Topic: 50 Non-Movie Questionnaire

[Blair]

I thought it would be interesting to do a survey here in complete contrast to the one of I did over the Invelos and even unusual for this site: none of the questions have to do with tv, movies, or DVDs!  I also did my best to use as few "traditional" questions (Name, age, location, favorite color, etc.) as possible.

At the bottom, under the spoiler is code you can copy and paste into the reply window. Some of the questions are slightly shortened from these at the top to save answer-space:

[Blair]

What is your favorite...

• Non-electronics activity? Creating and solving puzzles
• Previously-visited location? Probably the Bahamas because it felt so different from other places I have been
• Time of day? Any time between midnight and 4:00am
• Website not related to movies/DVDs? I don't think Wikipedia is my favorite website, but I visit it more regularly than other sites (what few sites I go to)
• Emoticon on this forum?   or 

If you could ________ who/what/where would it be?:

• ...Have something named after you...: A puzzle-toy
• ...Switch places with someone for a week: Jamie Lynn Spears (my reasoning is a bit lengthy, but it has a lot to do with Britney Spears and past family relations.)
• ...Travel back in time only to observe...: God's creation of the universe or the Big Bang (whichever you believe)
• ...Change one thing about your current self...: Break away from the insecurities that keep me tired down

Do you...

• Talk to yourself? Yes, when I am trying to drown out ambient noises while I concentrate... particularly while doing math or high reasoning in my head.
• Sing in the shower? Nope, although a voice can sound really good giving a false sense of singing abilities!
• Know how to sew or cross-stitch? Cross-stitch, yes.
• Rattle your fingers from pinky to thumb or from thumb to pinky? Pinky to thumb
• Own something that you don't know what it is? A few little things that look like parts to larger objects
• Own an 8-track player? Yep, but it's not hooked up
• Go fishing or hunting at least once a year? Nope; I've never hunted and the only finishing that enjoy is deep sea which takes more planning, so I just avoid it
• Floss your teeth daily like dentists recommend? Yea... right. I'm lucky to even remember to do it, much less follow through.
• Own anything that belonged to your great grandparents or further back? Some papers and a gold coin

Have you ever...

• Been surfing/wakeboarding? Not since I was about 10-12 years old.
• Injured yourself doing something you were told not to do? Not that I recall. I feared both injury and getting caught, so...
• Been noticeable electrocuted? Yes, I've been shocked several times (each for several seconds) though a power outlet, and I stepped on a live wire I didn't know was there
• Changed a tire? Only once; go figure it was in the middle of nowhere while it was raining and the jack was rusty
• Changed the oil in a road-based vehicle? Nope
• Lived in your home for a week or longer without electricity? A few times: a freak ice storm that shut power and water off for almost two weeks, and the other time during Hurricane Katrina
• Stood on the edge of a mountain? Twice: the first time was scaling a mountain in Hawaii to reach a waterfall. This was a marked path for tourism yet the ledge at one point wasn't more than three feet wide; the second was by choice 1,000 feet up on a snow-capped mountains
• Rid in a limousine? Several times: other than the initial surprise the first time, it's not all it's cracked up to be
• Built something with nails or screws? A couple of times, though I have the craftsmanship of an 8 year old
• Been severely injured? Thankfully, no.
• Sat or stood on the roof of a moving vehicle? Yea... a neighbor's van imitating Teen Wolf
• Done something illegal just to see if you would get caught? Yes, but not something for which they would have thrown me in jail for 10 years
• Have you ever taken the blame for something you did not do? Only once that I recall; I'm selfish
• Driven down the wrong way of a one-way street? Ridden more than once. There are frontage roads on either side of the main highway. From in town, taking the far one means passing two roads that both look like the correct road (and there are no signs or lights for help) It's common to turn into the second road instead of skipping it to go to the third.
• Done the Mntos and soda experiment? Nope; a waste of soft-drink money!

Random stuff:

• What is the fastest you have ever moved in a car? Over 100 mph
• When was the last time you prepared and ate a salad at home? Thanksgiving a couple of weeks ago
• How many relatives have you spoken with in the past week? Due to Christmas coming up, around 20
• What is one thing that has worsened about your country/the world in your lifetime? As odd as this sounds: the advancement of entertainment technology. The worst types of crimes happening today have been happening for centuries prior, but you didn't turn on the radio and hear non-stop bad news. Kids worked and played outside and dinner was a time for the family to get together instead of sitting in front of the TV or Internet to watch and play video games.
• How do you like your steak cooked? Technically, I like it exactly in the middle: medium. I have to order it medium rare many places because they fix it medium and then it overcooks on its way to the table.
• What is your typical attire? Shorts, a short-sleeve t-shirt, and tennis shoes all year long... even in below-freezing temperatures.
• What did you want to grow up to be? A dentist or an entomologist like my father
• How often do you wear your seat belt? At all times, even if I was only going a few houses down in my neighborhood.
• How many different items do you have in your wallet/purse right now? Including cash money: 25
• When was the last time you rode a non-stationary bicycle? At least 12 years ago.

This or That:

• Global warming: real problem or over-hyped issue? Way overly hyped; Al Gore believes in it, that's enough reason for me to think it's fake
• "Going Green:" helpful or money-waster? Extreme money-waster that allowed new 'more efficient', more expensive products to be produced while phasing out the old ones that often worked better. The part-ethenol gasoline that phased in here causes the mileage of cars that require unleaded gasoline to drop which in turn means having to use more gasoline for the same distance, but the benefit to the companies is that we have to spend more
• Political parties: helpful or hindering? Hinders. There are three main voter types: Democrats; Republicans; Independents. Every election I hear how 80% of funding is spent trying to convince the independents who to vote for. That's because the other tow parties are often sheep, voting for their party regardless of what their candidate says he will do
• Sports: worth the high pay or "it's just a game?" They are doing a job like anyone else, so they obviously deserve to be paid, but not $15 million for 2 years of work.
• Religion/Prayer: meaningful or foolish? I find it very meaningful. Even from a non-religious standpoint you can see the benefits of it often being calming when otherwise a person would remain frantic
• Disciplinary spanking: meaningful or cruelty? Meaningful, though there is a line where the parents/teacher can go too far. It ticks me off how other groups can dictate how a parents must raise their own child. Not every child responds to "time outs." In fact, while some claim spanking causes kids to rebel against their parents, many kids discover that if a time out is the worst punishment they will receive, they see no reason to hold back and become more rebellious for that reason instead.

The helpfulness is more on the psychological side. Nevertheless I respect those that seek salvation in religion, it's just that I am much too rational for this.

If you could ________ who/what/where would it be?:

• Go fishing or hunting at least once a year? No
• Floss your teeth daily like dentists recommend? No, but I should

• Done something illegal just to see if you would get caught? No
• Have you ever taken the blame for something you did not do? No

Living in a small country, I can see the rise of unnecessary pollution and its effects on health, but climates clearly come and go in waves of severity. Weird weather is normal! Whatever happens, the Earth has seen off worse than us and will adapt. Random fact: Ozone was once a necessary gas. So it's leaking back in. Give it a millenia and we'll be breathing it happily.

• Political parties: helpful or hindering? Largely hindering
