Top 5 Bands I Never Want to Hear Again:
1. Spice Girls
2. New Kids On The Block
3. Backstreet Boys (eh, I don't really care that much about them, but they kind of bug me, sometimes. 'N Sync, not so much, for some reason.)
4. I don't want to necessarily never hear Nelly again (I don't dislike all his songs, even), but can I just get a break from him? Then maybe I could like him again. I'm just way tired of the same songs over and over again. Get some new musicians on the radio, guys! I know miiiike feels me on this one, as we talked about it the other night.
5. Same with Ja Rule. I just need a little Ja vacation, yo.

Top 5 MP3s On My Computer:
1. NA for this one, because I don't have any MP3s on my computer.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Top 5 Songs That Make Me Smile:
Well, I'm not sure if these are really my top five, but deal with it. Heh.
1. "It's A Wonderful World," Louis Armstrong
2. "Angry Anymore", Ani DiFranco
3. "At Last", Etta James
4. A tie, between "Love Like This" and "All Night Long", Faith Evans.
5. "Over the Rainbow", Judy Garland. Oh, wait, that one makes me want to cry. Right. Hee. Um, maybe "Imagine", by John Lennon? I can never decide on just a top five list for these sorts of questions.

Top 5 Things/People I Strongly Dislike
1. Rides that drop from really great heights, or go upside down. Yes, I'm a chicken, I don't deny it.
2. Fat spiders.
3. Pain, and discomfort. This is an obvious answer, but hey, it asks for the top five! And pain definitely ranks right up there. Specifically, the types of pain I hate the most are migraines, nausea (or other stomach problems), and ear aches.
4. When they interrupt television shows for "breaking news", that isn't even really "news". Then they go on and on, wasting time, when they totally could just wait to tell the story later. So annoying. Anyone reading this, from my area, I'll give you two words: New Carissa.
5. When people get all button crazy, changing stations on the radio, and channels on the TV. And won't even pause for more than a second, on any one station. God, I hate that.

Top 5 Reasons I Like the Winter:
1. Turtlenecks
2. Christmas decorations, and music
3. The holidays, in general
4. Not having to shave my legs. Haha.
5. Less sweating, and thighs sticking together. That's unpleasant on a bus that's heated to like 200 degrees, you know.

Top 5 Reasons I Hate the Winter:
1. The stupid rainy WIND, messing up my hair.
2. The cold. Brr.
3. The neverending grey skies, and lack of sunlight.
4. The stresses of the holidays. Family crap, money, and work, in other words.
5. Having to layer up like a little snowman, everywhere you go.

Top 5 Best Parts of the Human Body:
1. The brain.
2. Tastebuds, and the stomach. Hee.
3. The reproductive systems (for both men and women, and you know I don't just mean the inner stuff. Tee hee), with the exception of the evil pain it puts us ladies through every month.
4. Opposable thumbs! Hee. I like how I'm totally not answering this the way they probably expect you to.
5. The heart. What a tough working little son of a bitch. Heh.

Top 5 Things I Dream About:
1. Animals
2. Food
3. Bathrooms
4. Water
5. Floating, or flying

Top 5 Sexiest Piercings:
As in what I think is sexy on a guy? Honestly, I don't really have a particular thing for piercings on guys at all. If a guy has one, it doesn't mean I won't be attracted, but they aren't something that gets me going, you know? But, hey, I'll change this to "top 5 piercings I think are nice looking, or neat, for both genders." Easier to answer.
1. Nose piercings
2. Whatever the piercings are called that are above the chin, and below the mouth.
3. Lip piercings
4. Eyebrows (although this is pretty over-done now)
5. The ears, duh. Heh. I don't actually even have them pierced, though, myself. I did once, but I let them close up.

Top 5 Things My Future Apartment Would Need to Have:
1. A TV, and computer
2. A microwave/oven
3. A shower that's also a bathtub (or at least both, separately)
4. A washer and dryer (I'd go to a laundromat if I had to, but I'd definitely rather not have to do that)
5. A dishwasher. And, um, in case this isn't a given, I'd kind of need a bed to sleep on. Hee.

1. My green shorts from American Eagle Outfitters
2. My dark stretch jeans from The Gap
3. My spring and summer dresses
4. My platform sandals
5. Tank-tops in the summer, turtlenecks in the winter

Top 5 Favorite Vocalists:
1. Jill Scott
2. Erykah Badu
3. Ani DiFranco
4. A tie between Tupac and Biggie
5. Another tie between Sarah McLachlan and Tori Amos. And maybe Bjork. And maybe. . .damn't! I can never pick!

Top 5 Favorite Albums:
Ohhh, son of a bitch.
1. I SO can not pick just one Ani CD. So I'm just saying all of them. Haha.
2. "Acoustic Soul", India Arie
3. "Who Is Jill Scott?" and the live version (the double CD set), Jill Scott
4. Any of Erykah Badu's CDs.
5. "Life After Death," Biggie. Yes, I know that's cheating, since it's two CDs.

