Stupid Survey Thingy Simons sent me

Posted by Dataforce

Meh, I don't normally, ever publically do these survey things despite finding them an interesting read (I tend to answer them to myself as i read other peoples), but Simons said in his that i wouldn't reply so I have to, just to prove him wrong! hah! go me!

In part 1 I've put little comments under all of the answers, cos i was bored. I also reformatted it to space things out properly and remove all the stupid >>> bits taht were in the email i got from simons

I originally sent this via email to 42 people, then decided to put it up here cos thats where these things ultimately end up.

1. Place an X by all the things you've done and leave the brackets empty for those you haven't. This is for your entire life:

( ) Smoked a cigarette
-> Urgh No, Disgusting habit

(x) Drank so much you threw up
-> I threw up once after having too much coke once (altho pepsi doesn't have this effect, i guess its just better :P )

( ) Crashed a friend's car
-> Almost crashed mine tho coming home one night

( ) Stolen a car
-> Nope, too much like effort

(x) Been in love
-> Depends

(x) Been dumped
-> Ye, once, by letter, after 3 days, how nice

( ) Been laid off/fired
-> Nope, I'm a good worker!

( ) Quit your job
-> Not yet

(x) Been in a fist fight
-> Does the fight with rob moore in yr 8 count?

(x) Snuck out of your parent's house
-> Erm, i didn't really sneak out, rather just walked out without people knowing (they were asleep, it was 3am and i was bored so went for a random drive)

(x) Had feelings for someone who didn't have them back
-> Feelings yes, not sure about if they have them back or not, aint actually said anything to them yet

( ) Been arrested
-> Nope, not yet

( ) Gone on a blind date
-> More like, "Gone on a date"

(x) Lied to a friend
-> Once or twice, I avoid doing this because imo you shouldn't lie to friends else they wont trust you

(x) Skipped school
-> I've skipped lessons in school a few times

( ) Seen someone die

(x) Been on the opposite side of the country
-> Been all over the UK me

( ) Gone to Washington, DC
-> Not Yet

( ) Swam in the ocean
-> Ick no, its dirty

(x) Felt like dying
-> Kinda-ish, felt really bad cos of things I've said/done to people. I think about things to much, and blow them out of proportion in my mind.

(x) Cried yourself to sleep
-> Early years of school when people weren't so nice cos i was different (Preferred Computers over other things). This was before I built up my emotional immunity.

( ) Played cops and robbers

-> Many Times

(x) Made prank phone calls.
-> When i was younger yes

( ) Laughed until some kind of beverage came out of your nose
-> Not done this one yet, usually cos it comes out my mouth not nose

( ) Caught a snowflake on your tongue.
-> Snow doesn't happen often enough for me to remember to try this

( ) Danced in the rain
-> Ick, Rain, go away. Unless your replacing extreme sun, cos it makes my room nice and cool not stupidly hot

(x) Written a letter to Santa Claus
-> Haven't we all?

( ) Been kissed under the mistletoe
-> Just The first Two words would suffice really

(x) Watched the sun rise with someone you care about.
-> Does myself count? I care about me. Aint sat and watched it rise or set with anyone but myself. Been around someone else I care about when it has been setting tho, but didn't stop to watch.

(x) Gone roller-skating
-> I've Roller Skated once or twice yes

(x) Ice-skating
