Slow as molasses

Well, work today has been incredibly slow. I was out yesterday, so I was really thinking today would be a big "catch up" day for me. Guess not. I suppose the news HAS to slow down once in a while. But, it's REALLY slow right now.

So, I decided to fill out one of those time-killer surveys that people usually post on Facebook. So, here ya go for what it's worth (this one's called the A to Z survey):

A

ANY particulor reason your taking this survey? Bored
ARE you at school, work, or home? Work
AGE at which you 1st drank alcohol? 21

B

BOUGHT anything from Spencer's? Yeah, I think a couple gag gifts in middle/high school.
BRAVEST person you know? Probably anyone that's ever been skydiving. I've always wanted to go, but have no guts.
BLONDES or Brunettes? Obviously brunettes. I have only dated one blonde, and actually two red heads, which was weird.

C

CRAPPIEST band? Nickelback. Hands down.
CAN your dad beat you in a race? That depends on the distance. My dad is shocking when it comes to running. He's got great stamina for a big guy. In a short distance race, though? I would kill him.
COULD you bungee jump? This kind of falls into the skydiving thing. I would LOVE to, but I don't think I could. I guess if someone was behind me with a gun, I could.

D

DRAWING or painting? I would say painting, if I'm going to enjoy art at a museum. But if I had to do one, I would say drawing because I have a better chance of it actually looking like something.
DOES your bedroom need cleaning? It's pretty clean for the most part.
DO the drapes match the curtains? Considering I've never dyed my hair, you can draw your own conclusions there

E

EVER swear at your parents? I've cursed in front of my parents, but I don't think ever at them.
EARN enough to pay the bills?To pay them, yes. To buy nice things? No.
EXORCIST or SAW movies? I think the Exorcist is a great movie, but I never saw the Saw series.

F

FLOWERS or chocolate? that's hard because I'm not a big fan of either. I guess flowers because they won't go straight to my hips
FUNNEL cake or Elephant Ears? Funnel cake
FIRED from a job? Not yet. :)

G

GIVING or receiving gifts? I love giving gifts. You can ask David. I often buy him things weeks in advance and then can't wait to give them to him
GOING to the movies or a play? If they were the same price? A play, hands down.
GONE to the bathroom this hour? Yes, I'm trying to re-hydrate after being ill

H

HORSES or cows? I like eating cows better but hanging out around horses better
HEAVY or light-weight drinker? Heavy, I'm half Russian and half Italian. I was bred to drink.

I

INSTANT or regular coffee? I don't drink coffee. It's bad for you, ya know...

J

JORDAN or Tiger Woods? Tiger Woods
JETTA or Saab? I once dated a guy because he had a Jetta. I think Saabs are weird looking
