Valentine's day is an over-hyped rip-off. But I always use it as an excuse to get more lingerie.
Do you prefer hot weather or cold weather?

To tell you the truth I watch like 1 hour of TV a week, maybe even a month. I have never even heard of Criminal minds and I have seen only half an episode of L&O. So Law and Order gets my vote because I have at least heard of it.

When I was only 5 years old, my older sister and her best friend forced me to act like a cow and graze in our front yard. She made me eat grass. I'd have to say that was the strangest thing I've ever eaten.
You've made quite a name for yourself posting here in the tfp. Having gained that bit of notoriety, you've been asked many questions that just seem cliched and trite. I don't want to do that to you out of respect for your craft and your time. So, I'll ask a simple question: If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

Easy, I would be a Weeping Willow. No I am not some pansy that cries all the time, this is about trees gosh darnit! I love the look of the tree. As a child vacationing in BC at the lakes there would be weeping willows everywhere. Playing in the shade of these magnificent trees is amazing. They just sing of beauty and they remind me of being young and free.

We've lost touch with our food. I personally am trying to move back to organics when possible. Can't give up my Lean Cuisines, but aim for the spa ones with whole grains. Always feel better when I'm eating less processed, hydrolyzed, and hormonalized stuff. I bow before the altar of Whole Foods and Fresh Market.
On that note, what are your healthiest and unhealthiest favorite foods?

I don't really make "New Years Resolutions". But recently I have been trying to spend less time on the computer, and more time reading, doing school work, and getting fit. I have been doing a pretty decent job of it so far (going on my 4th week now). So I would say that my resolutions to try and manage my time better have been successful.
How much TV would you say you watch in an average week? This excludes putting in movies. |

and in answer to plummie's question - no birds here, one or two birdbrained people in my life but no pet birds - the obnoxious ones that cheep outside my window in the spring are bad enough... blah's question -- When i am home, my tv is almost always on, primarily for background noise... i can't stand total silence... but i would say i watch maybe 2 hours of television per day... do you like snow/ why or why not?

I love snow. I love it when it snows in December and I'm not yet used to the cold and trudging. I love snow when it falls in big, fat flakes. I love snow when it crunches beneath your feet as you walking it and it makes excellent snow balls.
I hate snow in March, when I've had enough. I hate snow when it falls wet and dripping. I hate snow when it has been on the ground too long and looks more brown and grey than fluffy and white. I hate snow when it gets shoved down the back of my coat. Oddly this winter, we have had very little snow. How often do you get your hair cut and do you go to a barber or a stylist? How much to you pay?

I've gone back to shaving my head, so I do it myself about every two weeks. I've been to both extremes with my hair, from down to below my shoulders to shaved bald. As much as I liked having it long, short is the easiest to take care of.
Ever had a suit tailored from scratch?

The highest education I have gotten so far is my high school diploma, but I am currently getting my bachelor's degree. My best education though, would have to be all of the travelling I've done.
If you could change your past and take back the decision to sleep with one person, why would you do it?

I would take back the decision to sleep with the woman i lost my virginity to. Cause although she had a killer body, redhead, and was outstandingly beautiful, I really didn't care for her, and she didn't for me. and then the next summer I fell in love with a great girl, and it would have been so much better to do it with her. But I was so sick of being a virgin, I was 21 for christ's sake!

I would take back my decision because it was the perfect mood and we both really wanted to. However, I didn't go through with it because I was engaged at the time. But I broke up the engagement shortly after that so I should have just done it.
Where did you go on your first date?

the right cowboy hat perhaps - -long as it fits you well... yes you would...
the definition of stress is when the mind overrides the body's desire to choke the living crap out of some asshole who desperately deserves it.... That said... to lessen the stress - is it wrong to want to choke some people - -or at the very least to tell them to shut the hell up... if it helps with my stress? (yes, i know, it's not all about me but... ) defend your answer.

It is not wrong, because wrong is a relative concept. If you don't think it's wrong, it's not wrong. You are the judge, jury and executioner of your own fate. Nobody nowhere at no time has any control over you to tell you what to think, do or feel.
Question: is what I just said pure shit?

Probably, but who cares? this is the Nonsense forum after all...
When you drive by workers on strike, do you honk the horn in support or just give them the finger, depending on whether you are pro-union or not?

I don't give the finger because I'm not overly rude... but i am also anything but pro union - I might write a journal entry telling them to get the fat cat union leaders to get a clue.

An actual letter, with heading, greeting, body, salutation...oh come on...you remember 4th grade english class, don't you?
