So...what's up with the 101 in 1001?

On 10.1.09, I started my 101 in 1001 list. I can't believe I started that list more than a year ago...good gracious. Anyway, I was doing really awesome at first...then life, job change, Air Force and raising a toddler got in the way. I've done some things on the list - and have technically finished a few things - but I never really updated it. And a few things need to be altered on it...which will happen eventually.

It's not that I've lost my motivation to do the list - I check it a lot to see what else I can start doing. It's just that I haven't devoted as much time to it as I should have. So this year, I didn't really set New Year's Resolutions. My main goal is to get as much of that list knocked out as possible. So, to jumpstart that, I'm going to answer more of the 5000-question survey. The last time I answered questions from it was almost a year ago. Eesh.

651. Do you think that it would be a good idea if people served in the army, navy or air force for a while before they were allowed to vote? Yeah...no. Serving has nothing to do with politics. You can still be uninformed, even if you're in uniform.

652. If you were required to do this to vote, would you? Yes. Voting is important to me. If I had to do it, I would.

653. Do people often give you weird looks? When I say random crap, yeah. :P

654. Do like Japanese cooking? Yes yes. Yum!

655. Do you care for stray animals? Not really - I don't really see stray animals anyway.

656. Which animated movies have you seen and what did you think of them:

A Charlie Brown Christmas One of my faves. Ever.

A Garfield Halloween Haven't seen.

The Secret of Nimh Love it!!

The Last Unicorn Haven't seen it.

The original Lord of the Rings cartoons I've seen the movies...not the cartoons...

657. Are you ambidextrous (equally good at using both hands)? Nope.

658. Do you always say; “bless you” after someone sneezes, or do you hesitate? Most times, I say "Bless you."

659. If you and your friends could go away for 2 days over Halloween weekend where would you go? Somewhere far away from spooky stuff, haunted houses, haunted buildings...somewhere far, far away.

660. Which of these animated movies have you seen and what did you think of them:

Watership Down Haven't seen it.

As the Wind Blows Think I might've seen it...

Grave of the Fireflies Haven't even heard of this.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas One of my faves. Love it.

Spirited Away Nope.

661. Do you feel that society is male dominated, female dominated, or neutral? Male dominated. Definitely.

662. What words offend you? It's not really words...it's the context that they're used in.

664. Have you ever looked into different religions? I have...but don't practice those.

665. Which ones have you looked into? Just Christianity in general. And being non-denominational.

666. What do you think of Satanism as a religion? To each his/her own. I don't see an issue with it.

667. Do you like it better when your classes are taught sitting in rows or sitting in a circle? Rows. Circles mean I have to look at everyone. Rows, I can focus on the teacher and know people are either looking at the teacher or the back of my head.

668. Have you ever read your own tarot cards? Nope.

669. Which ones do you like better, Star Wars episodes four, five and six, or episodes one, two, and three? Four, five and six. I mean, I like one, two and three [mainly because Hayden Christensen is in them], but the original are the best.

670. If you scream in outer space does it make a sound? I would say...no.

671. If you saw The Queen of the Damned did you want to be a vampire or a Goth afterwards? Never seen it. Should probably watch it.

720. You know that shaky feeling that you get when it's all coming to a climax, and everyone involved is breaking into the good kind of cold sweat, working as individuals and at the same time as a single force of energy, and it all meshes together, and for a brief moment, you're holding your breath and tingling all over, and after it's done you're on an explosive and dizzying high for the rest of the night?
