(taken directly from
aretha, who found it on somebody's
bme page. i have a filter for multi-recipient emails, so sending one out myself seems hypocritical. too bad, though, as i really dig these things.)
Hey everyone... here's one of those questionnaires that I found myself compelled to fill out.
What facial feature do you find the most attractive on others?
eyes, by far.
Would you vote for a woman candidate for president?
of course. i would've voted for victoria woodhull.
Would you marry for money?
in, like, a green card situation? sure. in, like, an anna nicole smith one? nope.
Have you had braces?
i still have some, even. i kinda quit going to the orthodontist, and none of the dentists i've gone to since seem too inclined to remove 'em.
Do you pluck your eyebrows?
no.
Do you ever cut or hurt yourself?
like o.j. simpson, i'm always getting unexplainable cuts on my hands.
When was the last time you had a hickey?
i don't remember. i can safely say it was a good while ago.

well, my
job depends on 'em, and without my job i would eventually starve to death. or just get a different job.
Do you use ICQ, AOL Buddy list etc...?
52483482/kookbox/dzhos--but no, i use
trillian. i'd encourage other windoze users to do the same.

no.
Do you remember being born?
of course not. i'm not convinced it's possible to do so. putting the phrase 'remember your own birth' into google produced 24 results, the vast majority of them either related to
