Shannon recently posted some survey answers that Brett had given, and a lot of the answers were from a survey I'd written a long time ago, in response to all the other surveys out there that all asked the same questions. So of course after reading her post I remembered how brilliant my survey had been and that I should fill it out again and post it on my blog. First though, I had to find it. I no longer had it in my hotmail account, and neither did Brett, so I asked Shannon to send it to me, but she hasn't (oh my God I just spilled cold Pepsi in my lap...cold cold cold...) so anyway, she hasn't yet, so I searched my femputer and found it there in old archives of saved mail. when I searched for it I found ANOTHER survey too though, so I'm going to fill out both. I originally filled out the first one on Nov. 14th of 2001, and for retro-Cat amusement, I've decided to leave those answers and write my responses next to them. The second survey is the one *I* wrote, filled out with new answers only. So here goes...
SURVEY No. 1
1. What time is it? 9:27am weird...it's 9:52am now...
2. Name as it appears on your birth certificate: Catherine Lynn Cates yep...hasn't changed...
3. Nickname: Cat, Catmo, Catema, Catbones, Catfish, Cats, Kitty, etc. I don't really get Catmo or Catema anymore, but I do get Cat Wifeh...that's newer...
4.Parents Names: Joan Tate Allen, Brian Allen, Marc Laurence Cates, Dana Reed Cates, Arthur [something] Jackson, Roberta [something] Jackson Crap...I still don't know their middle names...
5. Number of candles that appeared on your last birthday cake: 23 26. ugh.
6.Date that you regularly blow them out? My birthday is on May 24th, but I haven't blown out candles in a long time I don't think...did we do that at my last party? Once in Edens my boyfriend made this massive cake with a cubic assload of candles, and some of them were trick candles, and each person who walked in to surprise me had a sparkler, but the fire alarm still didn't go off...I thought it was funny and cool back then, but now I think maybe the smoke detector wasn't working right and that's really lame. God I talk too much. Same birthday date, still no recent candles.
7. Pets: Sasha the Cute Sasha is still around...she'll be 19 in people years next month. I think that makes her like 135 or something in cat years. We call her The Little Girl almost as much as we call her Sasha now though. Or TLG for short.
8. Eye color: Poo Grey (for those of you who are tired of me referring to "brown" as "poo colored") Still the same weird color. I say poo less though. I think.
9. Hair color: Poo Dirty Blonde Dark brown. I dyed it last week as a desperate attempt to counteract the MULLET some Texas bitch gave me when I got it cut last week. I'll speak of this later, and include photos.
10. Piercing: Nine holes total in my ears. Still the same. Sometimes I wish for more, but sometimes I'm impressed with myself for not having more, because I'm glad I don't stand out as much as I would if I were more metal-filled.
11. Tattoos: Small Gemini sign on my right wrist. Ah...how easily we forget the OTHER tattoo...the small capital "I" on the pad of my right pointer finger. That's been there even longer than the Gemini sign, as it was my "practice" tattoo. Note to any 14 year olds out there getting ready to do some self-tattooing: there's no such thing as a "practice tattoo."
12. How much do you love your job? I don't have a job. SCHOOL IS NOT A JOB, BRETT!!! JOBS PAY MONEY, THEY DON'T TAKE IT. ;) Ha...well I work now, and so does Brett. Do I like it? Let's just say...um...I'm grateful for the money and I'd prefer to not get fired, and I'll leave it at that.
13. Best gift you've received: Not sure...I mostly like the one's that are really "me" and just say, "hey, this person not only took the effort to get you something really cool, but it's EXACTLY what you want, which means they care about you and pay attention to who you are." Yeah...I still feel pretty much the same. Except that just because people don't get you exactly what you want, that doesn't mean they don't care about you or pay attention to who you are.
14. Hometown: I guess it's Seattle... Yep...same.
15. Current Residence: Seattle...in the Ghetto...(sung like Cartman) No! Yay! I own a home now, and it's really nice! We have a full bar, lots of space, a big yard and everything. It's in Marysville, and sometimes I feel the sub-urban environment leaves something to be desired...quite a lot of somethings sometimes...but I really, really, really wanted our kids to spend the first bit of their childhoods in a nice, quiet, tree-filled setting. Also, it's cheaper, there's parking everywhere, and it's just So Much Less Stressful. And I can still get sushi-quality fish fillets from my local grocer.
16. Been in love? Of course... It just keeps getting better. :)
17. Been to Africa? No, but if I'd had my way as a kid, all those dinners I'd been forced to eat because of the starving kids in Ethiopia would have been boxed up and shipped there. Instead I had to eat them, and then got in trouble for my "smart mouth." Ha! I'm funny.
18. Been toilet papered? Yeah...at a halloween party where we played Mummy. I think I've actually been a toilet paper bride once too, but I don't remember which gay-ass middle school sleepover I did that at... Hmmm...I say "gay-ass" a lot less now.
19. Loved somebody so much it made you cry? Oh Peter Jennings...why must you deny me your love?!? (syke...yes though.) Ew. I also say "syke" like, never.
20. Been in a car accident? Yeah Several, yes.
21. Croutons or bacon bits? Croutons only sometimes, bacon bits NEVER NEVER NEVER. I eat bacon now! I just started I think...last summer? It's alright. I wouldn't put it in salad though.
22. Sprite or 7 UP? UP YOURS. Somebody at Shannon's party last weekend told me they don't make 7up anymore, but if that's true, why are there still commercials for it? I haven't had it in a long time though, because everyone up here in the burbs seems to sell Sierra Mist instead.
