45 miscellaneous things

From Saintseester:

What’s your name spelled backwards?
How about my preferred handle backwards: Epoigra

What did you do last night?
Looked through the mail, blogged, ate, bathed the boys. Usual stuff.

The last thing you downloaded onto your computer?
A Glen Campbell B-side that I was delighted to discover was available on iTunes.

Have you ever licked a 9 volt battery?
Well, it’s more like touching one’s tongue to it than licking, but yes.

Independence Day.

What are you wearing?
Gray gym shorts and a greenish-blue Tennessee Aquarium T-shirt.

How many cars have you owned?
My current daily driver is number seven.

Yes.

Do you have cable?
Yes.

What kind of computer do you use?
Gateway desktop, Dell laptop, and Palm PDA.

Ever made a prank phone call?
Of course.

You like anyone right now?
Like, in an eighth-grade note-passing sense? Sure. Her name is Lea.

Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving?
I would probably do both, though I have little drive to do either.

Furthest place you ever traveled?
San Francisco.

What’s your favorite comic strip?
I can’t remember the last time I looked at the funny pages. The last ones I read regularly were Calvin and Hobbes and The Far Side, neither of which has been drawn for several years. The latter is probably my all-time favorite.

Do you know all the words to the national anthem?
No. I know all of the words to the first verse, though.

Shower, morning or night?
Morning.

Best movie you’ve seen in the past month?
Death Proof—the first half of Grindhouse—and Eyes Wide Shut (in HD).

Favorite pizza toppings?
God’s pizza has, in addition to the base sauce and cheese: sausage, onions, and mushrooms.

Chips or popcorn?
I like Tostitos Scoops with picante sauce. I love popcorn.

Which cell phone provider do you have?
AT&T.

Have you ever smoked peanut shells?
No.

Have you ever been in a beauty pageant?
No.

Orange juice or apple?
Orange. Rather have V8 than either of them, though.

Who were the last people you sat at lunch with?
Melanie.

Favorite chocolate bar?
3 Musketeers.

Who is your longest friend and how long?
My dad. 36 years and change. Outside the family, it’d be a tie between Charles and Heather. 20 years.

Last time you ate a homegrown tomato?
Maybe a month ago. The difference between homegrown and store-bought is staggering. Store-bought tomatoes don’t taste like anything anymore.

Have you ever won a trophy?
Yes. I owned northern Alabama at Scholars’ Bowl. If you were a player and graduated high school around here between 1986 and 1990, chances are I was on a team that absolutely whipped your ass at least once.

Favorite arcade game?
Bosconian. I also liked Tron, Time Pilot, Moon Cresta/Eagle, Spy Hunter, Tac/Scan, and Tempest, more or less in that order.

Ever ordered from an infomercial?
Not that I can recall, but I wouldn’t swear I never have.

Sprite or 7-UP?
Sprite, though these drinks are both sugar-containing and caffeine-free, and I prefer the opposite on both.

Have you ever had to wear a uniform to school/work?
Yup. Catholic school and Taco Bell.

Last thing you bought at Walgreens?
A pillbox.

Ever thrown up in public?
Yes. I threw up all over my brand new Sebagos at Spring City Cafe, a year or two out of college. Alcohol was, uh, a factor.

Would you prefer being a millionaire or finding true love?
Absolutely the latter, but I’ve got it. Working on the former.

Do you believe in love at first sight?
Not a lick. The idea of love at (literally) first sight is ludicrous.

Spongebob or Jimmy Neutron?
No opinion. I barely know who the former is, and have no idea who the latter is.

Did you have long hair as a young kid?
Not as a young kid, but it was halfway down my back in college.

What message is on your voicemail machine?
“Hi, this is Bo. I can’t answer the telephone right now, but please leave your name and number and I’ll return your call as soon as possible.” Yeah, that’s really it. I’ll go have my saltines and tap water now.

Where would you like to go right now?
I would like to hike as much of the Amazon as I could in six months.

Whats the name of your pet?
The dogs are Brenna and Bailey. The cat is Oliver.

What kind of backpack do you have, and what’s in it?
I don’t have a backpack. I have a black leather fanny pack that I take on trips, though. It usually has a camera in it.

What do you think about most?
That’d be the butt, Bob.

  1. Our answering machine message is even MORE boring: “we can’t come to the phone right now. Please leave us a message and we’ll return your call as soon as we’re able. Thanks”

    Snore!
