Some survey thingy

Chet filled out this survey thingy and posted it as a bulletin up on myspace. I'm following suit here:

Do you have any pets?
*None. The best one I ever had died years ago. Don't want anymore after him.

What color shirt are you wearing?
*White T-shirt

Name three things that are physically close to you:
*My laptop, wireless mouse, external hard drive

What is the last book you read?
*I don't even remember - it's probably been years...

Are you or were you a good student?
*Pre-college - yes. During college - kind of slipped in the ranks, but still managed to graduate cum laude :-P
After college - I don't wish to be a student ever again, if I can help it. I prefer to learn on my own terms and time.

What's your favorite sport?
*Table Tennis. It is a sport.

Do you enjoy sleeping late?
*Absolutely. Enjoy waking up late too. That's why my 3-11 shift at work is perfect.

What's the weather like right now?
*I don't know. Haven't been out of the house yet to see.

Who tells the best jokes?
*Been a while since I heard a good joke. I hear sarcasm all the time though...

What was the last thing you dreamed about?
*I find that I don't dream while on Xanax these past few days. So, I don't remember what I dreamt about last.

Do you drive? If so, have you ever crashed?
*Yes. And Yes. Thankfully unharmed in all accidents, be it me driving or riding.

Do you believe in karma?
*Sometimes.


Do you believe in luck?
*Sometimes.


Do you like your eggs scrambled or sunny side up?
*Easiest way to eat eggs is scrambled. The best taste is sunny-side up, but it's messy.


Do you collect anything? If so, what?
*I don't think I've stayed interested enough in any single thing in order to collect it. I tried to collect comics and cards back in middle school, but that didn't last long :-P


Are you proud of yourself?
*I should say yes, but I have low self-esteem. So the answer is not really. There's always something about myself that I don't like or am not proud of.

Are you reliable?
*Probably? You tell me :-P


Have you ever given money to a bum?
*Probably more often than I want to or should.

What's your favorite food?
*I've been loving my Tokyo Mart bento.

Have you ever had a secret admirer?
*I don't believe so.

Do you like the smell of gasoline?
*Not really.

*I don't have such talent.

What's your favorite invention?
*Ummm...never thought of this before. I'll agree with Chet and say MUSIC.

Is your room messy?
*Probably is. But the floor is visible, so I don't think it's bad :-P I just have too much stuff.


What do you like better: oranges or apples?
*Bananas.

Do you give in easily?
*Usually do. I'm a sucker - I try to be nice - probably more than I should, actually.

Are you a good guesser?
*Never. I can't predict things like Chet ;-D Chet already knows how the movie's gonna end after the first 10 minutes of watching. Serious.

Can you read other people's expressions?
*Not really. I'm more confused and unsure if I'm left to figure such things out on my own. I'd rather have people just tell me straight up. I don't like guessing. I have poor social skills :-P

Are you a bully?
*I don't think I'm a bully, but sometimes I don't mind giving people a hard time :-P Only if I know they can take my humor and joke back ;-D


What time did you wake up this morning?
*Around 8 am. Chet called me :-D

*Early this am, after getting home from work.

What do you plan on doing tomorrow?
*Going to work, as usual. SSDD.


What's your favorite day of the week and why?
*Any day where I'm off from work is my favorite.


Do you have any nicknames?

Have you ever been scuba diving?
*No. I don't really care for sea life or sea creatures. You know I can only float.

What's your least favorite color?
*Anything that's so bright that it blinds you. Like those super-hot-pink post-it notes - those kill my eyes.

Is there someone you have been constantly thinking about? If yes, who?

*No fucking way. I'd shit my pants the whole way down.

*I finally watched Dark Night and Death Race on bluray.


What do you want to know about the future?
*I want to know that everything is gonna be alright, somehow.

What does your last text message say?
*No one sent me a text so far today :-( I usually just text Val.


Who was the last person you spoke over the phone to?
*To my Chika - Chet :-D

What's your favorite school subject?
*There's a few - mostly the sciences and music. NEVER math. Didn't care to read, so not even English :-P


What's your least favorite school subject?
*Like what I said earlier - Math and English >_<

I love Silverchair

I've been listening to Silverchair since high school. I've watched the band members grow as artists, and observed the evolution of their music. The song "Across the night", has a line that I absolutely love: "I don't want to be lonely, I just want to be alone".



=============================
Here's the lyrics:

Across the night
It was the moon that stole my slumber
Across the night
I fell in love with people sleeping

I fell tired, asleep in a golden ocean
Your eyes perspired, a spike in my fascination

I don't mean to make you cry
But this feeling will run right through the night
And I'll only make you cry with these feelings

across the night
it was the moon who stole my slumber
across the night
i fell in love with people sleeping..
across the night..
across the night..
across the night..
i hugged a man's arthritic shoulder

Sleepless, untamed without a leash on the light around me

I don't mean to make you cry
But this feeling will run right through the night
And I'll only make you cry with these feelings

across the night
it was the moon who stole my slumber
across the night
i fell in love with people sleeping..
across the night..
across the night..
across the night..
i hugged a man's arthritic shoulder
i hugged a man's arthritic shoulder..

So let us be married and have another baby
'cause I don't wanna be lonely, I just wanna be alone
Yeah let's just get married, shouting baby, baby, babies
"You'll never sleep at all"
But I don't wanna be lonely

Never seen the sunshine
From higher points than sunrise
I don't wanna be lonely
I just wanna be alone

==================

"Ken Lee"

Okay. I took a break from video editing yesterday (my day off), and spent lots of time on that failblog.org site. I found another funny FAIL video - this time it's some lady on what appears to be a Bulgarian show called "Music Idol" (kind of like our American Idol) - and she's singing Mariah Carey's song called "Ken Lee".

Have a look...it's too funny:



Amazing. LOL.
