100 things about me (yeah, I know, it's a cop out)

1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
A series of 3 half inch scars in a row on the side of my heel. When I was just born, the doctor wasn't able to draw blood with the conventional means, so he switched to plan B

2. WHAT DOES YOUR CELL PHONE LOOK LIKE?
I'm rarely out of reach of a land line, so why get a cell phone?

3. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO?
No heavy metal, pop or someone taking classical and sacred and blending them together

4. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?
Sometime early in the morning

5. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?
To be in heaven (don't worry, I'm not prone to suicidal tenancies)

6. WHAT DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
Now there's a broad question. One would have to be being allowed to drive

7. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION?
A prized possession would be my black hoodie

8. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SMELL?
Rubbing alcohol, sun-dried sheets, and the air right after a rain

9. DO YOU GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC?
No. It's all about mind-control

10. DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DARK?
No, except I do get a little nervous walking down a moonless pitch dark country road, but once one applies the answer to the previous question, one realizes the chances of being attacked by a grouchy bear are very thin. Tripping over a porcupine is far more likely. After I do that, I then get distracted by trying to avoid veering off the road and walking face-on into a tree.

11. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOGNE / PERFUME TO WEAR?
Too much perfume gives me a headache, so why attach it to myself?

12. WHAT KIND OF HAIR DO YOU LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SEX?
At least three strands, blue-black (so black it looks almost really dark blue... hard to explain) or blond. Oh, and mullets give me the willies

13. WHERE CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF BEING PROPOSED TO AT?
Bad grammar. It should be more like At which place can you see yourself being proposed to?

14. COFFEE OR ENERGY DRINKS?
Surprisingly enough, I've never had an energy drink, so I'll have to get back to you on that

15. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PIZZA TOPPING?
Everything. Olives and feta cheese especially

16. IF YOU COULD EAT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I have no appetite, so nothing sounds good at the moment

Other than myself... ?

18. DO YOU SPEAK A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE?
I've heard that men sometimes believe women speak a different one than themselves

19. WHAT WAS THE FIRST GIFT SOMEONE EVER GAVE YOU (OF THE OPPOSITE SEX)?
First?? Most likely it was my dad and I would have been faaaaaaaaaar too young to recall what it was. In relatively recent memory (the last 5 years or something)... a red rose.

20. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING?
Uh... define 'falling in love' and 'leaving'

21. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TELL SOMEONE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU?
The best would be face-to-face, however, it's also potentially the most awkward way

29. EVER DONE A PRANK CALL?
Just the other day I came close to convincing Katie that I was some stranger calling about the canoe they'd advertised for their yard sale.
