Survey Says --

... Or, rather, I says.... in response.... to the survey.... *Shifty eyes*

Anyway.

Online surveys and quizzes are more of a lifestyle for me than anything. In high school, before any of us had blogs, my friends and I were plaguing each other with all types of questionnaires imaginable. Now, my cousin and I continue the tradition via LiveJournal.

But, really, this blog here wouldn't feel like home if I didn't give one or two lil' surveys a shot.

This one was brought to my attention by Ms. Kara over at The Adventures of Kara and Jessica -- I was tagged, and I intend to honour that request here. And so:

The List of 8s

8 Things I Look Forward To

• Sitting down to a tea party with my cousin this coming Sunday afternoon.
• Surprising My Advocate with a series of short scripts upon her return from Europeland on Aug. 19.
• Coming Out to my parents at long last and hopefully experiencing a great deal of relief/release.
• The return of the Fall. It's by far my favourite season and I feel as though I can already smell it in the air.
• Getting started on trip planning and travelling. I still have a ways to go in terms of saving cash and actually deciding on more concrete plans, but I'm open to try a wealth of new things, it would appear.
• Partaking in multiple trips to the CNE at the end of August.
• Spending as much time at literary festivals and book sales as possible in September.
• Hopefully checking off more items on my 101 in 1001 list, which I still have to detail for the purposes of this blog, also.

8 Things I Did Yesterday

• Tried tempeh for the first time and enjoyed it immensely.
• Headed over to the gym before the torrential rains hit.
• Wore one of my hotter tank tops and did up my make-up, just because.
• FINALLY started catching up on the second season of True Blood. Wished I was still at the gym after seeing how ripped everyone on that show is.
• Grilled some veggies for a delicious sandwich.
• Also ate entirely too much refined sugar... as I did this evening also.
• Gave my LiveJournal a REAL update after months of neglect.
• Watched a travel show dedicated to the Czech Republic and realised how much I need to start planning my own trips out.

8 Things I Wish I Could Do

• Fly. Though, I would settle for telekinesis.
• Speak multiple languages with complete fluency.
• Take a compliment without searching for double meanings and all that other paranoia.
• Commit. 
• Stun others with my mad cooking skillz. (I'm still working on that one)
• Win the lottery
• Write the Great Canadian Novel. Or the Great Canadian Poetry Collection.
• Woo all the ladies. :P

8 Shows I Watch

• Doctor Who
• True Blood
• Dead Like Me (even if it was cancelled after two seasons. :( )

• Heroes

8 Favorite Fruits

• Pineapple
• Clementines
• Peaches
• Mangoes

8 Places I Would Like to Travel

• England
• Ireland
• France (e.g. Amelie's France)
• Germany (Though, I imagine vegetarians would have a difficult time eating while touring Deutschland)
• Yukon/Northwest Territories
• Russia (Again, still need to look into areas I'm most interested in as Russia is a LARGE place)
• New Zealand
• Back to Japan

8 Places I've Lived

• Alas -- I live in the same house I was raised in. 23 years under one roof. Well, minus the four years where I spent the majority of my time at school. It felt more like sleep-away camp, though. Yeah. I need to get moving, methinks.

8 People I've Tagged

• I'll leave this one up to the readers -- if you're into surveys, then have at it! If you're not, then I hope you enjoyed perusing my answers and getting to know the Moffatt behind the blog. *Gags at the implied candidness*