23. Favorite Movie: Who can really pick just one? Same answer.
24. Favorite Holiday: The ones that turn out nice. Same answer.
25. Favorite day of the week: The ones that turn out nice. Aaaand...same answer.
26. Favorite word or phrase: Not sure...you guys would probably know better than me...I tend to be oblivious to my repetitiveness until Brett turns to me and snaps, "WOULD YOU JUST STOP USING THAT WORD?!" Wow...he actually hasn't said that in a long time, so I must be getting better about not using the same words over and over again.
27. Favorite Toothpaste: Crest "Dual-Action Multi-care Whitening"... I've been trying to stay away from mint stuff lately, because I think it aggravates the old Acid Reflux, so my new favorite toothpaste has become this Toms of Maine apricot flavored business.
28. Favorite Restaurant: Turd Burgler (I don't know right now) Still couldn't tell ya. I think Brett and I make the best food in town.
29. Favorite Flower: Tiger Lilies because of Brett, other than that, I like the really fleshy ones best...orchids and birds of paradise and all that... Yep...same answer.
30. Favorite Alcohol Drink: Beer when I'm feeling butch, wine otherwise. Mostly Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade now, or whatever it is.
31. Favorite Sport to watch: Mostly the only spectator sport I participate in is watching the kids in red square from my study spot in the library. I have actually been psycho enough about it to think in exasperation, "dammit! I always forget to bring binoculars!" I still like to people watch when I'm bored and in a public place. Real spectator sports are for chumps who like to feel the vicarious success of supporting a winning team, and people who would like to think they're more manly or athletic than they actually are. And Shannon, who is not a chump. Or manly. Or athletic, that I know of...
32. Preferred type of ice cream: Squished on the asphalt at Albertsons. Ha! This is because ice cream makes me sick to my stomach; I'm not supposed to have it.
33. Favorite Sesame Street Character: The Goldfish. Translation: Who is old enough to fill this out and STILL has a favorite Sesame Street character? Take the pacifier out of your mouth, the fuzzy backpack off your shoulders, and grow up. Or at least watch Boobahs instead so people can tell you're ebombing and not just fucking retarded.
34. Disney or Warner Bros: Disney - there's something about big mega-companies like Disney, Microsoft and Proctor & Gamble that really turn me on... I'm not sure if I was being sarcastic or not, which weirds me out a little...
35. Favorite Fast Food Restaurant: see question 28. I mostly eat at McDonalds when I eat fast food. Any place that includes sugar in every single food item (even their fries) is the place for me. (now THAT was sarcastic. Though I really do eat There.)
36. When was your last hospital visit: The spring before last I think...that oncologist I saw was at a hospital... I visited Brett's mom in the hospital last year. I think that was the last time.
37. What color is your bedroom carpet? Poo Smear Brown. Now it's kind of a creamy white.
38. How many times did you fail your permit or drivers test? Written once, driving once. Yep.
39. Who is the last person you got email from before this? Peter Tomagotchi. It wasn't sent to me this time, but the last person I read an email from was Brett.
40. Have you ever been convicted of a crime? Nope. And it's still a no.
41. Which single store would you choose to max out your credit card? I don't have a credit card... Still don't have a credit card.
42. What do you do most often when you are bored? Shit like this...or sleeping or watching tv...or taking baths... Watch tv or movies. Or shit like this. Or do stuff around the house, or shop, or go in le hottub.
43. Name the person that you are friends with that lives the farthest: Not sure, because I don't like being friends with people who are far away. I guess though it'd be my dad and his family in Kentucky. Jon lives in NYC, and is the farthest away person I actually communicate with steadily. Courtney lives in Tokyo but I haven't heard from her in months. Oh, and Amy lives in NC; I bet that's farther than NY, because it's lower down and all. Now I feel bad though, because I'd still call Courtney my friend even though she's busy with her Japanalife right now. So Courtney is my friend who lives farthest away.
PAUSE at 6:53pm to go catch the bus...more tomorrow... PAUSE at 11am to eat lunch...
RESUME at 12:01pm Wednesday...back in the lab...talking to Brett on AIM... RESUME at 12:03pm (same day) now that I've pigged out...
44. Most annoying thing? Not sure...it depends on what sort of a mood I'm in...but I always find loud/stupid/whiney people annoying. and vomit. that's annoying. These things still annoy me. So do other things, GW included, but I don't really like to think about things that annoy me, so I won't.
45. Bedtime? Sometime between 11pm and 1am usually. Usually from 9-10pm since we work so early now.
46. Who will respond the quickest? No one...you guys have already done it... Who knows. People have actually been using my "say something" link though; it's been great. The drastic increase in comments is also a great example of the laziness of the people who like me.
47. Who is the person you sent this to that is least likely to respond? Brett and Shannon... That's because they'd already filled it out, not because they don't like me. They like me, I swear!
48. Favorite all-time TV show: The one where the tv is on... Yeah, pretty much the same. I have a few classic favorites: Simpsons, Buffy, etc, but mostly I just enjoy whatever's on.
49. Last person you went out to dinner with: Not sure...I went to IHOP with Brett last week if that counts...but it was lunch time... Hmmm...once again I'm not sure...Brett would've been there for sure, but I don't remember where I went the very last time and who else was there.
50. Last Movie you saw: Shallow Hal I'm watching Fellowship of the Ring as I type this very sentence. The last movie I saw in the theatre though was Fahrenheit 9/11. Please dear God go see that movie; it'll make you sick to your stomach and you won't like what you see, but you'll be better off having witnessed it.
51. Favorite Music: Good...funky or jazzy usually...something with S-O-U-L I'm such a dork. But yeah...funky/sexy beats are included in most of what I like.
52. What CD is in your player right this second: Probably Warcraft, since Brett is on my computer... In the car is Röyksopp. In the computer, let's find out...nothing right now.
53. What is your deepest fear? Loss of loved ones...the unknown... Yep...same.
54: Time when you finished: 12:07pm 12:20pm.
