Random Survey

I recently posted this elsewhere in November of 2005. I don’t think it got the publicity it deserved. Hey, I’ve created a category called “Surveys” that you can find all my silly surveys on. Practical, yes? Anyways, enjoy. =D

1. Are you wearing shoes? I’m barefoot. But that doesn’t mean my feet don’t have feelings.

2. Whats the third letter in your name? I’m not falling for that one again. Last time I answered that I somehow ended up slapping myself.

3. How old is your pet(s)? It’s hard to tell, Scooby’s always lying about his age.

4. What color is your underwear? I’m not going to lie. It’s black, like my teeth.

5. Are you sick? Yo momma.

6. Are you in school? No, but I schooled yo’ momma! Ohhhhh!

7. Is the bathroom open? Yeah, but it’s one of those self-service bathrooms. Ah, to live in the Fifties…

8. Are you on a laptop? No. I’ve made a vow to only sit on chairs.

9. Are you watching MTV? What gave you that impression? Was it my sideburns?

10. Are you smiling? I’d say it’s more like a grimace.

11. Do you have on eyeliner? Nevermind, now I know how you figured out the MTV thing.

12. Is it early? 8:47pm. I could really go for some eggs and pancakes.

13. Are you blonde? Time to settle this once and for all. Ahem… Yo’ Momma.

14. Do you have a myspace? I don’t believe in myspace. It’s make-believe. Like unicorns and unibrows.

15. Are you in high school? Only for the milk. I miss my Velda Farm lunches.

16. Are you in love with your boyfriend/girlfriend? She’s in love with me. But don’t tell her I said that because she’ll start nagging me to death. And then we start arguing and arguing. Oh wait I’ve been single for 6 years.

17. Name three of your friends: Curly, Larry, and (you guessed it) Mortimer.

18. Biceps or Bicycles? Gotta go with Bicycles on this one, Trebek.

19. What color is your bathing suit? Mine is clear. That explains the single thing.

20. Does your school start in August? Does a bear crap in the woods? Didn’t think so.

21. Did you go on vacation last month? I called in sick on Valentines once. Wait, what was the question?

22. Have you ever been on a cruise? Let’s cut the small talk, shall we? I’ll dance with you.

23. Do you have a sister? I have two female cats. That pretty much equates the ego of one older sister.

24. Are you upstairs? Did you just call me dumb?

26. Do you have a friend named ralph? Yes. You can’t see him but he commands me to hurt people. And to double dip.

27. Does your name end with a Y? Oooh. So close. It ends with an ñ.

28. What’s your middle name? Xavier, thanks to Kristel.

29. Are your ears pierced? My left ear is pierced. And so is my left heart. You heard me.

30. Do you own a digital camera? Yeah, but the LCD screen just broke. Darn circus midgets.

31. Do you live in Florida? What kind of racist question is that?

32. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? I wish. Nobody nags me anymore.

33. Ever had sushi? Mmmm… Bagel Tempura Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, Rock N Roll, Fruit Roll Ups, Roller Blades, Rolodex…

34. Are you listening to rock? If Emo is considered rock, then no. I’m listening to boys crying to acoustic guitar.

35. What color is your chair? Dark Grey. Whew, that was a hard one.

36. Where do you get your pants? It was a two-for-one sale at whocares.com

37. Chocolate or Puppies? They’re both delicious with pie.

38. Have you dyed your hair red? Only with the blood of hobos.

41. Are you an idiot? Do I get multiple choices?

42. Do you like being in a relationship with the one you love? A wise man once said that Love unites us all. He’s sleeping with the fishes now.

45. Is Alcohol Bad for the Soul? It’s bad for the breath.

46. Are you bored? Again with the multiple choice questions!

47. What time is it? 9:13pm. Where’s my breakfast, woman!

48. What’s your last regret? Uribe. Wait, what?

50. How many kids would u like? For breakfast?

The Countdown Begins

writersblock

Holy Crap! I only have the rest of the night to finish my term paper! What in the world am I doing writing in my journal?

Wasting time, of course. And testing my new photo feature. Wow. I’m loving this stuff. Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to switch over to Wordpress. Alright. Now I really need to go and finish my stupid term paper. Dangit.

Last Bit of Work

Seeing how I spent the entire weekend working on my site, I didn’t really make an effort to advance my term paper. It’s due in two days and I still have quite a bit of editing to do. I feel a little at ease knowing that I don’t have to wake up at 5:30 in the morning for a long time, though. So there’s my bright side.

And now I’m off to finish the term paper as much as I can.

Sketchism Is Back!

After a few days, perhaps weeks, of not putting my thoughts into words, I finally started to go a little nuts. It’s amazing how therapeutic writing is for me. I’ve completely switched blogging tools from Moveable Type to Wordpress. Moveable Type just became too overwhelming and confusing. I’ve spent my easter weekend trying to give Sketchism a simple facelift and now it’s finally done. I understand CSS a little better and I’m starting to get Wordpress by the minute. It’s good to be back.

There are a lot of things I will be tweaking and adding here in my new home. If you have any suggestions, feel free to drop some love. I have a new commenting system too! Woot woot.

Ciao, Gena

For the past week, my family has been worried that something had happened to our cat Gena. She hasn’t returned home. Our initial thought was that the cat was upset that we had a new pet in the house, a puppy. She’s been known to be upset and go off for a few days. I’ve spent the last few nights in the driveway calling out her name with a hope to see her trotting back to me as she always did when she heard her name or heard me tap the tin can of cat food. It’s rare that she hasn’t been back yet. I’ve even spent the last few nights praying that she would return. As I’m writing this, I remember a dream I had two nights ago that she never came back and I woke up feeling heartbroken.

Well this morning as I was heading out of the house at 6:20, I heard my parents’ door open. My dad came out to wish me a good day but I noticed his eyes were watery. I naturally figured that he had just woken up. He then told me that he and Mom found Gena dead on the other side of our backyard yesterday. I couldn’t quite get the details I was looking for. I’m not sure if she was attacked or if she got hit by a car or something. He just said that he found her on the other side of the wall that seperates our house from Pembroke Road.

We hugged. I wasn’t quite ready to hear the news this early in the morning as I was prepared to start a new day. I haven’t felt this sad in a while. It probably seems really silly to feel such heartache over the loss of a pet, but she’s been a part of the family for almost 10 years. Losing pets is the closest I’ve ever gotten to losing a friend or family member. I don’t know what it’s like to lose someone really dear to me, and I dread having to experience this kind of confusion and strange sense of guilt.

Gena was an awesome cat. It sucks to know she’s not going to be home anymore.
