Random Survey #21

1. Is there someone you would like to be with at this moment? Why aren’t you with them?

- Because he's in bed and I'll be with him soon. :P

2. If you were going to make a sandwich now, what would you put on it?

- Hmm... just a veggie sandwich sounds pretty good atm.

3. What’s your relationship with the last person you talked to on the phone?

- He's my daddy. <3

4. Is there a friend you haven’t seen or spoken to in a while? Why haven’t you seen or spoken to them?

- Hmm... yeah. I really don't like her boyfriend and he's really changed her, plus we live in separate states, so we don't really talk much anymore.

5. Do you ignore people when you’re annoyed or upset?

- It really depends on the person, but in most cases, I try to communicate with them and have a conversation about what it is that's bothering me.

6. Is there anything worrying you atm? Would you like to talk about it?

- Not so much... I mean, there isn't much to be worried about. I mean, my boyfriend (who I currently live with) is moving back to Washington in a month and a half and I'm staying in Oregon, so I'm a little worried, even though I know we can probably make it being long-distance. It's only a year and a half.

7. Is there anyone that you know definitely doesn’t like you? Does that bother you?

- I'm sure there are people that don't, but it doesn't really affect me.

8. Can you remember the last time you felt angry or upset? What was the reason?

- Hmm... I do quite frequently. Thank you, mental health issues.

9. Who were the last three people you talked to before going to bed last night?

- Ryan (the boyfriend), Craig (Ryan's stepbrother) and Marla (Ryan's stepmother)

10. Are you wearing nail varnish? Is it chipped?

- Yep, candy cane stripes. And it is chipped. Been almost a week since I did it.

11. Tell me about the last conversation you had with a friend of the same sex. Who did you talk to, and what did you talk about?

- I have no idea, honestly. I don't have many girlfriends.

12. Now tell me about the last conversation you had with a friend of the opposite sex.

- If my boyfriend counts, it was about how he was going to bed and wanted me to join him, but I wasn't ready.

13. You’re trying to end a conversation, but the other person doesn’t seem to want to stop talking. What do you do?

- I just sit and wait and start responding less and if I have to go, I let them know.

14. Have you ever told anyone that you wished you’d never met them? Did you mean it?

- I don't think so... at least not that I know of.

15. Who is the most intelligent person you know?

- Hmm... either my stepdad, my boyfriend, or my ex.

16. Would you say your name is a ‘common’ name? Do you know lots of other people with your name?

- YES. There were so many "Sam"s, "Sammi"s, "Sami"s, "Sammie"s and "Sammy"s as I was growing up. It was horrible.

17. Have you ever really liked a song to begin with, but then you listened to it so much that you got bored of it?

18. If a boyfriend/girlfriend was clingy, would that be a problem for you?

-I've definitely gotten irritated with clingy boyfriends. Haven't had any clingy girlfriends (yet?).

19. If you saw your last ex holding hands with someone else, would it bother you?

- No. I know he lives with his girlfriend. We broke up over 2 years ago, so it's whatever.

20. Who was the last person you talked to, whose name started with a letter M? Do you know what color that person’s eyes are?

- Hmm... It would have been Marla, Ryan's stepmom, and I really couldn't say.

21. You have a lot on your mind and really need to talk. Who would you go to?

- Ryan. If he's involved, mom. If I can't tell her... I dunno.

22. Which day did you prefer, yesterday, or today? Why?

- Today, I guess because I'm home with my mom and stepdad and Ryan's here. :)

23. Who is the person that has hurt you the most? How has that person affected you?

- Probably my ex. I don't want to get into it, it was 4 years and there was far too much affectation for me to sum it up.

24. Have you talked in your sleep before?

- So I've been told.

25. Is there a letter that occurs in your name more than once?

- My full first name has 3 As. One of my two nicknames has 2 Ms.

26. If you could design your perfect partner, what would he/she look like? And what kind of personality would he/she have?

