Burning CDs / Dragon Ball / Questions 3101-3150 of 5000

I'm really glad I unfriended Palmer just before I went out tonight: that whole situation was getting quite untenable. He was causing me more trouble than the friendship was worth, so I decided to end the friendship... although I should have fed him some shrimp and such while I had the chance to see if his allergy was real or not. (no, I won't do this in real life to anyone else... heh) There are some things I don't wish to hear from certain people, and that includes details of your multiple boyfriends and girlfriends and everyone approving of everything else that goes on! Seriously, I can live without that. :P At least I got in my final digs, before ending things first... always a great stroke to the ego, that one. :D

After that, I called my brother to see what was happening: they were all busy laughing at Busted Tees. Just before the guys picked me up, I burned my first CD. It wasn't as full as I'd have liked (not 700 MB of stuff), but I did promise my brother some stuff. It had GWAR, AFI, the Dead Kennedys, Cradle of Filth, Children of Bodom, the Buzzcocks, Bad Brains, Butthole Surfers, Dee Dee King, and Fugazi as its content. I'll have to include other miscellaneous stuff on all the CDs that I plan to burn for him. (the stuff that Corey sent me doesn't all fit nicely on eight CDs, yo!) Then maybe I'll get his address and mail it all off with track listings, haha. As it is, he had stuff for me (to reclaim) as well: Eric Clapton's 4-CD boxset Crossroads and Chuck Klosterman's Fargo Rock City: A Heavy Metal Odyssey in Rural North Dakota, both of which he's had for at least two years. I was under the impression that I'd bought him the book for Christmas once, but apparently he bought it for me and then borrowed it. Whatever works!

Nathan and Jon picked me up at 10:10, declaring that they were stuffed from dinner at my mom's. Actually, Nathan was the only person from the dinner that had decided to go for bubble tea: Steph was doing something else, and Eric can't really have bubble tea! On the way over, Jon and I exchanged our stuff while he and Nathan talked about guitar chords. We met Steve, another girl, and Jeremy at Dragon Ball: Nathan, Jon, and I saw Mandy and talked to her and her friend about bubble tea stamp cards / nursing. Since Jon owed me a bubble tea from yesterday, he bought me a Horlicks-peppermint combo. Jen showed up some time later, and we had fun talking about a variety of different subjects. Fellowship, people with babies, three pints of beer, huge Committee meetings about people not feeling welcome / problems, going out after Fellowship like we used to (Sean: "Let's go to Red Robin's / Cactus Club / Daimasu / Boston Pizza!"), people all over the place now, church and the Anglican stance on the environment, people with special diets becoming hermits since they couldn't eat out or go to people's houses without the food that they had to eat (and having relationships with people explored via a balanced documentary), GMO foods, poker, Ty, documentaries about cults, expensive "faith healers," Anime Hell, torrent sites, possible bubble tea flavors, Andy knowing the Dragon Ball owner, how Jon should open up his own bubble tea shop (but he'd eat all the stuff there!), massive orders (a dozen?!) of bubble tea, emo music, Weezer, Death Cab for Cutie, etc. The Dragon Ball owner asked Jon where we were all from, since he always brings a bunch of people with him and stays till the closing time of midnight! This proved true tonight, certainly!

After Jeremy put on his Goretex pants (he needs five-minute advance warning to leave, heh), we left. While Jon ran to the bank to get some money that he owed Nathan, Jen had a cigarette while Nate and I waited in the car. Then I made everyone listen to GWAR while we dropped off Jen and Nathan, and went to UBC's music building to pick up Tally from practice. Judging from a comment Jon made about "that noxious smell," Tally had just finished smoking when we let her into the car too! We discussed the theatrical elements of GWAR, Beavis and Butthead (GWAR is their favorite band!), Empire Records, iTunes, Wreck Beach and those stairs which take 20 minutes to climb down (according to Tally), Jon's thesis on indie rock music and live performance, keeping in touch, etc. Good times with good people, and the last time we'll see Jon for at least four months!


Got these questions from this QuestionClub LJ post by Arthurbulla. I'm going to post the survey in 50-question batches, like the original. No worries there! Five thousand questions and answers wouldn't fit as an entry, anyhow. :P

The only complete copy... you'll have to go around erasing answers.


3101. Would it bother you if your priest, rabbi, or other religious leader (teacher if you are not religious) started wearing a plain black mask all the time? That would be disturbing, so yeah.

If yes, why? Because you can't see his eyes or the expression on his face... gee, you don't even know if you're being watched covertly!

