My dog's been chasing this racoon around outside for half an hour now ... he chased it up a tree, it got stuck there, so we threw snowballs and ice chunks at it for a while, and it wouldn't move regardless of the beating it took ... so finally we came inside (so I could finish this survey and watch Joe Millionaire's season finale, which is where I'm going now ... ciao)

If i get a chance i'll jump on the bandwagon and run my own answers on this as well, but im too busy doing nothing to think about it right now.
-Grant-
I'm not gay. I love women. Women love me. Well the ones that do end up going out with Grant after me anyway, but still, I'm not gay. I do have a picture of Chris Carrabo (the guy from Dashboard, don't know how to spell his name) on my wall, but that's it! As for Grant being my slave, that's, uhhh, personal, but NOT GAY.
it's CHRIS CARABBA!!! ehehe. that poster of him in spin is errr...
i have a picture of chris CARRABBA on my wall too
("Places You Have Come To Fear the Most" promo poster)

--danielle
p.s. and jordan--i remember someone telling me back in the day that "emo is the spawn of satan spelled backwards." yeah, so why the hell do you have chris carrabba on your wall?
You're all fruity! I can't stand emo, especially that Dashboard crap!
Sk.

15) I disagree
22) Except the process by which wolverine codes in that movie is so fake ... I hate how movies make programming or hacking out to be some really random VISUAL process. Like the movie Hackers, and how they hack, or the movie Mastermind and how the kid hacks at the beginning (by playing a 3d maze? wtf?), or Swordfish and coding.
