what's up
i got married and got into grad skool. oh yeah
1. You make some macaroni and cheese, or, say, a lipton rice side thingy, or something for your own personal consumption in a medium saucepan. Upon completion, do you transfer the food to a bowl or do you just eat from the saucepan?
put it in a bowl, yo.
2. While in the shower, would you say you spend most of your time facing the water, with your back to the water, or about half and half?
i think i spend more time facing away from the water.
3. When you come home from work, do you enter and immediately lock the door, or do you leave your door unlocked while you are at home for the most part? What about your car, do you ever leave it unlocked or do you lock it no matter where you are and how long you're going to be away from it?
the door's locked most of the time. when people are dealing crack at the entrance to your apartment complex it makes you a little paranoid.
4. You are going to bed and you go to charge your cell phone, but you see that the battery meter reads full on the display. Do you still plug it in to charge?
no. if the charge runs out people can still leave me a message at home. the gadget gets fed when it's hungry.
5. If you live in an apartment-type setting, do you make a somewhat conscious effort to not slam cabinet doors, stomp around, run the dishwasher, etc late at night?
yeah. my property manager lives underneath. that doesn't stop him from crushing beer cans with his can-crusher machine on Sunday mornings though.

'zzZZzz...what the fuck?...zzz'

6. When you were in college, did you pick up a school newspaper and then leave it strewn around the next classroom you landed in?
yes. i did the crossword every day in class for almost the first two years of college. UCSB had a really great campus paper that came out daily, so everyone read it.
7. Which do you do more often: eat fast food or eat at home?
eat at home. i like burgers though.
8. If something has both microwave and stove top directions, which way do you typically make it?
i like using the stove and cooking with actual heat. but sometimes i'm just too damn hungry.
9. Strictly speaking on soft tacos here, who is better, Taco Bell, Taco Inn, Taco John's, or someone else (preferably drive-thru fast food answers only)?
uhhh...well, here on the central coast Taco Bell has monlithic control of all fast-food Mexican, but i do like their soft tacos. still, there's like a million taquerias in my town so i switch up the mexican food choice pretty often.
10. Who has better hashbrowns: Village Inn or Perkins? What about IHOP or Waffle House?
once again, we're talkin' chains that have all kept out of my town. i only get to eat IHOP when i visit down south. Santa Cruz Diner, y'all.
11. Do you like/mind to see movies that will presumably be sold out or would you rather just wait a few weeks or go on a weekday?
oh man, i usually wait. i've had some fucking awful opening weekend viewing experiences. at this point i only go if i'm worried i'll hear all about the movie if i wait even a few days before seeing it. i like to actually hear movies when i watch them.
12. Do you find humor in seeing frat boys leave a chair in between one another at the movies or do you yourself participate in this activity as well?
i think that's hilarious. i guess some people are worried their sublimated feelings might jump through and they'll find themselves spontaneously making out with their 'brothers' if they're too close in a darkened theater. safety first!
13. Do you recycle? If so, more than just cans or newspapers? Does recycling day excite you as much as it does me?
i like the idea of recycling in a science-fiction dork kinda way. i've heard people argue that it doesn't help the environment as much as people say, but i still think it's just plain cool, no matter how much it directly helps humanity. like the space program.
14. Now that high school is roughly 5 years or more behind the most of us that read my lj, do you have different feelings toward it that have changed recently? Looking back, did you enjoy high school?
i did well for myself in high school. it was good.
15. Do you have a fascination with Boston or New York? What about Venice or Paris or Vancouver?
west coast is the best coast, yo.
funny you should mention it, i was looking into moving to vancouver someday...
16. If you had to live on a coast, would you pick East or West and why?
uhh...see my answer to the previous question. i think i'm too easygoing to live on the east coast. i don't know, maybe i'd fit in okay. everybody i've met from there have been really intense though, i'm just a santa cruz-california dude at heart.
17. Did you ever want to be on Global Guts, Wild and Crazy Kids, Legends of the Hidden Temple, or Carmen San Diego?
oh man, yeah. especially legend of the hidden temple. wild and crazy kids always looked super-ghetto-rigged though, like they set up three slip-and-slides in a public park and said they were doing a tv show.
18. Is Will Ferrell funny?
yeah, in some stuff. he just seems to be mailing in performances these days though.
19. What is your favorite incense (or candle) scent?
i rarely get tired of nag, which is good 'cause you can get it anywhere. i'm branching out though.
20. Do you like scary movies?
yeah. i'm making up for when i was a kid and couldn't watch them at all without being able to sleep for days.
21. How many days could you go without doing laundry and without re-wearing anything, and what would you run out of first that would cause you to have to finally wash clothes?
a few days i guess. i only have four pairs of pants and five pairs of underwear. i usually re-wear pants. black pants.
22. Do you use Tide?
no. that shit's expensive yo.
23. Do you use bar soap or a fluffy poofy thingy with liquid body wash in the shower?
i used bar soap until recently, when i realized the body wash/poofy thing cuts the time i can take a shower in half. half the time! that's extra time sleeping!
24. Do you wash your hair every time you take a shower?
yeah. my scalp's itchy.
25. And finally, Stones or Beatles?
the beatles.
i also got a hedgehog on the computer
