80 Questions
Do you watch the Gilmore Girls? Only when Logan isn't on it. I'm glad they shipped him overseas. Maybe his plane will crash and we won't have to watch it anymore.
Have you ever enjoyed listening to Jack Johnson? Many times. I look forward to enjoying his music again in the near future.
Have you ever seen or enjoyed watching the O.C.? I loved it until halfway through this last season, when it inexplicably got really, really bad.
Do you have one or more Britney Spears C.D.? No, and I'm proud to say that I have never owned one in my life.
Do you regularly watch the news? No. I get my information from various news websites. I'm a big fan of breitbart.com, sploid.com, and perezhilton.com.

King of the Hill? Not really
Seventh Heaven? I watched it for a few months while I was in grad school. But I got bored with it.

Have you ever watched a little kid's show when you were over 12? I worked in day care for 10 years. What do you think?

The Necessary Love Questions That Aren't So Necessary
Have you ever pretended your crush was with you when they werent really? When I was young. I had/have a healthy imagination.

An autobiography? My life isn't that dramatic.
Have you ever spent over an hour thinking about nothing but nothing? I don't think so. I have spent hours in thought about real things, though.

Earrings or a ring? Earrings
Commitment or casual dating? Um, how about casual until we get to the point that we're ready to make a commitment. In general, though, I don't waste my time. I won't go out with someone just because they ask me. I have to think it could go somewhere. Sorry, I'm picky.

Do you have a comforter on your bed? A big hypoallergenic one that I got for Christmas. Now if only I had a duvet cover for it.....
