2. What curse word do you use the most?
Damn. Mostly because I use it alone and with most other streams of curse words ie god fucking damn it

No. I don't know much about my own musical likes, so whenever I make a collection of music or buy my own music I don't seem to enjoy listening to it. So, all I need is a radio. Would seem like a total waste to have a portable music player full of music I don't want to listen to.
