Pajamas of course. Usually a short-sleeved top and long bottoms.

Well, because of my schedule I only get to eat about one big meal a day when I get off and a small lunch that never leaves me satisfied. Back in college when I didn't have to work I would eat a big meal around 10 AM and another big meal around 3 PM, then a small snack before bed.

65. Are you a gullible person?
No, I'm highly skeptical of...well, everything.

66. Do you need a boyfriend/girlfriend to be happy?
I don't NEED it, but it certainly makes being happy easier.

A job that involves staying at home, never having to meet new people or talk on the phone, and being able to sit in my pajamas and eat whenever I want.

68. Are you easy to get along with?

I'm weird that way. ;) That's one of two questions I changed. It originally asked if you (the reader) had met a MySpace buddy in real life. The second questions I changed was "Do you read Myspace bulletins?" which I felt didn't really apply to the BBS.

It originally asked if you (the reader) had met a MySpace buddy in real life.

Isn't that kind of the point of MySpace? :lol:

Also, good to know you are reading through the responses! ;)

In my case, I have only six Myspace buddies and don't log in quite often. One of them is actually my teen-aged nephew who's really too young to be "networking" on-line. :shifty: The others, I've known them only on the Web. Yes, I do like reading everyone's responses. I'll publish everything in a book someday, you see. :D
 
1. The phone rings; who do you want it to be?
Generally speaking: my ship, the U.S.S. Triumphant, standing by to beam me aboard. ;)

At 3AM: Obama, not Hillary. :D

2. When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart?
Not always. But - sometimes on the way in, I will stop at one of the cart returns and straighten it up to make it easier for the person who has to bring them back inside, and sometimes I will grab a freestanding cart that someone else didn't return and push it inside to use.

3. In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener?
About even.

4. Do you take compliments well?
I think so.

5. Do you play Sudoku?
No, but I like crossword puzzles.

6. If abandoned alone in the wilderness, would you survive?
Depends on the "wilderness" involved, but if you mean the deep forest, I think I'd be alright for at least a couple of weeks. On a relatively small desert island, about the same. In the arctic, maybe a few days. In the middle of endless desert, or out in a swamp, I'd be screwed pretty quick.

7. Do you like to ride horses?
Not as much as riding elephants.

8. Did you ever go to camp as a kid?
No.

9. What was your favorite game as a kid?
So many to choose from... but probably M.U.L.E. on the Commodore 64.

10. If a sexy person was pursuing you, but you knew he/she was married, would you go for it?
No.

11. Have you lied to get out of a date?
No.

I have, several times.

13. Do you like to pursue or be pursued?
I don't play games like that.

Klaatu, Barada, Nikto ;)

15. Do any songs make you cry?
Yes.

16. Are you continuing your education?
Yes, through professional certifications.

17. Do you know how to shoot a gun?
Yes. Pistols, rifles, shotguns. Tied for best in my hunter education class in high school when we were shooting clay pigeons with a pump-action shotgun. We got to shoot until we missed one. The person who tied with me was one of the cheerleaders - and we both beat out the kid whose whole thing in life was hunting. But, she wasn't pumping and firing all with one arm like I was. :cool:

18. If your house was on fire, what would be the first thing you grabbed?
Assuming family members don't count as "things", my portable hard drives.

19. How often do you read books?
Daily. Sci-Fi, history, and lots of tech manuals.

20. Do you think more about the past, present or future?
The present.

22. What color are your eyes?
Green.

23. How tall are you?
6' 1"

24. Where is your dream house located?
On a small plateau somewhere in the Ozark mountains, somewhere that seems isolated, but is still close enough to get to a city (Branson or Springfield, MO, or Fayetteville, AR) within 30 minutes.

25. Do you have a secret fetish?
No. But I do hate feet. And I make no secret out of it. So really, the total opposite of what you asked. :p

26. Have you tried sushi?
Red Snapper was not "very tasty", Kuni. My wife and daughter like it, though.

27. Have you ever taken pictures in a photo booth?
Yes. Used to seem mandatory at the arcades at the beach.

28. When was the last time you were at Olive Garden?
Sometime last year, after I talked myself into giving them another chance. That won't happen again. There are much better Italian places in town.

