The 5000 Question Survey 2.0 part 4

[stonebender]

151. What is louder and more annoying: 200 adults talking or one four-year-old screaming?

I don't really find loudness annoying. I suppose the four year old would be louder and more annoying only because I'd want to know why the kid was screaming.

152. Do you believe the stories about planes, boats and people mysteriously disappearing into the Bermuda triangle?

No.

I'm not jealous right now.

Sex!

Not much anymore.

Basic theater acting skills.

158. Have you ever had a spiritual experience (an experience that cannot be explained by science)?

161. Would you still love and stay with your significant other if he or she had to have a breast or testicle removed?

Of course I would.

162. Do you believe in fate or free will?

I don't see much point in believing in fate. I would prefer to believe that I can affect my life by my own decisions and actions.

163. Do you believe that only boring people get bored?

I hope not. I get bored more than I like to.

Isn't this question 162 reiterated? Anyway I know life can change. My life is always changing.

I don't particularly want to get any more disabled. I don't want to get any poorer. I'm not sure my concerns rise to a fear, but there you go.

I've only worked in a factory and an office.

169. What's the coolest job you ever had?

Well, potentially the Americans with Disability Act consultant job I had, but the boss from hell killed that idea. Actually, I remember now. My coolest job was providing content for a mock presidential election done online. I got to make up news stories, problems for the candidates to react to or solve. I wish that that had been continuing job.

170. What is one central idea that your thoughts seem to come back to?

Huh?

Very much so, I've been an actor.

172. If you had the power to control one person and make this person do anything you wanted for a whole day, who would you pick and what would they do?

How about President Bush? I'd see if I could undo any of the crap he's done.

173. What star sign are you and what is your sign like?

Pisces, I don't know what we're like.

174. Did the Blair Witch Project scare you?

184. What's the best cheesy 80's song?

I'm not sure I know what the questioner means by cheesy. I like a lot of 80s music. How about Love Shack by the B-52s? I don't think it's cheesy, but it is an 80s song.

185. What's the best kind of movie to see on a date?

One your date likes.

186. Do you like to sit in the front, middle or back of the Movie Theater?

Yes, I lived in an abandoned house for awhile.

188. Under what circumstances would you agree to work for free?

I work for free most of the time.

They are better than many book to movie adaptations, but I know people disagree with me. There are some major changes from the books to the movies, but I still really enjoy them.

191. When you see a stranger on the street does your first reaction lean towards thinking of this person as a potential friend or as a potential threat?

It sort of depends, generally I like to think of people as potential friends, but I know under certain circumstances I might think of strangers as potential threats first

192. Is it natural for human beings to fear and distrust each other, or is it cultural?

I think it's more of a natural phenomenon than a cultural one.

193. What do you really want to buy?

if we're talking pie in the sky, a house similar to the one I have, but nearer serenejournal or more likely, I'd like to buy the West Wing DVDs I don't already have.

194. You have to choose. Would you be happier marrying someone rich for their money or living in the streets and subway tunnels with someone you love?

Well, being poly I get to cheat this question by saying I'd marry the rich one and keep the person I love. :-) okay really, money isn't a consideration in who I marry. Not that I'm really interested in getting married.

195. If someone wanted to understand you what book could they read that would help?

Feel free to begin rolling your eyes, Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein

196. Do you think it’s odd that Americans have freedom of religion and yet call themselves 'one nation under god'?

No.

No.
