* * * * *
| ✓ I miss somebody right now. (Several, actually. I still talk with the majority of my friends on a semi-daily basis, but that's really not the same as being able to walk down the hall, bang on their door, and seeing what they're up to.) | × I don't watch much TV these days. (I'm on the fence about this one - I don't watch much live or network TV, but I do have a few shows we TiVo that I watch regularly, and I've watched a fair bit of the World Cup.) | ✓ I own lots of books. (Not quite at the insane levels of earlier, but still...) |
| × I wear glasses or contact lenses. | ✓ I love to play video games. (Though Tron 2.0: Killer App is currently pissing me off - I may hunt down the PC version simply because I think the controls/content are a little too fiddly for the Xbox controller...a ton of it seems geared towards a mouse and keyboard.) | × I've tried marijuana. (Though turning it down several times has gotten me some amusing stories, at least.) |
| ✓ I've watched porn movies. (Though none quite so uncomfortable as "Hey, what's on this tape?" "...Oh. Urutsukodoji.") | ✓ I have been the psycho-ex in a past relationship. (Much as it was hard for me to figure that out, yes, though I did recieve a fair dose of it in turn from the same person....if you're both being psycho exes to each other at the same time, does it mean you're still dating, just on a whole new level of dysfunction?) | ✓ I believe honesty is usually the best policy. |
| ✓ I curse sometimes. (Yeah, afraid so.) | × I have changed a lot mentally over the last year. (...not so much, actually. Not compared to, say, 3 or 4 years ago.) | ✓ I carry my knife/razor everywhere with me. (During the week, anyhow. I have a box knife for opening the various vendor shipments I have to keep herd on.) |
| ✓ I have broken someone's bones. (Noses are technically all cartilege, but I think that's in the spirit of what this is getting at.) | × I have a secret that I am ashamed to reveal. (I'd usually say that my non-Christian status would go towards this, since I really want to avoid the various family discomforts if it came up, but I think they've actually figured out that I'm really not an Episcopaelian or even entirely a Christian anymore, and it seems to be going well enough.) | × I hate the rain. (Another thunderstorm in the next few days would be good for the humidity.) |
| ✓ I'm paranoid at times. (Heck, I get paid to be paranoid when I'm doing security tweaks on email and the BES.) | ✓ I would get plastic surgery if it were 100% safe, free of cost, and scar-free. (Just because I'm comfortable in my body doesn't mean I might not change things if I somehow could magically do it tomorrow.) | ✓ I need/want money right now. (Not desperately, but I'd like my financial situation to be more comfortable overall.) |
| ✓ I love sushi. (I'm still disapointed that when we ordered the O-Toro tuna at Sushiko, they had run out earlier in the evening. I've never gotten a chance to try it, and I'd really like to.) | ✓ I talk really, really fast. (Most of my working day, I have to try to keep to a good clip so I can get things resolved in a timely manner, and it tends to spill over.) | ✓ I have fresh breath in the morning. (I've yet to hear complaints.) |
| × I have long hair. (Not anymore...) | × I have lost money in Las Vegas. (Though I probably will some day, if Steve's serious about going out there someday in the near future.) | ✓ I have at least one sibling. (Who has me worried about her health yet again, but that's a side issue.) |
| ✓ I was born in a country outside of the U.S. (Norway. Fjord away from home.) | ✓ I have worn fake hair/fingernails/eyelashes in the past. (Theatre will do that to you.) | ✓ I couldn't survive without Caller I.D. (Nuff said.) |
| ✓ I like the way that I look. (I'm happy enough about it, anyhow. I've lost a bit of weight, working on losing some more over time, and I'm comfortable, anyhow.) | × I have lied to a good friend in the last 6 months. | × I am usually pessimistic. |
| ✓ I have a lot of mood swings. (Not like I used to, but I can still be mercurial at times, especially if I'm on low sleep.) | ✓ I think prostitution should be legalized. (Plenty of countries treat it as a buisness and a lot less people get hurt in the deal.) | × I slept with a roommate. |
| × I have a hidden talent. (...I don't think most of my talents are deliberately hidden.) | × I'm always hyper no matter how much sugar I have. | ✓ I have a lot of friends. (And I'm lucky to have each and every one of them.) |
| ✓ I have pecked someone of the same sex. (Yay, Theatre.) | ✓ I enjoy talking on the phone. (In person's better, but sometimes you need the ability to give inflection that text simply cannot provide.) | × I practically live in sweatpants or PJ pants. (Ha...Ha....No.) |
| × I love to shop and/or window shop. (Only if I'm already thinking towards getting something.) | × I'm obsessed with my Xanga or Livejournal. (I think I'd have to post and/or modify it more frequently to be obsessed.) | × I'm completely embarrassed to be seen with my mother. (I'm far more comfortable dealing with my Mom in public or in private than my Dad.) |
| ✓ I have a mobile phone. (2, actually. One I actually use, and one for work that's only used for work-related calls.) | × I have passed out drunk in the past 6 months. | ✓ I've rejected someone before. |
| ✓ I currently like/love someone. (Went on a 200 mile round trip for her birthday dinner today.) | ✓ I have no idea what I want to do for the rest of my life. (I'm skilled at what I'm doing, and on about half the days I do enjoy it, but I really don't know what my long-term is. Do I get into the management chain and work my way up? Do I go into the sysadmin cave and never emerge? Or do I work until I can't take it anymore, go get my masters, and go into teaching? Not really sure.) | × I want to have children in the future. (I really doubt my ability to raise a child safely or effectively.) |
| ✓ I have changed a diaper before. (Mom running a babysitting service out of the house was so fun...) | × I've called the cops on a friend before. | × I'm not allergic to anything. (Hah.) |
| ✓ I have a lot to learn. | × I am shy around the opposite sex. (Not for the past few years, really.) | × I'm online 24/7, even as an away message. (Not unless my work phone counts, since it's usually pulling down my email for me.) |
| ✓ I have at least 5 away messages saved. (Guilty.) | ✓ I have tried alcohol or drugs before. (Given my occasional love of the bottle, I think it's safe to say I've tried quite a variety of alcohol.) | × I have made a move on a friend's significant other or crush in the past. |
| ✓ I own the "South Park" movie. (Or did, anyhow. I think I might have to buy a new copy. Mine may have gotten lost.) | × I have avoided assignments at work/school to be on Xanga or Livejournal. (Now, if they said, have you had 1 window on the work and 1 window on your friends list...) | × I enjoy some country music. |
| ✓ I would die for my best friends. (Though I'd far prefer to make the other bastard die for his.) | ✓ I'm obsessive, and often a perfectionist. | × I have used my sexuality to advance my career. |
| ✓ I think Halloween is awesome because you get free candy. (AND you get to dress up.) | × I have dated a close friend's ex. | ✓ I am happy at this moment. |
| × I'm obsessed with guys. | ✓ Democrat. (Socially.) | ✓ Republican. (Fiscally. (Well, the way they used to be, anyhow. Calling the GOP's fiscal policy since about 1980 "Republican" or even "Conservative" is a farce.)) |
| × I don't even know what I am. (I AM NOT A NUMBER! I AM A FREE MAN!) | ✓ I am punk rockish. (Ish.) | ✓ I go for older guys/girls, not younger. |
| ✓ I study for tests most of the time. | × I tie my shoelaces differently from anyone I've ever met. (...how would this even work? Are you doing sheet bends in the laces, or something?) | ✓ I can work on a car. (Simple stuff, anyhow.) |
| × I love my job(s). (Though it has been improving, so we'll see.) | ✓ I am comfortable with who I am right now. | × I have more than just my ears pierced. |
| ✓ I walk barefoot wherever I can. | ✓ I have jumped off a bridge. (Well, to be fair, it was a wood bridge over a creek that we had to fix up for a Scouting project.) | × I love sea turtles. (I really have no strong feelings either way. Sorry, turtles.) |
| × I spend ridiculous amounts of money on makeup. | ✓ I plan on achieving a major goal/dream. (I actually just did this, but I have a few more in mind.) | ✓ I am proficient on a musical instrument. (3, actually.) |
| × I hate office jobs. | × I went to college out of state. | × I am adopted. |
| × I am a pyro. | ✓ I have thrown up from crying too much. | ✓ I have been intentionally hurt by people that I loved. |
| ✓ I fall for the worst people. (Even if I have gotten better at it, it's still true. :D) | × I adore bright colours. | ✓ I usually like covers better than originals. (I can think of several.) |
| × I hate chain theme restaurants like Applebees and TGIFridays. | ✓ I can pick up things with my toes. | × I can't whistle. |
