Welcome!

Welcome, whether you're new to my stuff or an old reader, to Farfalla (previously Coming Later, lately Ooh! Shiny!). The butterfly imagery, in addition to being just plain adorable, is indicative of the blog's changes over the past year or so, but no worries; I'm having as much fun as ever and I hope that's apparent.
I hope you enjoy, and as always,

5000 Survey: Part 9!

Part Nine
801. How often do you change your mood in a day?
A lot. I tend to start out happy and then something ruins it but it gets better but then something is stupid but then it’s all good.




802. When you ask people how they are doing you actually care about their answer or is it just polite?
Depends on the person, but I’d say 98% of the time I do care.

803. Would you consider yourself to be very polite?
Yes and no. I can be polite, but then there are times when I think I’m being perfectly polite and people disagree. Also sometimes I don’t care.

804. Do you like movies and books that involve nuclear holocaust?
NO. I absolutely hate those types of movies.

805. Have you ever had a lucid dream (a dream in which you knew you were dreaming and had complete control over what happened in the dream)?
Yes, but it tends to work against me. I go, “Ok, this is a dream, so if I THINK he’s coming after me, he’ll come after me—“ and because I thought it, he does. Also, the dreams I know I’m dreaming I usually fall a lot.

806. Have you ever had a flying dream?
Yes.

807. Have you ever had a lucid flying dream?
No.

808. What's the oddest law you ever heard of?
Mmm… some of the old testament laws are pretty funny. Also isn’t there a Muslim law that you can’t pee facing east? Pretty much any religious law with weird reasoning is hilarious.

809. What is the ultimate way to connect with another person?
Just kind of lay it all out there and bare your soul.

810. Can you be intimate with someone without touching him or her?
Yep.

811. Can men and women ever really be 'just friends' with no interest in anything more?
Yes, I do believe that. But I think that there either needs to be a large age difference or orientation differences to keep one or the other person from at least briefly considering it.

813. Are you addicted to this survey like drugs?
No. I’m addicted to my prescription drugs and when I go without them I’m dizzy and nauseous and can’t see. When I go without this survey I’m just bored.

814. If your significant other wanted to wait for marriage could you hold out or would you leave them (or would you cheat)?
Of course I would and will wait.

815. What's the longest sentence you can make using only words that start with the same letter as your first name?
Uhm… Corbyjane can’t cook cuz cooking can combust, causing conflagration. That’s as far as I got.

816. If you had a theme song what would it be?
“Disneyland” apb Kerry Butler.

817. Are you cranky?
Right now? Yes.

818. Which group generally annoys you more, people older than you, or people younger than you?
Depends. Younger people annoy me because there’s a lot of experiences they haven’t had yet (like having zero money or zero food) and they don’t understand that. Older people sometimes annoy me because they constantly tell me I’m not an adult, but no one wants to tell me when they will actually consider me an adult.

819. Do you refer to older people as old farts?
Uhm, no.

820. Do you refer to younger people as the kids?
I refer to my siblings that way, but that’s because that’s what we called them.

821. Which is better: Poems that everyone can relate to or poems that are intensely personal to the author?
Either’s good. Depends on who you are.

822. Is it worse to be too hot or too cold?
Too cold.

823. Are you so flexible that you can put your feet behind your head?
Yep!

824. Would you enjoy reading fairy tales written about robots?
…no?

825. Is smoking a turn on or gross?
It’s disgusting.

826. What is the one way you wouldn't want to die?
Any way that isn’t dying painlessly in my sleep.

827. Which would look sillier on you: A cowboy hat or a Rasta hat?
Rasta hat. I can rock a cowboy hat, thank you very much.

828. Would you rather have a job doing something indoors or outdoors?
INDOORS.

829. Would you rather learn more about human nutrition or meteorology?
Human nutrition, I guess.

830. Have you ever taken honors courses?
I was homeschooled, so no. But I did test into advanced English in college.

831. What do you think of crop circles?
…they’re circular?
