But everyone else is doing it!

[hkellick]

You
What does your name mean?: I think Howard means "Watcher" in Old English. My online name is a bit more obvious (if you know the necessary song)
How old are you mentally (as in are you mature?): I'm ashamed to say I've matured some lately. When I need to be (when in professional mode or when people need me to be serious) I generally act my age. I can still, however, digress into a 5 year old boy, however.
Describe yourself in 5 words: Evil Cookie Stealing TMBG Fan
What are your worst qualities: My pride, generally clueless about things I shouldn't be, My righteousness (both a good and bad quality), my stubborness, my appaling typing and spelling abilities, unerring ability to hold a grudge, general lack of tact and diplomacy
What are your best qualities: kind and caring, a good friend, ability to cheer people up, analytical mind, honesty
How long does it take you get get ready in the morning: Half an hour if you rush me. Fourty-Five minutes if I'm not in a rush, so I can browse the paper, email and pet the cats.
Sleep
Do you dream at night?: Yes, I think so.
Do you remember your dreams?: Sometimes I do, most often I don't.
Describe one: I once dreamed that there were Monty Python tryouts at my house and I was trying out. I was trying to sing TMBG's "Whistling in the Dark" but couldn't remember any of the words.
What time do you wake on weekends?: As late as I can before I get woken up by the phone, my brother or the cat patrol.
Do you sleep with one pillow or two?: Two

School
Do you like school?: When it's not sucking the life out of me, yes
Why/why not?: I enjoy learning new things.
What's your fave subject?:Water Quality classes
Most hated subject?: History and English. Dislike them both.
Do you have a fave teacher?: My favorite teachers were probably my high school teachers. I have a few, but the one I'm most partial to, at the moment, was Dr. Moslow, the calculus teacher. I was in Math 4 and BC Calc at the same time, did well in both and when my mom asked how I got 86 in Math 4 and 93 in BC Calc, he shrugged and said "Because he's Howard" which.. does sum it up pretty well.
Ever had a crush on a teacher?: My mom swears I had a crush on my fifth grade teacher.

Friends
Do you have heaps of friends?: No. I have a few really good friends and a few more people I'm friendly with.
Do you have a best friend?: Not really. I have my few good friends and I GUESS they'd count as best friends. I guess I don't think of them that way, though. Not anymore.
Do you have more guy friends or more girl friends?: I think it's ABOUT half and half..
Do you ever get annoyed at any friend?: Oh, yeah! =P
Have you ever lied to a friend?: I try not to. That said, I probably have.
Have you ever stolen a friends boyfriend/girlfriend?: Never stole. An old friend gave me one of his girlfriends though. Not gave so much as... hey, we're breaking up.. do YOU want to date her?

Family
Do you like your parents?: I get along great with my mother. I don't like my father, though. He still does stupid things that end up screwing and hurting my and my family. How can you like a man who does this, not once but a few times a year?
Ever run away from home?: No. I got kicked out once, but I never ran away.
Ever thought about it?: A couple times, but I never did it and I CERTAINLY wouldn't now.
Do you have any siblings?:Two brother. Marc, the "rabbi" drug-dealer and Josh the musical superstar
Do you feel your parents spoil you?: My father DID spoil me until he left my mom. Since then, my mom hasn't been able to afford to... she would have if she could have. It's a mostly moot point, now that I can pay for my own stuff :)
Do you not get along with any of your family?: To put it nicely... no. I get along with my father now and then, but I despise his wife (and she despises me). And I can't stand my dad's parents.
Do you have big family get togethers ever?: Defining family as my mother's side of the family, sure... all the time. Holidays, Musicals (we're all going to see Josh on the same day, I think) and often during the summer, we all get together. My father and some of his family come in on really special days like bar mitzvahs and graduations, but generally there's a distance between us (thank goodness)

How long have you been together?: N/A
Ever done something stupid to impress them?: N/A

Sex

Do you believe that a person shouldn't have sex before marriage?: That's for the couple to decide.

Religion
Do you have a religion?: Yep. I'm a solitary eclectic Wiccan.
Do you practice it i.e. go to church?: I don't practice as much as some would say I should. Don't form circles ever Esbat and such. That said, I'm not at all uncomfortable about it.
Do you believe in God? I believe in a Divinity, neither male nor female. I believe that there's at least a grain in truth to the numerous gods and goddesses written about in our history and mythology and that some if not all were reflections of the same Divinity.
Do you believe in Jesus?: Yes, I believe Jesus as what the history books says he was.. a rabbi with radical views. I don't think he was the son of god, just a very wise man.
Do you believe in Satan?: I believe in Satan only as something other people believe in and which might exist simply due to the amount of belief. I don't think he's the prime force behind all the evils of the world, though. I don't even believe in him myself.

Gotten into a fight?: Yeah, but only to defend myself from the neighborhood bullies.
Are you more innocent or guilty?: I'm a sweet innocent little pixie *flitter* ;) OK, so not so innocent...
Have you ever had to look after someone who was a drug addict?: Not look after, per se... keep an eye on to make sure he didn't steal any more of our stuff, yes.
Are you racist?: I guess it's how you define racism. As kareila said in, I THINKrhayden's journal jut recently, we all have a tendency to distrust those not like us. I've never done anything based on my distrust, though. I'm hypersensitive about reverse racism, though, which seems to lead people into thinking I'm racist.
Are you discriminatory to anyone?: I don't think so.
Do you have an open or closed mind to other peoples beliefs and feelings?: I try to be open-minded. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes a stubborn streak inside me wins.

Are You...

Logical thinker or lateral thinker?: Lateral, I guess. People comment often how they have trouble following my train of thought.

Looks
Are you happy with the way you look?: Eh. I often wish I were more handsome. It's part of why I'm dieting and working out.

Do you wear makeup regularly?: Oh yes. All the time ;P
Do you have a large wardrobe?: Nah. I hate buying clothes. I just wear what's comfortable... year in and year out.
