yay for surveys!

I saw this on MySpace and decided it could be my next post since there is nothing interesting in my life to talk about.

Tired of those same old 55 questions about me surveys? Well here are 55 I guarantee you've never answered.

1. Is your second toe longer than your first?
nope

2. Do you have a favorite type of pen?
yes

3. Look at your planner for January 17, what are you doing?
I don't know that is about a year away, but since it's on a Thursday, I'd say working and going to to TKD.

4. What color are your toenails usually?
I usually paint them pink, red, gold, silver, or blue.

5. What is the last thing you highlighted?
I remember highlighting something a few weeks ago, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was.

6. What color are your bathroom towels?
sage

7. What color are the seats in your car?
grey

8. Have you ever had a black and white cat?
ah, Scarface. What a sweetie. That was my family's cat, that still counts, right?

9. What is the last thing you put a stamp on?
receipts I mailed to my son's dad. Actually, I put the stamps on the envelope.

10. Do you know anyone who lives in Wyoming?
Dear Lord, no.

11. Why did you withdraw cash from the ATM the last time?
I can't remember the last time I got money from the ATM, to be honest. I cash my paychecks and deposit the cash, so I just keep out what I'll need.

12. Who is the last baby that you held?
I think it was Isabelle.

13. Do you know of any twins with rhyming names?
Thank heavens, no.

14. Do you like Cinnamon toothpaste?
gross!

15. What kind of car were you driving 2 years ago?
Ford Explorer

16. Pick one: Miami Hurricanes or Florida gators?
Uh, gators are more easily contained than hurricanes, so I guess I'll choose them. :) Oh, are we talking about sports?

17. Last time you went to Six Flags?
Last summer. Ethan was a whiny little bitch.

18. Do you have any wallpaper in your house?
I live in a mobile home. They come standard with wallpaper, but I think we've painted over most of it.

19. Closest thing to you that is yellow:
Ethan's report card. A's and B's, thank you very much.

20. Last person to give you a business card?
a guy from church to whom I was needing to send an email.

21. Who is the last person you wrote a check to?
School for Ethan's lunches.

22. Closest framed picture to you?
I think the closet one is actually a picture of me and Ethan. Tee hee.

23. Last time you had someone cook for you?
Sunday. Lawrence cooks for me all the time. Oh wait, I think my mom made dinner once since then.

24. Have you ever applied for welfare?
My son was completely paid for by the government! But that's Medicaid, not welfare, so does that count? I was also on WIC when I was pregnant. Does that count? In conclusion, I have no idea.

25. How many emails do you have?
Do you mean email addresses or actual emails? Cause I have two email addresses, but I don't think I could even count how many emails I have. I mean, there's the inbox, and then there's tons of folders with who knows how many saved emails in them. I'm not even going to discuss the bulk mail.

26.Last time you received flowers?
about two weeks ago. Lawrence is letting me down. He promised me weekly flowers!

27. Do you think the sanctity of marriage is meant for only a man & woman?
I think that sanctity has nuthin to do with it. The only reason for homosexual marriage is illegal is because religious folk think it's a sin, and we have a thing called separation of church and state, so really, they don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to keeping homosexuals from getting married. It should be legal, and then churches can refuse to marry them if they want.

29. Do you play air guitar?
Am I a ten year old boy? So, no, I don't play air guitar.

30. Do you take anything in your coffee?
I don't drink coffee, but when I did, I took sugar and cream. And sometimes Kahlua.

31. Do you have any Willow Tree figurines?
I have no idea what that even means.

32. What is your high school's rival mascot?
Does my high school have a rival? I don't even know!

33. Last person you spoke to from high school?
Mike

34. Last time you used hand sanitizer?
I don't like hand sanitizers because they leave a film on your hands. I'd much rather just go wash them with soap.

35. Would you like to learn to play the drums?
not really, but I would take the opportunity if it presented itself.

36. What color are the blinds in your living room?
beige.

37. What is in your inbox at work?
don't have one

38. Last thing you read in the newspaper?
I don't read the paper except when a headline catches my eye. So the last thing I read was about a woman who lives in Argyle that can't go outside because she was exposed to so many pollutants her body became allergic to everything. She lives in a special trailer with all these filters and stuff. She makes jewelry to keep herself mentally stable.

