15. in Survey Says

1. Will you agree to let a lover use your toothbrush? Wow I have literally never thought about this. I don’t see why not… it’s not as if his tongue has never been in my mouth already. Why does that sound gross? We’re all aware of the tongue thing, but it still sounds damn gross.

2. In your bad dreams do you ever throw the slow motion punch? I actually don’t have ‘bad’ dreams very often, and when I do… I don’t think I am punching much.

3. Do you eat or give away pickles? Dude… eat them. Pickles man… fricken pickles.

4. Do you match and ball socks or just dump them, en masse, into the drawer? I… match them, and fold them, but I do not roll them. And then I put all the misfit socks on the top of my dresser so I can try and find their mates.

5. Do you bisect your sevens with one of those squiggly hyphens? When writing the number 2 do you loop the bottom? I totally read that as “disect” and was monumentally confused. So no on the 7, but yes on the 2. And if you’re further curious, I write my four with an open top, not this → 4

6. When eating out, do you set your knife atop your plate and change hands? No I keep my hands.

7. Do you tear into wrapped presents or open them neatly with the spoken intent to save the paper? I’m a hybrid. I tear it neatly!

8. Would you rather drive or be driven? I’ll drive thanks, I’m tired of being driven crazy.

9. Do you engage strangers in conversations on airplanes? If no, it’s odd,
isn’t it, when the time comes to accept peanut packets or order sodas
and you hear their voices? I don’t ever have the intention of sparking up random conversations, but if one happens I’m more than happy to talk to someone interesting.

10. Do you own a bathrobe? Yeppers. Not only that, I totally use it too!

11. Are they still there, those ascending horizontal lines that marked your growth as a child up a wall or a door? That would be pretty damn creepy considering I do not live in the house I grew up in.

12. Can you write at all with your opposite hand? Not only that, but people can read what I write too!

13. Do audiences affect your attempts to urinate or parallel park? I like how in this question both pee and park are considered the same thing. I can’t say I frequenly have an audience when I pee, but if ya gotta go man, ya gotta go.

14. Do you bookmark or dog-ear your books? Bookmark. I am anal retentive when it comes to the condition of the books I own. I don’t even crease the spines. Seriously… Eoin doesn’t even want to read ‘my’ books because he doesn’t want me to be upset.

15. Do you mind fighting losing battles? If it’s a physical fight I probably knew going in that I would lose… but really I pick my battles, and only engage in ones that I feel strongly about.

16. Do you check the dates on coins? Not frequently, but yes once in a while I inspect change.

17. Do you like to be the one who holds the tickets (for airplanes, movies, etc.)? I don’t actually care as long as they don’t go missing.

18. Can you sleep with socks on? I can. I don’t want to.

19. Are you a sucker for foreign accents? Noooooo… unless it’s like Aussie.

20. Are you skilled at giving directions? You would think so, considering my job, but I wouldn’t call myself skilled. I guess I would call myself “not hideous”.

21. Is your name frequently mispronounced? Surprisingly so.

22. Do you attempt to pronounce foreign words correctly, such as calling a crescent-shaped roll a cwaSAHN? I feel like this question is ridiculous. In the spirit of being honest; no, it’s a freaking Croissant.

23. Do you think grades in school mattered? They did when I was in school, now that I am out of school I’m well aware that the best teacher is life experience. So I guess re doing my french project in Grade 7 was completely useless.

24. Can you tie a tie? What about a bowtie? Nope. Some days I’m surprised I can even tie my shoes.

25. Does making a good list ever feel like an accomplishment in itself? Like a list about good things, or just a well written list? Either way, not in the least.

26. Have you ever been on fire? Only on the dance floor! (lies… this chick has no rhythm)

27. Are your faucets tricky to the point where were an out-of-towner to use your shower, you’d feel the need to give a tutorial? If you need a tutorial on how to use my faucets then I’m sorry we can’t be friends, get out of my house.

28. Do you tend (or did you tend) to date people older or younger than yourself? The only time I ever dated someone younger than me, he was only younger by about 12 days. Otherwise the people I’ve gone out with have always been older than me by years.

29. When walking or driving with a companion in a place where your companion
is familiar and you are not, do you tend not to pay any attention whatsoever? This question confuses me, so I’m going to not pay attention to it!

30. Do the number of beaches you’ve been on exceed your fingers? Well sure, beaches are generally bigger than fingers.
