survey goodness
surveys are good for you
1. Do you like having your picture taken?
No. I realize the irony of posting my picture all over the place on my site, but those pcitures are different. I only post the good ones, and if they suck nobody sees them but me.
2. If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go and why?
Mmmm. I'd like to be on a beach in Greece right now. But I wouldn't turn down a trip to pretty much anywhere.
3. Have you ever done crossword puzzles?
Not with any regularity.
4. Pick up the closest book and write a sentence at random from it.
"Before the 1991 U.S. Department of Education policy, many professionals assumed that students with ADHD were being served under the category of learning disability." (From Teaching Students with Special Needs in Inclusive Settings, Smith et al.)
5. Do the same with a lyric from either a cd or the radio.
"Got that flavor
How I miss you
If I only
Once could kiss you
I'd be happy
For one moment
Of my lifetime
I'd be there"
6. Have you ever tried to analyze your own dreams?
Yes, but I don't think I was very successful.
7. Do you ever sing to yourself while doing everyday tasks?
All the time. I sing in the car, in the shower, which I'm cleaning the kichen, while I'm doing laundry...
8. What's your favorite color of post-it note?
pink
9. Have you ever lied to get off the phone or out of talking to someone on line?
yes, and I'm not going to feel guilty about it. I shouldn't have to talk to weirdos if I don't want to.
10. What does your bedroom look like?
It's much smaller than my old bedroom, so it's a bit crowded. My queen sized bed and two bedside tables entirely fill one wall. I refuse to put the bed in the corner, even if it does save space. That's just asking for awkward sleeping if ever anyone is to sleep with me. On the opposite wall there is a dresser. That's really all there's room for.
11. Do you read your horoscope?
Only in magazines so I can look to see what dates I'll be getting some.
12. Would you rather chew gum or use mouthwash?
I'm kind of addicted to mints, actually.
13. How many times a year about are you sick?
My kids get me sick. I think I caught 4 colds this year?
14. Ever been in an airplane?
Many times.
15. What color are your eyes?
Blue, but sometimes they look green.
16. Have you ever been arrested?
No. Not even close. When they did my background check for my teaching license they probably thought my record was a little too clean.
17. What is your favorite t-shirt?
I have one from the youth hostel in Stratford-upon-Avon that I like.
18. What food disgusts you the most?
Pork rinds.
19. What is your favorite soda?
I like Sprite, but I never drink soda.
20. Name one person your life is made better by.
My coteacher.
21. Can you do math with ease?
Yes. I made it to basic calc in college, and I always did well in algebra. I taught my kids some pretty difficult things including base 5 and binary, and two step algebra equations.
22. Are you a vegetarian?
No, but I hardly ever eat red meat. Meaning, I only eat it if I'm at someone's house and I don't want to be rude.
23. Name one of your passions in life.
Travel.
24. What's your least favorite time of day?
I get groggy and tired around 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon.
25. What color is the inside of your head when you close your eyes?
reddish-orangish
26. Ever listen to classical music?
Sure, I like classical music.
27. Do you work? What is your job?
