"Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature." Tom Robbins

NUMBER OF...
:x: piercings = including those I've taken out? Seven.
:x: tattoos = One. It's a huge red car that's on fire and a taco eating ice cream is at the wheel.
:x: height = 5'7 or 5'8. Something like that.
:x: shoe size = 9
:x: hair color = Boring old brown. But there's some gold and red in it under the sun.
:x: siblings = A sister and a brother. They both rule.

LAST...
:x: movie you rented = Anchorman. And I'm not sorry.
:x: movie you bought = Royal Tenenbaums. But that was a year ago. I don't find movies I like enough to own very often.
:x: song you listened to = "The Electric Version" by The New Pornographers.
:x: song that was stuck in your head = "Motion Picture Soundtrack" by Radiohead.
:x: cd you bought = Pop! Montreal.
:x: person you were thinking of = My brother.
:x: friend you made = Judith at work.

DO...
:x: you have a crush on someone = Picture this: you're in an airport. The lineup is miles long. Your flight takes off in half an hour and your gate is at the other end of the airport. Now at the front of the line is a German man who looks rather dashing except for one or two things (he's got rainbow sunglasses or one of those lanyards so he can hang them around his neck; or he's wearing stupid sandals), and to the person at the desk he's saying, with an extremely thick accent, "all I have is Eurail pass!" It's annoying and frustrating to be behind this guy but there's something so hilarious about this moment. That's me when I have a crush. And I have about as much subtlety and grace as that German man.
:x: you wish you could live somewhere else = Toronto is where I will stay for the foreseeable future. Italy wouldn't be so bad either. South of Italy though. I'd wear some really sexy dresses that looked casual and I'd go into the markets with a nice basket to buy all my produce. I'm talking about real nice produce.
:x: you think about suicide = Once in a while. Not seriously.
:x: you believe in online dating = I still haven't decided if it's normal.
:x: others find you attractive = On a good day, sure.
:x: you want more piercings = I think about it sometimes An Orbital or an Industrial would be cool.
:x: you drink = I have a very healthy relationship with alcohol.
:x: you do drugs = I don't really count pot as a drug, so no.
:x: you smoke = I quit. Stop asking me.
:x: you like cleaning = I hate dirty kitchens. Messy bedrooms are the best though.
:x: you like roller coasters = Hell yes.
:x: you write in cursive or print = I print but all the letters run together.

FOR OR AGAINST...
:x: long distance relationships = Against.
:x: using someone = Of course I'm against. I once cancelled a date with someone because I though it would be wrong to go just for the food.
:x: suicide = Hard to say. There's a grey area the size of a cruise ship.
:x: killing people = Wouldn't it be crazy if all the Stumblers who come to my blog found out I was a murderer the whole time and I was blogging from a prison where they happen to have internet access and I've been on good behaviour so I get to post?
:x: doing drugs = Everyone should do something.
:x: driving drunk = "Against. Driving drunk is arguably the most selfish thing a driver can do." - Krista Varsakis, 2005.
:x: gay/lesbian relationships = Why the fuck not?
:x: soap operas = I can be against but they'll keep coming back.

FAVOURITE...
:x: song = This very minute it's "The Truth" by Handsome Boy modeling School.
:x: thing to do = Bake, or go to the Island, or sleep.
:x: thing to talk about = Food, usually.
:x: sports = Swimming, and other non-social exercises.
:x: drinks = Vodka straight, my homemade Schnapps, Sabra, milkshakes, and ginger ale. Oh! And Vanilla Coke.
:x: clothes = Hoodies. And cool underwear. And pyjamas. And sexy things. I have a lot of clothes I think.
:x: movies = A rotating top 5 including Delicatessen, Royal Tenenbaums, The Saddest Music in the World, Human Traffic, and one or two others that come and go without incident.
:x: singer = The voice on the fella from Cuff the Duke blew me away.
:x: holiday = Halloween.

HAVE YOU...
:x: ever cried over a girl = Yes.
:x: ever cried over a boy = Yes.
:x: ever lied to someone = Yes. And whenever I lie it turns into a web of lies. So I stopped.
:x: ever been in a fist fight = I punched, but I wouldn't call it a fight.
:x: ever been arrested = No.

WHAT...
:x: shampoo do you use = Whatever I reach for first.
:x: shoes do you wear = All kinds.
:x: are you scared of = Torture. And revolving doors.

NUMBER...
:x: of times I have been in love = Two.
:x: of times I have had my heart broken = It only takes one time.
:x: of hearts I have broken = One.
:x: of girls I have kissed = Five I think.
:x: of boys I have kissed = Plenty.
:x: of drugs taken illegally = My fair share.
:x: of people I would classify as true friends = A handful.
:x: of people I consider my enemies = 'Enemy' is such a harsh word. I've chosen none.
:x: of times my name has appeared in the newspaper = Hopefully never. Once when I was born, if that counts.
:x: of scars on my body = Countless.
:x: of things in my past that I regret = It's so unfashionable to have regrets. But I can think of five things I wish I never did.

FAVORITE...
:x: disney movie = Aladdin, or maybe Beauty and the Beast. It's a tie.
:x: word = Today? Boxcutter. I also like veridical and entelechy.
:x: nickname = Tron.
:x: eye color = Yellow. Like the bad kid in A Christmas Story. Green is nice. But brown is best.
:x: flower = Yellow ones. Big sunflowers. Daffodils. Violets too!
:x: piercing = It grew out. It was beautiful.
:x: actor = I will always have a soft spot for the Wilson Bros.
:x: actress = Haven't really chosen one.

Great survey. It's both funny and true!

I actually had to make a mental list of the things I had to respond/comment to.
1) Crap. I forgot.
2) Cool underwear. I love H&M, their boy shorts are the best.
3)Oh yeah, the serial killer blogger in jail. Okay, in this online gossip site I go to, there was a post on how this girl had this online journal (livejournal?) where she kept complaining about her life and her mom. Apparently she is currently being investigated for the murder of her mother. Creepy.
4) There was another comment I had prepared for a response you typed near the end of the survey.

4b) I am deathly afraid of giant sunflowers! It's just UN-NATURAL (too many 'n's) for flowers to be taller than humans!!!
