Since everyone seems to be doing it.. in The Trials of a Broke College Student Working Retail

I figure, why the heck not. It keeps me from baking something...

Totally stolen survey

A Jar of Balloons Survey, 2014 Edition

Will you agree to let a lover use your toothbrush? Why or why not?

He and I have shared a toothbrush, we dont like to, but when its the only one between the 2 of you and you're in the wilderness backpacking for days on end with out seeing a town, you do what you must. Other wise, I have my 2 toothbrushes and he has his 2 toothbrushes.

In your bad dreams do you ever throw the slow motion punch?

Not that Im aware of..

Do you eat or give away pickles?

I used to give them away, now Im the one looking for neglected pickles thanks to my honey's mom's homemade pickles.

Do you match and ball socks or just dump them, en masse, into the drawer?

It all depends on the type of sock. Since my honey and I share a sock drawer, I generally match them. All of the black ankle socks are matched and most of my crazy knee socks are matched, but not with their match...

Do you bisect your sevens with one of those squiggly hyphens? When writing the number 2 do you loop the bottom?

I only bisect my sevens when they are next to 1s or 2s. I havent looped the bottom of my 2s in years.

When eating out, do you set your knife atop your plate and change hands?

When Im not using it. It all depends on what Im using the knife for.

Do you tear into wrapped presents or open them neatly with the spoken intent to save the paper?

I just open them. If it means the paper is torn to shreds, it is.

Would you rather drive or be driven?

I would rather drive most days, but then I have those days where I want to be driven.

Do you engage strangers in conversations on airplanes? If no, it's odd, isn't it, when the time comes to accept peanut packets or order sodas and you hear their voices?

People dont tend to talk to me on planes unless its the flight attendant of whomever I may be flying with. No one wants to deal with the freaked out 20something thats scared of flying. Except little kids. They always talk to me.

Do you own a bathrobe?

I use one, but its not mine.

Are they still there, those ascending horizontal lines that marked your growth as a child up a wall or a door?

Not that Im aware of...

Can you write at all with your opposite hand?

Thats funny.

Do audiences affect your attempts to urinate or parallel park?

Not at all. I could have just met you and pee right in front of you. Either way, I suck at parallel parking so its always a show, even when no one is watching.

Do you bookmark or dog-ear your books?

Bookmark, if I use one. I usually just close the book and find where I left off without a bookmark.

Do you mind fighting losing battles?

Not if I have a point to prove.

Do you check the dates on coins?

Every time. I like to try and think what was going on for me in that year, or if it was before I was birthed, what may have been going on in history.

Do you like to be the one who holds the tickets (for airplanes, movies, etc.)?

Yes. I cant not hold them. Its usually safer that way too.

Can you sleep with socks on?

I can sleep with just about anything on. Socks. Jeans. Corset. Bra. Dont care. If Im tired, I'll pass out.

Are you a sucker for foreign accents?

Sadly, yes.

Are you skilled at giving directions?

Yes. I am directionally impaired, so I give directions for the directionally impaired.

Is your name frequently mispronounced?

All the time.

Do you attempt to pronounce foreign words correctly, such as calling a crescent-shaped roll a cwaSAHN?

Most of the time. Some days Im just bad.

Do you think grades in school mattered?

For grade school, not really. College, most definitely.

Can you tie a tie? What about a bowtie?

I can tie a tie, but not a bowtie

Does making a good list ever feel like an accomplishment in itself?

Only when grocery shopping or packing.

Have you ever been on fire?

Yes. My beer-can stove exploded on me when backpacking in 2012. My puffy sleeve and left hand caught on fire. No major damage. Small blister and no burn holes!

Are your faucets tricky to the point where were an out-of-towner to use your shower, you'd feel the need to give a tutorial?

Nope.

Do you tend (or did you tend) to date people older or younger than yourself?

Older. My fiance is 7 years older than me.

When walking or driving with a companion in a place where your companion is familiar and you are not, do you tend not to pay any attention whatsoever?

I pay as much attention as I can. I generally still need help getting where Im going.

Do the number of beaches you've been on exceed your fingers?

Nope. Just the number of times Ive been to the beach.
