i have nothing to do, so here! survey!
it's a survey! via jinxremoving.
1.) Most disgusting candy flavor:
Liquorice. <--oh man, seconded.
2.) Song you turn off every time you hear it:
"don't speak" by no doubt. that will make me change the channel every time.
3.) Ordinary smell that makes you gag:
this soap that my school has in all the bathrooms. it's hideous.
4.) Movie you have walked out of:
Taken. someone ought to put up a warning...
5.) Ordinary sound that makes you cringe:
it's not the sound so much as it is the VOLUME of the C-5 planes that fly directly over my house. i don't pay attention to it most of the time, but when i'm outside i have to plug my ears.
6.) Band/singer you feel is highly overrated:
hm...i *want* to like vampire weekend, i really do, but so far the only song i can manage any enthusiasm for is "cape cod kwassa kwassa." also: the decemberists. i know, heresy.
7.) One person on your list you won't send this to:
--
8.) Worst subject in school:
in high school? definitely physics. i loved it, but it did not love me back. i pulled a D. in college, i've done pretty well so far, barring the years at smith that were much more about attendance than about skill.
9.) Sport you've tried where you seriously lack talent:
ha, wakeboarding, maybe? it was fun trying. i haven't tried that many sports. i doubt i would ever be a basketball star at 5'1", though.
10.) Type/style of clothing you don't find flattering:
high-waisted pants. the problem is, i am so ridiculously short-waisted that such pants literally constrict my ribs. i almost go from boob directly to pants. (also i realize this is hilarious to some of you right now. trousers trousers trousers nope i don't think i can do it. PANTS.)
11.) Place you have no desire to go on vacation:
places with exotic poisonous things. i've got the ones at home figured out, thanks. i realize this makes me unadventurous. if i could figure out how to get over my fear of things like malaria and leishmaniasis, we'd be good to go.
12.) Color that does nothing for you:
Vols orange, though i enjoy it.
13.) Least favorite job you've ever had:
selling computers. god that job was awful.
14.) Career you feel it would be a mistake for you to pursue:
anything that involves me punching a clock. i would be fired posthaste.
15.) Board/card game you play poorly:
all of them! but i like board games and card games.
16.) Least favorite genre of movie:
Torture porn. But also just dumb predictable comedies. <---seconded on the torture porn. i like comedies, even dumb ones, as long as they're not *totally* predictable.
17.) Least favorite genre of music:
how about lite jazz and easy listening? not lounge, which is its own brilliant subgenre, but the kenny g school of music.
18.) A book you've read that you felt was lame:
sigh. let us rephrase. i did not like dickens's A Tale of Two Cities. however, having read Hard Times as an adult and enjoying it (much to my awe and surprise), i might be willing to give Tale another shot.
19.) Least favorite insect/arachnid:
brown recluses. DO NOT WANT. i don't want black widows, either, but they're easier to spot. also? SCORPIONS. interestingly, i'm not bothered by tarantulas as long as they're not sitting on the couch next to me, or, you know, on me. or big enough to hiss at me AUGH
20.) Worst place to buy clothing:
i don't particularly like buying clothes over the internet, but sometimes i can find my actual size in stuff. i don't really shop at abercrombie, though i like its kid sibling american eagle, oddly enough. i dunno.
21.) Worst date ever:
i didn't do much actual dating, just hooking up with people i liked. i did go on a blind date once that i had high hopes for but fell completely flat. i've also had dates that i didn't realize were dates until about halfway through. *that* was awkward.
22.) Food you really dislike:
cottage cheese. it is the evilest, foulest substance on earth and it comes directly from the pits of hell.
23.) Least favorite holiday:
i dunno, easter has cadbury eggs. what could possibly suck as a holiday? oh i know! columbus day. we get the day off, but yay slavery and smallpox! yeah, that's it.
24.) Most obnoxious pet you've ever had:
WHAT. <---i second this what.
25.) Least favorite style of home decoration:
cracker barrel decoration. some of you know exactly what i mean.
