solarbirdSurveys are harder than quizzes.
1. where were your parents born?
I don't know.
2. what's your favorite restaurant?
I Love Sushi! Lake Union, Seattle, Washington. WOOT! Also there's The Dillitante, which does almost nothing except deserts. ^_^
3. last time you swam in a pool?
A standard swimming pool kind of swimming pool? Probably ... six years ago? Hot tubs - a couple of months ago.
4. have you ever been in a school play?
If you count college as school (and if you count Transy as a college), three.
5. how many kids do you want?
One, I think. Not counting the birds. ^_^
6. type of music you dislike most?
High-production-value slicked-up wailing country. Country that knows where it came from I can listen to, and I like traditional Celtic and Bluegrass.
7. are you registered to vote?
Yep! And I've only missed one election in the last 11 years. ^_^
8. do you have cable?
Does a small satellite dish count? (We had Dish Network, but there's no TiVo for it, so we switched to DirecTV and generally like it better anyway.)
9. would you go bungee jumping or sky diving?
{giggles} I keep thinking about bungee jumping. I'd rather go hang gliding than any of these, though. I like heights. ^_^
10. furthest place you ever traveled
Edinburgh, Scotland.
11. do you have a garden?
I have multiple gardens! Which I sorely negelected this summer, snif. My favourite one is my little entry garden, by the front stairs.
12. what's your favorite comic strip?
I'm not sure! Maybe Bob, the Angry Flower, maybe Megatokyo (even if it's late 3/4 of the time), maybe The Sinner Dragon (so pretty), and maybe Venus Envy (even if it's currently on vacation and doing guest and stick-figure strips.)
13. best movie you've seen in the past month?
Spirited Away, hands down. I want to see The Ring, though.
14. favorite pizza topping?
Jalapanoes! Mmmmmmmmmmmm jalapanoes.
15. chips or popcorn?
Chips, But kettlecorn would be whole 'nother battle.
16. who was the last person you went out to dinner with and where did you dine?
Dinner per se':![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spazzkat, for teriyaki at Tokyo Garden. Then we met mamishka and jessicac for Spirited Away, after which spazzkat went home but the rest of us went to Stella's (Italian) for a snack.
17. favorite type chocolate bar?
Kit-Kat. It's crap chocolate but we loves it, we loves it so.
.
18. have you ever won a trophy?
...I don't think so. I haven't been in a lot of competitions - it's not really my nature. I've won a couple awards here and there, but no trophies.
19. are you a good cook?
Not in general, but I'm good at a few random things. My Thanksgiving turkey is excellent, if I may say so. But regardless, I can follow a recepie and make it work. ^_^ I bake acceptably well, too.
20. have you ever had to wear a uniform to work?
Y'know? I'd have figured I did that two week stint at Burger King, but I totally don't remember having one? I must have, though. Or something.
21. last thing you bought at a pharmacy?
An actual prescription. For me. Holy crap!
22. ever throw up in public?
Not quite. I had food poisoning once and came very close. (It sent me to the hospital.) I did a lot of throwing up, but none in public.
23. would you prefer being a millionaire or find true love?
la la la
24. can ex's be friends?
Absolutely. I've friends with most of my exes. (And my former lovers, too ZANK YOU AND GOOTNIGHT)
25. who was the last person you visited in a hospital?
er... boy, is that a weird story, and a long time ago. Too long ago to explain here.
26. what message is on your answering machine?
"If you would like to make a call, please hang up and..." {giggles} Actually, just a standard "here's what number you dialed, please leave a message" kind of message.
27. favorite thing to do before bedtime?
Lie on the couch withannathepiper and lightly doze. Sometimes I read at the same time.
28. what is one thing you are grateful for today?
Modern medical science. ^_^
29. if you were to die tomorrow who would you leave everything you own to?
If I had time to make out a detailed will, I'd probably specify some gifts. But regardless, almost everything goes toannathepiper.
30. who is the one person that you could stand spending a straight 24 hours with and not get the slightest bit annoyed with?
annathepiper - most of the time.. ^_^ And some others, probably, too. Depends upon whether we're both awake all that time, having to actively interact all that time, stuff like that.
31. what would be the first thing you would do if you woke up one morning and you were the opposite sex?
I imagine this isn't usually a complex question. *^_^*; I'll just say that I have no interest in being a boy, thanks.
32. what is your dream career?
I've been getting back to my sculpture again, and as soon as I can get some of the current important urgent house projects wrapped up, I'm going to start showing art around to some galleries again. I definitely want to try being a gallery artist.
33. if you could be in any movie as the lead role what movie would it be?
Kahvi Successfully Leads the Glorious Revolution to Overthrow the Human Oppressors, Part I. ^_^
34. what three cd's would you want if you were stuck on a deserted island?
I really likewelcomerain's answer. ^_^ But, um, seriously? If you count box sets, I've got a great Decca collection of big band swing from 1930 through 1955, and that'd be one of them... The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy box set would make a good second box, just because it's nice and long and tells a story that I quite like and would help keep my spirits up, and for the third... do They Might Be Giants have a box set?
(The CD I need to get off my ass and buy is the new Sleater-Kinney. The CD I bought before that was White Blood Cells and a belated grab of Barenaked Ladies's Maroon which I somehow missed completely when it came out. I don't buy nearly as much music as I used to.)
35. what would you do if you ruled the world?
Abdicate. Failing that ... make things better, but, well, the question is how do people actually want to do what you say?
36. if you were a superhero, who would you be?
{giggles} My classic answer to that is Phoenix. Except for that whole "destroyer of solar systems" thing that happened back in the 80s. ^_^
37. what do you secretly love reading?
I don't read anything that I'd think was embarassing enough to keep a secret.
38. what do you secretly love watching?
{small font} football. shut up.{/small font]
39. you're allowed one super power, what would it be?
Only one ever? Does "failure to age" count as a super power? If not, it'd be flight, I think. That's what calls to me the most.
40. if you could eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Sushi is a lot of foods. ^_^
41. what's the cheesiest thing you secretly love?
I can't tell you - it's a secret! ^_^