29. When was the last time you were at Church?
For a service of some sort? April 2001, for my grandmother's funeral.

For work? Last week.

If we count a Pagan gathering as "Church"? About three weeks ago.

30. Where was the farthest place you traveled today?
A town about 45 miles from home. So not far, today.

31. What was your favorite job?
Answer is censored. :devil:

32. Do you like mustard?
Yes - yellow mustard for hot dogs and regular hamburgers, mustard powder mixed into melted cheddar for my homemade cheeseburgers.

33. Do you prefer to sleep or eat?
Eat.

34. Do you look like your mom or dad?
Yes, but mostly my dad.

35. How long does it take you in the shower?

38. If you could fast forward your life, would you?
Heck no.

39. What did you do for New Year's?
Forced myself to stay up with the family to watch the ball drop in Time's Square.

40. Do you think The Grudge was scary?
What's that?

41. Could you relate to a character in Mean Girls?
Cady, because I have a tendency to look at society like I've been living someplace else for a long time, too.

Um... no. Not unless it's that really cheap fake chocolate that tastes like nasty raisins.

30. Where was the farthest place you traveled today?
Let's just say my "trips" are usually of the herbal variety. Score another pot reference!

31. What was your favorite job?
Did I mention I'm a homeless bum?

32. Do you like mustard?
That has nothing to do with anything. (In honesty, this response could apply to most of these questions. Kudos on the not-so-subtle choice of "69" for the number of survey questions, though.)

33. Do you prefer to sleep or eat?
I can't choose. It's like the Sophie's choice of bodily functions.

34. Do you look like your mom or dad?
With any luck I'm an even blend of both, but some tree frog might have snuck in there.

35. How long does it take you in the shower?
Shower? What?

36. Can you do the splits?
Is that a new dance craze? I never can keep up with these kids and their crazy fads. Now, get off my lawn! (Actually, a public park.)

37. What movie do you want to see right now?
District Nine. (No joke here.)

38. If you could fast forward your life, would you?

If I wanted to do that, I'd just kill myself now. It's not like my life is going anywhere.

39. What did you do for New Year's?
I sat passed out in my own drool, feeling for all the world like an Auld Lang Syne.

43. Do you have an "ex box" with pics and letters from past lovers?
I don't have money for video games.

44. Was your mom a cheerleader?
I know very little about my family history, since the Amusement Park incident occurred when I was not yet born.

45. What's the last letter of your middle name?
"†"

46. Do you like your middle name?
It's unpronounceable. So, yes.

47. How many hours of sleep do you get a night?
Not counting a drunken stupor, at least twelve.

48. Do you like care bears?
Yes, I, like, care about most animals. Except for horses. F**k them.

49. What do you buy at the movies?
The central premise. Otherwise, the notion that you can outrun explosions.

52. What do you wear to sleep?
The clothes on my back, duh!

54. How many meals do you eat a day?
My GOD this goes on forever. Surely no one is reading this anymore. Are you reading this? Really? Don't screw with me. How about now? Okay, good. Time for the secret answer to last week's puzzle: It's a trick question! The doctor is a woman!

55. Is your tongue pierced?
Ah tawed oo ell em tat ah din at wan de persin, bah dey wooden issen!!

57. Do you check other BBS members' profiles/pictures/blogs/websites?
Yes. As I said, I prefer to pursue rather than be pursued, so…Oh God, not again… *screams*

58. Do you like funny or serious people better?
I prefer Funny People, but I'll withhold judgment on Apatow's sequel "Serious People" until it hits the theaters.

59. Ever been to L.A.?

This reads like a big "F you" to New York.

60. Did you eat a cookie today?
I've decided life is more fun if you call everything you eat a "cookie." So, in short, yes.

61. Do you use cuss words in other languages?
Yes, but only languages that I've invented.

62. Do you steal or pay for your music downloads?
I groove to only one beat, and that's the pulse of the street.

63. Do you hate chocolate?
I enjoy chocolate so much that I often insert items into my mouth that match chocolate's physical description. Unfortunately, I am often disappointed by the results.

