Longest Post in Existence!

1. What is the last alcoholic beverage you drank? A grape jello shot...wait...is that a beverage? It is more a gel than a liquid.


2. Do you follow college football? Not particularly , no.


3. Who took this survey before you? My brother and my sister.


4. Who was the last person to send you a text message? Kirsten. We were coordinating meeting up to Race for the Cure, which is tough with 7,000 people around.


5. Last time you went swimming in a pool? Hmmm....I was in a pool on 6/2/07, but only up to my knees. But I did get fully wet at a roadside water-park in Delaware on 5/27/07.


6. Are you happy? I have much to be happy about, so yes. But I will be happier when school is out for the summer.


7. Where was the last place you went shopping? I guess online shopping doesn't really count, cause you don't go. So I guess outlet shopping in Delaware on Memorial Day weekend. Did you know they don't have sales tax there?


8. How do you feel about your hair? We have a live & let live relationship. Some days we get along, some days we don't. When we don't I fantasize about maiming it and getting really short hair.

9. Where do you live? Arlington, VA


10. Last thing you ate? Popcorn!


11. Do you wish you were some place else right now? Since I am at work, sure I do. Unfortunately I wish I were in the library or similarly occupied with schoolwork...which is sad.


12. Last time you kissed someone? Monday mornin'.


13. Do you have any expensive jewelry? Yeah, some pieces. Of course it depends on what you call expensive. Since they were gifts I don't know the actual cost.


14. AIM or MSN? AIM is generally on.


15. What classes are you taking now? Statistics, Cognition, & Learning Disability Assessment


16. How many hours on average do you work a week? I try to make 20 hours but it is slowly killing me. ;-) I shall quit before the fall.


17. What's your favorite TV show? Hmmm....I do love the Office. And Heroes. But all is over now for the summer.


18. How many kids do you want? I dunno...like four or something. I figure I'd grow a couple and adopt a couple.


19. Do you watch the Olympics? Not really. I appreciate that they exist and love that there are people who can achieve that level of athletics. But I prefer not to spend my time watching. Kinda like how I am with PBS.


20. Sing in the car? Of course. And since I am generally a passenger it can get awkward.


21. Who was the last person to call you? Matty called my cell phone to say pretty things.



22. What's your sign? Cancer...us moody crabs.


23. Do you have a favorite number? Not really no. I like to say "a baker's dozen" cause it makes no sense, but I prefer the phrase to the number it represents.


24. Last time you did volunteer work or made any donation? I have 10$ to the Fraternal Order of Police a couple months ago. But I quit donating stuff.


25. What do you spend the majority of your money on? Tuition. But that is loan money, so it isn't really mine as I did not earn it. My own meager monies are spent largely on rent and food.


26. Where does most of your family live? Some in Northern Virginia, a bunch in Michigan, one in San Francisco, and one in Pittsburgh.


28. Ever been called a hoe/slut? My sister does on a fairly regular basis...but my mom made her promise not to do it in front of our grandma.

35. Myspace or Facebook? Myspace. I've never been on Facebook.


36. Yahoo or Gmail? Despite my brother's scorn, I use Yahoo. I am just used to it and I have all my folders with emails to keep in Yahoo. I hear Gmail is nice though.


37. What was your favorite subject in school? I enjoyed my "Drugs of Abuse" class.


38. Do you sometimes wish you were someone else? Not particularly, no.


39. Fall for the bad guys or girls? As a teenager sure, but I lost that unhealthy habit with maturity.


40. Favorite movie? I agree with my brother and sister, who basically said this is a stupid question. People who have a "favorite movie", no qualifications necessary, are usually idiots.


41. Last time you saw your parents? I saw my Mumma last weekend because we cured cancer together and this past weekend cause she lent me a suitcase. I saw my Poppa...hmmm...longer ago than that. I guess it must have been just before Easter when he was in town for a meeting.


42. Do you have any talents? Rocking at Tetris may not be a real talent. But who am I to judge.


43. Ever been in a wedding? I officiated a wedding! I WAS the wedding. Beat that!


44. Do you have any children? Nope.


45. Last movie you watched? I actually went to the theater Sunday afternoon and saw Knocked Up. I laughed a lot, but thought that it was only okay.

47. Did you take a nap today? No time for napping! I don't nap, generally.


48. What kind of car do you drive? I don't! Not owning a car, the two I drive most are borrowed. Sometimes I get behind the wheel of Matt's Audi or Mumma's Acura.


49. Ever been on a cruise? Indeed, in the Virgin Islands. Twas fun and I would like to go again.


50. Favorite vacation spot? I enjoy the Caribbean of course, but not having been everywhere yet I don't think I can really name a favorite.


51. Favorite genre of music? I enjoy anything that rox. Yes, rox with an X.

52. Do you have any hot friends? Of course.

53. Ever met anyone famous before? Not that I am aware of. Of course, I coulda and I just didn't know.

54. Favorite actor? I don't know! There are so many quality folk out there. There seriously isn't any person that, when they are in a movie, I have to go see it.

55. Favorite Actress? See #54.

56. Are you multi-tasking right now? Watchin' a Tivo of Will & Grace, writin' this thing, and eatin' some popcorn.


57. Could you handle being in the military? Probably not. I like to ask a lot of questions and I am not good with just doing as I am told (just ask Capt. Matty who I am just ignore).


58. Are you hungry or thirsty? Thirsty.


59. Favorite fast food restaurant? I don't know that I have one. I used to imagine that I could make a SUPER fast food restaurant with McDonald's french fries, Wendy's frostys, Burger King chicken whoppers, Taco Bell bean burritos, and Arby's curly fries. I would call it Kate's Get-Fat-Atorium.


60. Favorite Nightclub? Do we call them nightclubs anymore? I like 18th Street Lounge and I like places that have good martinis.


61. What is your average cell phone bill? Like my brother's, mine is on auto-pay. But I think it is around 40$.


62. Do you own a camera phone? Nope. I have four crappy background options on my free-with-the-plan phone.


63. Ever had to take a sobriety test? Nope. I mean, sure I am drunk like 75% of my day, but I don't have a car so I sobriety tests don't factor in all that often.


64. Most expensive speeding ticket? I have never had a speeding ticket. So nay-nay-boo-boo.


65. Can you speak any other languages? Esperanto. No, just kidding. I speak an itty bit of Spanish. But otherwise, no.


66. Last time you went to the gym & worked out? Is it bad that I can remember? I quit my gym and I have missed it a bit. But it was an expense I couldn't afford and something I didn't have time enough for. I do remember last time I ran...outside...with the commoners.


67. How many pairs of shoes do you own? I can't believe that my brother said five. You can put a zero after that five and have a conservative estimate of what I own.


69. Last place you were at? I am not sure I understand the question. I am "at" the couch right now. Before that I was "at" school until 8pm for class. Before that I was "at" my therapists office (cause I am crazy!). Before that I was "at" school for more work. Boo.


70. Ever been to Las Vegas? Yup. I went with my Daddy! It maybe was not the most randy time ever, as I was with my Daddy. But was tres fun.


72. Ever been to Mexico for spring break? Nope. I have never been anywhere for spring break. I kept getting sued when I was in college so I kept having to go back to the jurisdiction in question.


73. Have you ever bought a hermit crab? :-( Oh god, why would you ask such a horribly mean question. I bought Fred & Ethel, the hermit crabs, at Bethany Beach. When we came home from the movies Matt's cat had upturned the terrarium and swatted the crabs around the house! Boo! Ethel died within twenty-four hours. Fred hung on for 3 more days, but alas, he too perished.


74. Ever deleted a question off of a quiz? Why would I? It is not like they are mandatory and you HAVE to answer everyone, or even answer them truthfully. Of course, whomever constructed this quiz either can't count or did delete some questions, as there are several missing.


75. What do you think is your best feature? I guess that depends on the situation. If there were a flood I think my killer ability to float would be my best feature. If there were a plague my stellar immune system would be my best feature. Way to think topically questionnaire maker!


76. Have you ever been gambling? Yup. But I am not good at it. I just tend to break even. Plus, I'd rather keep my money.


77. Last show you saw on/off Broadway? I say Carmen with my mumma. Was that the last show I saw? I think so. I like opera, but it is long. So now I know to bring twizzlers.


78. Ever been deep sea fishing? Nope, but it looks fun. Not that I would want a Marlin hanging on my wall.


79. Do you have your wisdom teeth? Yup. Of course, they are not in my mouth. I was all drugged up and asked the oral surgeon if I could keep them. He rinsed my bloody teeth with peroxide and wrapped them in gauze without even blinking. Then he suggested I soak them in peroxide overnight to get the pieces of bloody gum off. I keep them in a pretty wood box.

80. Favorite place to be? Europe.


81. Have you ever been to New York City? Woohoo. The big city! I went there once with an ex-boyfriend and I went there once with my mumma. The trip with mumma was righteous. I enjoyed it so very much.


82. Favorite sit down restaurant? I enjoy the place up the street, Harry's Taproom, quite a bit. I also enjoy the Blue Duck Tavern.


83. Ever been to Disney Land/World? I enjoy the happiest place on Earth so very much! I have gone several times, both as a child and as an adult. It never gets old. Never!!!


84. Do you have a favorite cartoon character? Hmmm. That is a tough one. Instead I will go with my top five in no particular order: Cosmo from Fairly Odd Parents, Bender from Futurama, Stewie from Family Guy, Bugs of course, and every gay person on the Simpsons.


85. Last thing you cooked? Popcorn. Really. I did not microwave it. I made it on the stove, in a pot.

86. How is the weather today? Hot. Humid. Gross.

87. Do you e-mail? This has got to be the stupidest question I have ever responded to. Yes.


88. Last letter/piece of mail you received besides junk or a bill? I got a lovely thank you card from Sam n' Mike n' their baby. I gave a gift.


89. Favorite store? I don't think I have one. I like Target. And Ikea.

90. What's your ideal car? A free one that always runs no matter what and never needs gas.

91. Last voicemail you received? Matty (boyfriend) instructing me how to reach him since he is travelling for work.

92. Do you drunk dial? Nope. I don't need to as I rarely drink alone. I mean, maybe once or twice in the past, but the question is posited in the present tense.


93. Stupidest thing you ever did with your cell phone? I threw it at my then boyfriend once cause he pissed me off. The screen got cracked. I am impulsive I guess.


95. Favorite band? I don't have a favorite. The last new music I listened to and really liked was Amy Winehouse, but she is one person not a band of folk.


96. Last time you were sick? I don't know. Oh wait, yeah. I had some sort of food poisoning back the week before St. Patrick's Day. Twas gee-rhoss and I did not eat solid food for days.


97. Do you dance? Yes.

98. Last concert you went to? I think that was O.A.R. with the boyfriend. Twas my Christmas present to him.

99. Ready for the weekend? It is only Monday. So yes. YES.

100. What did you do last night? I was at a BBQ until 8ish. Then I swung by my parents house to say hello and borrow a suitcase for this upcoming weekend's jaunt to the Motor City. And then home to watch the cartoons Matt n' I had Tivo'ed. They were reruns, but still.

I'm not a good blogger...

...But I can do other things! We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Here are some of mine!

I can cure cancer! I spent Saturday morning (we left the house at 7 a.m.) walking to cure cancer. I hadn't known that is all it takes and I got free yogurt & sunchips at the end. Yay!

I cannot pass up funnel cake. On Saturday, after a long nap, I went to the Herndon Carnival. Is anything better than a sunny day with carnies and funnel cake? I think not. If I ever get married there will be funnel cake instead of a traditional cake.

I can make my boyfriend throw up. If you make someone ride with you on multiple rickety carny rides after feeding them only funnel cake, they may throw up just a little bit.

I cannot tap a keg so that it appropriately vents the air. I felt bad when the first dozen round of beers were all head. I was at a graduation party for a gal my boyfriend knows. They assumed that my UofM background made me some sort of kegs-pert. Ah well.

I can push through my accelerated summer semester at school, or here's hoping I can. It lasts until the beginning of July and, so far, during the week I get about 4 - 5 hours of sleep each night.
