I'm Bored Survey

I'm Bored Survey

Current mood:sleepy

The Cure For Bordom Survey

Take This Survey to cure boredom. Have Fun!

1. How old will you be in five years? 31. There's something seriously scary about breaking into 30.

2. Who did you spend at least two hours with today? Ted, Ray, DiAnna and this customer who refused to leave.

3. How tall are you? 6'1"

4. What do you look forward to most in the next six weeks? Sadly, the only thing I can think of is that I get Saturday off work this week (so I can sleep in!).

5. What's the last movie you saw? Wild Hogs. We tried to see Premonition but it wasn't on yet. Then we tried 300 and it was sold out. So we went to Wild Hogs. I would have rather watched actual wild hogs than that movie.

6. Who was the last person you called? Karen at Chickasaw Nutrition

7. Who was the last person to call you? My mom with a computer question.

8. What was the last text message you received? I don't do the text message thing, so it would probably have to be a "free text" from Cingular telling me something I care nothing about.

9. Who was the last person to leave you a voicemail? We don't have voicemail at work. If I happen not to be there and get a call, someone just takes a message and then doesn't give it to me. Works pretty effeciently.

10. Do you prefer to call or text? Call

11. What were you doing at 12am last night? Sleeping

18. Where is your favorite place to be? Outside somewhere relaxing.

19. Where is your least favorite place to be? Wal-mart.

20. Africa-NewZealand-Japan? That's not so much a question as it is three hypened words with a question mark. New Zealand seems a safe answer.

21. Where do you think you'll be in 10 years? I'm scared to think it will be in Ada.

22. Do you tan or burn? Tan

23. What did you fear was going to get you at night as a child? I don't recall being scared of anything in particular, but I do remember this time when I thought all the furniture was moving around me and that was pretty dang freaky. My mouse is cruising across the screen by itself right now. That's pretty freaky too.

24. What was the last thing that really made you laugh? Friend requests. I get like 15 "friend requests" a day from women who want to show me nude photos of themselves. I checked out one page b/c I wasn't sure if it was "one of those" or not (you can believe me or not, I don't care) and I noticed that a couple of people actually approved her as a friend (and one was from Ada). Not sure what they were expecting out of it, but in made me laugh nonetheless.

I'm a sucker for these surveys.

I'm a sucker for these surveys.

Current mood:blah

1. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought? My hair is crap.

2. How much cash do you have on you? Probably less than $20. I have almost completely stopped using cash. Yes, I am the wave of the future. My new credit card has the PayPass feature where I can just tap it on the little machine and go (don't have to sign the little stupid slip, usually). I am still waiting for the day when I do this without the cashier bothering me about it. Almost everytime, they say "You have to slide it" while doing a sliding visual effect with their hand. And, I'm like, A) no you don't and B) I know how to use a credit card. Either that or they try to take it from me while I go for the tap. A little training is in order here.

3. What's a word that rhymes with "DOOR?" Chore.

4. Favorite planet? I'm going to have to go with Earth on this one. Safe choice, I know.

5. Who is the 4th person on your missed call list on your cell phone? I don't want to walk in there and see. There's a good chance it's either home or work though.

6. What is your favorite ring on your phone? The one I put on it from "The Killers."

7. What shirt are you wearing? Plain white.

8. Do you "label" yourself? Well, there was this one time I was really bored at work and I starting making labels for my various body parts with my label maker and then stuck them on myself. No, not really.

9. Name the brand of your shoes you're currently wearing? I'm not wearing shoes, so there.

10. Bright or Dark Room? As in light, bright. As in paint color, dark.

11. What do you think about the person who took this survey before you? she's cool.

13. What were you doing at midnight last night? sleeping

14. What did your last text message you received on your cell say? I don't do the text thing, but I got several over a two day period, such as "how's your day," "good morning," "what are you doin." etc. I finally responded "who is this" as I thought maybe I had a mystery admirer. Turns out, what I had was someone who had the wrong number. And cost me about 50 cents, BTW.

15. Where is your nearest 7-11? I honestly have no idea.

16. What's a word that you say a lot? "Shocker." We say it at work when things go predictably wrong. We say it a lot.

17.Who told you he/she loved you last? My mom. All together now... ahhh.

18. Last furry thing you touched? A dog... maybe?

19. How many drugs have you done in the last three days? Wow, not ever, but in the last three days, huh? Sounds like who ever wrote this little survey *may* have a substance abuse problem. I, for the record, have "done" no drugs.

20. How many rolls of film do you need developed? I have been digital my whole life, so I have never developed a rollll of film of my own. Woah, that roll has two many l's. I'm not even going to fix it. Rebel.

21. Favorite age you have been so far? Oh... I don't know, 23?

22. Your worst enemy? Crabgrass?

23. What is your current desktop picture? An underwater pic with seastars. I had to check this, BTW.

24. What was the last thing you said to someone? love you, bye.

25. If you had to choose between a million bucks or to be able to fly what would it be? I'll take the money. I mean, sure, flying *sounds* cool, but how practical is it, really? I'd probably just get hit by a jet or swallow a bird or something.

