From Byzantium's Shores, again.

1. Have you ever had mono? Nope. Alas, no one ever wanted to give me the dreaded kissing disease.

2. The last place you were (besides now)? The store, buying some new nondescript shirts. I tend to wear the same ones over and over. Although I did buy a Superman logo shirt. A second one...

3. The last gift you received? A poster that may or may not have been of a young pop star... I'm not going to say.

4. How many times a day do you drop your mobile phone? Never; I don't have one. I am perfectly willing to drop anyone else's mobile phone, however.

5. The top three things you spend the most money on? If I had money, I'd spend it on taking Becca to the movies more often and catching up on my animation DVD collection. And strip clubs. Haven't been to one of those in a long time, either.

6. Last food you ate? I cheated again last night and had some pizza. Don't worry, my bowels are punishing me for it.

7. First thing you notice about the opposite sex? Their eyes, although I'm sure no one believes me when I say that. The eyes are what draw me in right away, and I like to think that, even though I post a lot of pictures of a variety of women, they all have beautiful eyes. And some personality. Personality goes a long way.

9. The school you attend? None, currently. And I don't really want to go back. I'd rather sneak into teaching by being a sub.

10. Your mobile phone provider? None. I have yet to be provided with a mobile. Who needs to reach me that badly?

11. Favorite store that's usually in a mall? I don't really care to go to the mall anymore. There aren't any malls in DeKalb, and being broke it's not really fun to go to stores anymore. I like to shop online. You find more stuff that way.

12. Whats the longest job you have ever had? Let's see... I worked at Barnes & Noble from 1995 to 1997, but I worked there over Christmas in 1999 and 2000, so that might count, what with the extra time. Otherwise, probably my longest-held continuous job was delivery driving for a small printer from mid-1997 to sometime in 2000.

13. What do you smell like? I don't know, but it's probably not good. My deodorant is Speed Stick and my aftershave is Skinbracer, so something combining the two. Plus there's a little cocount, because of the hand soap in the bathroom.

14. The biggest lie you've ever heard? Anything having to do with the War on Terror, really. Still waiting for that war to pay for itself. And for the link between al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein. And the location of the weapons of mass destruction.

15. The last time you cried was because why? Because Geraldine Page made the trip to Bountiful.

16. In your opinion, do long distance relationships work? No, would be my guess. I think it probably takes a lot more strength than I have to be solitary for long periods of time. Honestly, though, I think a worse relationship would be one were someone put their career in front of the relationship. That's hard to accept.

17. Do you drink coffee? Not anymore.

18. What do you wanna say to your most recent ex? "You're telling me you didn't know that trying to make me jealous on purpose was going to make me not trust you and not like you anymore?" (Seriously, Christy, thanks for the emotional abuse.)

19. Do you believe in God? No. Insert strident answer here.

20. Favorite color(s)? Purple, still.

21. The last person on your missed calls list on your mobile phone? Seriously, can't anyone envision life without a mobile phone anymore? Is it such an umbilical? Because for me all it does is take away the gift of solitude. There are times I want to be unreachable, dammit.

23. How many pillows do you usually sleep with? Three. I need to be elevated because of the acid reflux. Sometimes I add a fourth.

24. What are you wearing now? Charcoal sweat pants and a grey tee shirt. With black socks. It's cold. What are you wearing?

25. How many pets do you own? Just the bunny. I'm still trying to figure out who I talk to in order to purchase Bai Ling.

26. What are you doing tomorrow? Why, what did you have in mind? Actually, it looks like we might be doing a movie crawl tomorrow.

27. Can you play ping pong? Not really.

28. Favorite gender? Neutral.

29. Do you like maps? I still use them constantly; they were my best friend as a delivery driver who pretended to know where everything was. Just drive off a ways and then consult the map.

31. Have you ever attended a themed party? No, but it always sounded neat.

32. Have you ever thrown a party? I've had people over, but never a party.

33. When did you wake up this morning? Around 7 or so, bloated and in pain.

34. The best thing about winter? It ends eventually.

35. Last time you were in trouble with the cops? I got arrested in junior high. I've had some tickets for speeding, once for running a stop sign. The only recent brush I had with the law happened a few years ago, when I got pulled over for having expired plates.

38. What are your plans for this weekend? Quit hitting on me!

39. How many days is it until your birthday? 159.

40. What do you want to be when you "grow up"? I dunno yet. I'm still not sure I've grown up, anyway.

41. Are you on a laptop? No. Is that a come on?

42. Are you smiling? No. I'm not feeling well.

43. Do you miss someone right now? I see this question a lot on memes. And yes, I do. I miss a few people, one in particular. Very much.

44. Are you happy? Not really. But I'm not sure I'm exactly unhappy, either.

45. Have you ever been in the hospital for an emergency? Sure. My false alarm heart attack, most recently. In high school when I nearly broke my ankle. The last time I was in the emergency room was to get the ER doctor to sign something saying I was physically capable of doing my job (teaching) without suddenly dying. He refused to sign it because, after realizing I wasn't having a heart attack but a panic attack, I wouldn't get whatever expensive x-ray he wanted me to have. He told me (through a nurse) that he couldn't sign it because I hadn't had the test. Doctors are easily offended, delicate prigs who hate to have their position as demi-god of all health questioned.

46. Last time you ate chicken? Just the other day, actually. Thursday, I think.

47. What jewelry are you wearing? Do my glasses count?

48. What are you going to do after this survey? Make some lunch. I'm starting to get hungry. Plus I wouldn't go to the store with Becca this morning, so I said I'd make it up to her by making lunch.

49. Song you're listening to? None. The TV is on.

50. The car you were in last? Mine. I still won't let anyone drive me around.

52. What color shirt are you wearing? Gray. I said already, guh!

53. How long is your hair? It's pretty short. You saw it last week. I'm already thinking of a cut. I like it short.

54. What's on your mind right now? I'm really starting to get hungry. Guess that sickness is over. Good; best not abuse the system right now.

55. Last show you watched? Hannah Montana. Hey, it's Saturday morning.

56. Last thing you drank? Sweet Dasani water. Refreshing as hell.

57. Who was hotter, Ginger or Mary Ann? Why choose just one? They were both smoking as hell. Even as a kid I was trying to figure out why the Professor wasn't trying to get them in a three-way. Why are so many people on the internet intent on choosing one thing over the other when both of them are pretty great. Too much drawing of sides going on.

That said, if a gun were to my head and I had to say one was slightly hotter than the other, a redhead beats out anyone else 95% of the time. Provided she's not Lindsay Lohan.