3102. Where do you look for the answers? Friends, family, online...

3103. If you are driving and someone honks at you, does it ruin your whole day? I don't drive, but I'm not so emo that it would ruin my whole day.

3104. If you are driving and you get angry at another driver, do you:

yell at them through their and your closed window? Haha, I probably would.

open the window and yell at them? Nope, could be dangerous.

throw things at them? No, see above.

stop the car and start a fight with them? Definitely not! I don't have THAT much of a problem with road rage!

do something else? I might mumble things at them under my breath, but that's about it.

3105. I'm in the right lane on the parkway. There is an "exit only" lane on my right. A car pulls out from behind the pack into the "exit only" lane. When that car gets to the exit, he is right in front of me... only one lane to the right of me. Instead of exiting the parkway, he tries to creep back in in front of me. I get pissed and honk the horn. He (I keep saying "he," but I couldn't tell) throws up his hands as he slides in front of me. I think this is funny and toot again. He throws up his hands again. I do this about three more times, and each time I toot, he throws his hands in the air. Then my exit comes up, and I have to get off. From the time he got in front of me until I got off the parkway, we drove approximately 20 feet. What do you think about this situation? Very weird.

3106. Do you live in reality, or in your own little world? Reality.

Which one is better? My own little world... reality SUCKS!

3107. Who's your favorite Soprano? Can't say, as I've not watched that show.

3108. Why is there porn geared towards straight men, gay men, and lesbians... but none really geared towards straight woman? Because straight women don't want to see it!

3109. Is there more to being human than chemicals and impulses? If yes, what? Yeah, but I'm not going to list it here. :P

3110. What if all the boys in jail could get out now together? That would be terrible!

3111. If your shoes could talk, what would they say? "I wish I had more shoe friends!"

3112. How many windows are in your house? Two.

3113. Did you walk around your house and count them all? If not, what did you do? No, I can remember my apartment layout easily. My memory's not THAT bad. :P

3114. Do you think people store memories as pictures or words? Pictures.

3115. If you got sent to jail, who would your one phone call be to? My family.

3116. Pick a movie you have seen, and give a two-sentence review about it using the word "go": I think everyone should see the movie Braindead. It's about a town that will GO crazy when zombies sprout like weeds.

3117. Pick a song you like, and give a two-sentence review of it using the word "come": At first, I hated Lords of Acid's Let's Get High. But with time, it's COME to grow on me.

3118. Pick a person you like, and give a two-sentence description of them using the word "lunchbox": I like Helen K. because she's understanding, helpful, and trustworthy. She'd never bring a LUNCHBOX to work... of that, I am quite sure!

3119. What do these 3 words have in common: hippo, camp, us? Original answer: "We are hippos that sometimes go to camp." Stupid annoying idiot. My answer: when you string them all together, you're describing a part of the brain.

3120. If you could save time in a bottle, the first thing that you'd like to do is.. Original answer: "I'm not sure I understand the question. Remember - even though my hair is nowhere near blonde.. I still have blonde moments." Idiot! My answer: The first thing I'd like to do with the time I have saved in this bottle would be to distribute it to those who don't HAVE much time left on this earth. That way, they could say goodbyes and wrap up stuff properly.

3121. Who is the most powerful person in the world that you can think of? The Pope.

3122. If you were designing a mini-golf hole, what would it be like? Original answer: "It would be a hole. In the grass." Uh. You are an IDIOT, Kathryn Rose! My answer: It would have plenty of challenges and sand traps.

3123. Why do you think certain people become targets for teasing in school or exclusion at work? Because they don't conform to society's rules of what is "normal." They might be too fat / ugly / immature...

3124. Why, in essays, is the word "I" not allowed to be used when it is our own PERSONAL thoughts being expressed? Essays are supposed to be factual, and you can't interject your own personal opinion into those!

3125. What song would you like your doorbell to play? Collective Soul's Gel.

3126. Would you rather watch MTV or play GO FISH? Watch MTV.

3127. What is an itch? Original answer: "A scratch." No, you idiot: "a scratch" is something you do AFTER an itch, to get RID of it! My answer: Look it up yourself.

3128. Why did the Holocaust happen? Because Hitler wanted his own Aryan race to take over the world.. he was so racist!

3129. Would you be capable of torturing another person? No.

3136. Is a mouse a miracle? No.

3137. There are alcoholics, chocoholics, and shopaholics. Practically anything can be an "-oholic." What's your -oholic? Chipoholic.

3138. Does heaven have a phone number? Not in the literal sense, no.

If it did, would you call? I'd probably just take the easier way to approach this.

Who would you ask to speak to? Anyone who'd be willing to listen.

What would you say? It's called A PRAYER.
