anything for the heat, but the cold just sucks.
12. If the world ends do you want to be one of the survivors?
Yes, because I can't stand the idea of a story going on without me. Even if I consider myself an uninteresting side character.
13. Sweet or Salty?
They both have their moments.
14. Do you enjoy soaking in a nice bath?
Ew, no.
15. Do you consider yourself confident?
Ha, I think the answer is pretty obvious. Well, except when it comes to singing. I have no qualms about singing in front of a crowd, even though I'm not the best singer in the world. Particularly after that one time I had laryngitis and was unable to talk for more than a month. Ever since then I can't hit certain notes.
16. Something people do that drives you crazy?
I could go on for days! People who are overly familiar. People who order "their way, right away" at fast food places. People who chat it up with cashiers. People who don't know how to stand in line. People who button mash in fighting games (learn how to play!). People who think they're so great! Oh, and general incompetence.
17. Something you do, physically, that you are sure drives people insane?
Apparently chewing with my mouth open.
18. Do you have any birth marks?
Yes, I have a mole above the right side of my mouth and I hate it. It makes my face unsymmetrical. Also, sorry ladies, but that feature has always been a turn-off for me. Like I've never been into Cindy Crawford or Marilyn Monroe.
19. Favorite childhood game?
Does Contra for the NES count?
20. Do you talk to yourself?
I dunno, sort of? I mean, shouting, "What are you, some kinda moron?" in the car is technically talking to another driver, even though they can't hear me. But statements like, "I didn't know it was stupid idiot day today!" is talking to myself?
21. Do you like doing jig-saw puzzles?
Nope.
22. Would you go on a reality show?
Certainly not!
23. Tea or coffee?
Tea, of course! Coffee somehow puts me to sleep.
24. First thing you remember wanting to be when you grew up?
Prolly a jet fighter pilot or commando. Apparently, it came as quite a surprise to some people I didn't go into the police or military
25. No matter how much money you have or don't have, what are you an absolute snob about?
Small towns. Like even though its not like I took advantage of what NYC had to offer growing up, I thank my lucky stars I grew up there. Its like, I get these people living in podunk wanting to move to the big city, because how do you not go nuts living in dumpwater, Alabama or whatever!? I'll take being a dorky weirdo from the big city over being some kinda rube.
