My general philosophy with food is that if it's eaten somewhere, there must be some merit to it. I'll try anything-- just don't tell me what it is beforehand. (That way I can decide if I like it or not first :-P). The only other thing I considering crossing off-- besides the one thing I DID cross off-- was roadkill, but if I was starving I'm pretty sure I'd look into it. But I wouldn't look into a Hostess Fruit Pie, because it's mushy fruit, which is the devil. (And, um, can I just say that it looks like a Period in a Pie Crust?).

Have you ever made a mistake?: What the fuck . . . Who hasn't made a mistake? You're lying if you say no.
Are you a good tipper?: I suppose I'm about average. How well I tip depends so much more on the cash I have on hand than how I feel about the service, I'm ashamed to say, lol.
What's the most you have spent for a haircut?: I don't know, definitely under $50.
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher?: No.

What are your plans for the future?: Finishing my honors thesis, student teaching, graduating . . . publishing a book.
Do you walk around the house naked?: No, but I exercise and sometimes go on the computer in my underwear. You try doing sit-ups in jeans.
If you were an animal what would you be?: A loon, or another duck-like creature. I decided this when I was very little, because they get to fly and walk and swim. Also loons are very cool. LOOOOOOON.
Hair color you like on someone you're dating?: I prefer dark hair, but definitely not a deal-breaker.
Would you rather be blind or deaf?: This is so hard. Can't I just lose my sense of taste, or something?
Do you have any special talents?: What's a special talent? I'm good at a lot of things, some things I've had to work at, and some things which I haven't.
What do you do as soon as you walk in the house?: You mean my dorm room? Usually put down what I'm carrying, possibly pee, then go on the computer and check stuff.
Do you like horror or comedy?: Comedy.
Are you missing anyone?: My family.
If you weren't straight, what person of the same sex would you do?: (What do non-straight people do when they take this survey?). I don't know. My attractions would be different, so I suppose I can't realize this right now.
Where do you want to live when you are old?: Someplace peaceful and sentimental, but near the people I care about.

Non alcoholic drink?: Calpis or milk. (Ooh, which reminds me, Calpis sour has got to go on the list above!).
Have you ever been in love?: Sure.
Do you sing in the shower?: Sometimes.
Have you ever been arrested?: No.
What is your favorite Holiday?: Christmas, Easter, and Tanabata.
Would you ever get plastic surgery?: Possibly. I'd definitely get it if I got in some scarring accident. I don't like the idea of implants of any sort, but might consider removing extra bits of stuff. Also, if something existed to remove stretch marks, that would be great, because after the big to-Japan-and-back yo-yo my upper thighs and butt look like jello that's been mashed with a spoon.
Have you ever caught a fish?: Yes. I was pretty little, the first time. It was a sunfish. I was so very proud.
Your result for Reincarnation Placement Exam...
Gypsy Camp
You sing! You dance! You flee from the authorities!
You were a bit difficult to place, because you like civilization and humanity -- but when it comes to work, you don't really fit into the system, the ruts and the rituals, that modern civilization embraces. You like your own ways... your old ways.
We've placed you among a hardy Gypsy family. They'll have you plucking a violin before you can talk, and dancing before you can walk. The road is your home, and your horses are members of your family. You get to wear lots of shiny things.
We expect that you'll have a good life. Even if your people are surrounded by a world where they don't really fit in, they have each other, an oasis of compatibility in an unbalanced world. We know you'll make the most of it!
