Just a survey. by: MARIAH~! ; @blacksunshine_surveys

1. How did you find out about xanga? My cousin had one when we were in our early teens and she convinced me to sign up! I'm not sure how I came across the survey part of Xanga though. I probably just searched it or something because I was doing surveys before I even signed up for a Xanga.

2. What would you say is the creepiest film you've ever watched? What genre is the film? Human Centipede definitely takes the cake. It's not so much creepy as it is DISTURBING, but that's the first movie that came to mind. Is Beyond Fucked Up a genre? If so, that's it.

3. In what ways have you changed for better within the past couple of years?  I've just finally come to terms with myself and stopped listening to the bullshit and the drama. I live my life for me, not anyone else. I believe I'm also a more mature and responsible person and I don't make as many stupid decisions.

4. What kind of heating do you have in your home?  Propane. I fucking hate it because it's so expensive.

5. Have you ever had to kick someone out of anywhere [ie: a job or even your own home]? If not, have you ever been kicked out of somewhere? Nope, and nope. I've witnessed people being kicked out but luckily I've personally never had to kick anyone out or BE kicked out.

6. If you have netflix, what are some of the best movies/tv shows you've discovered from it? If you don't, how often do you watch tv/movies? I really want Netflix! I honestly don't know why I haven't jumped on board yet with that.

7. Assuming you have a washer & dryer, where are they located in your house? If you don't, where do you do your laundry? It's kind of in a weird spot and it's hard to explain, but here goes. They're KIND of in the kitchen but they're ~disguised by what looks like a pantry.

8. Have you ever had any paranormal experiences? Nope. I do believe in the paranormal though.

9. Is there a certain time of year that you tend to take surveys more often? Usually in the summer is when I do them the most because that's when I'm not as busy compared to all other times of the year. I also do them a lot when I'm on breaks from school.

10. What is the oldest listening device you've ever listened to music on? Did the quality of the music differ? I've listened to music on a record player before, and I loved it. I thought the quality was just perfect.

11. Do you get headaches often? I rarely get headaches, thankfully. But when I do get them, they're really bad.

12. Aside from memories, can you actually remember things you thought about as a child? Some. I think about my childhood a lot, so it doesn't seem surprising that I can remember some of those things.

13. Name something unique about the area you live in. There's a road that goes right underneath the Erie Canal, and it's the only one that does. It was even in the Guinness Book of Records! It's on Culvert Road and it's pretty cool I guess, nothing too special aside from the fact that it's the only road that goes underneath the Canal.

14. What is the first program you ever used to download music on? What do you use now? I believe it was Morpheus. I used LimeWire for the looooongest time until it got shut down. I can't remember which one I use now, but I just convert videos from YouTube.

15. Have you ever completely misheard the lyrics of a song? Oh yeah, definitely.

16. When taking a survey, what subject do you enjoy answering questions about the most? I don't really have a favorite topic. I just like answering questions that require more than a one or two word response.

17. What is the grossest experience you've ever had with food? I've found a bug in my food once. And hair. I can't decide which is more disgusting.

18. If you have wifi, did you name your network? Nope. There's a network nearby called "JesusLovesYou."

19. Tell me an interesting story about your parents/grandparents/whoever raised you. My dad was bit by a snake once, and my mom hooked up with someone from the Goo Goo Dolls but she won't tell me who lololol.

20. Name something you'd like to help others to better understand. Why do you think people have such a hard time understanding said thing? I'm gonna go with gay marriage here. I just don't understand how people don't understand it. Love is love. Things like gender, age, religion, race shouldn't matter. It's hard to say exactly why people are so against it because there are so many different reasons, but I'm sure a lot of those people developed such negative feelings about gay marriage from a book.

Alabama: Do you like the movie Forrest Gump? Sure.

Alaska: Would you rather deal with 30 days of day or 30 days of night? I think I'd rather have 30 days of night. 30 days of sunlight would drive me crazy. I would never be able to sleep!

Arizona: Can you handle heat well? Not at all! I'm miserable when it's too hot to even function. I probably sound ridiculous to those of you who live in really warm states, but where I live, it barely hits the mid 90s here so I'm not that used to really hot temperatures.

Arkansas: What are your opinions on Bill Clinton? I didn't know really anything about politics or Clinton when he was President, but I do know now that he was a way better President than Obama & Bush combined.

California: Who is your favorite actor? Favorite actress? I don't have a favorite actor or actress.

Colorado: Do you smoke weed? What are your opinions on its legalization? I smoke it pretty often, but not every day. I don't have a problem with it, it's just not something I particularly care about all that much. But on that note, I do believe it should be legalized because it's not harming anyone.

Connecticut: Have you ever had a school shooting at your school? No.

Delaware: Are you usually the first to do something, or are you more of a follower? It depends, I guess. I've been known to do both.

Florida: Have you ever been to Disney World? I have! :)

Georgia: Would you consider yourself a southern belle? LOL NOT EVEN CLOSE. I'm a northern girl.

Hawaii: What would be paradise for you? I haven't discovered my paradise yet.

Idaho: What is your favorite way to eat a potato? Mashed or French fries!

Illinois: Did you vote for President Obama (or would you have)? I did vote for President Obama, yes.

Iowa: Are roses your favorite flower? They're one of my favorites, but I like tulips better.

Kansas: Do you like the Tin Man, Scarecrow or Cowardly Lion better? I don't have a preference.

Kentucky: Have you ever been to a horse race? I've been to one when I was a kid.

Louisiana: Have you ever celebrated Mardi Gras? Nope, but it's on my bucket list!

Maine: Do you like lobster? I LOVE lobster. Especially lobster rolls!

Maryland: Have you ever been to Washington DC? I feel like I'm one of the only survey-takers who HASN'T been to Washington DC yet. <-- You're not alone girl, I haven't been either! :)

Massachusetts: Are you smart enough to go to Harvard? I know I'm smart but, realistically, I know I wouldn't be able to get into Harvard.

Michigan: Have you ever swam in a lake? I have! I live right on Lake Ontario :)

Minnesota: Have you seen Drop Dead Gorgeous? Yes.

Mississippi: Do you follow college football? Nah.

Missouri: Have you ever convinced someone to show you their private parts? Well, I'm not a virgin, so I mean... yeah.

Montana: What is the greatest treasure you have ever found? ~*~LIFE~*~. <--- hahaha I love this answer.

Nebraska: Do you eat beef? Yeah.

Nevada: Are you good at card games? Not at all.

New Hampshire: What are your views on gay marriage? It's no different than the marriage between a man and a woman and it's certainly not harming anyone, so I don't see what the big fucking deal is.

New Jersey: Do you watch The Jersey Shore? I've seen a couple of episodes, lets not be fooled.

New Mexico: Would you consider yourself a hippie? No. I feel like this word is so overused and the "cool" thing to be, but it's nothing at all like what hippies were like way back in the day.

New York: Have you ever been to New York City? Would you like to? I've been there a few times and it was alright. I wouldn't want to live there and I'm not dying to go back anytime soon.

North Carolina: Are the Panthers your favorite football team? Nope.

North Dakota: Have you seen Fargo? Nope.

Ohio: Did you watch The Drew Carey Show? Nah.

South Dakota: Who is more interesting: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt or Abraham Lincoln? Teddy Roosevelt, for sure.

Tennessee: Who is your favorite country singer? Miranda Lambert & Blake Shelton :)
