Actually, a small part of me wanted there to be a catastrophe if it meant that I didn't have to finish my senior thesis, which I was in the grueling middle of.

Nick - like your father I look forward to the earnest world of the post-apocalypse as well - bartering, making mocassins, growing corn for fuel, etc. Maybe if we attack North Korea we'll get our wish.
Neither sleet nor hail will prevent Kevin Costner from getting out the mail. Has anyone seen both Waterworld and The Postman? (I've seen neither)Please compare/contrast. He was on a real post-apocalyptic mission there for awhile.

About the only preparation done besides stocking up on booze was my dad informing me which guns were in the best working order in our house. The fucker even laid claim to the 9mm.

Yeah it was pretty good. I narrowly avoided pulling a graveyard shift at the ISP I worked for. We had people on shift assuming everyone's pooters/routers/networks would fall over. And of course nothing happened. So I'm glad I didnt bother with that.

I found this "all about me" book that my friend gave me that (of course) i never filled out because i knew it would be hilarious some day and also because who answers questions like this13 years later, here is a sample
it's like proto ok cupid or something? overly personal questions and baseless future predictions.

sorry about the blurry edges, i am too lazy to scan twice
who on earth would answer these questions in a book? i am truly wondering about what kind of person would write all of this stuff down? it seems like finding one that had been filled out would be a diamond mine of blackmail material?!

To be honest, it would be quite interesting to look back on your attitudes to these weird arbitrary things, I think.
― emil.y, Thursday, 17 May 2012 14:25 (1 year ago) Permalink
Yeah, I've gone back and forth about it. I just know that there is no way I would have filled this out sincerely because that is just WAY too much info about my personal thoughts to share with anyone. But to read the thoughts of someone who was less guarded/self-conscious about sharing the answers? I'm going to keep my eye out for these in thrift stores from now on.

Romantic (and a little bit of platonic) relationships, with dual focus on fantasy (traits of your ideal mate - woman, etc) and history (what's the furthest you have traveled to see a love interest?) Also, pursuit/being pursued.

sorry, farthest
for example:
when you are attracted to someone:
you like to be the catyou like to be the mouse
