jesse_dylanWhy can't I get enough of these? These are fun, but the music surveys are even better. Feel free to do this in the comments or in your own journal. Or not at all.
1) Are you a morning or night person?
Both, which means I'm tired a lot. I would have said "night" in the past before I got a job that required me to get up at 7 every day. I'm generally more social at night, less anxious/weird. Generally... Of course, if I get up at 7 every day and I'm tired, I'm not much of a night person either. Maybe I should have said "neither."
2) Which do you prefer, sweet or salty foods?
Well, the British would say "sweet or savory," and savory includes more than just salty stuff; it would include like... donuts and biscuits (British biscuits) and the like. Anyway, both, but savory.
3) Ninjas or pirates?
The Secret of Monkey Island!
4) Ninjas vs pirates, discuss.
WHO CARES
5) Autobots or Decepticons?
Stop rebooting '80s and '90s franchises into gross action films directed by Michael Bay.
6) What was your favorite childhood television program?
Which part of my childhood? Muppet Babies and Scooby Doo when I was really young, Roseanne when I was a bit older, and Star Trek, Xena and X-Files after that
7) Are you a collector of anything?
Nah, I have too much crap as it is.
8) If you could be any animal, what would you be?
a human
9) If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I'd like the power to make people fart uncontrollably at will. This would have many applications, although if I used it too intensely, someone might blow out their colon or spread a fecal disease or something.
10) What is usually your first thought when you wake up?
I'm usually just happy not to think of her when I first wake up, and then I think about how long it took before I did think of her and congratulate myself that it takes longer and longer. I suppose my usual first thought is "I DO NOT WANT TO WAKE UP YET. I DON'T WANT TO GO TO WORK."
11) What do you usually think about right before falling asleep?
I am probably thinking about how late it is and how little sleep I'll get and how it'll still be okay. But when I wake up, it does not feel okay. Or, I just read until I am too tired to think.
12) What’s your favorite color?
Green!
13) What’s your favorite animal?
If I didn't make it snarkily clear enough in a previous question, humans are animals, not that they're my favorite. I don't really have a favorite. I like all non-humans, I think.
14) Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets?
I think we are conceptualizing it entirely wrong and demonstrating some serious carbon chauvinism. That said, it seems like a mathematical impossibility for there to be no life outside of Earth.
15) Do you believe in ghosts?
I neither believe or disbelieve. I want to believe.
16) Ever been addicted to a video/computer game? Which one(s)?
I would not be able to list them all. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is my favorite of all time. Final Fantasy IV is an old favorite.
17) You’re given 1 million dollars, what do you spend it on?
Invest it in something ethical and FUKKIN RETIRE MAN.
18) Have any bad habits?
Yes.
19) Which bad habits, if any, drive you crazy?
My own? I guess my compulsive eating drives me crazy, because it makes me overweight.
20) List 3 of your best personality traits:
Urgh. That's hard. I'm a good listener, normally compassionate, and creative.
21) List 3 of your worst personality traits:
That's easier. I have some serious problems getting myself to interact with people sometimes. I am needy and insecure. I am jealous and overprotective.
22) Have any celebrity crushes?
I wouldn't say "CRUSH" really, but there are some I have thought were interestingly attractive over the years. I saw a thingy today of Emma Watson supposedly dressed as a boy, and it was saying something about gender roles. I thought she looked good. ... ... I mean, I knew it wasn't a boy, but if a boy looked like that, I'd still think the boy looked good even if I knew it was a boy. Hm. Maybe I am being too honest. UPDATE: Never mind. She won the first "gender-neutral acting award." It had nothing to do with her state of dress. So I guess she wasn't dressed like a boy or gender-neutral. However, to accept a gender-neutral acting award, she ought to have dressed gender-neutrally. Or worn clothing made entirely of fruit.
23) List 1 thing you wish you could change about yourself:
Is it a list if it's only one thing? And how can I choose only one thing? It is overwhelming to think about. I wish I wasn't so easily overwhelmed, wish I was fit, and wish I didn't have such a hard time with romantic partnership.
24) Any tattoos or piercings?
Nah, I'm not really into that. I did have my ears pierced.
25) What’s the first thing you notice in the opposite sex?
It depends upon the person, doesn't it? If someone has just had a limb severed and is spurting blood, you'll probably see that, although you might be distracted by their howling and horrified face. So yeah, face. Then severed limbs.
26) What personality traits do you look for in a partner?
Tolerate me?
27) What personality traits do you dislike in other people?
Rigid thinking, judgmentalism, bigotry, lack of a sense of humor, boring or disgusting humor (When I say "disgusting humor," I don't mean fart jokes or whatever... I like vulgar and somewhat rude humor, but some humor is just gross for the sake of being gross and is not funny.)
28) Are you mostly a clean or messy person?