27. Think about the first person you had a relationship with. Do you believe that person loved you?

- Well, if we're talking about my first serious relationship, I know he did. It was just that we had too many cracks and holes to patch things up before it all came crashing down.

28. Who is the first person who comes to mind that you dislike. Why? How often do you see/speak to that person?

Random Survey #19 (Pretty Random, Actually)

1.What is your favorite kind of cracker?
Triscuits (Thin Crisp ones)

2. Have you ever heard that eating paper can give you worms [it’s not true, by the way]?
Not even once.

3. Do you avoid short surveys?  What about excessively long ones [one hundred questions plus]?
I just do ones that I want to do...

4. Can you name a single song by Billy Joel without looking it up?
Yep. Piano Man. Uptown Girl was another one by him, I believe. 

5. Are there any wrappers / empty beverage containers on your desk / some surface in your room?
Not in my bedroom, but I'm sure that the entertainment center that functions as my desk (in the living room) has something like that on it.

6. Do you wish life functioned more similarly to video games, such as having a save file that you could return to after you make a mistake & therefore you could erase that from happening & start over anew?
No. What happens happens. It would defeat the purpose if we got do-overs. Mistakes wouldn't happen because you could just undo them.

7. What is the last body part you injured?  How was it done?Not a clue. I injure myself so often (accident prone AND clumsy) that I can't even tell you when the last time I got hurt was, let alone where.

8. Do you try to avoid burping in public, or are you open about it?  After all, it is a normal bodily function.
Burping, I do. I'm not very ladylike. :P

9. If you could live the life of any Disney princess, who would you pick & for what reason?  Do you think their lives / tales are really as desirable as they seem?
I don't have any idea. Belle, I guess, since she's surrounded by books? I mean, she is the smart one, after all. Honestly, I don't really think their lives SEEM desirables, soooo... 

10. Have you ever heard strange noises on your roof at night?  Did you / would you ignore it, or inspect it?
I don’t think so.

11. Do you like regular peppermint candy canes, or do you prefer different flavored ones [fruits, bubble gum, cinnamon, etc.]?
They're all good. I just end up chewing them up.

12. When something hurts on your body, or you discover something [like a bump, mole, whatever] that wasn’t previously there, do you always assume the worst?No.

13. Have you ever been kissed while sitting atop the hood of a car?
Don't think so.

14. What do you think is the dumbest / tackiest piercing?Uvula piercing. Totally dangerous, stupid, and WHY?

15. What is something ordinary that you think is beautiful?No idea. Can't think of anything right now.

16. Have you ever refused to read / watch / listen to something simply because a lot of people really liked it?Possibly. Not recently, but definitely a possibility.

17. Do you own an umbrella?  What color is it?No, I'm from the pacific northwest. We don't need umbrellas.

18. Do you find facial hair attractive or unattractive?
Depends on the guy, but I definitely like beards.

19. Have you ever requested a song on the radio?
Yeah, when I was in middle school. Dunno that they ever played my requests, but it was super fun to call the radio station all the time.

20. Is there someone / something preventing you from doing what you want?
That is a really vague, general question. I don't think so?

21. When you were a kid, did you realize how depressing ‘The Circle of Life’ from The Lion King really is?  Do you realize now?
I don't see that song as depressing so I guess I DON'T realize it now? I mean, it is talking about how everybody dies someday, but that isn't depressing. Death is a natural thing. 

22. Do you have any Facebook friends that have profile pictures of someone / something other than themself?
Quite a few, yes.

23. If you could have anything as a snack right now, what would you have?
No idea. I'd rather have something nummy to drink.

24. When you think of the word ‘snack’, does fruit [or vegetables] ever come to mind?Yeah, I love fruit. One of my favorite snacks. :3

25. What was the last mandatory thing you had to do that you really dreaded?
Umm... huh. My last homework assignment for phonetics. D:
