Heh. One of my fellow netizen friends sent me this survey and so I figured, sure, why the hell not. She posted it on her blog, might as well post it on here with my answer. Hey hey, the gang's all welcome to do it too if they want. Just cut'n'paste and fill in the blanks with you, not me. That's what I did...
On with the show, baby, on with the show... come on baby, no no no... Sorry, 80's flashback.

Innie or Outtie: Innie
Number of siblings: 1

Your heritage: 100& mutt. Approx. 30% German, 20% Norweigan, 10% Swedish, 10% English, and the other 30% assorted others.
The shoes you wore today: Black Vans.
Your Hair: Newly cut pretty short. Doesn't look too bad, really, but I'm still getting used to it.
Your eyes: Deep and mysterious, calculating and cautious, playful and giddy, mischievious and wondering, innocent and lost. Take your pick on any given Sunday.
Your weakness?: Can never turn a friend down unless there's no other option.
Your fears: Afraid of being alone, afraid of losing what I have for what I want, afraid of failure, afraid of being forgotten.

The first feature you notice in the opposite sex: Eyes, amazingly enough. Yes, some men DO look above the neck. I am one of them.
Your best physical feature, in your opinion: My grin.
Your best physical feature, in other’s opinions: I think other people would say I have no redeeming physical features whatsoever.
Your sleep position (side, back, or stomach): Ugh. I fall asleep on my stomach 90% of the time and spend most of my time sleeping on my side or on my back, apparently. I can, I've been told, snore from time to time.
Your greatest accomplishment: Successfully bucking the odds and moving to California, not once but twice.
Your favorite art period: Impressionism.
Your favorite class: When I was still in school? Creative Writing, obviously. Or Postmodern Lit. Take your pick for me.
The best time of the day: Between 8-10 p.m. and between 2-4 a.m.
Do You Prefer:
Single or group dates: Generally? Group dates if I'm/she's nervous, single dates if I'm/she's not. But then again, I don't date much by choice. My list of "bad dates" runs pretty long and contains a lot of stories that are pretty funny if you can laugh at your own adversity. I try to.

Collect anything: Literature, music and graphic novels.
Want to get married: Yeah, I think I could be into that idea, truth be told.
Type with your fingers on the right keys: My typing skills are, let us say, fucked up. I type fast, but I don't type traditionally by any stretch of the imagination. Comes from doing it wrong, but doing it wrong a lot for a long period of time and getting good at it.
Think you're attractive: Bah.
Get along with your parents: Like most people and their parents, I'd guess. Some of the time.
Get asked by friends for advice often: Ze Doctor *is* in...
Like thunderstorms: Oh, I love rain. I love going out and standing in the rain, just letting it pour down on me. Don't give a shit how soaked I get, I love standing in the rain.
Play an instrument: Can passably play guitar.
Have any quirks: Ask everyone else. I'm sure I do and just don't know what they are.
Have pets: Siamese cat named Marx who's asleep on the floor right behind my chair right now. He's sunbathing. Cats are, indeed, solar powered.
Like yourself: I get along with me. I'm fond of me. I'm not perfect and there's things I'd like to improve or fix, but I'm working on what I can, and what I can't, I'm trying to accept or outwait.

Age you hope to be married: An age? Hell, I gotta find someone even remotely crazy enough to consider it before I think about that kinda thing.
How do you want to die: In a quick, fast blaze of glory or when I'm old and surrounded by dozens of people I love who love me. I do not want to die "alone, unmourned and unloved."
