It's A Friday, I Can Waste Time

[tabular_rasa]

1. Hello: My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die. (I put that on every "Hello My Name Is" nametag I get :-P).

2. What the hell are you? An ephemeral physical form within which I hope contains something endlessly more eternal and substantial. I'm feel metaphysical today.

3. What time is it? 2:24 pm CST.

Now that the pleasantries are out of the way . . .

4. When you were five you: Enjoyed life, but also were according to my mother a stubborn, bossy little bitch. (What happened to that? I guess it must have been stamped out of me. I think you pushed too far, guys . . . ).

5. When you were sixteen you were/will be: finally a little more confident in a lot of my beliefs, due to having gone to Japan and meeting some amazing people who weren't all stuck in the shallow Elkhart homogeneity. (Not that all of us were, by any means, but I think it took its toll on all of us, and I needed that little glimpse to the outside).

6. When you were/are/going to be twenty-one you: Will hopefully be in Japan, but therefore will not be that exciting since I'll have been legally able to drink there since I got there.

7. What do you think of that kid who hacked the iPhone and made it available to every phone service instead of just one? I never heard about this. It's one of those things that just always happens, though, I suppose. In a way it's good for the iPhone company to know; now they can fix their glitches.

8. Starbucks: Never been, actually, except to stop in to use the bathroom once in New York City. I do have a $5 gift card I should use there, sometime, though.

9. Memes like this always have the same shit; make up a new, interesting question. A man's wife is dying of a terminal illness. A drug has recently been introduced to the market that can treat this; however, as it has a monopoly on treatment on the market, it is extremely expensive. The man does not have the money to pay for this drug, and he does not have the means to earn, borrow, or other procure it before it will be too late for his wife. He speaks with the drug company, and they refuse to lower the price, for his case or any other. He considers stealing the drug. What should he do? Morality stages, bitches!

10. So. You want to travel, do you? Yeah. I already do, a fair bit. It's a good time.

11. You’re a genie. Look at the person you stole this from and make a guess as to his or her three wishes. I don't know exactly what Katie's specific wishes would be, but I would wish for her: her violin being fixable (and therefore fixed), a few relationships to also fix and heal, and perhaps generally a break in life since I think she gets shafted far more than her share /-:

12. Your thoughts on the latest horror movies that have come out lately? I don't pay attention because I don't watch them.

13. What’s your most precious possession? My mind? (Okay, fine; that's probably cheating). I don't know, probably my stuffed animals at home for pure sentimental value. They're the only things I can think of losing that would be truly devastating besides my story, but that's intangible. As is the Internet.

14. Why is it precious? Sentimental value.

15. What blog service are you using? And if not a blog service, where the hell is this going? Livejournal.

16. Cult classic—The Breakfast Club—which one of the five characters would you most associate yourself with? Mostly Brian but with a bit of Allison.

17. If you were an office supply, what would you be and why? A post-it note, because I am always clinging to you, trying to tell you things which are important and you ought to know, but I'm so easy to just rip off with those things left unheard and therefore undone.

18. Speaking of office supplies, we all steal office supplies—what do you (or would you, if you’ve never worked in an office environment) steal most often? Pencils. I don't like pens all that much, but I am a pencil whore.

19. Would you ever want to be a member of the opposite sex? I wish to be a guy when I am thinking about acting Shakespeare or when I am on my period. That's usually it.

20. You’re a music instrument. What are you? Oboe. Plaintive but sweet, and very distinct.

21. Now what time is it? 3:17 pm CST. I am being slow because I am also talking to my mom.

22. What’s the most annoying gift you receive/have received? In middle school, I would have been find with childish toys like dolls and stuffed animals, but people thought I was too old for that, so I'd usually get the stereotypical over-glittery, over-flowery preteen girl lotions and makeups and things that smelled nast-o-rific on me.

23. Haha! Your mom. Ha! Yeah, I'm talking to her, so what?

24. This is a 25 question questionnaire.< So. Should it be longer? It does skip all the obligatory and dumb questions. This was a good length for my purposes today; I congratulate you.

25. Whatever question you came up with in number 9—ask yourself and answer it here. The man should steal it, give it to his wife, and with an explanation to the druggist accept the punishment given him accordingly. His wife's life is worth the jail time.
