Apparently people are doing this tag quiz thing. I'm not very good at these. I'm like the guy from High Fidelity who can't figure out what his top five records are. I read too much into it.

Five Snacks I Enjoy

-Sweet tea
-Broccoli
-Ramen noodles
-Sushi
-Seriously, I don't eat.

Five Bad Habits

I have to limit it to just five!?

-Being rude, acerbic, sarcastic, patronizing, arrogant, holier-than-thou, obtuse, argumentative, judgmental, snobby, and otherwise a joy to be around.
-Spending huge amounts of time on projects I'm too shy to allow to come to fruition.
-Over-editing copy that richly deserves it. This is part of the first one but it's very specific.
-Having ideas and not writing them down.
-Deciding to do it later.

Five Biggest Joys

-When someone notices something I did well, and says, "hey, you did that well."
-Fingertips
-Stage rush (haven't had it in a while, sadly)
-Words or music or pictures or whatever that come out perfectly, effortlessly.
-Finally showing someone that I am, deep down, a well-loved old plush rabbit.

Five Things I Would Never Wear Again

All of these are lies. Given that something is in my closet, I will wear it. So these are clothes I don't like, defined specifically on a case-by-case basis.

-Something I'd rather not wear but do anyway because I've got it: heavily branded stuff (A&F etc)
-Something I hate to wear but do anyway because sometimes I wait too long to do the laundry: mismatched socks.
-Something I have never, and will never, wear: a mottled gray sweatshirt with a picture of wolves, kittens, or horses on the front.
-Something I refuse to wear because it's so goddamn trendy: a hat. Seriously, think about it. Be it a trucker hat, a retro-20's fedora, or a fake-old frayed SKI RESCUE cap, a man's hat is invariably a faddish status symbol.
-Something I once wore and would like to wear again, but am afraid to, as I've had a bad experience: contact lenses

Five Favorite Television Shows

I don't like television very much. These are the few, the proud, the ones I'll actually tune in for if I know they're on.

-The Daily Show
-CSI
-South Park

Five Fictional Characters I Would Date

-Rogue from the X-Men, if only it weren't for the whole not-touching thing. Given that circumstance, the second-hottest mutant would probably be Storm. (Both of these are the comic book versions. Anna Pacquin is too emo and Halle Berry sucks. Famke Janssen, on the other hand...)
-Rosa Saks from Kavalier & Clay
-The Bride from Kill Bill
-Pussy Galore from Goldfinger
-Death from Sandman -- it's kind of ridiculous that I have two comic book characters here, but fuck it, Death is hot.

Nerdy note: If George Lucas had bothered to do something productive in the first two prequels, like come up with a proper female Jedi character, she would be in here. But he didn't. Bastard.

I still can't believe I just did this. But then, I did have time to kill. Right, that's my excuse.
