The Bottom Line I'm really not that interesting, especially for a 15 year old loser.

Opening Words
Ranting is fun. Ranting about myself is even better. Two of my Epinions chicks - Kristina and Broomy - did these survey things, so now I am too. This cool little writeoff was started by the lovely newcomer Sarah.

Birth date: February 18th, 1988.

Height: 6'2'' - Height is something people always notice. Unfortunately, endless rhetorical remarks such as Wow, you're tall tend to get old.

Eye color: Brown, because I don't have those sexy contacts that change your eye color (yet).

Hair color: Brown, only because I haven't dyed it auburn, blue, or black and pink (yet). ;)

What does your name mean: Michael? As far as I can remember, he was an archangel. That's what my dictionary said, anyway.

High school graduation year: 2006 (technically I'll be done with high school curriculum in 2005 because you bow to my intelligence :)).

Favorite relatives: My parents and I are pretty schizo with each other, so I'll go with my sweetie grandma on my dad's side. Unfortunately, that's it.

Summer memory: My summer was quite bland. Going crazy in our car trip to Cleveland was "memorable," though. I honestly thought I was going to die in that car...

Favorite TV shows: I watch TV? Okay - when I watch TV I watch your standard fare like Survivor, Fear Factor, ER, Will and Grace, Daria, VH1 and pro wrestling.

What's on your mousepad: Don't have one. Can someone explain to me if they serve an actual purpose? They seem pretty extraneous to me.

In the car; AC or windows: AC. The rolling down of windows is pointless because you just have hot air blowing in at you. Not to mention if you're stuck in traffic or anything.

Do you believe in yourself: Yeah, for the most part. I'd be lying if I didn't have my lower self-esteem moments like everyone else.

Favorite game: I don't really play real "games," but as far as video games go, that's a different story. I LOVE Kirby, Super Smash Bros., Metroid and - well - Mario!

Favorite drink: Diet Raspberry Snapple Iced Tea, because I can't drink regular iced tea or soda anymore.

Favorite food: Pizza is good, but that's the universal answer. Chicken tenders and fries are pretty tasty too.

Favorite colors: Black and Blue for my ever gothic (???) side, and pink and purple for my frilly homosexual side. :)

Favorite cigarettes: Do I look stupid to you?

Favorite sounds: Music, I guess. I never really think about my "favorite sound," although walking on tiles with wet shoes annoys the crap out of me.

Favorite smell: Vanilla, cinnamon, mint, fruit... those scented Mr. Sketch markers are great. :)

Favorite thing to do on a weekend: Hibernate. Converse with strange internet folk (you are included, reader) and maybe spazz out with some Nintendo.

Favorite soundtrack: Soundtrack? The only ones I think I own are Titanic and Grease, so Grease wins by default from lack of mindnumbing lameness (although that Beauty School Dropout song drives me nuts).

Where do you see yourself in 10 years: Working with electronics/being a gay slut. Just kidding about the first one... I mean the second one...

First thought in the morning: Monday through Friday: "I'm really wasting my life in school, I just know it." As for any other time; morning? *chuckle* That's cute.

Do you get motion sickness: Not that I know of...

Rollercoasters: deadly or exciting: Oh, they're really both, you know. Nothing says excitement like the feeling that you're going to die of shock, or at least puking your guts out.

How many rings before you answer the phone: I have a telephone? I never answer it. Neither do my parents. The machine is heavenly - it picks up calls after three rings. I know you care. :)

Are you a good friend: Yeah, to other people. I don't have many friends but I tend to be loyal to the ones I have.

Chocolate or Vanilla cake: Personally, I like chocolate cake but vanilla everything else. But why even bother picking between the two? Have both!

What do you drive: I can't drive for another two months nor I am particularly thrilled about the idea of driving in general.

Do you sleep with a stuffed animal: No, I unfortunately sleep with nobody. ;)

Thunderstorms, cool or scary: They're cool, just because I really enjoy rain and thunder all. I'm a big fan of Madonna's Erotica period, you know. Although they suck when the satellite goes out.

If you could meet one person in the world, who would it be: Oh god. Are trying to make my head explode? As great as it would be to meet Madonna, I forsee her being an old bitch, so I'll go with Alanis Morissette (and she knows Tori, so that kills two birds).

What is your zodiac sign: Aquarius; my friend Heidi says Aquarius folks are much like hippies. Great, now I can smoke weed! ;)

What do you wear to bed: A t-shirt and underwear. I find it funny that guys go to bed more naked than girls...

Do you eat stems of broccoli: This question would be more effective if I ate broccoli at all.

Would you ever ask a guy for his shirt: Probably not, because I'm too passive to do something like that, even if he was a particularly sexy (and openly gay) man.

If you could have any occupation when you get older, what would it be: I'll be happy to still be alive; if that doesn't count as an occupation, I guess working as a sales dork in Best Buy would do. I'd get employee discounts!

If you could dye your hair one color, what would it be: One color? Heidi and I are going to go through every color of the rainbow on my head some day. Pure pink is really tacky looking (on anyone except the actual singer) as a hair color, but black with pink streaks would rock.

If you could have a tattoo, what and where would it be: I'd never get one. Besides the pain factor, what if I grew out of whatever silly little thing I got a tattoo of?! The horror!

