I&#8217;ll follow the leads of others and answer pre-established quesitons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Phone rings. Who are you hoping it is?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nobody. I detest telephones so I&#8217;d rather it not ring at all. Shoot me an instant message instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>When shopping at the grocery store do you return the cart?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nope. I don&#8217;t have a car so there&#8217;s no point in using a cart. I carry in the store what I can carry\u00a0during the walk and subway ride home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>In social settings are you more of a talker or a listerner?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>That depends on the social situation. If I know the people, I can be a talker. If I&#8217;m unfamiliar with a person (or people) I tend to clam up and just observe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>If abandoned alone in the wilderness, would you survive?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No &#8211; unless the wilderness now has air-conditioning and private toilets (preferably Japanese style with bidet functions and a heated seat).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Do you like to ride horses?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Horses? Where the hell would I put a horse? In my urban farm? I last rode a horse in the sixth grade (I enjoyed it at the time &#8211; but I think I used to enjoy picking my nose and eating the boogers at the time, too).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Did you ever go to camp as a kid?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yes, many times. Our 4th grade class did a sleep-over camp once. And I went to cub scout camp (Camp Greenough) a few times. The worst was the Mountainview Bible Camp. Yep &#8211; me at a Baptist camp in New Hampshire. Though, we lived in dormitories and went to church too much so it wasn&#8217;t really camping so much as, well, brainwashing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What was your favorite board game as a kid?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Well, it&#8217;s considered a board game since it came in a box, but it wasn&#8217;t an actual board. I love Connect Four.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>If a sexy person was pursuing you, but you knew he was taken what would you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fall into temptation. I blame the movies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Are you judgmental?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In odd ways, yes. I mean, I don&#8217;t judge people because of the clothes they wear or the car they own&#8230;but I will judge a person for owning a car in the first place (if they live in a city with subways). Meanwhile, I&#8217;m not even an environmentalist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Would you date a person with different religious beliefs?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yes. Though, I&#8217;d prefer he have NO religious beliefs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Are you continuing your education?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I have been&#8230;graduated from Harvard last year. But I&#8217;ve been slacking off this year (despite enrolling in a class).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Do you know how to shoot a gun?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Um &#8211; pull the trigger?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>If your house was on fire, what&#8217;s the first thing you&#8217;d grab?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Probably photo albums. Or, if winter, warm clothes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How often do you read books?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Not often enough. I go through phases&#8230;.currently my attention span only permits me to read magazines or blogs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Do you think more about the past, present, or future?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>HMMM &#8211; Probably the past and present equally. I tend to block out negative memories and thrive off the good ones I retain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What is your favorite children&#8217;s book?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Courduroy&#8230;.how can you not love a defective stuffed animal searching for his missing button?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How tall are you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>about 5&#8242;-11&#8243;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Where is your ideal house located?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>mmm -this is tough. Can I own more than one home? No matter where the house is, I&#8217;d prefer it to a) be a place with a view, b) be close to the action, c) be on the top floor, d) near water (river, ocean). As for specific locales; Ptown, Paris, Boston, NYC. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll find other ideal locations, too (such as warmer climates)&#8230;but the criteria for it would remain the same as the other locations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Last person you talked to?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A woman names Sarah who is applying for a job here (I just ended an interview with her).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>When was the last time you were at Olive Garden?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I&#8217;ve only been to Olive Garden once&#8230;in New Jersey. I guess it was 3 years ago?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What are your keys on your key chain for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Um, to open doors. Specifically, my office building, my office, my apartment building, my mailbox, my apartment, Randy&#8217;s house. And a pass to get on the subway (I guess that&#8217;s sort of a key because it let&#8217;s me in).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What did you do last night?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I went to the hospital to visit my sister-in-law and brother, brought my brother out to dinner, then went to Randy&#8217;s house to watch Ugly Betty, Srubs and My Name is Earl.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Where is your current pain at?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Whitehouse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Do you like mustard.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>yes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Do you like your mom or dad.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>yes, both. Actually, I love them both.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How long does it take you in the shower?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A long time. I love showers. I usually last until the hot water runs out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What movie do you want to see right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For Your Consideration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Do you put lotion on your dog or cats?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What the hell does that even mean? I have neither&#8230;but never put lotion on them when I did.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What did you do for New Year&#8217;s?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I got together with Randy, Peter, and Chris for dinner, games, wine and ball-dropping.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Do you think the Grudge was scary?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Never saw it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Do you own a camera phone?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yes &#8211; but don&#8217;t ask me to figure out how to use it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the last letter of your middle name?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Who did you vote for on American Idol.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I didn&#8217;t vote.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Friday, I&#8217;m lazy.
