caterpillar, house dog, wild dog, vulture, male human, female human, oak tree, rock, manta ray, dolphin
The only remotely intriguing items on that list to me would be a male human (just as a contrast) or a dolphin. Mostly my idea of heaven would be to reincarnated as a house cat.
202. What do you feel unworthy of?
A lot of the blessings I can count. But I have people to tell me to shut up and that I deserve them.
203. Would you rather be remembered for having done something for humanity or being a really nice person?
At this point I'm worried about being remembered at all, as I will likely have no direct descendants. Which is kinda why I wanna get at least one book out there.
204. Which do you value more: science or intuition?
As a benefit to humanity? Science. As a benefit to me personally? actually yeah science too. Just thinking of The Year of Medical Horror.
205. Your best friend and your significant other are in the hospital at the same time with the same ailment. Who do you visit first?
Really?
Okay in the event that this does happen, I would take the elevator to the highest floor I have people at, and work my way down.
206. Does the universe revolve around human beings?
As I understand it, the universe revolves around Miss Piggy. You try telling her otherwise.
207. If you are no longer a virgin, do you wish you still were?

208. Who is your favorite poet of those who are alive right now?
Rather partial to Maya Angelou.
209. What is your favorite song from the 90's?

"So what are you doing these days?"
"Professional killer."
"Oh. You get dental with that?"
-- Grosse Pointe Blank
216. What's your favorite video game?
Every so often I find myself sucked back into either WoW or SimCity. Also like Rock Band. And Super Castlevania IV will always have a special place in my heart.
217. Have you ever taken something that wasn't yours?
Mmmhmm.
218. What is one phrase people say that irritates you?
Besides YOLO, phrases don't irritate me as much as certain buzzwords. Carbs. Froyo. Webinar. Blog. Staycation.
219. You allow strangers to read your diary, but would you let your parents read it?
Thankfully not something I ever really have to worry about.
220. Hot steamy bubble bath or quick in and out shower?
I'm a scalding-hot shower girl these days.

Tree sex, and theoretically dairy, but I don't let that get between me and my milkshakes.
222. What is your favorite Terminator movie?
Duh, the second one.
223. What is your favorite fast food?
My go to comfort junk food are McDonalds chicken McNuggets. Otherwise... I'll agree with Matt, Five Guys burgers are the shit.
(Amusing note, I typoed Five Goys initially. Wonder what THAT restaurant would be like?)
224. What would someone have to do to get you to never speak to him or her again?
It takes a LOT to get on my shit list. Any sort of throwing me under the bus to make yourself look good or to get ahead somehow is a big one, and I think if anyone laid a hand on the two wee folk I'm partially responsible for there's be some knocking people out with a bat, waking up in a dark room hung upside down while I come up with creative demises.
225. Would (or have) you ever whip someone or be whipped by someone in bed?
Never again in a room with a low ceiling clearance. There's a story about a shattered light fixture that I will save for another time.

Yeah. Humanity frustrates me on occasion, including my nearest and dearest.

No. I can't imagine those things are very healthy though.
229. Did it live more than a week?
See above.
230. What's the best sounding accent a person can have?
I find accents and patterns of speech that differ from my own fascinating and in some instances, sexy. Rather partial to Scottish and Russian ones myself. A "Tick" Caribbean twang makes me incredibly homesick.
231. What's the most boring thing you've ever read?
The Lord of the Rings. Well no, if I had to be completely honest, that insurance training manual I had to complete for my job was dry as the Sahara on a sunny summer day.
232. Do you prefer buttons or touch screens?
they each are good for different applications. Anything involving typing I like the tactile feedback of an actual keyboard.
233. Do you think there is a lot of similarity between the Harry Potter books and the Lord of the Rings series?
Not really, no.
234. Would you consider yourself to be naive?

grinninfoole) but I'm trying to correct this.
235. Which of your friends is most likely to go to jail?
I have friends and family that have been. *shrug*
236. What is the smallest amount of money that could be in a public toilet that would make you reach in and grab it?
Depends what is actually in the toilet. Pee, maybe a couple of C notes. Bloody diarrhoea infested with blowfly larvae? Significantly more.
237. Would you ever wear real fur?
I have before. Not generally my thing, but I do have a coat trimmed in yak hair and I do love the shit out of it. It's on the same level as wearing leather for me.
238. Arachnophobia or Eight Legged Freaks?
Seen both. Spiders don't bother me.
239. What are your feelings about police officers?
lizard brain level terror. On a case by case basis, occasional arousal. (I like uniforms.)
240. What is your favorite line from a song?
You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan

244. What's your middle name?
Rasheeda.
245. What is the absolute limit, the craziest thing you would do for a million dollars?

246. Are you good, evil or neutral?
chaotic neutral.
247. Should ebonics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebonics) be considered a language?
Pretty sure African American Vernacular English has already been classified officially as a dialect. Fuck the racist couch that is this question.

