lumy12Yeah, so, I was bad and snagged some stuff to fill out in Word to copy/paste here at work real quick. The girls aren't working very hard today so I don't feel TOO bad about it. It IS Friday, after all!
First, a survey from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
drusilla_malfoy:
What comes to mind when I say RED?
Blood.
Is perception reality?
No.
Do you believe in Bigfoot?
Yes. Maybe. I mean, prove to me he DOESN’T exist.
Do you believe in Mothman?
I don’t even know who this is!
Do you think better in the shower?
No, I’m usually all business in the shower.
Is it really better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all?
Yes. Though it won’t feel like it when you’re grief-stricken, of course.
When hitchhiking, is it acceptable to fart in the passenger seat?
Hell no! But why are you hitchhiking in the first place? Very dangerous in today’s world.
Is it right for a parent to read their child’s journal or search their room?
Not usually… but I believe there are some instances where it’s warranted. Let’s just say I’m glad my mother did it to me once (though of course I was pissed at the time).
What common animal do you believe is wrong to keep as a pet?
Every animal really if you don't know how to keep or treat it. (agreeing with Julia on this one)
Have you ever won a staring contest with a cat?
I don’t think so. lol
Can someone be a born leader, or is something that has to be learned?
I believe some people have those instincts, yes. But that’s not to say their skills couldn’t improve as they learn.
What about an individual makes them “smoldering”?
*snort* If they’ve been set on fire?
What is the first thing that comes to mind when someone says “PLAY”?
Play ball!
Have you ever attempted to get into someone else’s car in the parking lot thinking it was yours?
No, though I’ve approached wrong cars before and realized it in time. White Hondas aren’t exactly rare out here.
Name 3 things you have in your freezer.
Kitty-shaped ice cubes, Lean Pockets, hamburger patties.
Would you rather bang Bob Barker or Hugh Hefner?
Ewww. Um… I guess Hugh Hefner, he’d probably pay me better!
Would you stop on the highway to pick up a lost dog?
Maybe. I probably wouldn’t be quick-thinking enough to do it, actually, and then later I’d worry about the dog and scold myself for not picking it up. That’s happened before.
If you could go back in time to live in any era, WHEN would you go to? What role would you play in that era?
I agree with Julia on being upper-class and rich! And I’m not sure of the era. I think we have it pretty good nowadays. I don’t know how I’d fare without all this technology!
If GOD had asked your opinion while creating man and woman, what changes would you have suggested?
I agree with Julia again: cut out this monthy thing for women. No bleeding, no cramps, no PMS! YAY!
If you could be the opposite sex for one day, what would you do?
Probably jerk off all day!
Have you ever slapped someone across the face?
Yes ^_^
If you won the lottery, who would be the first person you would call?
As they say, you can’t win if you don’t play… but probably my brother, who would probably be asleep when I called.
Do you assign colours to moods?
I guess?
If someone scares the hell out of you, shouldn’t you be thankful?
More thankful than if they scared the shit out of me, I suppose!
Would you keep a secret about someone who had died?
Yes. Well, I guess it depends on what it is and who I’d be telling it to. But probably.
Do you know what your name means?
I should, but I don’t remember. I think it might mean “wanderer” – which is funny because I’m SO not.
Do the movies you own paint an accurate portrait of you?
Hee. Um… not really. No.
If you were the supreme ruler of all known existence, how would you like people to address you?
I wouldn’t make a good ruler because I’d just want them to call me by my name. I suppose my direct servants could call me Master. Yes. (no, not Mistress. Master! It sounds better!)
How come macaroni and cheese is so damn good?
Hell if I know, it just is! Mmmmmmmmmm.
If ignorance is bliss, why do we seek knowledge?
Hey I just did a poll about this.
Because no one really wants to be happy?
Next, you get two![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
thefridayfives for the price of one. I never did last week's!
1. If you could change one life-changing event in the life of someone important to you, would you? Yes.
2. Which do you think is easier to do, being friends for many years, or being life partners for many years? Being friends. Life partners have more expectations to meet.
