this is a lot of questions

Let me preface this by saying that I may or may not have done this survey before (too lazy to check). Actually, I think it might be a combination of a couple different ones because some of the questions I know I have done before (Best room for a fire place), and some I know I've never seen before (Favorite fish). So anyway, it's a lot of questions - 100 to be exact - and I won't be offended if you choose not to read all my answers. However, if you do, I'd appreciate it if you then fill it out for yourself, and let me know where I can find it, so I can bask in the glow of my new knowledge of 100 things about my friends.

All right, here we go ...

1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
Closed, so the monsters can't come out.

2. Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel?
Nope. It usually smells funny.

3. Have you ever 'done it' in a hotel room?
Nope.

4. Have you ever stolen a street sign before?
No, but I bought a Stop sign at a flea market once, and a coworker once gave me a couple of those yellow and black striped caution signs.

5. Do you like to use post-it notes?
They are indispensable.

6. Do you cut out coupons but then never use them?
I usually won't go through the trouble of actually cutting them out, but I may save the paper they were in, and then forget why I saved it and end up throwing it out.

7. Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of a bees?
Maybe bees, because there is always the possibility that my incredibly calming zen-like presence would prevent them from stinging me ... too much.

8. There was no number 8, so I'm making up one of my own. Do you think blogging is a self-indulgent hobby?
Sometimes yes. I debate with myself (fitting). Mostly I just do it out of boredom.

9. Do you always smile for pictures?
Nope. If I'm not feelin' it, I don't smile.

10. What is your biggest pet peeve?
Bad drivers, and bad-grammar-users (yes, I am guilty of both)
