The following is stolen from: here.

1. When you put license plates on your car, do you renew the same one or get different ones?

I get whatever the people behind the counter tell me to do. I don’t deliberately get new ones, but I have new ones this year because they’re stupidly redoing all the license plates in the state. Now we have, instead of one or two styles, about five dozen. No kidding. You can even get a /quilter’s/ license plate. Whee.

2. How often do you go out to eat? Go through drive-thru?

I haven’t done drive through in about a year and a half. There just isn’t any here, and when I’m out in the cities where there is… I usually don’t want to eat in my car. I go out to eat… oh, once a weekish. That includes Subway, which doesn’t really count in my book, but… whatever.

3. Do you autodeposit checks or put them in the bank yourself?

I don’t often get checks. My paycheck is direct deposited. Anyone other checks gets passed through my parents’ bar. I cash them that way, because I’m never around when the bank is open. I’m usually asleep. If I need money deposited, I give it to my mom, and let her take it there.

4. Would you rather have an hour of alone time, or “coffee” with a friend?

An hour of internet time, with online friends. How’s that?

5. How easily do you get your feelings hurt?

Fairly easily, actually, if you know what buttons to push. I’m working on growing a tougher hide.

6. Do you ever get up early enough to see the sun rise?

Hell, I’m at work when the sun rises, so I don’t really get to see it happening, except over the security monitor. The question (in the winter, anyway) is do I get up early enough to see it /set/. *laugh* And the answer has been no, until just recently. Now I’m never going to see darkness, except at work.

7. How often do you think you misinterpret something someone said or did, only to find out you got upset over nothing?

Not often. But I have a friend (A) who does that all the time.

8. Have your ever borrowed or loaned a large sum of money to a friend or relative?

Yes. To both. Well, what I term large, anyway. I mean, a couple hundred bucks is huge to me. *lol* And I’ve borrowed a lot more than that from parents.

9. What is the true measure of a “friend?”

I don’t know. I just know my friendships, the ones I have managed to keep, work.

10. On a scale from 1-10, how good are you with staying in touch with yours?

I don’t have many, and one either follows me around the country, or I follow her. *lol* I guess maybe a 7. I lost some really good friends several years ago when I moved. Nobody kept in touch with me… except one - A.

Last week’s Ten on Tuesday:

10 Things that People Do To Annoy You

1. Don’t turn on their blinkers when driving, driving too slowly, too fast, too recklessly, too stuipdly…
2. Smoke around people who don’t. Including children. Even their own. Worse when they act as if their right to pollute their lungs is more important than everyone else’s right not to smoke their shit. Worse still when they spout off bullshit about secondhand smoke being harmless. People believe anything.
3. Really believe that certain minorities have “an agenda” that involves destroying the majority’s way of life. Popular minority targets for this “agenda” bullshit recently include gay people and regular Muslims.
4. Believe that a living, breathing adult woman has less rights than that of a several week old fetus. I, too, believe that life begins upon implantation of sperm into egg. But I would never tell someone that they have no choice but to either get an unsafe abortion from a back alley doctor, or suffer through pregnancy, birth, medical bills, and possibly the aftercare of a child they do not want. While I believe that abortion should rarely be necessary in this day and age, reality tells us that shit happens anyway. You cannot /force/ a woman to give birth. That’s barbaric.
5. Get all worked up over nothing. (see recent news crap about MySpace)
6. Don’t take care of their kids. Or abuse them.
7. Evangelize - any religion.
8. Live in ignorance and refuse to learn anything. This goes hand in hand with believing everything they hear, see, or have been taught by “elders”, never questioning anything.
9. Believe that saying anything bad about one’s government, or disagreeing with it, or even hating the adminstration is akin to unpatriotism. Worse they say things like “If you don’t like it, leave!” That’s bullshit. In America, we have the freedom to dislike and speak out against our government. It’s one of the freedoms we enjoy (though god only knows for how much longer at this rate…) - to demean people for exercising this right is a bunch of bullshit. Being patriotic is not blindly ignoring a government’s flaws - in fact, that’s downright stupid. Our forefathers would be disgusted at this blind American pride. I, for one, love my country - and will loudly exercise my right to bitch about it all I want.
10. Get their kicks out of treating other people like shit.

