Jar of balloons survey 2 in Surveys

1.) Does walking on rattling street vents make you anxious?

Extremely. Walking on any street vents makes me nervous enough that I veer around them when at all possible, and jump over them when not.

2.) Do you get mad when a drink is handed across a bar to you with too much ice? Mad enough to send it back? Do you send meals back in restaurants or just suffer through them?

No, I like a lot of ice. I don't ever send meals back, I just suffer thru them.

3.) Are there multiple languages in which you're fluent?

Just English.

4.) Why did you leave your hometown, if you did?

To go to college. And then I just never left my college town.

5.) Have you ever walked around carrying something (a bouquet of flowers, for instance) just because you like the looks folks give you on the street?

Can't say that I have, no...

6.) Can you identify artists by looking at paintings?

Only famous ones like Money or Georgia O'Keefe or Picasso.

7.) Do you eat the crusts of pizza or only when they're excellent or you're hungry? Do you eat other people's crusts? Do you cut the crusts off bread?

I eat the crusts. And I eat other peoples' crusts, too.

8.) Which is snobbier, ballet or opera? Poetry or croquet? How about football, beer and buffalo wings as a little group? How about cigarettes and cities and streetlights and walking away in a leather jacket?

LOL...I found myself picking the ones I didn't prefer as the snobby ones, so I don't think my answers are valid....

9.) Do you prefer aiming fans directly at your face or setting them on oscillate so as to best relish that all-too-brief rush of coolness? And when a fan turns away to, say, rustle an unpaid bill on the end table, do you follow it with your face as far as you can? Do you sit and patiently wait?

Oscillate, definitely. I sit patiently and wait for it to come back.

10.) How are you at building fires? How about changing flat tires?

Mediocre at building a fire. Last time I did it, I was ok with changing a flat tire. But it was a bike tire so....

11.) Have you ever bitten someone with the goal being to break skin?

Not that I'm aware of.

12.) Have you ever carved initials into wet cement? What about thrown a grocery cart or brick off of a bridge?

LOL. Are these in the same category of badassery? Cuz I've carved initials, but never thrown things off of a bridge.

13.) Do you make it a point to go somewhere to watch fireworks?

I go to the high school that's like, 6 blocks away, if my friends are going

14.) Are there certain places (homes, city blocks, etc.) you avoid because of memories?

Yep.

15.) Can you think of a particular mirror in which you appear particularly ugly or particularly attractive?

My bathroom mirror makes me look skinnier.

16.) Do you find that whatever season is next (spring, winter, fall, summer) sounds pretty good? In which season have the majority of your memories clustered?

No, I tend to savor each season as it's happening (perhaps just to spite the people wishing it were another season...) The majority of my memories are clustered in the summer.

17.) When encountering a huge and many-roomed house, do you ever want just to find a remote room in its upstairs and hide? What would you do in there? Regardless, why is there so much delight in the thought that whole days might pass before you were found?

Oooh, yes. I'd love to hide in an upstairs room and just go thru everything at my leisure. There's so much delight because it's an escape to be naughty.

18.) Have you ever been the victim of a burglary? Do you think you could mug someone?

No and yes.

19.) Can you recall the last time the number of candles on your birthday cake equaled the number of years you'd been alive?

nope

20.) One CD at a time, over and over, or always a mix?

One mix cd over and over
