(I used to have terrible teeth as a child. They got better.) |
| × I hate my toes. (I love my toes. I'd walk funny without them.) | ✓ I did this meme even though I wasn't tagged by the person who took it before me.

(Once, a long time ago, I saw a therapist briefly. Didn't help much.) | ✓ I believe in ghosts and the paranormal. (Not sure what they are, but yeah. I've had too much first-hand experience to not believe in it.) |

And ain't it fun?) | × I weigh myself, pee/poo, and then weigh myself again. (No, I just pee/poo and then weigh myself. Why weigh before?) |

| × I am a Libertarian. (Okay, I so just read this as "I am a Librarian".) | × I can speak more than one language. (I want to learn Russian, German, Hebrew, Irish, Scots, and Canadian. Right now, I'm just speak the one language, because American public schools basically SUCK.) | × I can fall asleep even if the whole room is as noisy as it can be. (It depends on how knackered I am.) |

But I was actually waiting for a bus.) | × I have been so upset over my physical gender that I cried. (No, but I'd like to spend a week as a man. Preferably a bisexual man. Heck, I'd like to DATE a bisexual man. Alas, I do not know any. Such is my life on earth. Gods, this emo survey is catching. Soon I'll join a band with three names in the title. *weeps* Then they'll be sorry. *angsts*) |
| × I once spent Christmas completely alone because there was a miscommunication on which parent was supposed to have me that night. (OH YOU EMO PEOPLE.) | × There have been times when I have wondered "Why was I born?" and may/may not have cried over it. (This is a very emo selection.) | × I like most animals better than most people. (My cat IS people!) |
| × I own a collection of retro games consoles. (No, but my kid does.) | × The thought of physical exercise makes me shiver. (Shiver? No. Wimp out? Yeah.) | × I have hit someone with a dead fish. (No, because I never assault people with dinner.) |

| × I have gone from wishing I was a girl to revelling in being a boy to feeling like a girl again in the span of five minutes, and not cared a whit for my actual sex. (I don't understand the question.) | × I am unashamedly bisexual, and have different motivations for my desires for different genders. (Two on Kinsey. That's my only label.

