Getting to know you
About 4 times a year, I get one of these in my email, but I've never really liked the questions. "What's your favorite color", etc. [Yawn]. I've decided to make a questionaire with slightly more indepth questions along with some that probe who you are and a few fun ones to see how you think.
For those interested in a *really* indepth questionaire, try the purity test. This is one, but there are others - just Google "purity test". And "no", I'm not going to tell you what my score was. P.S. there's also a 100 question purity test if you don't feel like answering all 500.
Anywho, take a look at the questions below and answer them by clicking on the "Comments" link. Thanks.

0. Name: Josh the Barber
1. Ever had a crush on a teacher?
Several. (But only a few had a crush on me.)
2. What would you do with 10,000 plastic spoons?
Go swimming in them.
3. Ever request a song on the radio?
Yes.
4. What song, and whom for?
Just that they play something decent for a change!
5. What's the best thing about your current job? (there must be something)
Mostly the level of ridiculousness that we allow the conversation to reach. Nothing is off limits. (And I like being my own boss.)
6. Could you pull the plug on your parents if they were both on life support and in comas?
I would do whatever they wished as long as it was in accordance with the Church.
7. What time of day do you feel the best?
Six in the morning if I woke up at five naturally. (No alarms/baby crying.)
8. Where do you see yourself in a year? Five?
A year: More money.
Five: More children. Perhaps a house.
9. Funniest website around?
Not that funny but mighty educational: www.yodelcourse.com
10. Who will star you in the movie about your life?
I suppose Johnny Depp could do it. Or some unknown.
11. One of your favorite movie lines?
"Thousands of years ago the first man discovered how to make fire. He was probably burned at the stake he had tought his brothers to light..."
12. Everything else being the same, would you rather live on a 100 acre ranch in the country or sky high in New York city?
Take Manhatten but gimme that country side!
13. Question 13! Any phobias or unreasonable fears?
Paralyzing fear of heights. (That's why I love roller-coasters. It makes it scarier.) I also hate feet. And even though it's not a phobia, I hate hearing little kids whining in other languages.
14. Have you named your car? Your computer?
Car: "Ford Expedition."
Computer: "Piece of $H!T."
15. Fold, roll or crumple? You have to just know what I'm talking about here. I'm not going to explain it.
Roll, but very loosely. If you crumple, it may come apart on you. Folding would make it too small. (But it works for a booger.) And rolling tightly presents one of two problems: Too narrow resulting in extra finger scrubbing OR too wide which won't be thorough enough and may result in toilet cloggage. However, rolling loosely covers plenty of surface area, yet contains pockets of air, allowing for a thorough, *form-fitting* cleansing experience.
16. What's your homepage? (When you launch your Internet browser, what page comes up by default?)
Some blank page that doesn't work anymore.
17. A mountain-sized comet will impact the Earth in a week eliminating all life. How will you spend your last week?
I'd probably go to my mom's out in the woods. Or spend a week trying to get there.
18. What do you have more of: books, movies, music?
Music.
19. Where did you think you'd be now when you were in high school?
A famous film director.
20. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I would seem more positive. (I AM positive, but people don't know that.)