64. What do you and your parents fight about the most?

Why they dumped me at an amusement park. It should be noted this "conversation" takes place in my head, because I haven't actually seen my parents since that time. :(

65. Are you a gullible person?
No. In fact, I'm quite sharp at detecting a scam. For example, the Nigerian government just recently attempted to install a false political leader. I was so enraged at this, I offered my financial assistance to the brother of that region's legitimately elected prince. I probably shouldn't divulge this, but as a sort of "thank you," I've been promised a rather substantial financial windfall in the millions of dollars. Here I come, home ownership!

69. What is your favorite time of day?
Being not of your corporeal plane of existence, the abstract concept of "time" has little to no meaning to me. *ka-PWINGG!* (Oh, I should also mention I'm seriously mentally ill. I might be that guy from "The Soloist," but I can't be sure.)
 
I wonder how many folks actually bother to read others' responses in this and similar threads.

From the thread, it looks like many of us do. Generally I read those of posters I know, and skim those of other persons.

Me too!

I didn't read any before posting my own answers though -and am still way behind :(

I have, however, noticed that putting the shopping carts back where they belong, instead of letting them clutter up the car park, is a feminine trait -possibly with the exception of where you won't get your deposited 'coin' back if you don't and by the nicer guys :p
 
I was a little disappointed that this wasn't about another type of 69.

I knew I liked you. :devil:

Does anyone actually read these?

I'm working my way through them and am finding them most entertaining. :p But, I decided to do mine before getting too far (don't want to "cheat" or anything.) ;)

And since I'm trying to participate more on the BBS again, here we go for what it's worth:

1. The phone rings; who do you want it to be?
an old friend I haven’t spoken to in awhile; any one of them.

2. When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart?
Always. The lazy a**holes who leave carts in parking spaces are a huge pet peeve of mine. I almost always take one of the a**hole's carts back when I get to the grocery store, as well. But, really, I'm not bitter or angry. For the most part. :p

A bit of both, in turns.

Better than I used to.

Never again! :alienblush: What? I was young and gullible and weak.

11. Have you lied to get out of a date?
Yes.

12. Could you date someone with different religious beliefs than you?
Have done many times.

Both, I suppose.

14. Use three words to describe yourself?
loyal, kind, laid-back (the hyphen makes it one word, right?) ;)

15. Do any songs make you cry?
There’s one: “She misses him on Sunday the most” by Diamond Rio, that reminds me so much of my grandmother (whim I adored) in the first year after my grandfather passed away …. It’ll get me misty-eyed every time.

16. Are you continuing your education?
I try to educate myself, albeit informally, every day.

17. Do you know how to shoot a gun?
Yes.

18. If your house was on fire, what would be the first thing you grabbed?

19. How often do you read books?
Constantly; always reading at least one.

20. Do you think more about the past, present or future?
I guess I’d have to say the future, if forced to pick just one.

LOVE IT!

27. Have you ever taken pictures in a photo booth?
Yes, several times, back in the day (I’m THAT old.)

28. When was the last time you were at Olive Garden?
I couldn’t really say. The last time I remember was around 1989, but I might have been at some point since then. Not much for the chain faux ethnic food.

29. When was the last time you were at Church?
May 1, 2004 for my nephew’s wedding. Other than for a wedding or funeral, of my own volition …? Couldn’t tell ya.

30. Where was the farthest place you traveled today?
Nashua, NH. Woo Hoo! :rolleyes:

34. Do you look like your mom or dad?
Dad; “spitting image”, as they say.

LOL! Not anymore.

37. What movie do you want to see right now?

:guffaw: No way in he-double-hockey-sticks. :p

45. What's the last letter of your middle name?
"E"

46. Do you like your middle name?
I do now. It’s a family tradition, passed down to the first son of the first son for several generations. I hated it when I was a kid though, because it seemed “weird” and because the only time ever I heard it was when my mom was mad at me. :evil:

47. How many hours of sleep do you get a night?
Usually 5 – 6.

Only as toys for my dogs to shred.

Always. Saved my life (literally) earlier this year. :bolian:

52. What do you wear to sleep?
A smile. :devil:

Three generally.

55. Is your tongue pierced?
God no! I’m WAY too old for that.

On occasion.

62. Do you steal or pay for your music downloads?

Absolutely not. I love my husband and our life together, but I finally got to a place in my life where I sort of like myself and enjoy my own company.

Thanks! That book is awesome. I remember reading the ending while sitting at the park and trying to conceal my tears while running home. :lol:
