A lot. I'm always some shade of tired.

775. Who are the most inspiring artists, musicians, poets, and writers?
All of them. Keep living the creative dream, whether i like your work or no.
776. Did anything historically significant happen in the year you were born?
A quick poke into Wikipedia reveals lots of civil unrest in various bits of the world, but the two bits that caught my attention/amused me were the birth of Louise Brown (the first person to be conceived via IVF and brought to term successfully) and the fact that a week after my birthday Jimmy Carter made it legal to homebrew beer, which directly impacts me becausecell23 occasionally makes alcohol related SCIENCE happen in the kitchen.

781. Do you feel that the appropriate age for girls and for boys is different?
The age is different for everyone.
782. Are you a hard person to get to know?
Get to know, no. Get to know well aside from random trivia? Depends.
783. What is the craziest thing you have ever done out of anger?
I got real pissed at my parents as a teenager, so i programmed every programmable device we had in the house at the time (alarm clocks, stereos and TVs) to go off at max volume at 4am, then went to bed with earplugs. This was the early 90s, so my parents frantically calling Stanley (who is an electrician) about "some kind of electrical short in the house" was a perfectly reasonable response, being that programming electronic devices wasn't so commonplace, and you were considered some sort of technological voodoo priestess if you could figure out how to get the VCR to start and stop at specified times without actually being there to push the buttons.
Stanley, to his credit, didn't rat me out, even though he knew exactly what happened. I'm sure he said something soothing about century old wiring and maybe not plugging so many things into one outlet.
784. What's the MOST annoying sound you can think of?
Tests of the emergency broadcast system.
785. What's the silliest vegetable you can think of?
Kumquats. Oh wait, those are fruits. Um... Potatoes?
Yeah, definitely potatoes.
786. Do you believe in love at first sight?
I believe in brain soaked in enough dopamine to kill a horse at first sight. It's not exactly love though. More like hormone fuelled temporary insanity.
787. Name one thing you have referred to in the past as "better than sex":
Some sort of food item, no doubt, but i didn't mean it. Sex is pretty awesome.
788. What do you see when you turn out the light?
Afterimages of the room i'm in, followed by faint rainbow static.
789. Do you like jazz, blues and/or swing music?
Yes.
790. Do you prefer gold or silver jewelry?
Gold looks better on me but i prefer silver.
791. In what ways do you want your children to be like you?
I want them to be resourceful, levelheaded in a crisis, and self-entertaining/-sufficient.
792. In what ways would you want your children to be different from you?
I want them to be able to competently drive, manage money/credit/time, cook, do laundry and hold a job by the time they graduate high school. It sucks having to learn all that during/after college, and in some cases not knowing how will bite you in the ass later in life.
793. What was the scariest movie you've ever seen?
Scary movies are just fun to me. I've had a few books keep me up at night though. Kindred, Christine and Jurassic Park come to mind.
794. What was the funniest movie you've ever seen?
Still a sucker for Blazing Saddles and Coming to America.
795. What was the worst movie you've ever seen?
Most of the terrible movies i end up seeing usually have something about them that redeems them or at least loops it back into "so bad it's good" territory. A notable exception to this would be The Blair Witch Project, and possibly Wendigo.
796. Are you a good massage-giver?
When i want to be.
797. What is one question that no one can ever truthfully answer 'yes' to?
Are you 100% satisfied with yourself and your life?
798. Is there more to this world than human beings can perceive?
Sure.
799. If matter is neither created nor destroyed then is it possible that you are made up of molecules that once made up Ghandi or Jesus or Einstein?
The real question is do i really care?
800. Are you often sarcastic?
Sarcasm? Me? Nooooooo. Cant possibly be.
Need to do a catchup post at some point, but right now all I want is a hot shower and bed.
Something I call "Diabetes": Rum. Coke. enough grenadine to make it a very dark red rather than cola colored, LOTS of cherries. At least five of them.
That or Licor43 and orange juice. I like my booze sweet and deadly.
702. When answering these questions are you often pulled in different directions, as if committing to one answer eliminates the possibility for all others?
It's more of a "do I want to answer that publicly?" sort of reaction.
703. Chicken Mesala, Pasta Primavera, Veal Cutlet Parmesan or Linguini with Clam Sauce?
Pfff. Chicken Carbonara. Because fancy bacon and butter.
704. If you were alone in your friend's house/room/apartment would you look in their drawers and notebooks?
No. Medicine cabinets, though...
705. What would you really like to do but you don't because you are afraid of getting caught?

