A little about me:


Here's a long survery I found and figured I'd post on here. I hope it brings about a little insight as to who I is.

Here we go:

1. IF YOU COULD BUILD A HOUSE ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
Out in the middle of nowhere… on a huge piece of land… with lots of trees and hills… and possibly a creek… oh… and a pond.

2. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ARTICLE OF CLOTHING
My black, leather trench-coat. I love it.

3. FAVORITE PHYSICAL FEATURE OF THE OPPOSITE SEX?
The face… and eyes. Nothing else really matters.

4. WHAT'S THE LAST CD THAT YOU BOUGHT?
Porcupine Tree: (Stars Die)

5. WHERE'S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO BE?
That all depends.
If I want to be by myself, I like to be out in the woods/forest… away from everyone and anything man-made.
If I want to be with friends/family… then I don’t care where we are… because it will be fun.

6. WHERE'S YOUR LEAST FAVORITE PLACE TO BE?
Hospitals. I hate them. There is to much sadness behind those walls… so much sadness that I can feel it as I walk around. I don’t like seeing people sad… or in pain… so… I hate hospitals. I’d rather be anywhere else.

7. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO BE MASSAGED
My shoulders… and lower back. Speaking of that… I need to go to a masseuse. I’ve always wanted to get a professional massage… but… they’re way to expensive.

8. WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT, STRONG IN MIND OR STRONG IN BODY?
Strong in mind. No doubt about it. I’ve seen the strong in body fail over and over again. The strong in mind can do anything they want so long as they put their mind to it.

9. WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE IN THE MORNING
Depends on the day:
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I wake up around 8:45 and 9 in the a.m.
Tuesdays and Thursdays I usually wake up around noon.
Saturdays I wake up whenever I wake up.
And Sundays I wake up around 9 and 9:30 in the a.m.

10. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE KITCHEN APPLIANCE?
The woman.
Ok… just kidding. It would be the dishwasher. I absolutely hate doing the dishes. I’d rather clean all the bathrooms than do dishes.

11. WHAT MAKES YOU REALLY ANGRY?
Being lied to, being accused of something I didn’t do, being called a liar, and being taken advantage of.

12. IF YOU COULD PLAY ANY INSTRUMENT, WHAT WOULD IT BE
Well… I already know how to play the saxophone… the next instrument I want to learn is the piano. I absolutely love listening to solo piano music.

13. FAVORITE COLOR?
Black… and silver. But mostly black.

14. WHICH DO YOU PREFER, SPORTS CAR OR SUV?
Sports cars. Hands down.

15. DO YOU BELIEVE IN AFTERLIFE?
Does Rosie O’donnell like ice cream?
Of course I do.

16. FAVORITE CHILDREN'S BOOK?
Hmm… probably Alice in Wonderland.

17. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON?
Summer. Heat is good. (unless I can’t turn on the a/c… in which case I like either Spring or Fall)

18. WHAT'S YOUR LEAST FAVORITE HOUSEHOLD CHORE?
Dishes! I will do any chore so long as I don’t have to do the dishes. In fact… I would do all the household chores in exchange for doing the dishes.

19. IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
The ability to teleport anywhere I wanted to. That would be… super hero cool.

20. IF YOU WANT A TATTOO, WHAT IS IT?
Well… I already have two of them. I would like to make my first one bigger… but I have no idea what I want to add around it to make it bigger.

21. CAN YOU JUGGLE?
I sure can. I learned how by glancing through a book.

22. The one person you wish you could go back in time and talk to?
My grandpa. I miss him. He was such a funny and interesting man.

23. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE DAY?
Any of the good ones.
I’m not a big fan of the bad days.

24. WHAT'S IN THE TRUNK OF YOUR CAR?
Oh… to answer that is to answer the mysteries of life. I have no idea.

25. WHICH DO YOU PREFER, SUSHI OR HAMBURGER?
Hamburger. Raw fish and seaweed just doesn’t seem too appealing.

26. FROM THE PEOPLE YOU WILL EMAIL THIS TO, WHO'S MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
Well… since I’m not emailing this to anyone… I’d have to say… no one.

27. WHO'S LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
Same as above.

28. Would you rather be stranded on a deserted, small, island thousands of miles away from the nearest civilization; lost in a very large jungle with danger lurking around every corner; or lost in the middle of a very, very big desert with no water with you?
The jungle. That would be awesome! Mainly because I would be the most dangerous thing on the island. ;)

29. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
My stomach. That’s the only thing I’m really not happy with. But… I’m about to begin working on that… starting first thing next month.

