1. Which decade made less sense to you, the 90s or the 00s..(keep in mind the 90s was the decade that brought us Legends of the Hidden Temple and Guts..whichever way that makes you lean)
2. You're a nice girl but both you and I know there are some strange birds out there (and being members of this site, that's really saying something). What does it take for someone to really annoy you, and what does The Wrath of Softball usually entail.
3. Do you remember when Bobby Boucher showed up at half time and the Mud Dogs won the Bourbon Bowl....do ya?!
4. Sidenote: Fierce Berry Gatorade (discontinued  ) >>> Whole Milk. What do you think the greatest pizza topping (or combo) ever invented is?
5. If you got to be an action hero, describe your most epic scene, and the cool one liner you say (presumably after you finish off your arch nemesis)
Thanks Softball!
I apologize for not answering these questions earlier, but I haven't had the time. Good news: All of you still have the weekend to torture me with questions.
1. First off, focusing on the music alone, I can tell you that the 2000's make absolutely no sense. This was the decade where rap and hip hop reached their peak. To me, rap/hip hop should not be considered music. It is merely people speaking with drums and a bass in the background. I apologize if anyone finds this offensive. I realize people disagree with my theory, but I believe that groups like Aerosmith, Queen, and Bon Jovi provide actual music. Secondly, I've learned about Bill Clinton and I liked his presidency. Lastly, the atmosphere and environment were in a better state, not that there's anything we can do about it now.
2. There are people who annoy me, and then there are people who annoy me to the point pure hatred. (I'm a nice girl, keep this in mind) For someone to annoy me that badly, it takes a lot of effort. The one thing that some people do on a daily basis that annoys me is randomly poking me, the 'jumper cable', and/or bumping into me on purpose. It's not like they're bullying me or anything like that, it's just they know I hate it. My 'ex-boyfriend' (I'm not getting into that story) does it EVERY SINGLE DAY. I always tell him to knock it off, and then he does it to antagonize me, so I get extremely irritated and end up raising my voice a bit and/or shoving him, though it's never hard enough to hurt him. Also, when people use curse words so frequently and say stuff like 'your mom', it makes me extremely irritated as well. They get on my nerve so much because they're saying it to sound cool, even though people don't always see it in that way. I get pissed when they say it to me about the most random things, because it doesn't make any sense! When people gossip about one of my friends, I want to punch them in the face, because they know I'm their friend, and it's almost like they're using me to pass on a freakin' message. Uhm, remember, I'm usually a nice girl.
3. Is the Bourbon Bowl associated with the college football league? I obviously have no idea what you're talking about, and that is merely because I follow the NFL and the NFL only. I occasionally watch baseball, and that's about it.
4. I love everything pizza because you get to enjoy every single topping on one slice. The best combination is probably onions and mushrooms, though. (I realize some people are making faces at the screen)
5. My most epic action scene would have to be something so original, something unexpected, something like: I could save a cat from a tree. There we go. Now, I would have to figure out how to climb a tree first, as I'm not the most coordinated person on the planet. My line: Why is your cat outside in the first place?

The answers were well worth the wait softball  My bookie also says I have just the weekend left too
Bourbon Bowl is from the Waterboy it's a funny scene where Bobby Boucher (Sandler) shows up in the nick of time to save the Mud Dogs, so I was just making a joke 
So here are my questions, sorry if any are repeats!
1) Speaking of saving a cat, are you more a cat or dog person (keep in mind dogs save kids from wells while cats need to be saved from trees..there are also no seeing eye cats)
2) Im embarrassed to admit I dont actually know if you play softball...so..umm do you haha?
3) I asked Ching this question, are you going to be one of those Yuppie, pretentious early 20s backpacking Europe types?
4) I actually thought the 90s was pretty big on hip-hop but Im no expert and it's not important Other than the bands you named, are there any recent bands you like to listen to..what do we call this the 10s..that sounds ridiculous, do you think people in the 1910s had the same dilemna....anyway, sidenote, you should check out The Strokes, Someday and Under Cover of Darkness OMG *swoons*
5) So about that weekend thing....can you loan your good friend Spider $1000

I plead guilty.
1) Do people ask for your help or advice often?
2) Do you tell white lies often? (If so, why?)
3) Do you enjoy being outdoors?
4) Do you prefer art or writing?
5) Please tell us about either your "ex-boyfriend" or the worst decision you've made in the past year.

