Dead To Me
1. Favorite scent: clove cigarettes (I love the sickly sweet smell of them and they remind me of college) and patchouli (a lot of people don't like this one, but then again, a lot of people eat a big bowl of stupid every morning)

2. Movie that caused you to take action in your own life: I was 18ish when Dead Poet's Society came out, and while it seems small in retrospect, the movie changed and shaped me in a lot of ways, most notably causing me to take action THAT NIGHT and ask out this untouchable girl. Granted, the relationship crashed and burned a year later, but I NEVER would have thought it would have happened in the first place.

SELF-EDIT: I take back my "small in retrospect" comment. It was mind-crushingly huge at the time and the foundation of my world shook by asking out this popular, untouchable dancer I knew. Huge.

3. Identify with parents or just don't understand them: Used to understand them as they were hip and young, now I just don't get em.. apparently age makes you KRAZEEEEEE

4. Do women wear thongs for any practical reason except to impress men? Conversely, do men drive sportscars to try and impress women?

5. For those of you familiar with ska, is it a music style you grew out of: This has bothered me for some time, more than the war or world hunger. I still love ska, horn sections, killer guitar riffs, all of it, but I find that I am both a full head taller than most in the crowd, and eons older than those young whipper-snappers down in one of them fancy new fangled "mosh pits" of theirs.

6. Amuse me, dance, monkeys, DANCE!
