Totally Radical Survey
Your name:
James H. Badger
You have been making the world more amazing since:
That time I did the robot to "Rockit" by Herbie Hancock. I believe that was yesterday.
Oldest/youngest/or middle sibling:
I am the middle kid, which should explain why I'm so weird. Or something. It should tell you something, but it's entirely up to you what it actually tells you.
Your dad's name:
Robert. Do you now have enough of my personal info to sign me up for a credit card in Nigeria and run up a mad bill in my name.
What kind of phone do you have?
I believe it's red. I could probably pick it out of a police lineup if I had to. It would be the one that wasn't an inmate.
Who is your favorite celebrity ever?
Mats Sundin. It's killing me that he might not be with the Leafs next season. I hop ehe chooses to retire if the Leafs don't take him back.br>
Favorite type of music:
I really like power pop. Go check out Teenage Fanclub, Big Star, Jellyfish, and The Rubinoos if you don't know what it is. There are several other bands I can recommend if you're interested.
How many pillows do you sleep with?
I sleep with one. All I need is one cool pillow with a decent amount of fluff and I can sleep for a month.
Ever prank called the pizza place and ordered a pizza for somebody totally random?
No, but you're giving me ideas. If you get a pizza you didn't order sometime soon, it might've been me.
What do you find most of in your room?
There are lots of clothes in our bedroom. Crazy, I know.
How many piercings do you have?
None. I fear having things poked into my flesh.
How about tattoos?
I don't have tattoos either. I fear needles.
Describe your house:
It's awesome. We have a room in the house dedicated entirely to awesome things (video games, records, guitars, movies, and other assorted awesomeness). We have the most awesome pet in the universe. We have a gigantic cactus in the front yard. I could go on and on. We have a great little house.br>
Who is your neighbor across the street?
Our neighbors are nice folks. They're in our ward. I won't release their names for a couple reasons 1) I don't want Nigerian credit cards in their names, and 2) I don't really remember their names, and it's too late to ask now.
Your favorite facial feature:
On myself? On others? I dunno. It's a weird question and I really don't know what to do with it. It's under the legal limit and I'm throwing it back.
Name the band you are listening to now:
I've been listening to the Jellyfish box set. It's amazing.
Who do you know that throws the best parties?
I used to throw some pretty good parties back in the day, as did Megan. These days we don't even get invited to parties most of the time. I guess we're not as fun as we used to be.
Name an item you've kept with yourself since you were young:
I still have the quilt that was made in commemoration of my birth. I think I've had that longer than just about anything in my life.
Possible children's names?
Jimmy jr. But that's not a possible name. Chalk it up as something that will definitely happen. But seriously, I don't think I'd call him Jimmy because he'd probably eventually resent it. But I would like my name to carry on.
What is your favorite method of exercise?
I like to do an hour of this every morning.
What do you do to get money?
I'm the head crap-taker at the crap-taking factory. I take way more crap than anyone else in the factory. Apparantly I'm really good at it.
Do you dye your hair?
The last time I dyed my hair I was going to crazy raves in run-down warehouses in the middle of nowhere. It was long ago and far away, but I have dyed my hair several times in my life.
Own a pair of skinny jeans?
No. They look super uncomfortable. I remember pegging my pants in the late 80s and early 90s and it was super uncomfortable. Those crazy tight jeans the kids are wearing these days look super uncomfy.
What is the longest you have been in the car for a roadtrip?
I dunno. We had some pretty long Utah road trips. Of course the fact that Denver is the farthest East I've been might tell you that I'm not taking any super long road trips. I hope to take a cross-country trip someday.
Been to Six Flags?
I was at Six Flags last week in Denver. But you knew that, right?
What about Disneyland?
Todd, Ryan, Nathan, and I were on a road trip and our car died in front of the gates of Dinsyeland at 3:00 in the morning. I've never actually been inside Disneyland and I'm reasonably sure that I don't want to.
