The "older Person" meme. Kiped From... Everyone

[jamesq]

The "Older People" Survey (Meant to be completed by those ADULTS out of high school). Tired of all of those surveys made up by high school kids?

'Have you ever kissed someone?'
'Missed someone?'
'Told someone you loved them?'
'Drank alcohol?'
Then try this survey!

1. What bill do you hate paying the most?

My recent speeding ticket, because I hate being reminded of when I was dumb.

2. What's the best place to eat a romantic dinner?

Syn in Victoria, or Wild Wood in Calgary.

Never. Like madeileen I can't puke, even when I want to. Last time was when I was twelve and had pnemonia.

4. When is the last time you got drunk and danced on a bar?

A danced a jig in the street outside Ma's Clubhouse the very first time I drank. Never up on a raised surface though.

6. What do you really want to be doing right now?

Puttering in my garage.

7. What did you want to do growing up?

I wanted a short sleeved, button up shirt and all the others were dirty or far more ugly then the simple hawaiian print on this one.

They haven't gone up much since I started driving. To me, they've always been this expensive so I don't care. High gas prices also mean job security when you work in the oil patch like I do.

11. If you could move anywhere and take someone with you, who and where would it be?

The nice part of Vancouver, with all my friends who were willing.

12. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?

Make sure the alarm is set because you have to get up early tomorrow.

Boxer briefs - the best of all worlds.

15. Favorite style of underwear for the opposite/same sex?

Wee little panties and a camisol

16. What errand/chore do you despise?

Mowing the lawn, because I feel it's a pointless waste of time. Frankly if it weren't for the expectations of my neighbors, I'd let it grow.

No. I might volunteer somewhere else though.

long, intellectually stimulating conversations.

21. A secret that you wouldn't mind everyone knowing?

I write porn. I've even been told it's good porn.

I spent my reward on ale and whores! Watching movies I already have memorized over and over again while wrapped up in a big blanket with a tub of salty, buttery, popcorn.

Houseguest. And now you all know my secret shame.

Pirates!

33. Cops or Robbers?

crime scene investigators!
