Tina's coming over in half an hour or so. Bleg. Couldn't I work on this AP Hell project with, say, someone who doesn't drive me up a wall?
To waste time until her arrival...
Which Ringwraith are You?
By Lisa
This cracks me up.
SURVEY SPAM
(1) The singular boring question -- name?: kaydee. Oh, in RL? Does it matter?
(2) If you had been born a member of the opposite sex, what would your name have been?: Ross. Which amuses me no end, in conjunction with my RL name.
(3) Would you name a child of your's after you?: I love my name, but that's a pretty egotistical thing to do, ne?
(4) If you had to switch first names with a friend of your's, who would you switch with?: Hmmm... Maybe Mariel? No, I like my name.
(5) What's the way people most often mispronounce any part of your name?: DON'T get me started.
(6) If you were to become famous, would you drop your last name (like Madonna, Cher, Roseanne)?: Nope.
DEEP THEOLOGICAL QUESTIONS
(7) Do you believe in the traditional view of Heaven and Hell?: Not the Christian view, no. And yes, it is different from the Jewish view.
(8) Do you think God has a gender?: No.
(9) Do you think science counteracts religion?: Also, no. I do not believe that the Bible or the Torah or the Koran were meant to be taken so literally, nor do I think that science and religion are mutually exclusive. Example: supposedly, God created the world in seven days. Science puts that number at something like 46 billion years. The Bible's days were not literal days, but rather phases the Earth went through. And so on. The problem is that many people who choose to be religious either don't understand science or are hideously close-minded about it.
(10) Do you believe in organised religion?: Yes. But it does NOT always work, and I don't think anyone should be forced to believe anything they don't. Frankly, I don't think God would "judge" anyone based on what they believe. It's who you are as a person that matters, not whether you worship Jesus or Buddha or whomever.
(11) Where do you think we go when we die?: I don't know. I'm not a very good Jew -- I'd rather believe in reincarnation -- but I just don't know.
(12) Do you feel a little funny thinking about the questions in this section?: Why should I? I'm not a particularly religious person, but I do identify myself with the Jewish religion, and I do have opinions on this theology stuff. In case you hadn't noticed. ;)
HUMOUR (CANADIAN OR BRIT SPELLING ALERT!!!)
(13) How easy is it to make you laugh?: Pretty damn easy.
(14) What person you know makes you laugh the most?: Dan, probably.
(15) Do you laugh at jokes you know you shouldn't?: Yeah.
(16) Do you tell jokes you know you shouldn't?: Rarely.
(17) What words instantly make you laugh or at least smile?: Casaba melons. Heh.
(18) What do you think is the funniest thing you've ever said or written?: Damned if I know.
MUSIC
(19) Do you ever dance to music when nobody's watching?: Oh yes. Although I do not so much "dance" as "bop."
(20) What is/are the worst song(s) you have ever heard?: Anything currently popular. Like, Spear Britney and such.
(21) What song(s) do you wish you could understand a little better?: Dude, "Bohemian Rhapsody."
(22) What song(s) are constantly in your head?: Everything. Beatles/Broadway, mainly.
(23) What song(s) do you think describe your personality best?: I'm not even gonna try.
(24) If you were to serenade the object of your affections, which song(s) would you use?: Um. No.

MOVIES
(26) What movie(s) do you love that nobody else seems to?: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert! Not because no one else likes it. I have yet to meet anyone else who's SEEN it.

(28) Who's your favourite Star Wars character?: Han Solo. ::drools::

FOOD
(31) When eating, are you more concerned with taste or healthiness?: Taste, usually.
(32) What's your favourite kind of cheese?: Mozzarella!
(33) What do you think your answer to the previous question reveals about your personality?: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
(34) If you knew exactly what went into Chinese food, hamburger meat, etc., would you still eat it?: Um...yes.
(35) Do you ever feel guilty eating meat?: Nope.
COMPUTERS
(36) Mac or PC?: Mac
(37) How much do you actually care about the inner workings of your computer, as long as it works?: Not too much.
(38) Do you ever begin preferring IMs to other forms of conversation?: No.
(39) Do you find you're different talking through IMs than face-to-face or on the telephone?: Yeah, I guess.
(40) Have you ever ended bid on something on eBay and regretted it later?: Never bid on eBay.
THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES

(48) If there was to be a movie about you, who do you think should play you (in personality, looks or both)?: Meh. No clue.
(49) Does it ever annoy you when you know someone is a celebrity but you can't remember why?: Yup.
(50) If you could enter any celebrity's mind like in "Being John Malkovich", whose would you enter?: Very, very briefly, Dominic Monaghan. Just long enough to know what he knows about the boys, and that's it.
(51) Do you want to be John Malkovich?: Heh. Not really.

(52) Do you laugh when you hear or read the number 69?: When I'm feeling juvenile.

(58) Are there too many numbers floating around in our lives?: I like numbers.
(59) Does your head begin to hurt when you think of infinity, imaginary numbers, irrational numbers, etc.?: Are you kidding me? I thrive on that shit. Wouldn't last long in Calc otherwise.