Name the bands you have band tees for:
I have t-shirts for Weezer (I own at least 6 Weezer shirts), Ash, The Black Keys, Iron Maiden, Dio, Metallica, Jimi Hendrix, Bouncing Souls, Rancid, and possibly others.
Favorite local band?
That would have to be Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. Roger Clyne is basically Arizona set to music. Seriously, it's awesome.
How many cell phones have you owned?
I am on my second. I got my first phone, which was prepaid, and they gave me a second phone for free when Megan and I got a fmily plan.
Your nails are painted:
Don't tell me my nails are painted. I'm looking at them right now and they're not.
How many pairs of sweatpants do you own?
None. If I wore sweats, I'd look more like a guy who has nothing to live for than a guy that can pull off that whole "I'm cool because I don't care how I look" look. Seriously, sweats make me look like a guy who lives in a van down by the river.
When was the last time you shaved your legs?
I have never shaved my legs in my entire life. I don't know if you know this, but I'm a guy. I'm not a professional cyclist or swimmer, and I don't ever get my ankles taped, so there's no reason for me to ever let a razor touch my legs
What were you doing this morning at 8am?
I was drogging my sorry carcass into this library for another workday.
What were you doing 15 minutes ago?
Answering some rediculous question or another.
What are you wearing?
I decided to not look down while I'm answering this. These are the things I know for sure: I'm wearing a shirt of some sort and jeans. So I'm reasonably certain that I'm not naked. I'm also wearing my wedding ring and a watch. That's the truth, I can't tell you what I'm wearing on any given day unless I look down and get a peek of it myself.
Are you mad at anyone right now?
Not really. It's Friday, so all my madness melts away. Especially as the clock gets closer to 5:00.
Last person to say they loved you?
Megan. But you knew that, right?
Last person to send you a text?
Nobody. I don't send text messages and I don't really want to receive them. I'll take actual phone calls, though.
What is your middle name?
Hyrum. Now you can definitely run some Nigerian scam on me.
Do you have a crush on anyone?
Yeah. I've totally been crushing on that Megan girl. It's a good thing I married her.
Have you been naked today?
Yeah. I took a shower, and I'm usually nude in the shower. I find it's easier to get a good shower when I'm nude.
How many different drinks have you had today?
I've only had water today.
What have you eaten today?
I had some granola bars and some cheetos. They were delicious.
Are you good at math?
I honeslty have no idea. I was good at math at one point in my life, but it's been years since I've taken any math classes. So I have no idea if any of my math skills are still around. I don't think it's like riding a bike. I'm pretty sure I can't just pick it up again.
Do you have plans on Saturday night?
Maybe. I dunno. Megan will tell me if I do.
Do you draw your name in the sand while your at the beach?
My at the beach? Do I now own at the beach? When someone else is at the beach do I get royalties? Seriously, the "your" and "you're" mix-up drives me crazy.
Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight?
Yes. I hope I never have to do that again. I'm too old. I need my sleep now.
Do you like the ocean?
I enjoy the ocean, but there's not a whole lot I can do with it. My ears can't stand more than 6 feet of water, so that severely limits what I can do in the ocean. Of course it make me less likely to be eaten by a shark, so at least I've got that going for me.
Would you stay friends with your ex's?
I've lost contact with both of them, but we generally parted ways on good terms.
What are you excited about?
I'm excited that it'll be the weekend and I'll actually be home to enjoy it. Of course I'll probably be doing things around the house and whatnot, but at least I'll be home.
What did you do yesterday?
I went to work. It was a fairly boring day.
Are any of your great-grandparents still alive?
Not only are all my great grandparents no longer with us, my grandparents have all passed on as well.
Where do you keep your change?
I keep it in a record bowl that Amber made me from a copy of David Bowie's "Hunky Dory".
Who is the best person in your life?
Megan.
Would you rather sleep with someone else or alone?
I'm getting used to sharing a bed with Megan. Sometimes she'll get up before I do, and when I wake up in the bed all alone it feels a little weird. I think I'm getting used to being married.
What was the weather like on your birthday?
I dunno, but it was an awesome birthday regardless of the weather.