| × I have ridden/owned a horse. | × I still have every journal I've ever written in. | × I talk in my sleep. |
| ✓ I've often thought that I was born in the wrong century. | ✓ I try to forget things by drowning them out with loads of distractions. | × I wear a toe ring. |
| × I have a tattoo. | ✓ I can't stand at LEAST one person that I work with. (In his current role, anyhow.) | × I am a caffeine junkie. |
| × I am completely tree-huggy spiritual, and I'm not ashamed at all. | × If I knew I would get away with it, I would commit at least one murder. (As much as I sometimes joke or insinuate, that's a line I seriously doubt I could cross.) | × I will collect anything, and the more nonsensical, the better. |
| × I enjoy a nice glass of wine with dinner. | ✓ I'm an artist. | ✓ I am ambidextrous. |
| × I sleep with so many stuffed animals, I can hardly fit on my bed. | × If it weren't for having to see other people naked, I'd live in a nudist colony. | × I have terrible teeth. |
| × I hate my toes. (What did they ever do to you, then?) | ✓ I did this meme even though I wasn't tagged by the person who took it before me. (Baaa.) | × I have more friends on the internet than in real life. (A large asston of my "internet friends" are people I know quite well in real life as well.) |
| × I have lived in either three different states or countries. (Not for long enough durations for me to really consider it having lived there.) | × I am extremely flexible. | × I love hugs more than kisses. |
| × I want to own my own business. (I have thought about this one, occasionally. Unfortunately, the things I'd like to do are almost all unprofitable right now.) | × I smoke. | ✓ I spend way too much time on the computer than on anything else. (Probably true.) |
| ✓ Nobody has ever said I'm normal. | ✓ Sad movies, games, and the like can cause a trickle of tears every now and then. | ✓ I am proficient in the use of many types of firearms and combat weapons. |
| ✓ I like the way women look in stylized men's suits. | ✓ I don't like it when people are unpleased or seem unpleased with me. | × I have been described as a dreamer or likely to have my head up in the clouds. |
| × I have played strip poker with someone else before. | ✓ I have had emotional problems for which I have sought professional help. | ✓ I believe in ghosts and the paranormal. |
| × I can't stand being alone. | ✓ I have at least one obsession at any given time. | × I weigh myself, pee/poo, and then weigh myself again. (Ew.) |
| × I consistently spend way too much money on obsessions-of-the-moment. (Actually, curbing that impulse is why I've got about 8 different things on my "Neat shit to do" list I still haven't gotten to, including buying about 8 nerf guns to cut up and learn how to effectively customize and repaint them.) | × I'm a judgmental asshole. | × I'm a HUGE drama-queen. |
| ✓ I have travelled on more than one continent. | ✓ I sometimes wish my father would just disappear. | × I need people to tell me I'm good at something in order to feel that I am. |
| × I am a Libertarian. (Some interesting ideas, but...) | ✓ I can speak more than one language. | × I can fall asleep even if the whole room is as noisy as it can be. |
| ✓ I would rather read than watch TV. | × I like reading fact more than fiction. | × I have pulled an all-nighter on an assignment I was given a month to do. |
| ✓ I have no piercings. | ✓ I have spent the night in a train station or other public place. | × I have been so upset over my physical gender that I cried. |
| × I once spent Christmas completely alone because there was a miscommunication on which parent was supposed to have me that night. | ✓ There have been times when I have wondered "Why was I born?" and may/may not have cried over it. (In the past, yes. See earlier note on emotional issues.) | × I like most animals better than most people. |
| × I own a collection of retro games consoles. | × The thought of physical exercise makes me shiver. | × I have hit someone with a dead fish. (Man, I wish I could answer yes to that, just for the story.) |
| × I am compulsively honest. | × I was born with a congenital birth defect that has never been repaired. | × I have danced topless in front of dozens of complete strangers. |
| × I have gone from wishing I was a girl to revelling in being a boy to feeling like a girl again in the span of five minutes, and not cared a whit for my actual sex. | × I am unashamedly bisexual, and have different motivations for my desires for different genders. | ✓ I sometimes won't sleep a whole night or eat a whole day because I forget to. (It's happened.) |
