Survey!

Ok, so should I alleviate my creeping bordom by

a. getting pregnant!
or
b. applying to grad school!


You votes will determine my happiness, income and frustration levels, and career trajectory! Democracy has never been so empowering!

3 p.m. edit: Guys, really. Who has a baby because of boredom? Honestly! (in Austin Powers voice).

5 x 7

What were you doing 10 years ago?
Oy. Living with my parents, working at a discount bookstore in the local strip mall, and contemplating the fallout of the Semester of Catastrophic Avoidance. I am envious of Hucpuc’s decade-spanning synergy.

One year ago?
One-year anniversary of my current job, and none too happy about it. To be honest this time is rather fuzzy, 2005 datebook notwithstanding.

5 snacks you enjoy?
Jif XtremeCrunch peanut butter on celery
Pistacios
Medjool dates
Chocolate-dipped baby fingers
Chocolate ice cream with salted almonds and warm raspberry topping.

5 songs you know the lyrics to?
Parents Just Don’t Understand- Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Will always make me think of Canobie Lake Park, 8th grade, and summer.
–Billy Ocean Christ, I’m singing it right now.
King of the Road –Roger Miller Sing this while cooking dinner for your sweetie and then go outconquernquor the world.
Neighborhood # 1 (Tunnels) -Arcade Fire
Take your pick of late-80s hairband ballads and FNX staples.

5 things you would do if you were a millionaire?
-Ensure my parents’ comfortable retirement.
-Buy a house with ocean views.
-Bike around Europe.
-Create an endowment for my nonprofit.
-Hire a hard-ass accountant who would prevent me from spending the rest on coke and $800 shoes.

5 bad habits?
- Everyone’s favorite- procrastination! I should have done this meme yesterday.
- Control freak. Especially cooking, driving, stupid nit-picky stuff.
- Eating when I’m bored. Allow me to introduce the 5 pairs of pants that longer fit. "Hi! We're Tighty, Bulgy, Fatty, Slutty and Lumpen! Fell free to reminisce about how cute you looked in us last year! No, of course we're not staring at your ass! Bye-ee!"
- Willful ignorance mixed with outright denial about the state of my financial affairs.
- Frightening inability to concentrate for any substantial period of time. I blame it on the internets.

5 people to tag?
Everyone I could tag has already been tagged, so here’s a list of blogs I worship from afar:
Patrick I am scared. And also turned on.
Skot Snort-out-loud funny.
Mrs. Kennedy One of the coolest people alive.
The Moose Rips apart everything I can't seem to stop obsessing over.
Michelle She WILL be my friend.
