it's my blog, and i can meme if i want to.

Due, in part, to the fact that one of my co-workers expressed a fascination with knowing weird things about me while we were talking tonight and, in part, as a tribute to another co-worker, from whom I took this, because I think it would make her smile in the midst of an incredibly painful week, I decided that this was the right night to revert back to 2002 or so and fill out a survey...*dun dun dunnnnn* (Also, it's my prerogative to give 20 different answers for each question).


Enjoy...Or don't.

First at 5, in order to make sure Joe was awake.  Then again at 9:15, because I turned off my alarm at 7:30, which was when I was supposed to get up.
2. How do you like your steak?
Medium.  But, I usually prefer prime rib with horseradish and au jus.

Oh my. Could it really be "Valentine's Day"?  Has it really been 8 months since I was at the movie theater? Surely I'm forgetting something.

Community.  Also, Chopped.  And Glee.  I'm bad at this game.

29. Any pet peeves?
Use your blinker when it's appropriate, and then turn it off when you no longer need it.  Wave to me when I let you merge.  And please, PLEASE get off my tail.  Also, stop passing in the right.
