survey: rated mature

email surveys. you either love them or you don't. i guess that's not true because to me it depends on my mood. so, i'll start again. email surveys: you either love them or you hate them or you're a moody person. that's better.

my friend ben(ge) sent me one that, in his paraphrased words, asked questions a little more insightful than, "when's the last time you were drunk?". i agree that those are old and now that i'm older (and still getting closer to be older, 8 days and counting...) they strike me as very immature and inane. so here's ben(ge)'s. reposted as a lj entry because i couldn't think of anything better to type.

>> Favorite Rap Lyrics:

"you can laugh and criticize Michael Jackson if you
wanna
Woody Allen, molested and married his step-daughter
same press kicking dirt on Michael's name
show Woody and Soon-Ye at the playoff game, holding
hands
sit back and just bug, think about that
would he get that type of dap if his name was Woody
Black?"

cracks me up and makes me sad all at once

>> Favorite Parts of New York City:

ah, man, i got so many:
-the chrysler building as you approach it from the

a little west of 3rd ave- stuyvesant square? where
around the clock diner is
-the walk between my grandma's apartment and the 66th
st. stop on the 1- walking through the hallway in
lincoln center
-waverly place
-park slope & prospect park

-the kew gardens stop on the e train just because it
was the first place i ever lived in new york