Something warm... maybe a pale rust?
249. When are you planning to move to a new home?
When finances and credit rating allow. We're gonna be here awhile.
250. If you added up the cost of everything in the room with you, approximately what would it come out to be?
The current value of the stuff in here is pretty laughable considering the original costs. But if we went with original price tags, it would be just shy of five 5 digits. Mostly because I don't want to think about how much Dad shelled out for EPEEN originally. (To give you some idea, she was a top line custom built gaming beast in 2005, and she still ain't shabby eight years later.)
251. Do you blow your nose in public?
With a tissue.
252. Do you want to follow in your parent's footsteps?
Maybe in terms of stubbornly carving out ones own path in life.
253. What is the coolest web site you know of?
Man, I don't know. I think "cool web sites" have given way to things constructed for maximum share-ablity on social networks and/or Reddit, there aren't many cool for coolness sake things out there anymore.
254. Which cartoon would you most like to see turned into a movie?
Again, with Matt. Can we have more original movies?

I would like to think fair-minded and helpful. I know I can be generous.
256. Can you eat with chopsticks?
Quite competently.
257. Could you tell real money from counterfeit?
I know what to look for on big bills, otherwise I honestly don't care enough.
258. What do you think about school uniforms?
eh. I never had to wear one. Don't have much of an opinion one way or another. Sometimes they're cute?
259. What ancient civilization would you most like to visit?
We're watching Rome again. I'd be okay with visiting there.
260. What would make a great new Crayola color?
Puce. Just so I'd finally be sure what the hell color it actually is.
261. If an art project is created with the intent of getting rich and famous, does that cast doubt over its significance as a work of art?
Well, I suppose the degree in which the project is successful at the stated goal could lend poignancy to it...
262. If you became president, whom would you invite to sing at your inauguration?
Aretha, but only if she wore The Hat again and brought me one too.
263. Who is the greatest philosopher of your country?
No idea.

Shhh - if you point it out like that the collective fiction that is humanity's concept of money may collapse!

Depends. Then as now, sometimes all it takes is a bag of M&Ms.
266. Who knows more...you, or your parents?
I don't know about more. Different, hell yes.
267. What instrument would you like to be famous for playing?
Tesla Coil.
268. Children fill their lungs completely with air. Adults breathe in a more shallow way, not filling their lungs completely. Why the change?
Adults do all sorts of silly things that ultimately are not good for them.
269. Would you have sex with a stranger for one million dollars?
Up front, sure.
270. Are you completely in control of your body?
Have you met my intestines lately?
Are you completely in control of your mind?
No, which I find infuriating. Hormones, man.
271. Which is more romantic: an expensive, glittering bouquet OR flowers that were hand picked as they grew beside the parkway?
Each has their place, and either would be appreciated and squeed over because the point was, someone thought of me enough to give me something.
272. Do you know yourself well enough to understand why you feel the way you do?
Whoa. I can actually say yes to this question? That's new.
273. Which do you do more often: let movies, songs and books put your feelings into words for you or put your feelings into words by yourself?
A mix of both.
274. Do you believe celebrities when they are endorsing a product?
*rolleyes*
275. What kind of movies do you wish were made more often?
straight up fantasy movies not based on anything else. Or at least based on something really obscure and maybe German. Reminds me, it's been a long while since i've seen The Neverending stoooooooooooooooooryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy la la la la la la la la la...
276. Does fashion matter to you?
Nope. I'm a t-shirt and slacks girl.
277. Should politicians be held to the same legal standards as everyone else?
Why the hell shouldn't they? they're people and citizens too, right?

Procrastination, schadenfreude and mostly benign mischief.
279. Should parents spank their kids?
No, but they should still find an effective method of discipline and employ that.
280. What is your worst daily habit?
Reddit. Wait, what?
281. If you had your choice which one TV show would you have canceled?
Well, Jersey Shore is already in its last season. Really, all reality TV is shit.
282. Do you like the taste of sweet or salt?
Either. Or. Both.
283. Are you very precise about what words you use to describe your feelings and thoughts?
No? but I find they come out easier when I write them as opposed to speak them.
284. What do you feel the most guilty about?
Being completely absent during two family crises during the 00s.
285. Do you meditate?
No, but when I do, I feel better.
286. Can dreams be visions, or do you feel they are always random images?
for the most part, random images.

