Silly Survey, Take 2

TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF - The Survey
(For some reason, this survey came to mind today, and I decided to run through it again to see if any of it would be different)

Name: JJ
Birthday: A day for all to celebrate
Birthplace: I'd rather not think about that.
Current Location: Still UT? Aw, crap. I'm still here after all this time.

Eye Color: Still deep, engaging brown...with little rings of grey around the outside of the iris.
Hair Color: Luscious brown...with some sexily shimmering silver intermingled here and there.
Height: 5'8" -- at least I haven't shrunk

Right Handed or Left Handed: Lefty like our new president! Except golfing...and batting. Although I haven't hit a baseball in a long time, when I did, I hit more often right-handed, but I hit farther left-handed. Go fig.

Your Heritage: German, English, Norwegian, some other stuff. Pretty typical mutt.

The Shoes You Wore Today: Putty-colored Converse all-stars given to me by a best friend.

Your Weakness: Sincerely flirtatious cuteness...and dark chocolate.

Your Fears: Being wrong about important things. Investing in a relationship to find out the other party doesn't return the investment or interest as I'd hoped.

Your Perfect Pizza: There's no one pizza that could be deemed as perfect, but super thin, super crispy crust, not-too-sweet but zesty sauce, and asiago cheese are a good start... Incidentally, two of my favorite pizza places are Abby's and Fazzari's

Goal You Would Like To Achieve This Year: Figure out life, the universe, and everything. But I'd settle for...taking a picture I'd want to buy if I saw it somewhere. And maybe deciding on a career direction I'm satisfied with.

Your Most Overused Phrase On an instant messenger: "So...how're things?"

Thoughts First Waking Up: Aw, crap, I can't be mad at The Weepies for waking me up...

Your Best Physical Feature: The things I've probably most been complimented on are my smile, my eyes, and...eh, nevermind the other one.

Your Bedtime: Oh, this one still makes me chuckle.

Your Most Missed Memory: I think it's still that carefree, lighthearted, sunny, beaming feeling as a kid on a beautiful summer day. It's the kind of feeling that makes the world a wonderful place full of opportunities and fun, without a burden in the world.

Pepsi or Coke: Still neither. I'm glad I kicked these pernicious nectars from my life in high school.
McDonald's or Burger King: Why couldn't Chipotle or Panda Express be choices?
Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: Spiced herbal tea, maybe?
Chocolate or Vanilla: I'm still a chocolate guy for sure. Dark Belgian chocolate or Mayan chocolate being preferred flavors.
Cappuccino or Coffee: I wouldn't know, but give me mocha Teeccino, and I'm a happy camper.
Single or Group Dates: Depends on the situation and person, but mostly single. I mean...if I ever get around to really dating.

Do you Smoke: Ew.
Do you Swear: Hm...I've taken up the biblical words. And have started using them only very occasionally in decidedly non-biblical ways. Should probably curb that before I move on to more sailor-ish vocabulary.
Do you Sing: yes, yes I do. In the shower, in my room, in the car, at work, humming, whistling...I probably have a song going through my head more often than I don't.
Do you Shower Daily: I still do. Still sometimes twice. I'm a squeaky clean boy.

Have you Been in Love: Not fully, maybe. But I've been well on my way once or twice, in different ways. One day, it'd be nice to feel that way with someone with whom I feel I can do something about it.

Do you want to go to College: I just bought textbooks at DI for fun. Yeah, I probably do want to go back...
Do you want to get Married: I do know I want companionship, preferably of the lifelong commitment variety; preferably marriage, yes.

Do you believe in yourself: Not always.

Do you get Motion Sickness: I think I have once, but no, not normally.

Do you think you are Attractive: I've occasionally looked in the mirror and thought, "I'd smack that." I'm not gonna lie. But not always. There are good days and ugly days.

Are you a Health Freak: Nope. But I try to take care of myself.

Do you get along with your Parents: I do.

Do you like Thunderstorms: Love them. I really like it when the power goes out. Good creative bonding time...no, not THAT creative...sicko. ...OK, maybe that creative. Dang it, maybe marriage is more appealing all the time...

Do you play an Instrument: Piano.

In the past month have you Drunk Alcohol: Excluding the vanilla I added to one drink, no.
In the past month have you Smoked: No way.
In the past month have you been on Drugs: Just ibuprofen. And NyQuil. Ah, sweet mormon liquor.
In the past month have you gone on a Date: Well, Anne and I paid for each other at different points in the evening at Sundance Film Festival. I'm going to count that 'cause it's the closest I've come in a long time. ;-)
In the past month have you gone to a Mall: Twice? Once for a haircut, once to meet people in Park City.
In the past month have you eaten a box of Oreos: Heck no. I can't do that stuff anymore. In my youth, I could do crazy stuff like that, but I'm too old for those shenanigans.
In the past month have you eaten Sushi: Hm...I think so, yeah.
In the past month have you been on Stage: You mean besides go-go dancing? No, no I haven't. And stop being all shocked, I haven't been go-go dancing either.
In the past month have you been Dumped: Still...that requires having a relationship to be dumped from.
In the past month have you gone Skinny Dipping: Um...yes, yes I have.
In the past month have you Stolen Anything: Glances, but nothing else.

Ever been Drunk: Again, there was that whole mess at the youth center back home where somebody probably spiked the punch. But no, not other than that.
Ever been called a Tease: Not so much lately, actually. Which I count as progress. Though being a tease sure is fun.
Ever been Beaten up: No, and I'm not keen on starting now.
Ever Shoplifted: Nah.

How do you want to Die: With confidence that I've improved the world within my "sphere".

What do you want to be when you Grow Up: This one makes me chuckle, too.

What country would you most like to Visit: Peru, Austria, Australia, Japan (and if I get to count countries I've already been to, I'd love to explore more of Switzerland and Italy).

In a Boy/Girl...
Favourite Eye Color: Depends on other features.
Favourite Hair Color: Rich, silky brown.
Short or Long Hair: Depends on the individual, but generally short-to-medium for guys, long for girls (though some can pull off short in a really fun/sexy way)...did I mention silky? That applies regardless.
Height: Eh, whatever works.
Weight: Healthy, but lean is good.
Best Clothing Style: Clean, elegant, non-flashy, brandless, classic, sharp

Number of Drugs I have taken: Illegal? None. Medication? I lost count long ago, though I rarely take anything these days.
Number of CDs I own: My media player claims I own songs from 549 albums, but many of those are podcasts and singles.
Number of Piercings: Big 0.
Number of Tattoos: I really am conservative, aren't I? 0.
Number of things in my Past I Regret: I'm stopping counting at 5. That's enough for one night. Seriously, I could be spending my time focusing on such better things than regrets...like being done with this survey.
