My One and Only MySpace Survey

First and foremost, I have to warn my loyal readers: do NOT join MySpace.com. It starts off as something boring and stupid, yet when you are a member long enough you find yourself on it constantly, looking for old friends, checking your messages, looking at your friends' friends, checking your comments, looking at your friends' friends' friends, checking your messages, postingcommentsfillingsurveyscheckingyourmessageslooking
atfriends'newestfriendsAAAAGH!!!! Yes, it can be that addicting. And the thing is, the website itself is very poorly designed (read:ugly) and always down. I suspect that the server they use is a 1995 IBM 486SX with 4 megabytes of RAM. Yet, somehow it is a phenomenon.

Anyway, one of the popular things to do on this website is to fill out surveys, which you then forward to all of your "friends" (mutual contacts to your profile), so they can fill it out and forward back to you and all of their friends. I think it is kind of stupid, but last week, when I was incredibly sick, I had absolutely nothing better to do so I filled one out. I have received quite a few messages since then letting me know how funny it was, so I decided I would share it with my blog's loyal readers so I can get an easy column out of it so they can enjoy it also.

Here it is:

Honestly...
Body: The Honesty Quiz
TAKE IT

1.Honestly, where are you now?
My parents' house because I'm sick as a dog and when I am sick I want to be babied.

2.Honestly, have you ever failed a subject in high school?
Yes, due to blatant immaturity I managed to fail "Biology", "Parking in the Correct Lot", and "Attendance"

3.Honestly, what's on your mind?
Getting over this God-forsaken miserable cold

4.Honestly, what is it that you really should be doing right now?
Marketing mortgage-related services

5.Honestly, have you brushed your teeth today?
No, because that would require opening my mouth, which causes instant pain in my throat

6.Honestly, are you a good friend?
A GREAT friend, unless you expect birthday and holiday cards on time...

7.Honestly, do you think school is important?
I think it helps you become a more complete person, but it is not neccesary (neccessary? necessary? I NEVER get that damn word right!)

8.Honestly, what are your dreams mostly about?
sex <-- this was the answer left by the previous survey taker, but it works for me

9.Honestly, who/what makes you happy most of the time?
See the answer to question 8. Also writing humor on my blog (http://slowjoe12.blogspot.com)

10.Honestly, what hobbies do you have?
Hmm... I guess that would be writing on http://slowjoe12.blogspot.com/...oh, and Madden 2006.

11.Honestly, what song are you listening to?
The voices in my head are singing something, but I can never understand what they are saying.

13.Honestly, who do you want to see at this very moment?
My bed. I'd also love to see you learn how to count.

12.Honestly, do you have a deadly disease?
I am stricken with procrastinationism. I know what to do about it, but I'll get around to doing it later.

13.Honestly, do you hate someone right now?
I don't hate anybody. I am very good at empathy.

14.Honestly, do you wanna hug someone right now?
I'd hug Osama bin Laden if he could make this sore throat go away.

15.Honestly, are you bored right now?
I'm filling out a stupid survey, aren't I?

16.Honestly, who do you wanna slap right now?
Anyone who says, "Come on, just one more!" (If you don't get this, read my blog)

17. Honestly, would you rather be having sex right now?
Um, duh--I'm a man. I could be at a presentation honoring me with the Pulitzer Prize and I'd still rather be hooking up with the female CNN reporter in the front row covering the ceremony.

18. Honestly, are u single?
Yes

19. Honestly, does anyone like you?
Everybody likes me. See my bumper sticker on http://slowjoe12.blogspot.com/

That was it! That is the kind of mindless chatter that goes on all day on MySpace.com. I need to delete my profile and quit going to that site.

Oh, and I have started three columns for this blog, but none of them are ready yet. If you don't know how anyone can have three columns started and none finished, then you obviously don't have A.D.D. (Look into getting it! It's great when you are trying to accomplish absolutely nothing!)

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go. I must check my MySpace messages IMMEDIATELY.

  2. Joe,

    Thank you for sending me to your blog. Although you never post on my blogs of course now I have to leave the obligatory post on yours.

    Go figure. & to top it off I already know about myspace, already know how addicting it is & yet here I am reading your version, quite similar I might add, to my own.

    Ok & one final thought - yep I'd already read your survey, might even been FROM me...not sure but could have been.

    Well thanks for sharing!
