surveyor

Feb 06, 2007 13:05

Hi. I have nothing of interest to write right now, since I have to go to the bathroom and I will come up with something later. For now:

I stole this survey from Michelle, who's just some chick on my Friends list. Dunno who she is or what she does, but it looked like a cool survey. So thanks, Michelle, whoever you are.

:P



Mark the things that you have:
I'm sorry, but how can you have "Cousins" in the below list, but not have AUNT or UNCLE?~~! So I'm adding them.

[X] A mother.
[ ] A father
[ ] A younger brother.
[ ] A younger sister.
[ ] An older brother.
[ ] An older sister.
[ ] Grandfather
[ ] Grandmother
[X] Cousins
[ ] Half brothers
[X] Half sisters
[ ] Step Brother
[ ] Step Sister
[X] Aunt
[ ] Uncle

As you can see, I have like, uh, 4, if I ever find my sister, 5 members of my family. YES!

1. Are you a child of the 70s, 80s, or 90s?
I'm so old that I'm actually a child of the 80s AND the 90s. I was around for all the 80s synthpop bands, and I was around for the grunge explosion, then the mid-90s industrial explosion, and then the late 90s pop

explosion. Yet I was also there for Empire Strikes Back fever, GI Joe, Transformers, My Little Pony and all that other good stuff. That's the advantage to being an old man, kids. I'm a member of Generation X and Y,

commonly known as Generation Suck It.

2. Where were you born?
Suburban General, in somewhere, PA. It doesn't exist anymore, I think they knocked it down and it's a Hooters or something.

3. If you were born in another country how old were you when you moved?
N/A.

4. What city did you grow up in?
Ambler, which is right outside of Philadelphia.

5. Did you enjoy your childhood?
For what I can remember, yeah, I was pretty happy. I have good memories of preschool and my various conquests from 1- 4th grade (yes, I got started with girls REEEEAL early).

6. When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up?
An actor who only played antagonists, a musician, a scientist or some sort of palentologist or archeologist.

8. Name the first memorable vacation you took as a kid?
I took a vacation with my family to Hawaii when I was 2, and I do have memories of that, actually - several memories of eating powdered donuts with my grandmom on the balcony of the hotel, watching Rescue 911 or

some show like that and watching a kid drown at the bottom of the pool and as a result completely being petrified of water and drowning for the rest of my life, and a lot of memories of, as my mother puts it, "Walking

down the beach, walking up to a little girl, grabbing her by the hand and taking her away, and then when I was tired of her, I'd find another little girl and leave the original one behind. Or sometimes he'd grab three little

girls and walk away." So I was a PLAYA $$ <3

9. Your first best friend...?
Melissa, who I think went to the same preschool I did, and then ended up going to Germantown Academy with me for Kindergarten, and she was the girl I spent all my time with. You could also count David in here,

but I don't remember anything about hanging out with him back in the day.

10. Are they still your friend?
Neither one are.

12. How did you meet them?
Pre-school/Our moms knew one another.

13. Can you name all the schools you ever attended?
Sunny Day Preschool, Germantown Academy (Grades 1 - middle of 4), Shady Grove Elementary (middle of 4 - 5), Wissahickon Middle School (6 - 8), Wissahickon High School (8 - 12), MONTCO (12)

14. Who was your first crush?
Lisa Westmoreland, who I got together with as soon as I hit kindergarten :D. She was the one who gave me my first kiss and french kiss at the ripe old age of like, 5. But yeah, she was my first crush - and my first

girlfriend, actually, we went out for 5 years.

17. Were you closer to your Mom or Dad as a kid?
Didn't know my dad. Still don't. I was close to all of the people that raised me, my mom, my aunt and my grandmom.

18. Do you have any embarrassing school stories to share?
One time in First Grade I couldn't find the bathroom so I peed my pants, but they were shorts and were dark, so no one noticed, and it didn't smell, and seriously, NO ONE NOTICED, but I had to sit there for like, 4

more hours in pee-soaked shorts until I got picked up. That sucked.

19. What was the first record, tape or CD you remember buying?
I never bought any of those things myself, but the first tape I ever got was Nine Inch Nails' "Pretty Hate Machine" when it came out, in 1989 (and was in the RAP section at Sam Goody), and I remember the first three

CDs I ever got (they were all at once, as part of a christmas present) were Green Day's "Dookie", No Doubt's "Tragic Kingdom" and NIN's "Downward Spiral".

21. How old is a good age to have kids?
It's all relative, but I think around 26 to 30 is a good age. It all depends on what's going on in your life of course, but I think that that's an ideal age to have them, as you're not too old where there's a huge generational

gap and you'll never be able to be friends with your kids, and it's not too short so where you end up as too MUCH of a friend to your kid instead of a parent.