From Saturday 8

1. What is your financial situation now … “happy bunny,” “the bills get paid but that’s about it,” or “scramblin’ scramblin’?”

I just spent all my money, so it’s more like “the bills get paid but that’s about it”. I have a tiny big of leeway cash every paycheck.

2. Do you work now? if so, how many jobs? if not, why not?

Yep. Full time, midnight shift, police dispatcher. Whee.

3. Do you have and use credit cards, or do you pay cash/check for what you need?

I have credit cards, but I’m trying to pay them off, so they don’t get used. I pay cash/check for everything.

4. Retail therapy - do you shop when you feel depressed or sad, or maybe when you are celebrating?

Yeah, I do. *lol* All of the above. And then I wish I hadn’t, usually. I’m a guilty shopper.

5. Do you spend money on eating out often, or do you mostly grocery shop and cook at home to save cash?

My parents buy my groceries through the farm corporation, so I can use my free cash to eat out once a week or so.

6. Besides a mortgage, do you have any loans? (line of credit, home equity, money borrowed from friends/family, etc.)

I don’t have a mortgage. I do have student loans. And a car loan. And credit card debts up the arse. And I’ve borrowed money from the parents, and… Yeah.

7. Do you own your automobile outright, or do you make payments on a loan or lease?

I’m making payments on a loan. Fegh.

8. You just got $400,000 … this is after taxes, not a loan, and simply a windfall check you received. what are you going to do with it?

YEEHAW! I’d pay off all my debts first. Then move the hell outta here, buy a house somewhere (Olympia, maybe…) and live frugally until I could find a job. And I’d update my computers, buy a new desk/chair combo, that sorta thing. New bed.

——————————–

Here’s another, from Sunday 7

Name 7 computer programs you can’t live without.

1. Linux (does that count? It’s an operating system…)
2. Putty (SSH rules my world at work. Connects me to home.)
3. Sylpheed (the latest email program that suits my RPGing needs. Supports billions of messages without the delays my beloved thunderbird was having…)
4. Firefox (or Konqueror - quite similar)
5. Gaim
6. vi (a command line text editor - useful in putty)
7. Gedit (a graphical text editor - used on the linux desktop at home)

And the Saturday 6 from the same place as above.

1. Assuming you have a DVD player and a show you used to enjoy becomes available on DVD…what is the deciding factor on whether or not you’ll actually buy it?

Honestly, I wouldn’t buy it. Spending some $50 or more on a television show is ridiculous when you know you’ll probably never watch it again anyway. Now, if I could pirate this from a friend, it’s another story… *eyes R and her Firefly DVDs*

2. What do you find generally more offensive: the average prime time television show or the people who want their own personal standards of decency to be the guidelines the networks must follow?

The people & their bloody standards. If you don’t like it, turn it off, or watch another show. There’s plenty of ‘decent’ shit out there, too. However, I find most television offensive. Not because of the sex, violence, rampant gay people, etc. - no, I find it offensive because it’s /stupid/.

3. If you were in charge of the FCC, which of the following would be your priority when it comes to decency on the airwaves: cutting down on violence, sex or profanity?

To maintain decency on the airwaves, I’d cut down on reality tv.

4. Take this quiz (if you haven’t already!): What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die?

*chortle* I’m G is for George, smothered under a rug. Whee!

You will be smothered under a rug. You’re a little anti-social, and may want to start gaining new social skills by making prank phone calls.

How cute.

5. One of those crazy remodeling shows appears at your door one day and offers to redo any room of your house or apartment for free, but that it can only be one single room that gets a makeover. Would you let them in, and if so, which room would you choose and why?

Sure. I’d have them, uh… do my kitchen.

6. READER’S CHOICE QUESTION #86: Do you recall your first kiss? Did you think that kissing was worth all the hype??

It was lame. Very lame. Sadly, it’s also the only kiss I’ve had.
