107. Ever programmed little games into one of those cool, expensive calculators? We once made this movie where you scroll down and watch this moving pattern of 1's and 0's.
108. Ever wished you could? Not really. It's not high on my list of priorities.
109. How often do you get online? Every day, or else I get twitchy.
110. Do you have friends online that you've never met in real life? Yes. Pixel, for example.

114. Do you use AOL? At home, it used to be the only way to connect to the Internet.
115. Do you honestly believe that AOL is "the internet"? Mostly I went on AOL to delete porn spam from my inbox. So yes, that pretty much sums up the Internet.
116. Do you mind if I laugh at you? Yes. I have a very fragile ego.

Ah, Memories.

163. Ever gone anywhere with no underwear? Well, into the shower.
164. How about to church with no underwear? Heck no.
165. Do you wear jewelry? I'm not a big fan of jewelry, on myself and others. Except for glasses, which are jewelry in the sense that you could get contacts if you wanted to.

Etcetera.

171. What's your favorite color? Chameleon.

173. Do you have a lucky number? No, although I'm partial to 8.
174. Have you ever won on a scratch-off lottery ticket; how much did you win? Never even bought one. I've never won a raffle, either. Or Publisher's Clearinghouse.
175. What is the punch line to your favorite joke? "I guess I'm just a bad conductor."

183. What is your stage name/pen name? Eemeet Meeker.
184. Are you wearing shoes right now? No.
185. What are you asking for, Christmas-wise? Nothing. I can't think of anything I want, and I won't mind if people don't get me anything. Buying stuff just to have bought stuff for someone is silly.

193. What did you get out of it? Liz took me on "Rohan's Death March" hike up a creek bed to the top of Mt. Brisbane, then over to the top of Mt. Keira and down into Wollongong.

Let's End This, Shall We?

194. How long did it take you to fill out this survey? Two hours, at least, counting all the formatting, the first time.
195. What's today's date? 28/11/00 (updated 08/06/14)
196. Do you feel better about yourself now, do ya? No, just tired.
197. Ok, I guess not. That's not a question.
198. Do you know me? If "me" means pixel, then yeah.
199. Do I know you? Yup. But we already established that.
200. Do you want to know me? Where else would I get long surveys like this one?
