11. What comes to mind when I say cabbage?
Patch.

12. Are you emotional?
I'm very bad at expressing my emotions, but even still...not really. lol I hold my emotions until I don't have enough space to hold them, so then they all spill out, and I seem emotional. I'm working on that though.

I hate biting into ice cream. I get bad tooth freeze.

15. Do you like your hair?
It's aiite. It's hair.

I love myself. How can I expect to like/love anyone else if I don't like/love myself first? I definitely got work to do on myself, but so does everyone else.

17. Would you go out to eat with George W. Bush?
Yea. I would throw my shoes at him after dinner too. LOL...but real talk...that would be a hilarious conversation.

18. What are you listening to right now?
Day26 - One Night Only. On repeat. Easily one of the best R&B songs, and groups, out right now! Extra smooth. Oh the problems this song will cause!!! lol as a matter of fact...



19. Are your parents strict?
Nah not really. They're cool. Just gotta be on my game, and everything is all good.

20. Would you go sky diving?
Yea!!!! I mean, imma need 100% guarantee my parachute will open properly...but i'd screws wit it.

21. Do you like cottage cheese?
Nope. It just sounds nasty.

33. Who are you going to be with tonight?
Sadly, myself. lol

34. Are you too forgiving?
Depends on what you mean. If you mean like I forgive any and all situations and let everything go back to normal...definitely not. I guess you can compare my acts of forgiving to burning a piece of paper. I can accept that the paper is burned and black, but it will NEVER be that same piece of paper again, nor will I ever try to make it that same piece of paper.

35. Ever been in love?
I have...am...maybe...but anyways yea I have.

36. What is your best friend(s) doing tomorrow?
Probably writing papers or studying for their finals. Shout outs to my best friends!! Yall know who you are.

37. Ever have cream puffs?
Nah...can't say that I have.

38. Last time you cried?
Sometime last year in a drunken stupor. I think like mid-July. But I wasn't really myself, so that doesn't count! lol...other than that...I couldn't even tell you.

39. What was the last question you asked?
When was the last time I cried? lol

40. Favorite time of the year?
Usually it's summer. But because of last year's summer time...I will say spring time when the weather starts becoming lovely. Kinda like it is right now. Hopefully this summer is MUCH better than last year's atrocity of a summer.

41. Do you have any tattoos?
I do not.

42. Are you sarcastic?
Sarcastic...NAH!!!...I don't even know what sarcasm is...

43. Have you ever seen The Butterfly Effect?
No I haven't.

44. Ever walked into a wall?
I've walked into a lot of things.

45. Favorite color?
Red. However, I always grew up with the color blue, most of my clothes are some sort of blue...so I will always have a love for the color blue as well...but red is the favorite.

46. Have you ever slapped someone?
What?! Are you serious?! Me, my brothers, and the neighborhood kids used to slap-box just for kicks! I gotta MEEEEAAAAN backhand! lol

47. Is your hair curly?
lol if you wanna put it that way. haha

48. What was the last CD you bought?
I bought an Earth, Wind, and Fire greatest hits collection sometime ago for my dad.

49. Do looks matter?
Unfortunately, our eyes make looks matter initially, so it would be unrealistic for anyone to say that looks don't matter. As time passes though, they become obsolete. Do looks matter to me...yea. lol...nah real talk...you can have all the looks in the world, but if I don't like your attitude it don't matter. I will say this though, I do have an affinity for pretty people. ;)

50. Could you ever forgive a cheater?
See number 34. I will say this though. I've never had anyone I love cheat on me. So if that situation arises...i'll come back with a more thorough answer.

51. Is your phone bill sky high?
That's a negative! Not with me paying it! lol

52. Do you like your life right now?
I like aspects of my life...most aspects. Like I said before, I do have stuff I need to work on. I wish some things were different. But overall, yea I love my life.

53. Do you sleep with the TV on?
Every now and then...when I get to that point when my body falls asleep, but i'm still awake, and i'm too lazy to reach for a remote. Yall know what I'm talkin about? Like you know you about to just knock out...and you tell yourself "ok turn the TV off" but your body just says "too late!"

54. Can you handle the truth?
I can...very well. Only cuz I have a harder time handling being lied to. That's life though.

55. Do you have good vision?
20/20.

56. Do you hate or dislike more than 3 people?
Ummmmmmm....I wouldn't necessarily say that. For some reason, I can never find it in my heart to hate or dislike anybody. I guess a better question would be...*Are there more than 3 people that you have either no respect or lost respect for?* If that was the question, then most definitely. But that's life.

57. How often do you talk on the phone
I hate talking on the phone...real talk. Like really...if you aren't my family, Dominique, Wesley, Josh, Kenny, Stukes, Braeanna, or Mary...i'd much rather you text me. I mean, I don't mind talking on the phone...as long as their is a point to the conversation. but texting is better. If i really had it my way...i really like face-to-face contact. Just talk in person. So to answer the question...only when I have to.

58. The last person you held hands with?
My family in prayer.

59. What are you wearing
Pretty much nothing. A beater and my boxers.

60.What is your favorite animal?
Probaby a cheetah. Or white siberian tiger. Or black panther. Or some sort of vicious feline. I don't know why! Other than that, I really feel indifferent towards animals. I HATE cats though! *weird I know*

61. Where was your default picture taken?
I don't have one of those yet...but if you know me and are my facebook friend...then that picture is from Twist on my boy Stukes 21st birthday! Yea that boy gets fresh with balloons! *and without of course*

62. Can you hula hoop?
Yea I'm real nice with my hips.....lol...nah but for real though.

63. Do you have a job?
Yes I do.

64. What was the most recent thing you bought?
Does my phone bill count? lol...other than that...gas.

65. Have you ever crawled through a window?
LOL...i've climbed through plenty windows in my day. I tried to sneak into class once in middle school...my teacher usually locked the door if we were late. Well I was late...so I tried to climb in the back window. Usually she was at her desk facing her computer, her back towards the back window. I had ALMOST made it in...but my big foot caught the window sill, so I basically just fell inside the room. I then had to walk out of the locked door and sit in the detention hall until the next class period. LOL...oh good times.
