t-minus 4 days (or: my weakness for surveys)

1. The phone rings who do you want it to be?
someone who knows how to punctuate properly

2. When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart?
i'm a nerd like that. if i decide i don't want something i also will never just leave it on a random shelf. i always put it back where it goes.

3. In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener?
if i know people and feel comfortable i talk away. if i don't know people i sit in a corner and think "be less awkward! be less awkward!" but that never usually works.

4. Do you take compliments well?
i'm getting better. i like to explain them away. example:
person: you look nice.
me: i had to totally fight with my hair this morning. i got my pants for five dollars. i'm really wearing a mask. STOP LOOKING AT ME!

i'm more passive aggressive.

i know, i know! but a 20 minute survey is an easier study break (and more excusable) than a two hour movie.

and besides, i did that one at work.
