One a' them survey thingies

1. FIRST NAME? Tracy

2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? I can't remember, I don't think so. I think my mom just wanted a name that couldn't be shortened. Of course she then proceeded to call my "Tray" my whole life. "Tray" and "Fred" (because I had/have "Fred Flintstone toes"). Thanks mom.

3. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY? When the ladies on the Starting Over house built a house for Habitat for Humanity and the dad who was getting the house started crying. I can't see men cry, I tells ya.

4. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?Not really, though I like it when I think it looks like my mom's.

5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? I don't really enjoy the words, "LUNCH MEAT," but I like roast beef and pastrami and capacolla ham.

6. KIDS? Dogs and cats. Someday kids. Although, yesterday I, in all seriousness almost went to war with the 8 year old next door. He had been outside SCREAMING for about 3 hours and I finally had to let the dogs out to pee...and of course they started barking at the little bastard (he's been known to squirt them with water pistols and throw things at the fence toward them (including pruning sheers that he's parents left lying around in the yard)). So, I let the dogs out and they're barking and the kid says to his parents that we "shouldn't be ALLOWED to let the dogs outside." What? We shouldn't be able to let our dogs out in our own yard? Stupid 8 year old! Where are they supposed to pee, besides on your stupid face?! It took every bit of strength in my body not to run outside, grab the little snot and yell, "YOU'RE PARENTS SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO LET YOOOUUU OUTSIDE, YOU LITTLE BASTARD!" Instead I opened all of the windows to the back and side of our house facing theirs and played at maximum volume the most abrasive, hard core punk records, spewing as many "F" words as I could find in our collection, until he finally got scared and went back inside.
This incident has made me question my ability to deal with children.

7. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? I'd be a fool not too, who wouldn't be friends with a grown woman who seriously wants to fight an 8 year old?

45. WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT? Starting Over house and a Discovery Times documentary about how the American government has enslaved us to the oil industry even though we have all of the technology we need to live independently of it. Now why would they do that? I can't think of one link between Big Oil and the American Gov- oh, wait!

46. FAVORITE SOUNDS? The sound of my bank account having money in it...and clicky keyboard noises.