26. Do you like someone? You mean, like-like? Oh. my. gosh.... no.

27. The last song you listened to? I couldn't tell you. Sorry... I'm sure you really wanted to know.

"Grown Up" survey to pass the time...

"Grown Up" survey to pass the time...

Current mood:blah

Any teenager can write a survey about their favorite class, or their secret crush, or how nice their car is that their parents paid for. This is the survey for the older crowd.

OLD PEOPLE SURVEY

To begin-- surely I'm not in the "older crowd" yet. The older myspace crowd, well... maybe.

1. Do you have a college degree?
Yes, a business degree from ECU.

2. What was the amount of your last electric bill?
All my bills are on draft so I never look at them. I probably should.

3. Do you have life insurance?
No, but my insurance guy tried to sell me some the other day. I was like... who's going to get the money-- my dog? And I don't really even have a dog.

4. How many hours per week do you work?
45 1/2 except for every third week, it's 42 1/2 as I get off Saturday!

5. What is the amount of your average monthly expense?
I would guess around $2000, but that's really a rough estimate.

6. What's your most expensive bill?
House payment.

7. What's your least expensive bill?
My second XM subscription-$6.95.

8. Favorite place to attend Happy Hour?
I don't really do "happy hour" except for this place we used to get "snackers" at work had a 50 cents drinks at 3:00 and we did that frequently.

9. How many miles is your commute to work each day (one way)?
Roughly 5 minutes depending on the idiot in front of me.

10. What time do you get up every morning for work?
7:30 to 7:45, depending on if I reach for that third snooze or not.

11. What is your definition of sleeping in late?
Oh, it's sad. I used to could sleep to noon on a lazy Saturday, but now I can't sleep past 9 without feeling all yucky.

12. Do you check your cholesterol on a yearly basis?
Okay, that's officially an older crowd question. Now I will get a public service announcement that checking one's cholesterol is not something only older people should do. You just watch.

13. How large was your first cellular phone?
Not too bad... it was a Nokia 5160 that everyone on earth has had at some point or another. That was like 1999, I guess.

14. Does your employer provide good health insurance?
Good? No. Any? No.

15. Do you have a need for a PDA at work?
Oh, Felicia... a PDA is a personal data assistant. I had to tell a 50 year old this the other day. Like a Palm or a Blackberry. Or, a hundred years ago, a Wizard. But, anyway, no I don't use one.

16. Did you use the internet to write a research paper?
Every time. I'm going to say this is another "older person" question.

17. Have you attended a HS reunion?
I have been to two "alumni banquets," which is like an all-years reunion. This is how you can tell if you went to a small school.

18. How many jobs have you held in your professional career?
Do I have a professional career? I'm not sure. Anyway, I've been full-time at my job for four years.

19. Have you ever been fired or laid off from a job?
No

20. What is your favorite drink?
Mt. Dew.

21. What is the most expensive bottle of wine that you have?
I only have some cooking wine in the fridge, so probably $2.

22. What is the most expensive dinner you have ever had?
I have probably ate a $90 meal twice (I didn't pay for either). One was very good (Jack Binion's Steakhouse), one was not so much (Micky Mantel's Steakhouse).

23. What do you usually spend on dinner when you go out?
$15

24. Married yet? If so the best part about it?
No and I keep being asked why by some and being told to never, never do it by others.

25. How many children do you have?
0

26. Have you been divorced?
No

27. How old were you when you stopped getting ID'd for Alcohol?
I don't buy alcohol on a regular basis, but I do still get ID'd for buying paint and whiteout at Walmart.

28. Favorite casino?
I have only been to one in recent years--The Horseshoe in Shreveport LA. It was nice though.

29. Are you happier now than you were in high school!
In some respects. I enjoyed high school though.

I don't know what that is.

31. Do you remember when Michael Jackson was black and attracted to older people?
Not really.

33. Have you had a will made?
No.

34. What music was in your cd / cassette player when you were 16?
I was all country, all the time then.

35. Favorite fancy / upscale restaurant?
If I had a chance to eat at Binion's again, I definately would. I guess I would say Charleston's here local, although that's not all that fancy.

36. How long has it been since you attended a kegger?
I have never attended a kegger--and I went to college!

37. Where were you when you found out about 9-11?
Just getting out of bed. I turned on the radio like usual and went into the bathroom. It didn't take long before I had the TV on and didn't leave it for a while.

38. How long has it been since you moved out of home?
8 years

39. The biggest challenge of leaving home!
Living in a 10 x 15 room with someone else (not to mention sharing a bathroom with four people).

40. The biggest benefit of leaving home?
Kind of the same benefit of living alone... doing what I want when I want without having to "get permission" or "discuss" it with someone else.
