CJ had this exciting survey thing on his Xanga page so I decided to stick it in here for everyone to experience my exciting answers as well. Wooh. Maybe I'll have Wayne fill one out for his journal as well. Yes, that's an excellent idea; I'm so glad I thought of it.

matches or a lighter: depends what I'm doing. Matches are good for single candles, lighters are good for birthdays. Matches are good for lighting fires when you don't want to be too close. Lighters are good for lighting things that take a while to light. I also like those fire stick lighter things, the one with the long metal tube in front. Those are good.

been on a talk show/Game show: No. If anyone calls me to say they want me to appear on a talk show I'm gonna say no. You know it's always something bad.
been in a fight: Once I got into a fight with my sister. Actually she attacked me so it was more like self defense. I got whooped.
ridden in a fire truck: Being that my dad's a captain in the fire dept you'd think I would have but I don't think I have. I've climbed all over them though.
been on a plane: More times than I can count. When you live 2500 miles from the nearest lass mass you catch a lot of planes. Also I used to work for an airline. Must have been on at least 25 planes a week.

A deep sleeper: Yes.
A Good Dancer: Only if you're a drunk sailor.
Shy: Nah, I'm just a snob.
Outgoing: If you answered the above question about being shy, wouldn't that answer this question about being outgoing?

Wasn't that exciting? You can go look at CJ's results and leave him a comment thanking him for this fun while you're there.

In other exciting news. Ryan and his ship have left. In fact, according to the news last night, the whole Nimitz carrier group left, even though the Nimitz was supposed to be leaving today. I miss them already. They won't be back here until September so now I'll have to watch the news everyday until then, just to try and keep up with what's going on. At least there's email but I know Ry can't tell me much about what's they're doing or where they are.

I'm going to think of some things to send him while he's away. I think I can send care packages and stuff so I'll have to keep my mind and eyes open for good things. I know I can make him some cookies but I'll have to make sure they can stay fresh for a long time since I don't know how long it will be until he gets them. I'll have to get my food sealer back from Lil' P so I can vacuum pack everything for the ultimate in food freshness. They sell those bags for the machine at Costco which is great. They also sell the machines but I already have one so I don't want to go buy another one. Of course with my luck it won't be there anymore (with Lil' P) because for some reason everytime I ask him for anything of mine (ie DVDs, videos, money, books, etc) they are GONE!

It's raining today. I was going to do some weeding this weekend since Ryan left but then it started raining as soon as they left. It hasn't really stopped. I was also going to wash my car but at least the rain started before I washed it. Maybe I should go out and rub some of the dirt off while the water's flowing. That's the main reason the car's dirty in the first place, from the rain bouncing dirt off the driveway.

W is still sleeping and he really should wake up. He went to bed fairly early last night, at least I think he did. I could be wrong, he might have snuck out to play more video games. I wouldn't put it past him.

Today is March 16th. If Dave and I hadn't broken up (see how nice? I could have said "If Dave hadn't rudely dumped me over the phone, the day after valentine's day, one month and a day shy of our two year anniversary...") Anyway, this would have been five years. That's ok though because I don't think it would have been a very fun five years. No offense or anything, but I'm glad that Dave broke up with me. It's my own fault anyway for not having the (pardon the expression) balls to do it myself earlier. Isn't life funny when you look back on it?

I better move along and go do something more productive with my day. I still haven't eaten breakfast or anything. Or done any homework. Me and Laurie were talking about having some major senioritis since we're both graduating this semester. I only have one class now and it's only twice a week. It's kind of an easy class on top of that which makes me really lazy! I think during spring break (next week) I'm going to just do all my work for the rest of the semester and then I won't have to worry about it anymore. What a great idea! I can start my research next week. It's only a short paper so it shouldn't take much work. In fact I can start right now by checking out possible topics in the online catalog. What a great idea.
