About Me

I am a relatively simple person, or at least, that’s what I’d like to believe.

Here’s a meme, just so I can avoid having to type out something long and introspective:

Name: Dot

DOB:  07.31.82

Location:  CT

1. Have you ever been searched by the cops?
No, can’t say that I have, despite my best efforts.

2. Do you close your eyes on roller coasters?
No, but sometimes I take my glasses off.

3. When’s the last time you’ve been sledding?
Winter intersession 2000/01, the infamous night I broke three bones in my back.

4. Would you rather sleep with someone else, or alone?
Preferably someone else.  I’m a cuddler.

5. Do you believe in ghosts?
No.

6. Do you consider yourself creative?
Sometimes.  Depends on if I feel passionate about something and I’m not too worried that people are going to make fun of me for it.

7. Do you think O.J. killed his wife?
Somewhere in the multiverse he did. Hell, somewhere in the multiverse,
he killed Reagan in a bloody coup and rules America with an iron fist! 
For some reason, in that universe, he wears an eye patch.
(In a much less creative spin, I’m using the answer that was originally here, as it’s way funnier than what I would have written.)

8. Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie?
Angelina.  She seems way more awesome.  Besides, she has Asian babies.  Formerly being an Asian baby (still Asian, minus the baby,) I have to give props to that.

9. Do you stay friends with your ex’s?
Not really.  Sometimes I talk to them, but that’s about it.

10. Do you know how to play poker?
Pretty much only Hold’em.  And I’m not particularly good at that, but I like it all the same.

11. Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight?
Yeah and it sucks.  A lot.

12. What’s your favorite commercial?
I’m partial to the “Dirty Jobs” commercials where Mike Rowe is hanging out with the pig.

13. What are you allergic to?
Coffee, Lactose and things that suck

14. If you’re driving in the middle of the night, and no one is around do you run red lights?
Usually the lights are flashing yellow by the time I go through them in the middle of the night.

15. Do you have a secret that no one knows but you?
I have a lot of them.

16. Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees?
After working at ESPN, I’m pretty convinced that there are special places in hell for both of those teams and their respective fans.

17. Have you ever been Ice Skating?
Yes and I love it, even though I suck at it.

18. How often do you remember your dreams?
Probably once a week or so — there’s the reoccurring Patrick Bateman dream … which is now even creepier because I totally likened one of my good friends to Patrick Bateman recently.

19. When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried?
Lots of times … too many to list.  My friends are awesome.

20. Can you name 5 songs by The Beatles?
Gosh, I hope so, I have like every album of theirs on my iPod …

21. What’s the one thing on your mind now?
That one thing that’s tearing me apart inside.

22. Do you know who Ghetto-ass barbie is?
No, but I’m sure she’s either worked with me at one point or another, or has come into my place of employment, much to the entertainment of my friends and me.

23. Do you always wear your seat belt?
Yes, because my car yells at me if I don’t.

24. What cell service do you use?
AT&T.  iPhone, biatch.

25. Do you like Sushi?
I do like sushi.  Unagi makes my heart smile.

26. Have you ever narrowly avoided a fatal accident?
Anyone who’s met me knows that I generally narrowly avoid being involved in a fatal accident once a day.

27. What do you wear to bed?
Pajamas, usually.  Oftentimes an article of clothing I’ve ganked from a friend, just so I don’t feel so lonely at night.  (Go ahead, give me shit for being emo.)

28. Been caught stealing?
Once, when I was fi— Wait, I’m not going to make the obvious Jane’s Addiction joke here.  And no, can’t say that I have.

29. What shoe size do you have?
Five and a half, Kids.  Shoe shopping is cheap, fun and ridiculously easy.

30. Do you truly hate anyone?
Not really.  I have an almost irrational hatred of Pearl Jam and Ben Affleck, but I’m sure they’re really nice people in person, so I’m not sure if that counts towards hating them.

31. Classic Rock or Rap?
Oh hell, give me both.

32. If you could sleep with one famous person, who would it be?
Meh, he’s not really famous at all, but he’s ridiculously hot.

33. Favorite Song?
Currently:  “Hero of War” – Rise Against
All-Time:  “Ruby Soho” – Rancid

34. Have you ever sang in front of the mirror?
Hell no, yet I’ll sing like hell for Rock Band or in the car.

35. What food do you find disgusting?
Balut … Not so much disgusting as I do ABSOLUTELY FUCKING TERRIFYING.
Read this — from cracked.com:

From:

The Philippines

What the hell is it?

Behold, for our journey of horror reaches its destination. Balut are
duck eggs that have been incubated until the fetus is all feathery and
beaky, and then boiled alive. The bones give the eggs a uniquely
crunchy texture.

They are enjoyed in Cambodia, Philippines and the fifth and seventh
levels of hell. They are typically sold by street vendors at night, out
of buckets of warm sand. You can spot the vendors because of their
glowing red eyes, and the faint, otherworldly sound of children
screaming.

Wait, it gets worse …

… Because you’re never going to look at an egg the same way. Tell
yourself that every time you crack open an egg from now on you won’t be
half expecting a leathery wad of bird to come flopping out into the
skillet.

Yes, balut is upsetting on about a half-dozen levels. Sure, all meat
eaters know on some level that the delicious chop on your plate used to
belong to something cute and fluffy, which gambolled in the sun during
the brief spring of its life. Most of the time, it’ perfectly possible
not to give a shit. But, when you’re biting into something that hasn’t
even had a chance to see its mother’ face … well, it’ different.

Danger of this turning up in America:

Actually, marketed properly, these eggs could be a damn good
motivator. When you’ve looked death in the face at breakfast time, what
the hell else can the day throw at you?

36. Do you sing in the shower?
I tried once and it just seemed weird.

37. Did you ever play, “I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours”?
No, and now that I’m 26, it’d just be kinky.

38. Have you ever made fun of your friends behind their back?
Often enough.

39. Have you ever stood up for someone you hardly knew?
Yeah, but then that backfired in my face, since the person turned out to be an superultramegadouche, so I haven’t done it since.

40. Have you ever been punched in the face?
I used to spend a lot of time playing in the pit at punk rock shows.  I used to consider it a crappy night if I didn’t get punched in the face.