Favorite brand of gum: I don't really eat gum... I guess I'm not a proper teenager. Bazooka Joe is pretty good, though.

What is your favorite quote: "I believe in peace, bitch" by Tori Amos; say what you want about the Waitress, that line is great.

Have you ever been in love: When I was five, I really loved Kimberly the pink Power Ranger... but outside of puppy dog crushes and massive amounts of lust, nope.

What's on your walls in your room: Some random pictures that have been in my room since I was about five years old, plus this Spice Girls poster I've been too lazy to take down.

Is the glass half-empty or half-full: I say half-full only because half-empty sounds entirely ridiculous. So yeah, I picked the positive choice for negative reasons.

Which do you prefer; Cooler Ranch or Nacho Cheese Doritos: It's like the vanilla and chocolate thing again. Both, please!

Favorite flavor Snapple: Diet Raspberry Snapple - I'm diabetic, y'know. Lemon tastes entirely too much like tea. Don't you just hate it when iced tea tastes like tea?

Which one, Coke or Pepsi: I could really care less - Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi taste virtually the same to me. Before all things diet killed my diabetic taste buds, I genuinely preferred Pepsi.

Which kind of milk is your favorite: 1% for my cereal, otherwise I have no use for it.

If you were to kill someone, which method would you use: I'd sic them with cute rabid bunnies. :)

Are you a righty, lefty, or ambidextrous: I use each hand for different things. I bat and hold silverware with my left hand. I write with my right hand. However, I'm not ambidextrous because I'm not skilled at everything with either.

Do you type with your fingers on the right keys: Oh Jesus; school tried to teach me that shit a ton of times already and I still type faster using the hunt and peck method because I actually have the keyboard memorized that way.

When you meet a person of the opposite sex, you notice their: Their hair. If you change this question to include those of the same sex, I'd have to answer with some entirely X rated. ;) No, actually, hair is important for a guy too. I like my men with short hair and a small dash of facial hair, but now I'm ranting.

What's under your bed: The floor. I know, riveting.

What's the best number in the World: I think the better question is how you form a favorite number. What the hell is the difference between any of them? I dunno, I guess 6, as amusing (and obvious) 69 would be.

What is your dream car: An SUV, only because I can't stand being cramped up into a dinky regular car.

Who is your biggest crush right now: I don't even bother with "crushes," sorry to say. If you're a man and halfway attractive, I "crush" over you or whatever you feel like calling it.

Nickname: PT; Heidi and I started a Mario Bros. web page a couple of years ago, and I used the name ptparatroopa. Obviously, it's stuck. I used to be known as James to the PsyPoke community (as in James, from Pokemon) but I threaten to kill any moron PsyPokes that call me that lately.

School: Oh, school is school. I'm not even going to bore you with what you already know.

Bacon Bits or croutons: Croutons, because bacon is nasty.

Favorite Salad Dressing: I don't really eat salad (can someone explain the joy of eating a hunk of leaves to me, PLEASE?) but I like that oil and vinegar stuff with my crotons.

Do you drink: Just caffienated beverages. Hey, caffiene is a drug.

What type of Shampoo/Conditioner: I don't know, some girlie shampoo my mom uses. Healthy hair is important! Girls at school compliment me for my abnormally soft hair!

Have you ever been skinny dipping: No; I can't even remember the last time I went swimming normally.

Do you make fun of people: Of course, but only those who deserve it.

Have you ever been convicted of a crime: Crime? Not that I know of... Oh, actually, there are the 1,100 MP3s on my computer. Damn, I'm so illegal - throw me into jail NOW because MP3s are worse than manslaughter!

One pillow or two: Two, although I could sleep on a concrete floor if I wanted/needed to.

Pets: Currently we have one fish that I'm apathetic toward. We had a litter of kittens over the summer but gave them away; our hamsters died; our long time kitty got out in 2001 and we haven't seen him since.

Favorite Movies: The sad thing is that I don't actually have one. The only thing I can think of is Death Becomes Her, starring Myrel Strep, Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis.

Favorite type of music: Pop and rock, but I'm not picky toward anything really.

Hobbies: Sleeping, music, video games, internet, writing, procrastinating, worrying and being generally useless.

Word or Phrase you overuse: "Damnit," damnit. I tend to say "Bunnies are cute," if I'm in an idle conversation, and "Crack kills," if I'm disturbed by something.

Toothpaste: Aquafresh. Pretty random, but whatever.

Piercing or tattoos: None, I'm a wimpy loser. I hear they shoot the earring into your ears now, brr.

Do you get along with your parents: Like I mentioned, we're schizo. We'll be fine one minute and at it yelling at each other (this happens between all three of us, not just them to me and vice versa) the next, but we get along.

Favorite beer: Beer sucks. I was allowed to taste it once and I can say I'll never drink it again. And it looks like urine, how gross is that?

Favorite song at the moment: I can write up a ten page essay on this one, but I'll just go with My Immortal by Evanescence while not-so slyly dropping the name and number of the review (please, get back to me). Also, God is a DJ by Pink is pretty good.

Most humiliating moment: A lot... but the time this girl pulled down my pants in front of the class in pre-school sticks out in my mind. Luckily, she didn't get a hold of my underwear when she went on her rabid quest into my drawers.

Favorite Holiday: Christmas, but my birthday is pretty good too!
