A very longgg survey!

I'm double stealing this survey thingie! I took it from Trinity after seeing it referenced in a review! So there ya go.

STUFF THAT YOU PROBABLY KNEW ABOUT ME ALREADY BUT UHH WERE AFRAID TO ASK!

1) Name and nickname(s)? Name: Elizabeth. Back in my Obsession days, people used to call me Obsy. Now most people call me Liz. BB calls me Elle Bear, which is what Lizziebear has evolved into over the years. Old Friend used to have all kinds of lovely names for me, including Elopsabreast, but that's just another story completely.

2) Favorite place you have lived? I've pretty much only lived in Dallas, and near Dallas. But my favorite place, aside from where I grew up and lived for 17 years, was the condo my mom and I had in North Dallas. It was a cool place, centrally located, and it was just a really nice house to come home to when I'd come home for the weekend. Ahhh, Dallas.

3) Favorite vacation or trip you've taken and why? I've been many places in the past 5 years because of BB's wanderlust, and I have to say it was Las Vegas in December/January. I think it's obvious why. I am destined to forever think of Las Vegas as where I saw Axl.

4) Favorite books or the last book you read? She's Come Undone, Good in Bed, The Firm, LA Woman, etc. I like to read.

5) Favorite movies? Jerry Maguire, Sum of All Fears, You've Got Mail (the first half, anyway), Twister, Pulp Fiction, your mom.

6) What would you do with a million dollars? Pay off my bills, the Dallas Public Library, all Blockbusters in the area, etc. Buy my mom whatever she wants, take BB on the biggest road trip ever, etc. Buy a house. Start saving for our kids! Awww yeah.

7) Are you a morning or a night person? Neither. I hate waking up and I'm never productive during the night. I'm an afternoon person. From 2-6 pm is when I'm most productive.

8) What does working out mean to you? It's a matter of pride for me. I do it everyday. I love to sweat. I love knowing that I'm doing something productive and good for my body. A sense of accomplishment is always a good thing.

9) Have any pets? Their names/species? I have pets by proxy. There's a whole bunch of dogs in the family. There's Nico, a Husky with blue eyes. There's my baby Charlie, a cocker spaniel/golden retriever mix, there's Dylan, a golden retriever. There's 2 anatolian shephards at my dad's farm, Lilly and Rudy. Lots of puppies!

10) What kind of car/truck do you drive? A Toyota Rav 4. Green. Here's a picture! It just had a flat tire the other day, but other than that, it's fully functional.

11) Prefer living in a small town, small city, or big city? I kinda live in a small town now, but I come home every weekend because that's what I do. I prefer a big city, because that's where I grew up and you know.. lots of stuff happens in bigger cities.

12) Last concert you attended? Oh lordy! I do like this question! That would be this one, the concert that ends all concerts. But I'm really lying, because I went to 4 concerts for work after that one. So really, the last concert I went to was Deryl Dodd. But Axl is more exciting, don't you think?

13) Favorite games to play? Scrabble, Blitz21, Blackjack, Wheel of Fortune (only at the Eldorado hotel and casino in Reno, though), Scattergories, Yahtzee, Monopoly. I'm a game whore.

14) If you could live anywhere, where would it be? Right now it's a toss up between Austin and Las Vegas. The only way I'd move from out of the Dallas area is if me and BB broke up, and believe me, once I graduate and if we break up, I would seriously consider getting the hell out of here. I'd move to Austin. I really love Austin. But anyway.

15) Snow/ski slope or sandy beach/boats? Snow skiing is fun, but I don't really enjoy it much anymore, cuz my knees don't seem to like it.

16) Last place you flew by plane? Weirdly enough, my answer is the same as Trinity's. It was to Miami, Florida, for Christmas vacation.

17) Favorite holiday? In the past couple of years, it's been Thanksgiving. I really love going to my dad's farm and seeing all the puppies and my relatives I only see once a year. I dig it.

18) Top 4 hobbies? Travel, computer whoreness, writing, puppies.

19) Favorite 2 restaurants in your city/town? El Fenix, Keller's (a drive-in hamburger joint.. it's really good stuff).

20) If you could have an alternate career/profession, what would it be? An athlete. Or an actress. I would sooo love to be an actress, make $10 million a movie, because yeah, I'm just materialistic like that.

21) Favorite TV shows? Friends, My So Called Life, the Practice, Philly and Undeclared (both recently cancelled, much to my dismay), Boston Public, WWE Confidential.

22) Favorite childhood memory? The only thing I can think of right now is when I was in choir in 6th grade, and we had our christmas concert, and it was really cool because I knew it was my last year at a school I had gone to for 6 years, and everything was just really special at that moment.