30. Is your job your passion?
Seeing as how I’m not working at the moment… I’ll have to say no. However… whatever my future job is… I hope I enjoy it enough for it to be considered a passion.

31. Do you believe "Everything happens for a reason."
Everything. Every single little thing.

32. Do you think that people mistake your kindness as a weakness?
Many times they have… but that’s because it is a weakness. Well… it can be a weakness.

33. If you could be born 50 years earlier or later which would you choose?
50 years earlier. People seemed to be a little more moral back then. Plus… there wasn’t as many distractions as there are now.

34. What is the most important thing you can teach your child?
Knowledge about God…
and how to potty by themselves.

36. If you were granted one wish what would it be?
To make everyone around me happy.

37. If you could meet a famous person who would you like to meet?
Hmm… I don’t really know. They’re just people… but… I guess I would like to meet Bruce Willis. Although… I don’t really know what we would talk about.

38. Where have you traveled to?
All over the U.S. I’ve yet to leave the country… but I will one day.

39. Do you take a shower before you go to bed or when you get up in the morning?
Either.
Depending on how nasty I feel.

40. Would you rather have $10,000 or perfect hair everyday for the rest of your life?
Oh wow… I wish I was given that option. I’d take the 10 grand.
I’d even shave my head for the rest of my life in exchange for 10 grand. :)

A few years back… to keep myself from making the biggest mistake of my life.

Hit someone?:
Does my brother and sister count? If not… then no.

My first surgery was in 3rd grade. I had a hernia that needed fixin’.

Third was to get my wisdom teeth removed.

Tried to kill yourself?:
Never tried. Thought about it many years ago... but was never serious enough to attempt it.

Called 911?:
Just once. There was some people fighting outside my apartment… and it was loud… so… I called the cops on them.

Broke the law?:
Many times. But nothing serious enough to get me in jail or anything.

Ran from the cops?:
It might have been the cops. We blew up some fireworks a short distance from the house. As we were about to leave the woods we noticed some flashlights searching in our direction. So… we ran. It was a fun night.

I dyed it blonde and attempted to put blue streaks in it. The blue didn’t turn out right.

Nope.

Been to the Pacific ocean?:
Yes… and the Atlantic ocean.

A few. None that were any good though.

Once. I ran into the door knob when I was little. :)

Not yet.

Would you ever sky dive?:
Maybe.

Maybe.

Depends on how stupid. But… there’s not a whole lot I wouldn’t do for a million dollars.

If you had three wishes, what would they be?:
To make everyone around me happy.
To have a never ending cash flow.

Do you believe in God?:
Very much so.

Where were you most of the day, today?:
At the Thomasson's house. Some of the college students ate lunch there after church.

Paper or plastic:
Plastic. For 2 reasons.
1) Since I used to bag groceries… I understand the frustration of putting purchases in paper bags.
2) I can carry in about 15-20 plastic bags inside at once. Paper bags… I can carry 2 in at a time.

Pepsi or coke:
Out of those two… Cokes.

Peanut butter or jelly:
Depends on what I’m eating it with… but… I guess I’d pick Jelly.

Adam Sandler or Ben Stiller:
Ben Stiller. After Punch Drunk Love... I kind of lost my respect for Adam Sandler.

Gold or silver:
Silver. I do not like wearing gold.

Scary movies or funny movies:
Depends on my mood. I love to laugh… but I also enjoy freaking myself out. Only problem is… most “scary” movies are anything but scary.

N'Sync or BSB:
Neither.

ADIDAS or Nike:
I don’t really care.

In person or over the phone:
In person. The phone is alright… but nothing beats in person.

Were you ever a fan of NKOTB?:
I don’t even know what NKOTB is.
Oh. Well… according to my roommate… that’s New Kids on the Block. So no. I was never a fan of theirs.

Are you happy right now?:
I’m usually always happy. It takes something big to bring me down.

What time is it right now?:

Why in the world did you just fill this whole thing out?:

Hey Nate, just out of curiosity, was that picture from John Roberson's world party back in March of '03?

I took that picture a day or two after moving back to Texas. I have 2 other pictures that go along with it. For Johnny Rob's party I went as a pimp.
