1. weather – not a chill to the winter, but a nip to the air.
2. eggs – hard boiled with BACON

4. showers – warm and quick
5. sex – often as i can get it
6. parties – full of friends and food (xmukkah is coming…)

10. kisses – impromptu/spontaneous
11. cars – get me from point A to B until i live somewhere with motorcycle friendly weather

13. music – classic rock-journey, boston, kansas, bon jovi
14. bed – hard as a rock…no soft mattresses for me.
15. airplane seat – window to look at all the wild blue yonder
16. sunday afternoon – outdoors if warm, watching movies if cold
17. steak-nonexistent
18. vacations – the words “death-defying” come to mind
19. coffee – seasonally
20. friends -varied, but with common ground
21. porn -see rule 34 of the internet
22. books – spy novels at the moment.
23. workouts -bike rides, and walking with the dog
24. movie endings – love seeing the bad guys win
25. gadgets – shiny and with lots of buttons and functions
26. boobs -ya know, i am really not that picky in this situation
27. pizza – lactarded, so cheesless, meatless…erm, i guess just bread
28. girl’s pubic hair – what a strange question…i believe there is a country somewhere named for it…
29. oysters -in shooter glasses
30. video games – fps right now resistance, and fighters
31. chicken – lemon and garlicky
32. milk -lactarded, milk need not apply
33. humor – puns, corny, offensive, go ahead make me laugh
34. computer desktop – photos from my travels corresponding to the season
35. ice cream – damn these survey folk are obsessed with dairy
36. dirty talk -graphic
37. peanut butter – skippy, smooth. eff jelly, it detracts from the flavor
38. bagels – toasted with bacon
39. snacks -pita, hummus
40. women – girly, but still willing to do typical guy activities

Taken from lovesporks, because I liked the idea, and have nothing of medical significance to post about at the moment
…..

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don’t speak often or ever) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me.

It can be anything you want – good or bad – BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.

When you’re finished, post this little paragraph in your Xanga and see what your friends come up with.

–

put yourself in the mindset like we’ve met before! maybe we already have, or you desperately want to hang out with me-here’s your chance, show me what we’d do! Best stories win a chance at me trying to crash on your couch if i come interview in your state

Til then, I have boards studying to get back to…12 days

Tagged by MadisonLinh. I will leave to those of you who know me to determine how accurate you think this is

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you
are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you
will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that
usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend – you
are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more
open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking
for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right
person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might
that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The
opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that’s why you’ll always
have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about
choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You’re a practical person and will choose a secure
job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important.
Find a regular job doing just that and you’ll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at
the career you would like to have in case you don’t succeed. Don’t give
up when you haven’t yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending
time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find
solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you
learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust.

Fair warning…anything I write for the next couple of weeks will be mostly fluff pieces. Nothing of substance, though the occasional diamond in the rough might pop up you never know. Good luck to any of my fellow meddites who have exams left

Hmm…looks like i have no life. I prefer to think of it as I am well educated in pop culture

tune in tomorrow for hopefully another story update.

Ever notice how whenever i say i will not be posting on xanga for a while, i suddenly come back and start doing it more often? Is it the universe’s attempt to just be perverse with me?

Anyway, time for a new game. Given that i have managed to amass a few new readers (averaging 1 new sub a month! w00tsauce me!) every so periodically i try and give you all a chance to take a peek inside the warped psychedelic funhouse i call my mind. The rules of the game are as fellows

1. Ask any question you want of me by leaving a comment (and non xanga subscribers can comment too now!)
2. Anything and everything is fair game, but one question per customer
3. I reserve the right to protect other’s identities in my responses
4. Questions can be submitted from the date of this post until midnight friday may 25th.
5. Answers will be posted in a forthcoming entry

You may be asking yourself-Josh, why would you do this? What could you possibly have to gain?
THIS IS MADNESS!

let’s just say i am trying to keep myself honest and balanced in this crazy mixed up world

-J

Since I haven’t posted one of these in a while. How do I let the big things pass me by? By focusing on the small things

It’s the small things in life like…

…opening up the menu at a new restaurant you are trying

…a warm sunny day after a long cold winter

…friendly sarcasm.

…free drinks at the starbucks you study at every day.

…taking a photo and realizing it came out better than expected..

…rembering something that amused you as a child, and realizing it still amuses you.

…late night AIM conversations.

…scratching mosquito bites and/or itches.

…cooking a meal for a friend

….lying on the grass staring up at the clouds

…getting a thank you when it wasnt expected

…knowing your self image matches what your friends think of you

…the feeling right after finishing any physical activity

…the occasional afternoon where there is absolutely nothing you need to do and nowhere to be

…toasting with friends

…cadbury eggs

…talking with friends you haven’t seen in a while

…getting comments on an entry (hint hint )

…sliding around on a tile floor in socks

…the smell of gasoline at the pump

…flipping a coin

What are some of the small things that make YOU happy?

“The man who smiles when no one can see is truly happy”

-J

If you read this, even if I don’t speak to you often, post back a memory of me.

It can be anything you want, it can be good or bad, just so long as it happened.

-J

Another survey, stolen from dean this time. nothing else of interest to say at the moment

100 Things You May Not Have Known About Me…

-J

In another break from thailand posting (almost done, don’t worry!)* here is a fun survey i took from enamorcontigo (and i found our pic steph, i will upload it later)

*Why do i feel the need to keep defending myself about my slow pic posting? do any of you people care? And yet, i still do. *shrugs*

anyway…

My Visual Profile:

Moods: Easy Rider

The kick of the city appeals to you like nothing else. It makes you feel alive. You can see beauty in the most inhospitable environments. You are street smart and quite self assured. When it comes to art, you appreciate flair and precision. Highbrow and in the know, you’ve got an eye for fine detail. As for music, for you, it’s all abotu memories, joining in, singing along to all your favorite cheesy songs. You are fun, easy going, and your tongue is firmly in your cheek. Your choice of treat reveals a simple side to your character-you are easily pleased! You grab a little time for yourself – whenever, and wherever you can. You find a little refuge in the most unusual of places. Always taking life how it comes and living in the moment, you never get fazed by life, you just breeze through

Fun: Escape Artist

You love physical activity – You’ve got a real spirit for adventure. Keeping a clear head and healthy body makes you ready for whatever life throws at you. For kicks you like to indulge in your great passions. You are equally happy spending time alone or in company, and your drive and curiosity will take you all over the world. When it comes to holidays, you see them as the perfect chance to further yourself- to learn more about the world around you- you like to be immersed in a completely different world and would be really bored just sitting around on a beach. What grosses you out? you like things to be clean, neat and smelling sweet-that’s not too much to ask, is it? (*actually, i picked the picture of feet, because feet disturb me, but hey that last is true too ) Forever slipping off, getting away from the rat race, and recharging those batteries you are independent, thoughtful, and know yourself well.

Habits: New Wave Puritan

Clean and pure- your choice of drink (tea) shows that on the whole you care about your health and make sure you’re putting the right stuff in. As for the home, you are traditional: you invest in quality and history. You like your home to be as stylish as you are. Practicing the art of self discipline, you like things done simply but with an eye for detail

Love: Love Bug

You’re a bit of a softie. Love is unconditional and loyal. When you think of freedom- you think of living for the here and now. You’re pretty fearless and take any opportunity given to you

Want to check your visual DNA? http://dna.imagini.net/friends/

On the whole, i would say pretty accurate-what think you, my loyal followers?