Uh, mostly clean, I think? Hopefully?
Do you see yourself getting married in the next 5 years?
Huh? This one isn't numbered? At this point, I don't see myself ever getting married.
29) Are you mostly a clean or messy person?
I ALREADY ANSWERED THIS ONE YOU CAN'T FOOL ME
30) If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
I don't mind as long as it's natury and not so full of people, don't have to commute, private, quiet... I'M NOT PICKY. ALSO IT NEEDS TO HAVE GOLDEN SPIRES.
31) If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go?
There are so many places I'd like to visit. I don't even know. Maybe Pennsylvania. Or British Columbia.
32) List 5 goals on your life’s to-do list:
1) Don't set goals 2) Convince others not to set goals 3) Learn to poop out a turd that says "goals" and flush it 4) Take away people's goals 5) Shout "NO OTHER ANIMAL MAKES GOALS EXCEPT HUMANS" into 5 faces
33) Name 1 regret you have:
ever making a goal
34) Name 1 thing you miss about being a kid:
FREEDOM. (Although, looking back, I didn't have freedom. Or money. I guess I just miss not having a job.)
35) Name 1 thing you love about being an adult:
porn
36) What’s your favorite song of the moment?
The person who took this survey before me was SO dorky, like guys, you ain't even know.
37) What’s your favorite song of all time?
Maybe "Iris".
38) What’s your favorite thing to do on a Saturday night?
DO SURVEYS NO ONE WILL READ.
Hang out alone, typically. It might be okay to do something with one friend, or a small group. Going for a walk or a hike would be nice. My friends always work on Saturday nights, and they sort of ignore me too.
39) What’s your favorite thing to do on a Sunday afternoon?
Uh, same as above, I guess. I like to be outside, but I am usually too tired and/or anxious or depressed.
40) Have any hidden talents?
What does that mean, hidden? I can digest food, and no one has ever seen it happen. Is that a hidden talent?
41) You’re about to walk the green mile, what do you have as your last meal?
I'd go on a fukkin hunger strike, you a-holes! I'm goddamn innocent!
42) What would be your dream job?
Not having a job--doing something that does not ever feel like work/job. Maybe something outside. I always wanted to be a writer, or a songwriter, or a musician. I mean... I am those things... but it would be nice to have an income from it. I wouldn't even need a big income.
43) Which would you rather have, 100 million dollars or true love?
Well, being as I don't think true love exists, and I know money does, I might take the money. Also, "true love" can be bought with lots of money. However, if by "true love" they mean, I don't know, the ideal romantic relationship, that kind of thing... true love.
44) If you could have 3 wishes granted, what would they be?
This is silly. No one should have that kind of power. I was going to attempt world peace and all this stuff, but why is that my responsibility? Come on, humans; get it together! No one is going to make three wishes and fix it for you. You made this mess, now fix it.
45) Ever wish you were born the opposite sex? If so, why?
SERIOUSLY, the person who answered this before me... ohmigod. She said she sometimes wishes she'd been born a man because men have cute clothes. Wha? Anyway, no, I don't wish that, but I do think it would be fun to feel what it's like to be a woman. I also think we put way too much emphasis on gender.
46) Name 1 thing not many people know about you:
I can't really think of anything fit to print. Maybe that I sing, write songs, and play guitar. Or that I'm depressed. People don't know what I'm feeling or thinking, and if I tell them, they don't normally give me any kind of helpful reaction, so typically I keep it to myself and listen all day to the thoughts and feelings of others instead.
47) If you HAD to change your name, what would you change it to?
I tried to get people to call me Dylan once, but no one did it. I'm fine with Jesse. I don't know what I'd change it to. Who cares? I'd probably try to make something up. I've always liked the name Simon. I gave myself a Japanese nick-name once, in 2005. Kamijitsuzai, which means, literally, "God exists," which is also what Jesse (Yi-shai) literally means. Ironic for someone who is agnostic against their will. Anyway, it was Kai for short, or Kai-kun. It's easier for Japanese folks to say than Jesse.
48) Do you believe in the afterlife?
I neither believe nor disbelieve. I want to believe.
49) On the topic of abortion, how do you feel about cookies?
I neither believe nor disbelieve.
1) Are you a morning or night person?
Both, which means I'm tired a lot. I would have said "night" in the past before I got a job that required me to get up at 7 every day. I'm generally more social at night, less anxious/weird.

Date: 2017-05-13 03:39 am (UTC)I don't know why I like doing them. While I'm doing them, I feel really connected and peaceful. I think it just takes me back to 1998 or something, when the internet was kind of a new thing, and it was so much easier to have friends (that I never met) and talk about myself (that people read and got annoyed or just never read).
I'm glad we're friends. You help me forget how sad/anxious/icky I feel, and one day I'll just forget entirely.
