10k Views Blog 1: Surveys

Someone pointed out that I haven't completed a "survey" in a while and requested I do so. It's a little funny because my really old blogs had a number of them, but the internet was also a totally different beast back then. But here you are, I will complete the first survey I ever posted and you can compare my answers from then to now!

Edit: Oh my god it's hundreds of questions long. Jesus. I'm sorry.

1. PICK OUT A SCAR YOU HAVE, AND EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT IT?
I have a couple of scars on my face, one intersecting my eyebrow and another higher up on my forehead, from when I was walking home from school as a child living in Detroit and another kid standing on a roof threw a brick -- yes a whole brick -- at me and it hit me in the face. I suffered a concussion and wasn't allowed to go to sleep for 12 hours.

You know how things that glow in the dark glow brightest if you hold them up to the light before turning it off? Well, I stuck Hello Kitty in a lamp cover to charge her up real nice and good. Being the 4 year old I was didn't know that light bulbs got hot, so I left her there while I went and watched TV, I think I was watching David The Gnome... Anyway, when I came back she had melted.