3. Have you ever walked away from someone you considered a friend? Um… not if I still considered them to be a friend. I’m really not good at the tough love thing. Ask anyone, I am quite the enabler.
4. If you had to choose between telling the truth and hurting a friend or lying and making them happy, which would you choose? I can’t answer that, it depends on the magnitude of the lie, and which friend it is, who else is involved, stuff like that.
5. Which would you rather hear--the truth which will hurt, or the comforting lie? Well, I think I’d rather hear a comforting lie, except that when I find out it’s a lie it only hurts all the more, so just tell me the truth straight up.
~
1. Do you have a favourite cause that you support? I’m a sucker for animal causes.
2. If so, how do you support it? I have a rotation of charities I donate to when the “roadkill fund” adds up. The RF is tracked on my refrigerator – I add $5 to it for every dead animal I see on the street.
3. Have you been an active member of an organization (attending meetings, volunteering etc)? I was in clubs in school if that counts? Oh – and my little nerd friends and I had a club called the Shooting Stars in 6th grade. I was treasurer!
4. Have you ever led any group? Not really. I mean, I used to supervise people Back in the Day, if that counts. But that was a job.
5. If so, how was your experience with it?
OR: 5. If not, why, is it a conscious choice, of lack of opportunity? Conscious choice. I’d rather support the leader without having the responsibilities of leadership. And even professionally, the last time I tried to get a supervisory position, I lost out to the person who then became my supervisor. I decided I was done with it then. I’m no longer bitter about that, though, I just realized I’m not cut out for it.
And, yoinked fromjellybellys. The version I last tried to do ended up being... well, unpostable. Re-doing now with 75% less wangst!
1. Tell 15 people on your flist, what you always wanted to tell them, but were too scared (you didn't want to sound too clingy).
2. You mustn't name the persons.
3. You mustn't deny or confirm any guesses.
(some of these are multi-purpose! And they’re not all about clinginess, either.)
1. I can’t imagine my life without you in it somehow.
2. I miss you. But you don’t miss me, and that makes me sad if I dwell on it.
3. I love you more than you know.
4. I’m so glad I got to know you better this year, you’ve really helped me in a lot of ways!
5. I do read your entries but I’m at a loss as to how to respond most of the time.
6. I…kinda can’t remember who you are. Heh. Oops.
7. I miss you whining to me all the time. Feel free to whine some more!
8. I had so much fun with you, I need to come see you again someday.
9. You’re someone I think I could be closer to, but you’re so “popular” on here I kinda don’t see it happening. Anyway, you still rock.
10. I accidentally offended you a while back, and though you’ve probably (hopefully) forgotten all about that by now, I still wonder if you remember. I choose my words more carefully now.
11. Where did you go???? *whine*
12. I admire you a great deal. I wish I could be more like you.
13. You just might be nearly as weird as I am. Congratulations!
14. I know you don’t need to hear another “I’m sorry” but I still feel the need to say it…even though you’re awesome and you forgave me long ago. I miss the way we used to be.
15. I feel honored that you kept me on your f-list after paring it down to mostly just people you know in real life. And you don’t know me, but you kept me. Thank you!

(aren't you glad you asked?)
Unless crap blows up, the only day I might possibly stay late normally is Wendy Day. Do you know when the next one is? (testing your mad chart skillz!)

Re: Look, I'm finally making a billion comments! Hooray!
Date: 2008-07-19 01:28 pm (UTC)Sorry about the smoldering :)
I'm corrupting YOU? Ha! I win!
Oh - and you could have called, I turn my phone OFF when I go to sleep, unlike some people! :P Actually, I usually turn it off maybe an hour or so before I go to bed. Or more if I'm feeling particularly antisocial. And I don't think you have the house #, but even if you did, that doesn't really wake me up either, because the phone in my bedroom is unplugged (thanks to Gryffin's love of pushing it off the hook in the middle of the night! Grrr) and the ringing phone in the other room might penetrate my dreams but it's usually not enough to fully wake me up. /babble