Top 5 Living People I'd Like to Meet:
1. dosidella
2. willothewisps
3. goodfish
4. eternaltimtams
5. Everyone else on my friends list. No, really. If only I had the money to fly to where you guys all live!

Second Survey:

Do you fix elaborate meals often?:

Is canned chili considered elaborate?

Have you ever gotten severely burned? How?:

I've gotten burned, yeah, but nothing so severe that I was in the hospital or whatever. I got burned once by a curling iron, and another time by the oven.
Do you know your next door neighbors well?:

No. I spoke very briefly with one of them, a long, long time ago. That's all.

Are you fond of practical jokes?:

Not when they're happenning to me. But I love Punk'd, so obviously it's another story if someone else is being subjected to it.

Do you obsess over nothing?:

"Obsesses Over Nothing" is one of my Indian names.

Have you ever bottle fed an orphaned animal?:

Uh, no.

Which country seems the most mysterious to you?:

Oh, I can't decide.

Do you have a nice view from your bedroom window?:

Nope. My view is my porch, and a bunch of bushes.

Do you pay most your bills on time?:

Heh, that's the goal, but I don't always manage it.

Do you ever eat raw spinach?:

Negatory, good buddy.

Have you ever sealed a message in a bottle and then thrown it into a body of water?:

No.

Would you rather be a politician or a flower child?:

A politician, so I could actually have a hand in things.

Is there a nuclear waste site near your home?:

I don't think so, but I believe there is a nuclear site in Washington, or something.

Have you ever been kicked out of a restaurant for being unruly?:

No, but I think my friends and I did get asked to leave Sharis once. I think the people were acting like they were going to close, but that was bullshit, because they were supposed to be open 24 hours. Assholes.

Have you been hypnotized?:

No.

Are you involved in some kind of treatment program or therapy?:

Not now, no.

When you think of New Zealand, what comes to mind?:

My furriner friends, and Lord of the Rings. Oh, and sheep, and Road Rules (you know, that time they were there? I'm not imagining that, am I?)

Do you play poker?:

I don't know how.

Have you ever gotten inside or behind a waterfall?:

Yes. Multnomah Falls, if nothing else.

Do you appreciate simplicity?:

Sure, why not?

Do you judge others too harshly?:

Sometimes, I'm sure.

Do you know how to sew?:

I have sewn in the past, but it's been a long time.

Do you believe in angels? Ever seen one?:

No, I've never seen one, but I'm on the fence about whether they exist. An agnostic, if you will. After all, how do I know?

Do you donate money to any charities?:

When I can.

Do you have a lifestyle completely different from that of your parents?:

Not completely different, I don't think.

Have you ever retrieved something desirable out of a garbage dumpster?:

Not that I remember.

When was the last time you changed a baby's diaper?:

It's been several years. I'm sure that will change, soon enough. Heh.

Do you like quinoa?:

I have no idea what that is.

Do you avoid aluminum?:

No.

If you could eat only one food daily for the rest of your life and not gain weight, what would it be?:

I wouldn't be able to eat anything else, at all? In that case, cheeseburgers. But if this means I can still eat normally, otherwise, but have one food I can gorge on, I'd pick donuts.

Can you do a handstand?:

Sigh, no.

Have you witnessed a miracle?:

I think existence itself is a miracle.

Does love make you blind?:

In the beginning, at least. Or, well, maybe not blind, but the faults of the other person just don't matter as much to you as they might six months down the road. And you're like so high on the love, you might as well be blind.

Have you ever been hit by the opposite sex?:

Playful punches in the shoulder, yes, but nothing intentionally violent.

Have you ever slept in a hammock?:

Hell yeah. My Dad has had the same hammock, my whole life. But I never slept all night in it, I'd just nap in it.

Brown rice or white rice?:

Um, I can't remember how brown rice tastes. I eat rice all the time, but I never know what kind we're having. My favorite though is herb and butter.

Black, white, or gray? Why?:

Black, because I look good in it, and it's slimming, classic, and goes with lots of things.

Are pregnant women wearing bikinis attractive to you?:

I don't want to boink them, no, but I think pregnant women are beautiful.

It depends. I can have nice handwriting, but when I'm in a hurry, or tired, it gets messy.

At a park would you rather swing or slide?:

Swing.

Does the tip of your nose point up or down more?:

Up.

Name the seven continents.:

North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, Antarctica.

Which ocean is closest to you?:

I live about an hour from the Pacific.

Do you have violent moodswings?:

I get moody, and sometimes I feel so angry that I want to throw something (hi, Mom), but no.

Have you ever buried a time capsule?:

We had to make them for school once.

What makes life worth living?:

Happy memories, and loving relationships.

Spontaneous or plan every detail?:

Plan, baby. I mean, I don't mind spontaneity that much (like, maybe a friend calling me and asking me to do something at the last minute), but if we're going to do something, I prefer it's planned at least somewhat. I don't like winging things.

Do you like the way bodybuilders look?:

Not harcore ones, no. They're gross.

Yeah, I can! Hee. Tigers!

Not personally, but we have them in the kitchen.

What climate is most comfortable for you?:

I suppose the temperate one I live in now. I'm used to it.
