Testy

[eggwards]

Last weekend was totally boring. I stayed in the house for the most of it and cleaned, and watched some movies and stuff. Totally bored.

Over a week ago, I posted one of those "friends test" things. I tried to make the questions difficult, more things that I thought you might not know about me. It seemed to work, as no one got over 6 of the answers correct. Tom (invisiblebear) and Josh (fuxupyo) were the top guessers, with the Chrises (oakleycub) and (dedos) tieing for second.

So, here's the answers:


1. What was my first college major?

Theater Arts (10 points)5
Psychology (0 points) 7
Music (0 points) 4
Journalism (0 points) 5
Social Work (0 points) 2

And it took me so long to come out. Surprising, no? I found that I really wasn't that good of an actor, plus i wanted to go into Television, not stage acting. There's a difference.


2. I was blonde and thin, once. When did i go to the overweight side?

Sixteen (0 points) 1
Five (0 points) 1
Twelve (0 points) 17
Eight (10 points) 2
Nine (0 points) 2

Yeah, I started putting on the pounds when I was eight, and my hair kept getting darker through much of my early years.

3. My first concert was back in the 80's. Who did I see?

Duran Duran (0 points) 7
The Police (10 points) 5
Culture Club (0 points) 3
The Monkees (0 points) 3
The B-52\'s (0 points) 5

The Police concert, in 1983, was my first trip into Houston without my parents, too. I saw them at the Summit, which is the basketball arena next to where I currently work (and is now a large church). I've seen all of the other acts in later years.

4. I actually taped a TV show, and own almost every episode. Which one?

Misfits of Science (0 points) 3
The Six Million Dollar Man (0 points) 4
Green Acres (0 points) 1
Bewitched (0 points) 5
The Flash (10 points) 10

I'm missing one episode, and I keep hoping that Sci Fi will show it again. I'd love to have a copy of Misfits, and I'm surprised that Bewitched isn't on DVD yet. I am a big fan of Green Acres, actually and the $6M Man was a source of youthful imagination for me and my friends.

5. The dressing room/office for my high school Drama teacher was nicknamed what?

OZ (0 points) 2
The Twilight Zone (0 points) 7
M*A*S*H (0 points) 3
Seasame Street (10 points) 4
Broadway (0 points) 7

I'm not sure what caused them to name that dressing room Sesame Street, but it was decorated with paintings of previous musicals the school had done. I personally got to do the Finian's Rainbow art. The other dressing rooms had the other names, but Sesame Street was the office.

6. What's this year's TV obsession (thanks Tivo!)

Smallville (0 points) 7
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (10 points) 7
ER forever! (0 points) 1
Trading Spaces (0 points) 6
Dr. Phil (0 points) 2

I've seen almost every episode of Buffy, thanks to FX. Now I'm on to Angel. My love for Trading Spaces has waned, and I have never seen Dr. Phil.

7. What foreign language did I learn, but have forgot?

Spanish (0 points) 7
French (0 points) 5
German (10 points) 8
Latin (0 points) 2
Russian (0 points) 1

I've never had a reason to use German. I would have done better if I learned Spanish (due to the area I live in) or French (because I've been to France and Quebec).

8. I wasn't always a Tuba Player. Which did I play first in band?

Clarinet (0 points) 4
Drums (0 points) 0
Saxophone (10 points) 5
Trombone (0 points) 4
French Horn (0 points)10

Thanks for not thinking I was a drummer. I had to take up sax for a few years because my Middle school band director wouldn't let me play a brass instrument due to my braces. I hated sax, and jumped to tuba in college.

9. Where did I NOT go this year?

Montreal, QC (10 points) 13
Waco, TX (0 points) 3
Wisconsin Dells, WI (0 points) 6
Austin, TX (0 points) 1
Chicago, IL (0 points) 0

I went to Montreal in 2002, and it was the site of my first gay bar experience. i also went to their gay pride parade and festival.

10. Final Question: How far is it from my apartment to Chris' house?

313 miles (0 points) 1
248 miles (0 points) 3
237 miles (0 points) 7
268 miles (10 points) 10
294 miles (0 points) 2

Since I live on the west side of Houston, and Chris lives in North Dallas (40), the distance is a little longer than from downtown to downtown. the drive takes around 4 hours.

Sorry you were so bored this weekend. I would have been w/o my video games. (Prince of Persia goodness)

And for a random, out-of-the-blue moment: I just wanted to say thanks for re-kindling my interest in LJ. (And that you had cute guys at your New Year's party!) :)

Bewitched, according to my sources, is a possibility on DVD as soon as the movie version comes out, with Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell. That's 2005, and it wouldn't surprise me if it's not a full-length thing. But, as they say, the devil's in the details. Which aren't out yet. :-P
