yet another quiz. real update... i dunno. later.
the_lost_collar, from whom I stole this, is absolutely dead on about this quiz. She pointed out a fact that I probably would never have picked up on it had she not pointed it out: a totally absurd number of these could be sensefully answered "Your mom." Observe, as I proceed to do so AND give my answers (because I simply couldn't resist)...
1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4.
"can be seen that this implements the function"
2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can...what do u find?
Your mom.The wrapper from an empty box of Wintergreen Altoids.
3. What is the last thing you watched on TV?
Your mom.The Real Wedding Crashers. Not by choice; it was on after Heroes.
4. Without looking, guess what time it is:
4:55
5. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time?
5:09
6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?
Your mom.Zhe talking on the phone, Doug laughing, and someone's cell phone ringing.
7. When did you last step outside? What were you doing?

10. Did you dream last night?
I recall that I did, but not what about.
11. When did you last laugh?
At... your mom.Earlier today, at someone's comment somewhere or other on teh intarweb.
12. What is on the walls of the room you are in?
Your mom. She's into that kind of thing.A few snapshots--skip_conrad and I on our Appalachian Trail hike; an old high school picture of Roth, Cricketts and I; and one of me, abstractseaweed, my parents, my brother and his wife. A few Mobius strips. A picutre of the Embedded Cores team. A Jones cream soda label. A white board. A magnetic dart board.
13. Seen anything weird lately?
Definitely your mom.Not terribly weird, but amusing: in the Whataburger drive-thru, this woman had a fairly sizeable dog in the passenger seat that very much seemed to want to be in her face. She wasn't pushing him away, either. It was just totally dog-in-face. Hope she doesn't let him do that while she's driving.
14. What do you think of this quiz?
Meh, it's okay. Nothing special. But I like quizzes.
15. What is the last film you saw?
The one starring your mom.The Village.

A huge monitor. A... a butler? Someone to take care of stuff so I don't have to, anyway. And I guess that would be "hire", not "buy". Whatever.
17. Tell me something about you that I don't know:
Well I can't say something that NONE of you would know. But... um... I really like chicken?
18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics what would it be?
Not enough qualification on this question: I'd make myself omnipotent, that way I could change any number of things.
19. Do you like to dance?
Yes, though I'm not particularly good at it.
20. George Bush:
What about him? I was too young during his presidency to have very strong feelings about it. If you're talking about W... well, I think you know how I feel there.
21. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?
Assuming I ever have children. Not really sure; I've never given female names much thought. I do kinda like "Jamie"...

11. What do you think about the person who took this survey before you?
She's crazy. In an amusing way.
12. What were you doing at midnight last night?
Once again, your mom.Um... thinking... I think just sitting at my computer dazedly before I made it to bed. I had a migraine brewing :(
13. What did your last text message you received on your mobile say?
It was informing me of hanging out plans for tonight.

"just". Also: "really", "actually", "anyway".
16.Who told you he/she loved you last?

18. How many drugs have you done in the last three days?
Er... I had a beer. Pretty sure that's it, as I (stupidly) didn't take something for the migraine before going to bed.

None. Digital, baby. And I don't even use that very often.
20. Who was the last person you had a chance meeting with?
Your mom.Yesterday in the grocery store I ran into a guy from work I hadn't seen in a while. I don't remember when we first met--maybe orientation, when we first started here?--but we've been friends (or acquaintances, at least, but I like him enough to call him friend) for quite a while.
21. Favorite age you have been so far?
I always say my current age, as I like to enjoy life as I live it. Barring that, though... probably 19? That was a pretty good year. So was 20, but there was a bit too much drama to make it a favorite.
22. Your worst enemy?
There's someone who I really dislike at work because he always looks sour and makes far too much noise, but I may be judging him unfairly since I've never so much as talked to the guy. And I wouldn't go so far as to call him an "enemy". Human imperfection is my worst enemy.
23. What is your current desktop picture?
Your mom.On desktop: a view from a bird blind of a swamp in upstate NY. On laptop: "Birds are Weird" cover picture from Penny Arcade. On work compy: color gradients corresponding vaguely to the 4 elements plus light and dark.

Your mom."Okay."

Your mom.I like lots of people. All my friends, in fact :P
27. The last song you listened to?
I think Guster's "The New Underground" was playing when I turned off the car.

I don't have any desire to do that.
30. IF YOU COULD BE DOING ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE ?
Yep, you guessed it: your mom.Similar to above, I'd make myself omnipotent. But of things I can do, go home. And I think I will. Ciao!