23) Any sports you like to play? I fancy myself a decent basketball player. I really enjoy playing basketball, and when I was younger I kinda wanted to pursue it, but I always felt like I was too late to do that. I will always have unpursued Basketball dreams. *sigh*

24) Who are some people you really admire (famous or not-so-famous; living or deceased)? Ma mere, mon copain, tu mere! See, that was all in french. Aren't you impressed? I said, my mom, my boyfriend, and your mom! Also, Axl, Benjamin Franklin, Julia Roberts, John Adams, Eleanore Roosevelt, and Tom Hanks. I don't know.

25) Favorite quote or saying? I know it's hard to keep an open heart, when even friends seem out to harm you, but if you could heal a broken heart, wouldn't time be out to charm you?

26) If you had a month off (from school or work or parenting) what would you do with the time? Pathetically enough, catch up on reviews, or, probably better, go on a long road trip. To Vegas. Or Canada. Vancouver, preferably.

27) What are some things you hope to accomplish in your life by the time you are 65? See the world, successfully raise some kids and keep a marriage together, have a succesful career of some magnitude, have affected somebody in some kind of way.

28) What's the most outrageous thing you've ever done that most people don't know about? Wee-elll.. I once took a pregnancy test in an interesting way.. I couldn't pee at all, so I had sex with my boyfriend because that usually made me have to pee, and then after I saw the pregnancy test was negative, we had sex again. Without a condom. Smart, I know. The things I did when I was 17.. you just don't want to know.

29) Any major regrets in your life so far? Ohhyeah. Not making good grades in high school. Spending so much time on the computer. Not going out of state or at least more than 45 minutes out of my city to school. Letting my friends slip away. Not telling my math teacher off when she told me that "she was talking it over with some other teachers and said, 'you know, Elizabeth always tries so hard, yet she knows she's never going to pass'" (that scarred me for life, seriously!), and such.

30) What are some hopes/dreams you have for next 5 years? Graduate, get engaged, get a good job, get married, have at least one kid, earn some notoreity, maybe go to graduate school, start working on my master plan of becoming a millionaire. Etc. I can do all that, right? It's going to be a busy 5 years.

31) What is one area/thing/topic you would like to know more about? HTML would be nice! And umm.. French. I don't know, I'm tired.

32) What are some of your biggest worries/fears/phobias? Ever since I saw Arachnophobia like 10 years ago, I've been afraid, deathly afraid, of spiders. I hate them. I also fear abandonment. I fear getting shot on the highway, especially when BB drives because he has such a crackwhore case of Road Rage, and I fear my mom dying. I can't think of that day.. it'll be the worst day ever in the history of ever.

33) The happiest times for you are when? I'm with my puppy man! And when I have Saturday to myself, to see movies and go to Borders and have a nice relaxing day. And mostly, all of my senior year in high school, as well. Woop! Also, when I am with my friends, which is rare. But when we all hang out together, I can't remember why I ever choose to not hangout with them. They rock!

34) What annoys you the most? People who abuse puppy dogs. Athletes who do weird things to their wives/girlfriends (yes, Allen Iverson and Al Unser, I'm talking to you!), really hot days, the band Rush, who I have had this really unnatural hate for since the beginning of time. I don't know why I hate Rush so much, but I just can't stand them! "Today's Tom Sawyer" my ass! Grar!

35) What are some things you can't do that you wish you could do? Lose weight, be more social, finish this survey, get female love, go to sleep right now, move out of my dorm.. I could go on, but I really don't feel like typing for hours.

36) What are the six words that best describe you? Lazy, potential, creative, capable, loving, passionate.

37) Favorite fortune cookie fortune you've gotten? I dunno. My mom got a fortune like 8 years ago that had numbers on it, and she's used those for her lottery tickets ever since. It hasn't worked out for her yet, but she knows it will someday.

38) What is your most prized possession? My puppy man. Marf!

39) What are some things you are grateful for? My puppy man, BB, my family, such.

40) Describe your feelings about your apartment or condo or house. My dorm sucks. It's ugly and it's small and it's going to be torn down soon. I'm moving in December and that will be a glorius day, my friends.

41) When are you at your very best? After I work out. Actually, I don't know. Never, I guess. I'm too damn lazy.

41) 42) Do you need a little sleep or a lot of sleep? 8 hours does just fine. But I gotta get 8 hours!

43) Do you like to cook? I do, but I don't get to do it as much as I would like. Living in a dorm, and all.

44) Do you like to dance? Ehhh.. yeah. Kinda. Sorta.

I'm just going to finish this tomorrow. It's 2:26 am and I have lots to do tomorrow. So yeah, I will come at you later! Bah.
