Long Meme

OK I saw so many of the cool people fill this one out I thought I would give it a try. I finally stole it from SignGurl.

1.The phone rings. Who do you want it to be?
It is not going to be another political phone call, that is for sure. I have a couple of friends I have not heard from in ages. That would be nice to hear from them.

2. When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart?
Most of the time.

3. In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener?
A little of both but mostly a listener.

4. Do you take compliments well?
I do not take compliments well. I usually deflect it by downplaying things or cutting myself down.

5. Are you an active person?
I need to be but sadly, no.

6. If abandoned alone in the wilderness, do you survive?
I would make a good go if it. I'm a survivor, I'm not gonna give up.

7. Do you like to ride horses?
I have only rode horses less than a dozen times but I did enjoy it. It was fun.

8. Did you ever go to camp as a kid?
Band camp for 4 years. It was the best.

9. What was your favorite game as a kid?
Kick the can at night with the neighborhood gang was pretty fun.

10. If a sexy person was pursuing you, but you knew he/she was married would you?
Sorry but no. Even just being in a relationship makes them off limits to me.

11. Are you judgmental?
I try not to be but I am afraid sometimes it just happens.

12. Could you date someone with different religious beliefs than you?
Yep.

13. Do you like to pursue or be pursued?
A little of both.

14. Use three words to describe yourself:
Fat, Funny, Dull.

15. If you had to choose, would you rather be deaf or blind?
If seems like deaf would be easier to live with. I mean my friend has done well being blind but you would miss out on so much.

16. Are you continuing your education?
Traditional 2/4 year degree or masters and doctorate, no. But I self teach myself things all the time for work and have taken may focused classes over the years.

17. Do you know how to shoot a gun?
I own a gun however it is at my parents house. I used to go deer hunting while I was growing up. Do I know how to shoot a gun? That is a good question. One time I had a deer probably no more than 25 feet away and ... I missed him. So no, I do not think I know how to shoot one, at least not effectively.

18. If your house was on fire, what would be the first thing you tried to save?
If I could I would go for my pants. They usually have my keys in them and would allow me to seek shelter in my car. It also has my cell phone. One of my coworkers had his house burn down in the last year. What did he go for? Well there was a case of beer right by the door...

19. How often do you read books?
It comes and goes. Probably only 5 or 6 a year other than work related.

20. Do you think more about the past, present or future?
I tend to think of the past a lot. I also try to think to the future. The present seems to get lost.

21. What is your favorite children's book?
"The Little Engine that Could" or "Green Eggs and Ham" possibly. Truthfully I think my favorite was the World Book Encyclopedia. I think we may have bought it from my Grandma or she was involved in it somehow. I loved those books. Three of the first things I bought when I first was on my own... A couch with a Love Seat. A Kitchen Table and a set of World Book Encyclopedias. I still have them but now I never open them since I search for things on the Internet.

22. Have you kissed any of your MySpace friends?
I have an MySpace account but never use it. MySpace, deserve the rap or not, is bad.

23. How tall are you?
6'1"

24. Where is your ideal house located?
Up in Northern Michigan at least other than winter. I might need to reconsider for the winter.

Briefs.

A telemarketer for like 3 seconds. Grrrr....

Long time ago. I think I still have a strip somewhere where I had my cast from back in High School.

28. When was the last time you were at Olive Garden?
I would guess 3 to 5 years ago. I so want to take my parents there for lunch. They never go but they like it there.

29. What are your keys on your key chain for?
My house, parents house, sisters house, old van, three office keys, a bicycle lock key, some weird key that looks like a diary key that I have no idea what it is for. It has come in handy for other things.

Why does that remind me of the one vaudeville routine I saw on TV. They were suppose to be a bunch of kids in a spelling bee. The teacher asked them to spell "Peter." One kid tries "P ... P ... That is to hard for me." The first one said "PE ... PE ... that is to long for me." Then one girl stands up and says

"Peter, P E T E R, Peter. They don't come to long or to hard for me." I know I am weird.
