Survey snagged from [livejournal.com profile] lootsfoz:

One Kleenex or two when you blow your nose?
However many I need, whether it be half a tissue or half a dozen.

Have you ever drank Slimfast?
Not that I recall.

Do you listen to music off your computer?
I listen to music off the Launchcast servers.

Do you wear headphones so you don't distract other people?
No, I wear headphones because there isn't enough room for external speakers.

Have you ever blown a speaker out in a car from having too much bass?
No.

Do you use highlighters frequently?
My highlighters have all dried out by now, I'm sure.

Do you carry scissors?
Oh, I am too close to Washington, DC to carry around such dangerous implements. I carry a tiny sewing kit, so I can use a needle to make perforations in something and then tear along the dotted line.

Blue or black ink?
Blue, usually. My gold pen may still work if I can find out where it's hiding.

Do you own a pair of flannel pants?
No, just sweatpants.

Do you wear slippers around the house?
My slippers fell apart, so I walk around in socks instead.

Do you untie your shoes before you take them off?
Always, unless they've untied themselves.

Can you keep a pair of white shoes clean for very long?
It's been many years since I tried.

Do you wash your car a lot?
No car.

How much does it cost to fill your vehicle up?
I am my own vehicle, and I get a little over $150 in food stamps per month.

Is your buddy list mainly people you don't talk to?
My buddy list is tiny, 'cos I'm not a fan of constant distractions. The list has a couple of local people I see sometimes, a few I've met in person, a couple I've spoken to on the phone, and people I chat with, e-mail, or exchange comments with on LJ.

Do you put your dirty clothes in a basket or just let them lay on your floor?
They go on the closet floor (which is actually a staircase).

Are your dresser drawers organized?
Organized, but my clothes aren't necessarily neatly folded.

Do you belong to Sam's Club?
Nope.

Do you like Super Target?
I don't know the difference between Super Target and regular Target.

Has someone accidentally given you back the wrong change and you just kept it?
Nope.

Ever been to a hockey game?
Not unless you count the games we played in gym class in school.

Does your mom still do your laundry?
No, and it's not fair! Heck, I couldn't even get my parents to rise from the dead so I could watch a movie. My parents are big meanies.

Do you spend extremely too much time on your computer?
Not by my standards.

Do you pick your nose when you drive because you think just because you have tinted windows they can't see you?
I don't drive, and no.

Do you think your mom's hot?
No, the coffin looked comfortable enough.
Seriously, her side of the family was the beauty queen side. They were all beautiful when they were younger and probably would have stayed beautiful if it weren't for the ravages of yo-yo dieting. (That also happens to be the obesity & diabetes side of the family.)

Do you honestly sing in the shower?
Not lately; too many housemates.

Have you ever found out that there was no toilet paper in the stall after you sat down?
Yes, though I try to be prepared.

Are you the moron that writes on the bathroom walls?
Not since college.

Do you park in the same place everyday at schoo/work or close to the same place?
Still no car.

Do you have a blank paper near by?
There's a pack of notebook paper in the drawer to my right.

How long are your showers?
Too long, honestly. I could blame it on the fact that I have long hair or the fact that chronic pain slows me down, but honestly I am just too fond of the running water.

Do people call you and piss you off?
Is it just me, or have telemarketers' phone skills gotten worse lately? I pick up the phone and say "Hello." They respond with a "Hello?" followed by total silence, as if they never learned the basic rules of conversation. What's up with that?

Do you click over when someone beeps in and you're on the phone?
So far that hasn't happened.

Is the word "dude" part of your everyday vocabulary?
No, I like to save it for special occasions.

Do you like leather couches?
People have leather couches?

Do you cross your legs when you sit down?
Not always, though they're crossed now.

How many pairs of shoes do you have?
Four pairs, only two of which ever get worn.

Do you love shoes?
I might if I owned any that actually fit my feet.

Do you eat and drink in your room?
Yes.

Does thunder only happen when it's raining?
No.

Do you have candles in your room?
I'm a big fan of scented candles (naturally-scented ones, anyway). The one I bought after Isabel still has some life left.

Do you have any beanie babies?
Nope, but I think there's a similar critter of a different brand packed away in a box somewhere.

Do you keep old shit that you made when you were little, like art projects and stuff?
Not here.

Do you still have the original Nintendo?
I have never had any kind of Nintendo.

Remember the duck hunting game?
The what??
Apparently the answer is No.

Do you have an email account through Yahoo!?
More than one.

What COUNTY are you from?
The same one I'm in right now.

Do you know anyone with the nickname Lunchbox?
Knowing the people I do, I would not be surprised if someone had that as one of their nicknames.

Do you yell across the bowling alley at people you know?
I might do that if I were ever at a bowling alley.

How often do you change your bed sheets?
Once a week.

Do you have arthritis in your hands or fingers?
No, but that doesn't mean they behave themselves.

Do you like Scooby Doo?
Eh, never got into that show.

Would you ever buy seat covers for your car?
Still no car.

Have you ever played tennis?
Gym class. A guy in the 9th grade bashed my head repeatedly with a metal tennis racket. He had a bad way of letting girls know he had a crush.

Have you ever played shuffleboard?
Probably, but I don't know when if I have.

Do you wear your coat even when you're in your house?
Not unless the heating oil runs out.

Have you ever dropped a bowling ball?
Yes. Fortunately it was only duckpin.

Have you ever gone to a restaurant and just had a glass of water?
Oh yes.

Do you donate to the Goodwill?
I'm a receiver of donated clothes, not a donor.

Have you ever just walked around for the hell of it?
Just about any time I get a good chance.

Is your alarm clock right by your bed?
On the desk at the foot of my bed.

My bedroom used to be a hallway to the stairway that leads to the attic. Nobody goes into the attic except the landlord (very rarely, like three times in the last seven years), so the little enclosed staircase is now the closet for this bedroom.

Oh, I see! Reminds me of the apartment I rented in Lake Worth that was a converted attic. It was oddly shaped, and the roof sloped on one side to the point that tall people would have to duck to walk around. Luckily I'm 5'3" and my roommate was 4'11"! It also had a tiny little door (probably 3 feet tall) that led to another part of the attic that wasn't converted, that we used as storage. This apartment had two front doors. Not two doors that make one large opening. Two doors side by side that open the same way. It was a really interesting place to live! ^_^
