WHAT MAKEUP DO YOU WEAR?: Like, everything, when I am out in drag that is. Or not.

FAVORITE FOOD: Italian

WORST FEAR: not succeeding, or failing myself – in other words, not living up to my own standards

DO YOU HAVE A JOB?: Shit no, I need one, bad…

WHAT COLLEGE DO YOU WANT TO GO TO?: Well, maybe NDSU, seeings as I am going there already

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF...

BILL CLINTON: I’ll spare you my thoughts on him. Thank me later.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT: a sham. Lust, yes… but love? Naw…

ABORTION: Touchy subject! In some instances, I could see it as being ok. But.. I’d be one to put the child up for adoption, myself.

TEENAGE SMOKING: Not good. You sure as hell wouldn’t catch me doing it. But if they want to screw themselves over, so be it.


EATING DISORDERS: what’s to think of them? Obviously, they aren’t good. It sucks that our society has the general belief that thinner is better… Unfortunately, it’s going to take a long while before that "ideal" is changed.


RAP: not my cup ‘o tea.

MARILYN MANSON: Smart man. Sure knows how to make money! Creative… I dig that.

GUY BANDS: One of the few things that can give me goosebumps in a matter of seconds from the lameness oozing off of them… what kind of country do we live in, a country that produces such vile evil?

DEATH: "Death is but a cobweb we brush through" – Morgan Llywelyn

JERRY SPRINGER: Can be funny sometimes – but it’s one of those things where you step back and wonder what’s happening to us when we begin to feed off of other people’s misfortunes…

RAPE: like eating disorders… what’s to think about it, you know? It’s bad.


SUICIDE: The coward’s way out.

SOUTH PARK: TIMMMMAY!!!!

GOD: don’t get me started…

BEVERLY HILLS 90210 OR DAWSON'S CREEK: Neither… they’re not my bag, baby

APPLES OR ORANGES: I hate fruit! (except for bananas I guess) I’m the odd one, banish me

CHOCOLATES OR FLOWERS: When? I like chocolate more, since I can eat it.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LOVE SONG?: I listen to progressive rock music mosrly. In that entire genre, there are maybe like two love songs… so I really don’t have one.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BREAKUP SONG?: Breakup song? Huh? People have breakup songs?

SILVER OR GOLD or PLATINUM: Silver, if I am buying it. Platinum, if I am receiving it.


OTHER STUFF..