| × I find it impossible to get to sleep without some kind of music on. (I go through phases.) | × I dislike milk. (I only like skim milk.) | × I obsessively wash my hands. (No, but I obsessively have to eat two bites of everything (or multiples thereof). Can't eat one or three. Even numbers.) |
| ✓ I always carry something significant around with me. (Yes. My brain!) | × Sometimes I'd rather wear a wig in day-to-day life than use my own hair. (I like my hair. As long as it sits under all the colour and doesn't go all rooty on me.) | × I've pushed myself to become more self-aware and thereby more aware of others. (I've pushed myself to become more obtuse and thereby pretty much ignore others. Okay, just kidding, but this question sounds pretentious, like the woman who said she wasn't starting her baby on solids until twelve months. Pre-Ten-Tious.) |
| × Even though I live on my own I still cry sometimes because I miss my mother. (Dude. I'm FORTY -FOUR.) | × I hand wrote all the HTML tags in this document. (Like did I make this quiz? I don't think so.) | ✓ I've liked something which a majority of people claimed was either bad or weird. (Yeah. Guys in eyeliner. ;)) |
| × I have been clinically dead for a brief period of time. (Woah. I think I'd remember that. Or maybe not.) | × Instead of feeling sympathy/empathy with people and their problems, I simply become annoyed. (No, and I this question annoys me. I have no sympathy for it.) | × I participate/have participated in auto drag races and won. (NASCAR is the Antichrist.) |
| × I do not 'get' most comedy acts. (My favourite joke is from some random comedy act. The comedian said something like, "people in the 13th century didn't walk around aaying, "woah, this is a long time ago!") | ✓ I don't think strippers are money-greedy or slutty for dancing. (I know of one woman who put herself through nursing school by stripping. Why not? I really think sex workers are a legitimate profession. Much more fun than working at the DMV.) | × I don't like to chew gum. (Cinnamon gum, yummy.) |
| × I am obsessed with history/historical things and can't wait for someone to build a time machine so I can be the first to use it. (Not obsessed, but fascinated.) | × I can never remember for the life of me where I parked the car. (Sometimes.) | ✓ I had the TEEN ANGST thing going for at least 2-3 years. (Probably, anyway. I was a teen in the first Ice Age.) |
| ✓ I wish people would be more empathic and honest with each other. (Completely.) | × I play Dungeons and Dragons weekly. (No, but I'd LOVE to learn!) | ✓ I love to sing. (I do!) |
| × I want to live in my mother's basement when I grow up. (My mother has a cellar, dude. I have no desire to live in it with the washer and the boiler and the food for the feral cats.) | × I have a custom-built computer. (I did once.) | × I want to create a certain someone's babies, even though there's a 0% possiblity of ever achieving it. (I want to have anyone's babies! I just want one.) |
| × I would be in a relationship with one of my pets if they were human. (I love my cat, but not that much. Besides, even if he were human, he still would have no testicles.) | ✓ I've gone skinny-dipping. (Yes!) | ✓ I've performed in three plays. (A long, long time ago) |
| ✓ I enjoy burritos. (Sure.) | ✓ I'm Irish and loving it. (What's not to love?) | × I have a thing for redheads. (Well, hmm. I am one, but I like all kinds of colours.) |
| × I am a twin! (Wouldn't that be cool? Then I could speak twinspeak to it. Unless it died, like in Nell, and I turned into a wild girl living in the woods. But hey, then I'd get to hang out with Liam Neeson a lot.) | ✓ Most of the times, I'd rather do something intellectual instead of doing something generically 'fun'. (But really, why are these mutually exclusive? Can't you have fun taking a history class if you like history? I'd have more fun doing that than, oh, jogging or going to the mall. Or listening to Modern Country.) | × Once I set out to finish something, I always stay at it until it is completed before I move on to something else. (*sporfle* Not even close.) |
| ✓ I wish there were a way to erase past mistakes. (Absolutely. But then, some mistakes have Good Things that go with them. Like my marriage was a mistake, but my kids are so cool it's not even funny.) | × I sleep more than 12 hours a day. (I sleep more than 2 hours a day.) | × I wish I could be prouder of what I've accomplished, but it's never enough. (Sometimes I know that it's never enough; survival is fine but satisfaction is rough [/Melissa Etheridge]) |
| × I need more time to myself. (I should spend more time NOT with myself.) | ✓ I wish I was more open-minded. (I'm pretty open-minded. Except when I'm being hopelessly judgemental. So I thin k I'll check this one.) | × I hope that I go really prematurely grey. (I ALREADY AM) |
| ✓ I download songs from the internet. (AND I'M PROUD OF IT) | × I've just reenacted chapter 58 of Death Note with my best friend. (I don't even know what that is.) | ✓ I say random things to freak people out. (I don't really say them to freak people out, it's just my normal way of speaking.) |
| × I'm still a little mad about the ending of Death Note. (See previous Death Note wtf? Comment) | ✓ I love playing Truth or Dare. (I think I would, actually. I'd do dares alla time of course. Unless it involved eating something disgusting. Like cilantro or tripe.) | × I love listening to slow music, but I hate singing to it. (Listening, singing, I love it all!) |
| × Music helps me remember that I am not alone. (Music helps me remember that I love music. This is getting more emo all the time.) | × Playing my favorite sport makes me temporarily forget my problems. (I don't play sports. I watch baseball. Which causes completely intrinsic problems of its own. I am a FREAK about my boys at times.) | × I think this survey is particularly long. (Not really, but I do think it's particularly emo.) |
| × I prefer my LJ friends to my real-life ones. (I love all my friends!) | × I can only hate someone that I love. (I don't hate anyone. I did once, and it certainly wasn't someone that I love. Bleh. Was too much work, though.) | × I've ordered an extra two shots of espresso to an Americano at Starbucks. (I cannot tell you how very much I deplore Starbucks (I said I don't hate people. I reallyreally hate Starbucks. And Walmart, thanks for asking. Even though I had to buy a strapless bra there recently. It was a BRA EMERGENCY! So I'll donate eight bucks to moveon.org, okay?) |
