(no subject)
Have you ever driven an electric car? Nope.
Do you live in an area that is prone to tornadoes? No. A tornado damaged the roof of a high school a town over from where I lived, a year or two after I graduated. That's the only local tornado incident that comes to mind.
How many closets does your house have? I have two closets in my bedroom, one in my bathroom, a pantry in my kitchen, and a coat closet, for a total of five.
When was the last time you saw someone you went to high school with? I'm still friends with one guy that graduated a year ahead of me, and I saw him last week. From my actual graduating class, I randomly bumped into one guy in a liquor store 15 miles from where we grew up about 5 or 6 years ago.
Have you ever eaten moussaka? Yes, that's a diner favorite around here.
What breed was the last dog you saw? A buddy of mine has a potcake.
How long have your parents been together (or how long were they together, if they no longer are)? They've been married 44 years this June. I think they met around a year and a half before then.
What has been your most epic cooking failure? When I still lived with my parents, I was pan-frying chicken and forgot about it. One side was burned to a charcoal.
Do you read other people's survey answers on here? Depends on how much time I have.
What's your bedtime routine? Take my meds, watch videos on YouTube, do FB/LJ/IG, sleep.
Do you agree with the saying 'distance makes the heart grow fonder'? Meh. As long as I know they're somewhere and I hear from them from time to time, I'm good. I don't need to be super connected.
Have you ever been to Mexico? No. I was supposed to go to my cousin's destination wedding in Mexico, but I had just started my job and couldn't take the time off.
Do you have a bad temper? Nope.
When was the last time it stormed where you live? We had a heavy rain this past Tuesday-ish which was just enough to cause one of our local flood-prone rivers to flood in one of its usual spots.
Do you ever fact-check the things you read on the internet? I like to think that I can judge whether an article (even one that is from my favored viewpoint) is real or not. Things that come across as opinionated usually don't pass the smell test and get passed right over.
How long would it take you to walk to the nearest store? Pizza place right next to my development. A small strip mall with a large drug store about 10 minute walk. Kmart and a supermarket about 1 mi/ 1.5 km.
What five words best describe your mother's personality? I don't like judging other people. You'll just have to meet my mom yourself.
Do you know any transgender people? I have one friend that is FTM.
What's your dream job? I'm not a guy with big dreams. I'm already happy with my job.
How old were you when you got your first smartphone? I think 36?
In the morning, do you eat breakfast first or brush your teeth first? Brush teeth.
What's something you had to learn the hard way? You can't get people to like you. You have to learn to love yourself, and then people will like you.
What sort of window coverings do you have in your living room? Wood slat Roman window shades, red drapes.
Has anyone in your life ever treated you abusively? I've had domineering and verbally abusive people in my life.
What's the weather like right now? It's night, light rain, about 53*F/12*C
How long has it been since your last breakup? I don't really date because of mental health, so probably about 10 years ago since I last tried dating. I've had a friends-with-benefits type thing for a number of years, but that kind of wound down (still friends though).
Can you concentrate well while listening to music, or do you find it distracting? If I'm doing mindless work or chores, I need music. If I need to concentrate, the music goes off.
What's the name of the amusement park closest to your house? Six Flags Great Adventure.
Do you like The Rolling Stones? Meh. I kind of like their albums from '68-'74, but not really a big fan.
What was the last single item you spent over $100 on? New mattress.
What's something you've been struggling with lately? Getting to work on time. Motivating myself to do things. (But those are perpetual things, not just lately)
What was the last caffeinated drink you had? Caffeine.
