Can you tell a story without digressing? I can't.
What gets you self-righteous?
Do you breathe or chew with your mouth open? I hate that.
Do you ever read Group Hug and feel just a little better about anything? Or does it make you feel worse? (Thanks to Jason for tipping me off to this site.)
Assume you haven't got any change to spare. If someone on the street asks you for change, do you acknowledge them?
What do you make well?
What is the thing you laugh at that makes you feel like a bad person? For me it's that "nacho cheese" joke I can't tell properly, or that joke about the POW camp that evolved into a five-scene play.
Has it occurred to you that I haven't asked anything about sex yet?
Do you wish I would?
What question about sex would you like to answer?
Is there anything else you'd like me to ask you? Please specify.
Assume I asked that. Please answer.
Do you write in library books?
What do you do that you feel a little bad about, but can somehow justify? (A good example is graffiti. Technically it's wrong but artistically it's a good thing; cleaning it off keeps public workers employed and forces the art to evolve.)

Which would you rather lose: your hearing or your vision?
Is there anything you've ever lied about reading?
Alain de Botton said something to this effect: "A silence with a less attractive person implies that they are the boring one. A silence with a more attractive person implies that you are the boring one." How do you feel about that?
How do you feel about spiders? How do you tell people you feel about spiders?

I hate these things, but I am also a masochist, so I guess I'm going to fill this out.
Upon what or whom have you modeled yourself? Is it the same person or thing after which you modeled yourself when you were young?When I was young I wanted to be like John Britton, the Kiwi who designed and built a motorbike in his garage that won at Daytona. I guess I still want to be like him, but unlike him, I'd like not to die whilst in my prime.
Do you adjust the volume on your headphones when you go somewhere where others would hear (and possibly be annoyed by)that the tinny extra music (i.e. a bus, a library, or a place of worship)?No. I like to broadcast my excellent taste in music - or at least my rebellious individualism.
What have you got going on when you aren't at work?Um, a marriage, university, hair cuts. The important stuff.
Do you consider yourself an active anything?Nnoooo... well, no. Not really. Maybe web related stuff, but that doesn't involve a lot of action.
The last argument you had with another person--was it worth it?Probably. I try not get into arguements of no consequence. Or ones I can't win.
Are you on the outside or the inside of the spoon? If you're not into spooning, what other kitchen utensil do you think symbolizes human contact?Outside. Spooning is all good. Tonging too.
What musical instrument do you wish you could play?I wished I could play the trumpet, so I learned, then I decided Guitar was better, so I did that. Now, I wish I could play the Burmese Mandolin I almost bought in Thailand.
Can you tell a story without digressing? I can't.Mostly
What gets you self-righteous?Stupidity and stupid people. Stupid people in positions of authority.
Do you breathe or chew with your mouth open? I hate that.Breathe? Umm, if I have too.
Do you ever read Group Hug and feel just a little better about anything? Or does it make you feel worse? (Thanks to Jason for tipping me off to this site.)Couldn't be bothered reading, so can't say. I'm not the most emotional people (on par with, say, a rock) so I'm guessing that not much would happen.
Assume you haven't got any change to spare. If someone on the street asks you for change, do you acknowledge them?Yes, and I feel bad too.
What do you make well?Websites and computer graphics, pizza.
What is the thing you laugh at that makes you feel like a bad person? For me it's that "nacho cheese" joke I can't tell properly, or that joke about the POW camp that evolved into a five-scene play.Southpark.
Has it occurred to you that I haven't asked anything about sex yet?No. I read this whole survey earlier. HA HA!
Do you wish I would?Not really. It's been done once or twice before.
What question about sex would you like to answer?'Describe the mating habits of the african mountain swallow'
Is there anything else you'd like me to ask you? Please specify.'What do you think of these online survey thingies?'
Assume I asked that. Please answer.Well, I'm glad you asked. Normally, if someone emails one of these to me, I email them back 70 or 80 times with the same email, then I signup to numerous free bestiality websites using their email address, thereby inundating their inbox with spam. This survey is different; it is original, well written, and it wasn't emailed to me. That counts for a lot.
Do you write in library books?Like in the margin? No. Though I've got over my fear of dog-earing them.
What do you do that you feel a little bad about, but can somehow justify? (A good example is graffiti. Technically it's wrong but artistically it's a good thing; cleaning it off keeps public workers employed and forces the art to evolve.)Too many things to list. I'm good at rationalising.
What is your favourite meal of the day?Dinner.
What is your morning routine?Normal stuff: shower, shave, coffee, leave.
Did you know that when women brush their hair at night it makes travel difficult for men at sea?No. But now I do.
Which would you rather lose: your hearing or your vision?Oh come on. Hearing of course. 90% of the population is going to say hearing. The rest are just messing with the statistics.
Is there anything you've ever lied about reading?Not that I can think of.
Alain de Botton said something to this effect: "A silence with a less attractive person implies that they are the boring one. A silence with a more attractive person implies that you are the boring one." How do you feel about that?Rubbish. It's about self-confidence, not looks; I guess this means it is an internal thing, rather than something you could judge objectively.
How do you feel about spiders? How do you tell people you feel about spiders?I'm indifferent on both counts.
Is there anything you wished you'd learned in school? There's still time to learn, but in school do you wish you had taken something you didn't?More about girls would have been useful.
Do you take your off your boxing gloves before you go to bed? How do you type with boxing gloves on your hands?DELETED!
Be honest. What do you miss about high school?Lack of responsibility and the illusion that what you did then would actually effect your career and/or life.
If I ask you very nicely, will you answer this survey? You can email me or call me or put it in comments..
What do you think is a good bribe? Have you ever given a bribe? I sometimes like to write "Bribe" in the Memo line of my cheques.No, havn't brided before. The 'get-connected' Christian group on campus gives chances to win cell phones and palm pilots if you join up. That seems pretty effective, even if it seems so wrong.
How do you act when you see someone you know on the subway or in public somewhere? I pretend I'm asleep. But then, everyone knows I don't say hi when I see people I know.Say hi. I'm honest to people if I can't remember their names too.
I'm gonna go now. What's the least graceful exit you've ever had?From my second highschool - one day I was there, the next, I was in Germany.
-H
You and I are kindred spirits, very much. I like the way some people say "rubbish." I can't pull it off.