Ah. I guess it makes it all the more laughable when the person you're trying to make a joke with has absolutely no idea what you're referring to. 
1. I am definitely more of a large dog person. I have a German Shepard mixed with a golden retriever and rottweiler. I enjoy cuddling with him because it gives me a sense of security. Also, cats do not have the intellectual ability to determine threats like dogs do. I feel safe when I'm home alone because I know he'll protect me. [Is it just me, or do I really sound like a child?]
2. -_- I played softball for nine years before high school began. This year, I decided against playing for the school because of volleyball. My parents preferred volleyball, and I'll admit I am better at it. I would've loved to play both, but I can't fully commit to both teams if I chose to do that. Playing volleyball takes up Tuesday and Thursday nights for me, and I couldn't make all of the practices for their full length if I was also juggling softball. However, I hope my previous team will accept me in the summer becuase I really miss the sport.
3. Uhm, I'm not quite sure what you mean. If you're suggesting that I may become a tourist, you are off base. For now, my plans include graduating high school, majoring in something for college, and starting a family once I graduate. I want to apply to an Ivy League for the heck of it. After retirement (unless I become extremely wealthy) I will most likely travel the world in some shape or form...
4. I am currently listening to The Strokes - Under Cover of Darkness. I'm enjoying the music video and the tone quality the singer possesses. (Is that spelled correctly?) I listen to some pop artists such as ADELE and Lady Gaga because I love the way they express themselves. I'm also a country fan, and I love the Eli Young Band.
5. First off, I don't have 1,000 dollars. That's what they invented credit for, silly.
Shadows, I promise I'll answer your questions once I get out of this school *cough* prison.

About the end, here.
1. How long did it take you on average to respond to one set of questions?
2. On a scale of 1 to 10, how annoying was it that Spider asked you AGAIN if you played softball? 
3. SirHar says Adele is an overplayed, overrated artist and that Nikki Yanofsky should be the primary focus of all things musical. Do you curse him out and rip his argument apart or smile and suggest Dolly Parton?
4. Describe your perfect date (i.e. I think April 25th - it's not too hot; it's not too cold. All you need is a light jacket. )
5. What type of job would you most want to take to put yourself through college?

I'm still in school. I can't escape from it when I'm at home, either.
1. I feel as though people do come to me for advice. I like to think I am a wise person, and I've been through a lot of different scenarios. I try to see every point of view and opinion before I give advice because I want to truly help everyone. My friends will come to me for hypothetical situations that may or may not be true, and I put a lot of thought into it. I think people rely on me sometimes, and I don't know whether or not that's a good thing or a bad thing.
2. I don't tell white lies that often, but I do tell them. When I do tell them, it's to preserve my friends from finding out an inevitable truth that might hurt them more in the present than it will in the future.
3. I love the outdoors because I can feel as though I am a part of the earth. When the sun warms my body, it makes me feel complete, as though it was what I am made to do.
4. Writing is most definitely my preference. I could not draw or create something to save my life. When it comes to writing, though, my creativity floods out of my body. I can express myself fully when I'm writing because it's like a haven.
5. My "ex-boyfriend" and I were not a couple, and I will never consider it a relationship. We began 'going out' because I asked him if he would. It was more of a term rather than a literal meaning because we never did anything together. When we did go out together, we would be in groups. This was the event that ticked me off the most: We went to an amusement park for a band/chorus field trip. He was in my group, so I figured that it might be the starting point of our relationship. This was not the case. We didn't sit next to each other on any of the rides. I sat next to another guy in my grade on EVERY SINGLE RIDE, and I had fun. I don't know what my 'boyfriend' was thinking, but I was pissed.

Alright. Once I finish answering these questions, I'll post the next victim.
1. It took me 20-30 minutes to respond to each set of questions. I wanted to give the best I answer I could, and I took my time in doing so. It took me a while to answer one set in particular because the questions were hard to answer, and I was doing it during Word Processing.
2. Well, I'm not really sure how annoyed I was by it. I rolled my eyes when I read the question, yes, but I understand what it's like to have an awful memory. My point is, it would be a mediocre five.
3. "To each their own." I would have to come from this angle on that topic because I understand that people have different opinions and such. I actually agree that she is overplayed, but I still think her arrangements are absolutely amazing. I've never heard Nikki Yanofsky, though.
4. My perfect date would be the time spent with someone I love. The only thing that needs to be present on the perfect date would be him, and if he doesn't feel the same way about me, then he isn't the right one for me. I would love to be walking hand in hand on the beach, or sitting by a campfire. I hope it's some place special where we both connect with each other, where we can both show our feelings. Perfection: Lying in his arms and talking.
5. Well, I am currently a cashier, and I don't mind that job. However, I will probably become a waitress or something to put myself through college, though that won't be enough. I really haven't thought my future through that much, yet.