I try but it never comes out that way.
288. The thief _______ that everyone steals. What verb would you fill in the blank with?
thinks
289. What's the most incredible experience you ever had?
It's not a good experience, but I'm still boggled by that week and a half in the hospital after InstestineSplode 2008. The amount of drugs they hop you up on after majorly messing with your innards plus all the weird tubes and shit you get hooked up to makes for a whole lot of surreal. And you end up with a greater appreciation for Frieda Kahlo's artwork. Morphine is a hell of a drug.
290. Are you ever afraid to write/say/think how you feel?
Think, no. Express it where someone else can read/hear it? *wibble*
291. Do you write/say/think it anyway or become intimidated and try to avoid it?
Depends on what it is. There are filters for that sort of thing usually. And when even the filters are too visible, the locked up tight journal.
292. What is one thing you can't do?
Eat a pot full of steamed kale. Mmm, how about all the vitamin K, the better to give me a fatal stroke with my dear?
293. Do you like movies starring Charlton Heston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleton_Heston)?
A few here and there. I enjoyed Soylent Green, and Ben Hur and the Ten Commandments, but admittedly that last one I was more here for all the Yul Brynner. That man was made of sexy bald, or maybe just bald sex. May have also kindled my Russophilia.
294. Are you gentle?
Not according to OKCupid. My profile has had the word "Brutal" attached to it for years now which is funny because when I first took the test a decade ago (yes, I've had an account that long, bite me) I scored The Peach.
295. When do you feel the most raw and vulnerable?
More often than I'd like.
296. Are you trying to find yourself?

I usually start with under the bed and the closets.
298. Are you sometimes afraid of being honest because you are afraid of hurting people's feelings?
Primary reason for dissembling, usually.
299. What would make you a stronger person?
dedicated weight training. Also an adamantium skeleton.
300. What book would you like to read sometime soon?
For lack of a better term, my reading list is shelved until further notice.
I had a pleasant, if frustratingly unproductive day off - my ambition was the get the house cleaned, but all I managed was picking up our room, the laundry, running through two loads in the dishwasher, returning all the deposit bottles and making a rather delicious dinner for
cell23 and I. I also went to lunch with
grinninfoole, which is always pleasant; I enjoy our "so... where are you on that whole road to self-improvement?" checkpoints over food.
Okay when you write it out today wasn't so much the Day of Ignoble Sloth, but it certainly felt like it. And I'm kinda mad I missed ALL the inauguration coverage, but that's what The Internet and youtube are for.
Back to the insurance salt mines tomorrow, whee.
caterpillar, house dog, wild dog, vulture, male human, female human, oak tree, rock, manta ray, dolphin

At this point I'm worried about being remembered at all, as I will likely have no direct descendants. Which is kinda why I wanna get at least one book out there.
204. Which do you value more: science or intuition?
As a benefit to humanity? Science. As a benefit to me personally? actually yeah science too. Just thinking of The Year of Medical Horror.

No, but when I do, I feel better.
286. Can dreams be visions, or do you feel they are always random images?
for the most part, random images.
287. Do you try to write/say what you are feeling in a true and simple way?
I try but it never comes out that way.
288. The thief _______ that everyone steals. What verb would you fill in the blank with?
thinks
289. What's the most incredible experience you ever had?
It's not a good experience, but I'm still boggled by that week and a half in the hospital after InstestineSplode 2008. The amount of drugs they hop you up on after majorly messing with your innards plus all the weird tubes and shit you get hooked up to makes for a whole lot of surreal. And you end up with a greater appreciation for Frieda Kahlo's artwork. Morphine is a hell of a drug.
290. Are you ever afraid to write/say/think how you feel?
Think, no. Express it where someone else can read/hear it? *wibble*
291. Do you write/say/think it anyway or become intimidated and try to avoid it?
Depends on what it is. There are filters for that sort of thing usually. And when even the filters are too visible, the locked up tight journal.
292. What is one thing you can't do?
Eat a pot full of steamed kale. Mmm, how about all the vitamin K, the better to give me a fatal stroke with my dear?
293. Do you like movies starring Charlton Heston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleton_Heston)?
A few here and there. I enjoyed Soylent Green, and Ben Hur and the Ten Commandments, but admittedly that last one I was more here for all the Yul Brynner. That man was made of sexy bald, or maybe just bald sex. May have also kindled my Russophilia.
294. Are you gentle?
Not according to OKCupid. My profile has had the word "Brutal" attached to it for years now which is funny because when I first took the test a decade ago (yes, I've had an account that long, bite me) I scored The Peach.
295. When do you feel the most raw and vulnerable?
More often than I'd like.
296. Are you trying to find yourself?
Nah, I've found myself. I just don't know what to do with the damn thing now that I have.
297. Where are you looking?
I usually start with under the bed and the closets.
298. Are you sometimes afraid of being honest because you are afraid of hurting people's feelings?
Primary reason for dissembling, usually.
299. What would make you a stronger person?
dedicated weight training. Also an adamantium skeleton.
300. What book would you like to read sometime soon?
For lack of a better term, my reading list is shelved until further notice.
I had a pleasant, if frustratingly unproductive day off - my ambition was the get the house cleaned, but all I managed was picking up our room, the laundry, running through two loads in the dishwasher, returning all the deposit bottles and making a rather delicious dinner for
Okay when you write it out today wasn't so much the Day of Ignoble Sloth, but it certainly felt like it. And I'm kinda mad I missed ALL the inauguration coverage, but that's what The Internet and youtube are for.
Back to the insurance salt mines tomorrow, whee.