| × I find it impossible to get to sleep without some kind of music on. | × I dislike milk. | × I obsessively wash my hands. |

(I feel very odd without the necklace Lisa gave me, back when we started dating.) | × Sometimes I'd rather wear a wig in day-to-day life than use my own hair. | ✓ I've pushed myself to become more self-aware and thereby more aware of others. |
| × Even though I live on my own I still cry sometimes because I miss my mother. | × I hand wrote all the HTML tags in this document. (Given that by the fact you're using the meme and copy-pasting the results, isn't this question broken by default...?) | ✓ I've liked something which a majority of people claimed was either bad or weird. (And I STILL like the wasabi ice cream. Bite me, haters.) |
| × I have been clinically dead for a brief period of time. | × Instead of feeling sympathy/empathy with people and their problems, I simply become annoyed. | × I participate/have participated in auto drag races and won. |
| × I do not 'get' most comedy acts. | ✓ I don't think strippers are money-greedy or slutty for dancing. (I know several women who have stripped before who simply enjoyed what they were doing.) | ✓ I don't like to chew gum. (Gum just doesn't work for me.) |
| ✓ I am obsessed with history/historical things and can't wait for someone to build a time machine so I can be the first to use it. (And then I'm going to go find Skaro.) | ✓ I can never remember for the life of me where I parked the car. (Even on a day where I worked in the office all day, someone brought lunch in, and I didn't move it halfway through the day, I still came out of the building and walked to the wrong side of the parking lot before turning around and finding it.) | × I had the TEEN ANGST thing going for at least 2-3 years. |
| × I wish people would be more empathic and honest with each other. | × I play Dungeons and Dragons weekly. (Well, I used to, but we're not there at the moment.) | × I love to sing. (Not any longer.) |
| × I want to live in my mother's basement when I grow up. (...is your name Norman, by any chance?) | × I have a custom-built computer. (Not at the moment, but I've been thinking on and off. I think if I buy another computer in the next 3 or 4 years, though,it'd probably be a MacBook of some sort.) | ✓ I want to create a certain someone's babies, even though there's a 0% possiblity of ever achieving it. (Ms. Jolie (Mrs, now, I suppose?), or Ms. Mansfield, you know where to find me if you change your mind.) |
| × I would be in a relationship with one of my pets if they were human. | ✓ I've gone skinny-dipping. | ✓ I've performed in three plays. |
| ✓ I enjoy burritos. | × I'm Irish and loving it. | ✓ I have a thing for redheads. |
| × I am a twin! | × Most of the times, I'd rather do something intellectual instead of doing something generically 'fun'. | × Once I set out to finish something, I always stay at it until it is completed before I move on to something else. (I tend to have several things going on at once.) |
| × I wish there were a way to erase past mistakes. (I've learned from pretty much all of them. I'd rather keep what I got out of it.) | × I sleep more than 12 hours a day. | × I wish I could be prouder of what I've accomplished, but it's never enough. |
| × I need more time to myself. | × I wish I was more open-minded. | × I hope that I go really prematurely grey. (I'll settle for not going bald. I don't really care about the colour.) |
| ✓ I download songs from the internet. | × I've just reenacted chapter 58 of Death Note with my best friend. (...wha? That's like asking if you've ever thought about being one of the old Latin speaking men from Gravity's Rainbow and expecting everyone to get it.) | ✓ I say random things to freak people out. |
| × I'm still a little mad about the ending of Death Note. | × I love playing Truth or Dare. | ✓ I love listening to slow music, but I hate singing to it. |
| ✓ Music helps me remember that I am not alone. | ✓ Playing my favorite sport makes me temporarily forget my problems. | ✓ I think this survey is particularly long. |
| × I prefer my LJ friends to my real-life ones. (It's so intermixed that I find this a bit of a silly question.) | × I can only hate someone that I love. | × I've ordered an extra two shots of espresso to an Americano at Starbucks. (I don't think I've ever actually purchased coffee at Starbucks. Mostly tea or hot cider.) |