39. What was the last pageant you attended?
Now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever been to a pageant. Have I been missing out?

40. What is the last place you bought pizza from?
Olive Branch.

41. Have you ever worn a crown?
Of course! On my birthday my friends bought me a silver plastic tiara with a big butterfly on the front that has flashing multicolored lights in the wings. I just put it on the other day as a matter of fact.

42. What is the last thing you stapled?
Something at the library at church, I'm sure.

43. Did you ever drink Clear Pepsi?
Yeah man. I'm actually one of the four people nation wide that liked it.

44. Are you ticklish?
I'm not ticklish. I'm not ticklish. I'm NOT ticklish!

45. Last time you saw fireworks?
Labour day I think. Wait, I think I saw some random ones on New Years.

46. Last time you had a Krispy Kreme doughnut?
Couple of months ago.

47. Who is the last person that left you a message & you actually returned their call?
I think it was the guy from the bank.

48. Last time you parked under a carport?
When I picked up Lawrence at the airport. Oh, I guess that's a parking garage.

49. Do you have a black dog?
No, I fully intend to never have a dog.

50. Do you have any pickles in your fridge?
Do you see by my picture where it says, "Margie the Pickle Princess?" Of course, I have pickles in my fridge.

51. Are you an aunt or uncle?
no.

52. Who has the prettiest eyes that you know of?
I like that guy's eyes that played Chris on Charmed. What?!?

53. When was the last time you saw a semi-truck?
Today. I live in Texas. All I have to do is look out the window and I'll see one.

54. Do you remember Ugly Kid Joe?
Of course. My Ugly Kid Joe CD (America's Least Wanted) got all scratched up when it fell under my seat, dammit.

I guess it's serious

As of yesterday, Lawrence and I have been dating 1 whole year. It's hard to believe! I must say, I've never been in a relationship where we dated fer reals for a year straight. I mean, I've been "with" a guy secretly for that long, and I dated my son's dad for almost two years, but we broke up almost monthly, so I don't think that really counts as a serious, solid relationship. Some days I can't believe it's been a year already, and some days it feels like we've been dating forever. And, quite frankly, between him being pretty annoying in a lot of ways, and me being a demanding and neurotic bitch, I'm shocked neither one of us has dumped the other yet. And the weirdest thing is that we don't even fight or anything. I mean, we've had a couple of fights, but I think two minor fights that get resolved before the evening is over in a year is a pretty damn good track record. We disagree about things, but we actually talk about them and work things out like real people are supposed to. It's just weird, really. Some days I think that I should dump him for his own good, so that he's not saddled with this bag of mood swing that is me for eternity, but when I actually seriously consider it, it's like the lights go off in my brain and all the air gets sucked out of my lungs, so I guess I won't do it. The truth is, I've never been happier in my life, and I find that to be strange and foreign, but in a way that I think I could probably get used to.

So, down to the nitty gritty. For our anniversary, we exchanged gifts, of course, and I got him two movies and a sweatshirt. (We had agreed ahead of time that I'm am poor as hell right now and that I would either not get him anything or would get him something inexpensive.) He got me a SanDisk Sansa c250 MP3 player. It's totally swwweeeeet! Not only does it play MP3's, it also has an FM tuner and recorder! That's always been my problem with most MP3 players; I was like, what if I get tired of what I have on there and want to listen to the radio, eh? So no problem there. It's 2 GB, but it also has a slot for a microSD card, so I can expand the memory, so that's pretty cool. It can also store and show pictures and has a voice recorder, neither of which I can see myself using, but it's nice to know they're there. He also got me a sports pack to go with it, that has a neoprene case with a belt clip and an armband so that I can wear it while I'm exercising, which is exactly why I wanted an MP3 player in the first place.

So now I have a kick ass MP3 player AND a sweet sweet boyfriend! How lucky can one girl be? Now I just have to upload all my cd's to the computer and transfer them to the Sansa. Uh. . . that should be. . .fun. :)
