back in the day

do you remember... way back in middle school, when everyone used to fill out those silly surveys about themselves, because it was the coolest thing to do and all of your friends did it too?

i do.

i always posted them on my xanga, and i'd always try to answer each question with a funny response so people would get a good laugh at them.

Do You...

1. Believe in God? sure no

hah. i laughed.

4. WHAT SPORT WOULD YOU SAY YOU ARE BEST AT?
the only one i do - swimming. unless you don't think swimming is a sport. then i'll have to say chess.

way to hate swimming, punk.

17. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU STARTED FILLING THIS IN?
eating dinner and picking my nose. just kidding.

there's gotta be a reason why i actually wrote this. aside from making it up.

21. DO YOU OWN ANYTHING LEATHER?
wallet, belt. maybe a whip in my closet.

sigh...

but of course, every now and then i'd take my time and fill one out pretty seriously.