22. Are you scared of anything?
Michelle SO copped out on this question. I will answer it. :P Heights, falling from said heights, drowning, burning to death, suffocating, blood clots, flying, flying giving me a blood clot, dying a slow painful death,

bugs, any kind of bugs, seeing pictures of dead bodies, never getting married and dying alone.

23. What was your favorite class in primary school?
Primary school? What's that, elementary school? Gifted, easy. It wasn't a boring class that made you think "what is the use of all this crap I'm learning?".

24. Did you buy school lunch or bring your own?
Both. On and off. We'd get lunch calendars so I'd bring money when they had food I liked and I'd bag it the other days.

25. Broke any bones or had any freaky accidents as a kid?
Dropped a 3-litre soda bottle on my big toe, breaking it and making my toenail fall off, I broke my middle finger and I forget how, but I never got it set properly so it healed all fucked up and has a big lump on the side,

man, I did a bunch of stupid shit. I can't remember it though. Don't do drugs!

26. Were you a meanie head?
As a little kid? No, I was the shy nice kid.

27. Favorite board game of all time?
This is hard. Can I cop out of this question? I like too many board games. Life IS one of my favorites, but then there's operation and especially Fireball Mountain...dude, Fireball Mountain RULED....copping out!

28. Did you play house or pretend to be a super hero?
I pretended to be House, MD. On a serious note, if you know me at ALL you'll know the answer to this is that I OBVIOUSLY played house, duh.

