Good grief. I'm so bored I've decided to answer a survey. Taken from Matt who took it from Athena.
What is your name?
JM
If you had been born a member of the opposite sex, what would your name have been?
Hmm. I wouldn't know. Joanne?
Would you name a child of yours after you?
Hell no. My name (Jan Michael) is weird. It's strange hearing people call you by the first part of your name ("Hi Jan!" Good Lord.)
What's the way people most often mispronounce any part of your name?
Ji-Im, Je-em, John (for Jan). I guess Michael's too common.
If you were to become famous, would you drop your last name (like Madonna, Cher, Roseanne)?
No. I like my last name, thank you. Keep your grubby hands off.
Do you believe in the traditional view of Heaven and Hell?
Yes. I'm Catholic.
Do you think God has a gender?
No.
Do you think science counteracts religion?
No. Science is about reality; religion is about faith. Don't expect religion to explain the real world, and don't expect science to explain God or His existence (or non-existence). They're two separate things.
Do you believe in organised religion?
No. Christianity was supposed to be a personal religion, experienced at a very personal level, with a personal God.
What words instantly make you laugh?
No words come to my mind.
Do you ever dance to music when nobody's watching?
Yes, but only if I'm in a really good mood. Otherwise, I just tap or sway. Oh, and I try singing, but I'm tone deaf.
What is/are the worst song(s) you have ever heard?
Pop. Bubblegum pop. Anything you can hear on the radio of a bus or jeep. "I'm Like A Bird". What the hell is that about?
What song(s) do you wish you could understand a little better?
Free jazz. Heavy metal. (Okay, they're not necessarily songs. Sue me.)
What song(s) are constantly in your head?
Caffeine Jolt Jazz Radioactive Sago, Freddie Freeloader Miles Davis, a song by Wolfgang from the Acoustica album that I don't know the title to.
What song(s) do you think describe your personality best?
Err. None. Can a song describe the complexity of a personality (good God, that rhymed.)
If you were to serenade the object of your affections, which song(s) would you use?
Can you say "I don't sing and I can't play jazz?"
If the object of your affections were to serenade you, what song(s) would you hope he or she used?
I'd rather it be a surprise.
What movie(s) do you love that nobody else seems to?
I'm too conventional. A lot of the movies I like everyone else seems to. Sorry, no answer.
Do you agree with the idea that sequels are always worse than the original?
Definitely.
Who's your favorite Star Wars character?
Chewbacca.
What kind of movie do you think there should be more of? More socially relevant films. Films that make you think at the same time as entertaining you. I haven't seen one yet, so if you know of a film that fits my description, email me.
What movie(s) do you simply not understand the appeal of?
Anything involving the bizarre.
What's your favorite kind of cheese?
I'm not a cheese person.
If you knew exactly what went into Chinese food, hamburger meat, etc., would you still eat it?
Yes. I can eat anything. Edible.
Do you ever feel guilty eating meat?
Should I?
Mac or PC?
PC. At least I can fiddle around and mess things up.
How much do you actually care about the inner workings of your computer, as long as it works?
I'm a computer geek. 'nuff said.
Do you ever begin preferring IMs to other forms of conversation?
Hell no.
Do you find you're different talking through IMs than face-to-face or on the telephone?
No. I'm the same assinine me.
Do you actually know your Social Security Number?
No.
Ever thought there were too many numbers floating around in our lives?
There are too little numbers floating around in our lives.
If someone you had no interest in dating expressed interest in dating you, how would you feel?
Err. No thanks.
Could you carry on a relationship with someone with the same first name as a family member?
No.
What's your opinion on sex without emotional commitment?
Depends. If the sex is good, why not?
Have you ever been romantically attracted to someone physically unattractive?
No comment. Next question.
Do you think the opposite sex finds you good-looking?
I'm too dense.
Would you be willing to give up sex in exchange for an emotional commitment you knew would last?
Yep.
What song, movie, etc. do you wish you could memorise?
Any Thelonious Monk solo. If I could play that from memory... whew.
What movie makes/made you cry?
I'll be honest. Scent of a Woman. Okay, it got a tear in my eye.
What book makes/made you cry?
None. I don't get that emotionally involved in a story.