Zero, because i will murder all of them in the face. Bazinga this, assholes.
766. Do you like the movie The Labyrinth with David Bowie and some muppets?
No "The" in the title, and try Jim Henson's creature shop with David Bowie. Come on now.
767. Do you like the movie The Dark Crystal?
Yes.
768. Metallica or Guns N' Roses?
They both suck now.
769. Do you follow the Chinese zodiac?
Idly? Couldn't tell you what year it was though. Oh wait, it's the Dragon for three more days. Then it's the Snake. Bless Wikipedia.
770. Do you like reggae music?
Yes.
771. What makes your life worth it every day?
People I love. Also cats.
772. Do you seize each day and sink your teeth into it?
No, but i should.
773. I've heard people say that Jim Morrison never yawned because he was just so full of life. How often do you yawn?
A lot. I'm always some shade of tired.
774. Who decides what behavior is 'crazy' or 'sane'?
Unsure if this is the time or the entry to discuss normalcy, neurotypical vs not and ablism. Nope, definitely not. Too tired.
775. Who are the most inspiring artists, musicians, poets, and writers?
All of them. Keep living the creative dream, whether i like your work or no.
776. Did anything historically significant happen in the year you were born?
A quick poke into Wikipedia reveals lots of civil unrest in various bits of the world, but the two bits that caught my attention/amused me were the birth of Louise Brown (the first person to be conceived via IVF and brought to term successfully) and the fact that a week after my birthday Jimmy Carter made it legal to homebrew beer, which directly impacts me because
cell23 occasionally makes alcohol related SCIENCE happen in the kitchen.777. Besides blowing out birthday candles when do you make wishes?
I'll admit, shooting stars still get me. Even if i know they're probably just iridium flares, i still wish.
778. Are you self-sufficient?
Trying... *sigh*
779. Is it better to be wanted or needed?
Wanted definitely. Needed can be nice sometimes too, but is a more fertile breeding ground for resentment.
780. What do you feel is an appropriate age to lose one's virginity at?
Whenever one's ready to deal with it?
781. Do you feel that the appropriate age for girls and for boys is different?
The age is different for everyone.
782. Are you a hard person to get to know?
Get to know, no. Get to know well aside from random trivia? Depends.
783. What is the craziest thing you have ever done out of anger?
I got real pissed at my parents as a teenager, so i programmed every programmable device we had in the house at the time (alarm clocks, stereos and TVs) to go off at max volume at 4am, then went to bed with earplugs. This was the early 90s, so my parents frantically calling Stanley (who is an electrician) about "some kind of electrical short in the house" was a perfectly reasonable response, being that programming electronic devices wasn't so commonplace, and you were considered some sort of technological voodoo priestess if you could figure out how to get the VCR to start and stop at specified times without actually being there to push the buttons.
Stanley, to his credit, didn't rat me out, even though he knew exactly what happened. I'm sure he said something soothing about century old wiring and maybe not plugging so many things into one outlet.
784. What's the MOST annoying sound you can think of?
Tests of the emergency broadcast system.
785. What's the silliest vegetable you can think of?
Kumquats. Oh wait, those are fruits. Um... Potatoes?
Yeah, definitely potatoes.
786. Do you believe in love at first sight?
I believe in brain soaked in enough dopamine to kill a horse at first sight. It's not exactly love though. More like hormone fuelled temporary insanity.
787. Name one thing you have referred to in the past as "better than sex":
Some sort of food item, no doubt, but i didn't mean it. Sex is pretty awesome.
788. What do you see when you turn out the light?
Afterimages of the room i'm in, followed by faint rainbow static.
789. Do you like jazz, blues and/or swing music?
Yes.
790. Do you prefer gold or silver jewelry?
Gold looks better on me but i prefer silver.
791. In what ways do you want your children to be like you?
I want them to be resourceful, levelheaded in a crisis, and self-entertaining/-sufficient.
792. In what ways would you want your children to be different from you?
I want them to be able to competently drive, manage money/credit/time, cook, do laundry and hold a job by the time they graduate high school. It sucks having to learn all that during/after college, and in some cases not knowing how will bite you in the ass later in life.
793. What was the scariest movie you've ever seen?
Scary movies are just fun to me. I've had a few books keep me up at night though. Kindred, Christine and Jurassic Park come to mind.
794. What was the funniest movie you've ever seen?
Still a sucker for Blazing Saddles and Coming to America.
795. What was the worst movie you've ever seen?
Most of the terrible movies i end up seeing usually have something about them that redeems them or at least loops it back into "so bad it's good" territory. A notable exception to this would be The Blair Witch Project, and possibly Wendigo.
796. Are you a good massage-giver?
When i want to be.
797. What is one question that no one can ever truthfully answer 'yes' to?
Are you 100% satisfied with yourself and your life?
798. Is there more to this world than human beings can perceive?
Sure.
799. If matter is neither created nor destroyed then is it possible that you are made up of molecules that once made up Ghandi or Jesus or Einstein?
The real question is do i really care?
800. Are you often sarcastic?
Sarcasm? Me? Nooooooo. Cant possibly be.
Need to do a catchup post at some point, but right now all I want is a hot shower and bed.