29. Seriously are you still just a kid at heart?
Dude, I just bought three action figures yesterday and I have a pile of 40 of them on my table, and when you walk into my bathroom there's a framed Pokemon picture. What do YOU think?

~~~~~~~~~
What is in the back seat of your car right now?
Air. I don't have a car, cockbag.

Does anyone have any blackmail on you?
You mean does anyone have anything incriminating they could USE as blackmail on me? Well, considering I pretty much say EVERYTHING in my Livejournal, I really don't know what you could use to blackmail me,

and what for, considering I don't have anything. What, you want my copy of Primal or something? Or Electroplankton? You can blackmail me with how lame I was in school, but who cares? No, I don't think so.

There aren't any horrible secrets in my past. So no.

Is there anything pink within 10 ft. of you?
Yes, a Bratz balloon (which strangely depicts, in order, Michelle, Kait and Ashley), a star shaped music balloon and a Spongebob balloon with Patrick on it that I got for my birthday. Also, a pair of...well, no, those are

red, they're not pink. Heh. Heheheheheheheheh.

Yes. I always wear socks.

Iced tea.

Yep.

I've never had a tan and I never WILL have a tan. Case closed. Tans disgust me.

How many times were you Student of the Month in elementary school?
Can't remember, but I know I was at least once, because I remember the whole stupid deal they made of it.

How old do you want to be when you have kids?
Well, uh, if you follow the plans I have, I'll be like, 29 - 30 by the time I have Envy.

Have you ever drank your can soda from a straw?
Um, isn't that the only way to DRINK canned soda? Any other way and it's too fizzy. It's more fun with a straw, dude. I love straws.

What are your siblings names?
Well, there's my half-sister. Her name is Tara Joanne Scharff (I assume that's her last name, I don't know if she's married or anything - it's my father's last name). Funny thing is, I'm called PJ and she's called TJ.

HAR! I'm trying to find her, but I don't know if she's in New York, South Beach, FL or Guam right now.

Where is your dad right now?
Um...I'm pretty sure he's in South Beach, Florida. My aunt lived around that area before she moved to northern Florida, and she SWORE she saw him - to the extent that she spent like, the entire day watching this

guy. I also looked him up on Military.com and they found him, unique middle name and all. There's an e-mail address, but I'm nervous. I don't know what to do.

What was the last thing you said?
"Okay, so I'll call you Thursday, hon. All right. Be good. Talk to you then, good luck. Bye!" to Kim, my ex, yesterday.

Where is your mom right now?
Sleeping.

What color is your watch?
Well, it WILL be silver, but I don't have it yet. My mom's getting it engraved and shit.

What do you think of when you think of Australia?
Kangaroos. And Bufu Frogs, thanks to National Geographic.

Do you go in at a fast food place or just hit the drive-thru?
Drive-thru if at ALL possible. But I haven't eaten fast food in more than like...Christ. Four years? Three years?

Do you have a roommate?
Nope. When I move to the area around Rittenhouse Square in Center City, I plan on having a roommate. I BETTER HAVE A ROOMMATE OR NOTHIN' IS GONNA BE HAPPENIN'. *cough*

Do you have any bad habits?
I have a ton of horrible nervous habits, nail biting, pen biting, drumming on tables, playing with my hair incessantly, I pick my nose (and so do you) and a bunch of other annoying habits that drive people nuts.

Do you know anyone name Lori?
Yessir.

What color is your moms hair?
It's really black, but it's been dyed blonde for the past 13 years.

What happened to you in 1993?
I lost my virginity to someone five years older than me! YEEEE-ES! It was AWESOME. Thank you internet. Heheheh. And thank you pedopheiliac girls.

Does your first memory involve your dad?
My very, very first memory is of me, at the age of one, sitting in front of the TV and ignoring it to read a Sesame Street book about Cookie Monster spilling milk and a kitten lapping it up - and I was reading it, not just

memorizing it read to me and repeating the words.

Do you remember singing any songs as kids?
Uh. My mom had a massive record collection and my father was a musician. It's kind of hard not to under those circumstances.

When was the last time you went swimming?
I haven't been swimming since I went to Maryland with Jen, Jessie, Randy and Julie at Julie's parent's shorehouse, and we drove to that one island with the wild horses and we all went in the ocean there and goofed

around. That was during the period where I was trying SO HARD to get Jen to like me, but I don't think she was interested. God dammit.

Has your luggage ever gotten lost?
Nope. I try not to check any luggage. In fact, every time I've flown, I've managed to bring it all on-board with me. Because I'm that awesome.

Biggest annoyance in your life right this minute?
Hm - not having health insurance, because I pay a LOT for my medication and my doctor wants me to have a sleep study done, an upper GI done, she wants me to go see a pulmonologist, and I want to see a

hematologist as part of my lawsuit against my doctor in charge of coumadin (not my awesome, normal doctor, some bitch doctor who didn't know what she was doing) slash hospital. Aside from that...not having her

here for good. Massive writer's block on my albums. The inability to find a band for my live shows coming up, which is really pisisng me off if I have to cancel these shows. Not being able to fast forward live five years.

Tattoo fever.

Have you ever thought it would be cool to smash a guitar?
Already have, and it is cool. It's really good to get your hate out.

Do you like watching a bonfire?
Campfires - nice, sweet, good to sit around in a circle and have conversations with people that you'll always treasure. Bonfires - loud, noisy, way too bright, they smell bad and give me a headache and they're full of

drunken morons.

Are you allergic to anything?
Pine needles, milk, nuts (last two not that bad, but they still produce allergic reactions, although it's nothing too serious), really bad hayfever and usually spring allergies, but in the city that's kind of disappeared, since

I'm not as exposed as I was in the suburbs.

What is one thing you miss about your past?
Innocence. Being able to do anything and not have to worry about life. Going down the shore.

Favorite shoes that you wear all the time?
My steel-toed boots.

What is one thing you've learned about life recently?
Everybody lies.

Are you jealous of anyone?
Of course.

Is anyone jealous of you?
Everyone is. Why do you think my book, "Why I Am So Great", is a number one bestseller? Because I'm that fucking awesome and you know it, dickhead.

If you were a crayon, what colour would you be?
Palecurve Blue.

What color are your bedroom walls?
White. When I get my new apartment, different shades of blue, purple and green.

What is the weirdest thing about your parents?
My mom's favorite songs are "The Becoming (Still)" by NIN, "The Fragile" by NIN, "99 Problems" by Jay-Z, "Another World" by Beborn Beton, "Trust You" by Mesh, she loves Nirvana, Depeche Mode, Linkin Park, NIN,

Marilyn Manson, Type O Negative and Skinny Puppy. I'm sorry, it's really cool that we can sit there and watch the concert DVDs of these bands, but at the same time it's like "...I'm watching Type O live with my

MOM. What the FUCK?!".

How many keys are on your keychain?
Four and a key to my private lockbox at the bank.

No. Used to do it to 1-800-GOFISHY all the time, though.

Yes.

Have you ever set a marshmallow on fire?
Uh, hasn't everyone?

Have you ever thrown up on an airplane?
No. I try to avoid throwing up.

Have you ever made a snow angel?
Yep. Even now I still do it. The last time I really made one, the lenses popped out of my old pair of glasses. How and why, I'm not sure.

Have you ever burnt yourself?
A fucking thousand times.

Rock, paper or scissors?
Paper. No one EVER expects paper. HAHAHAHAHAAHHAHFAIFHASOIF~~!!!!!!1

I had a Transformers one, then a Madballs one, then GI Joe, then Madballs, then Transformers.

What would you rather have: a housekeeper, a cook or a chauffeur?
WTF? I can already cook and I'm a master driver/parker. A housekeeper.

What's the last thing you bought?
Alkaline Trio's "Remains", some batteries, some Iced Tea, I can't mention two of the things here because they're for someone, etc. etc. etc.

Last thing you got in the mail?
My gas bill. How. Exciting. My life IS SO BORING

Do you use an umbrella?
Only if: a) the rain is freezing or b) it's pouring. Otherwise, it's just rain. Who cares?

Would you rather be in a long line in a drive-thru or at the grocery store?
If the grocery store has like, Cosmo and Allure or some good celeb gossip magazines like Us and whatnot, that. If not, then the drive-thru so I can blast my music and look like a jackass.

TEH EDN!!!!! YAY!!!!
