2003-04-22 | REVEAL

I stole all these great ideas from RYAN. First I took all these wacky quizzes, then I stole a survey that he stole from somebody elses diary. So here it all goes. Hope it doesn't suck.

I am 38% Emo

Hmm.. I should stop listening to Dashboard Confessional.... enough said... Now that I stopped looking at my shoes, I know how the real world looks.

I am 45% Metal Head

Most other metal-heads acknowledge my presence, but they laugh at me behind my back. Maybe I need to stop spending all that money on haircuts and invest in a few Pantera T-shirts.

(I'm actually way more punk than this, but the questions were stupid)

I am 47% Punk Rock

Well, I may know what punk is, but... Okay maybe some people think I am punk, but is that enough? Nope.

I am 27% Goth

Goth ny night, normal by day. Deep in my heart I know I am evil, but not on the company's time. I do need to eat.

I am 17% Geek

I wanna be a geek. But I'm not. Why would I even want to be one. Do I think it's fun? I should try writting an online test application at 1 am in my underwear

I am 40% Grunge

What's this? The longest I've been without a shower is three days? Not even close, man. I should go sit out in the rain for a week.

I am 52% Ska

Well, maybe I'm trying too hard, maybe I'm not trying hard enough. I shouldn't forget my roots, and remember that punk and reggae wouldn't exist without ska.

Here's the quiz I stole from Ry:

name = Jon a.k.a. J-Meddows

piercings = Had 4 at one time, but they have closed up.

tattoos = coming soon

shoe size = 14

hair color = dark brown

length = 2 and a half inches

LAST...

movie you rented = I buy cheap dvds, don't rent.

movie you bought = Don't have a dvd player at the moment, so it was before I left Hawaii. Probaly Reservoir Dogs, Mr. Pink edition.

song you listened to = Listening to a song on the new White Stripes album right now.

song that was stuck in your head= Some Joe Henry song. Sadly, before that it was that frickin' "I am beautiful" Christina Gaguilera song.

cd you bought = White Stripes "Elephant"; Johnny Cash "American IV: The Man Comes Around"; Pete Yorn "Day I Forgot"; the Libertines "Up the Bracket"; Transplants; the Streets "Original Pirate Material"; and last but not least, stupid Columbia House sent me the monthly selection again, which this time was "Cocky" by Kid Rock. Bastards.

cd you listened to = White Stripes "Elephant"

person you've called = Greg in Hawaii

you want more piercings = maybe just one or two

you drink = not much anymore

you do drugs = once every couple years

you smoke = usually only when I drink

you like cleaning = despise it

you like roller coasters = I would like it for the thrill, etc., but my stomach can't.......stomach it.

you write in cursive or print = when I write, I tend to print in all caps, but when i type, sometimes i type in all lowercase.

you carry a donor card = i should, but i don't

FOR OR AGAINST...

long distance relationships = well, it worked out for me, but it was strenuous, and I wouldn't recommend it

using someone = against

killing people = only injuring them very badly, or making them look foolish. sometimes that's satisfying

teenage smoking = against smoking cigarettes in general, unless you do it like once every 2 months like me, and only smoke like less then half a pack

doing drugs = mary jane's ok, but I've seen some of the other stuff ruin people, and change them. It's almost always for the worse. 99.9%

premarital sex = fun

driving drunk = I've only driven drunk a couple times, and one time I blacked out. It's not a good feeling not remembering driving to somebodies house. But I've been drinking while driving before, and it was kind of fun. And I didn't get drunk while I was driving. Just had a few sips of a 40 dawg.

gay/lesbian relationships = for

soap operas = for Days of Our Lives, against all the rest

. FAVORITE...

food = pizza, prime rib, moms fried chicken

song = wow. could there be a more difficult question? I love "Lost Cause" by Beck, and "Pets" by Porno for Pyros, and obviously "Lounge Act" by Nirvana, but they probably aren't my favorites. They're up there though. It's hard for me to pick a favorite. I'd have to think longer. I also love "Won't Get Fooled Again" by the Who, "Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum, "A Day in the Life" by the Beatles, and thousands more.

band/singer = Chokebore/Troy, Nirvana/Kurt, Sublime/Bradley

cars = Rik Ocasek

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Why are you here?

I can't think of anything original or creative to write, so I came to this for some source of inspiration

2. What is your middle name?

Kawika (hawaiian for David)

3. I am curious about what your mantra is. Tell me about it.

Do what you want to do. Don't settle. Even if you're on your last dollar, always keep that dream in mind. Even if you have to work a shit job for now, always aim for what seems to be the unreachable bullseye. Because when you get there it will all be worth it. Stop whining about what you don't have and start being grateful for what you do have. And stop being cynical all the time. Try and be happy, and have fun, and enjoy things. What a concept, huh? And get angry at things that suck. It helps you appreciate the things that don't that much more. It's okay to not like everything, but don't be ashamed to say you DO like something, just because it's not "cool".

4. What do you do when you're feeling sad?

Write. Sometimes I just get depressed, and sleep. Or listen to sad music.

5. Name three bands you're embarassed to love.

K.D. Lang (it's not actually that embarassing, she's just misunderstood. People don't know much about her but they talk shit anyway), there's a certain charm to some of Dashboard Confessionals songs, but I can honestly say I will never buy another one of Chris' albums again. Unless he stops whining. And last but not least: I like lots of cheesy classic rock stuff like Bad Company. And there's a few bands I like that lots of people always make fun of me for: Rush, Pearl Jam, Steely Dan, but I don't think they're embarassing at all.

6. In one week, what will you have done?

Worked 5 times, had sex a few times, ate a lot, watched a lot of tv, written some stuff, listen to 5-10 albums, hopefully get some more contributors for my book.

7. Would you ever put half-naked pictures of yourself on the internet at a seemingly decent site if you needed the money and the other people were foxy?

If someone would actually pay to look at my pale, chubby, naked body, then fuck yeah!

8. Do you read the comics? Which ones?

Only about once a year

9. Fill in the blanks: When I _____, I will ______ so I may _______.

kiss Stephanie; immediately forget all the bullshit; go on living my life without feeling sorry for myself. (at least for a few minutes)

10. What is your most favorite food?

You already asked me that. Pizza/prime rib/and moms fried chicken

11. What are your superstitious habits?

sometimes if things are going well, I'll park in the same parking spots everyday, stuff like that. I do things in patterns, the same way for weeks, if things are going well, then immediately change them if they're not. I also refuse to wear Penguin shoes on Thursdays.

12. When is it perfect?

When I have no responsibilities, extra money, I don't have to work for a while, or when I'm not working at all, and I have someone that loves me. And I'm watching a baseball game and falling in and out of sleep all day.

13. If you were a sandwich what kind would you be?

I'd be a Reuben. I love Pastrami, but I'd be a Reuben mostly because it's a reasonable name to have. It would be stupid to have a name like Club or Moon over my hammy.

You know what? Fuck Reuben. I'd rather change my name to Monte Cristo.

14. What day is your favorite day of the year?

I like Christmas eve, and Thanksgiving is okay. Unless I don't have anyone to spend it with, or if I have to work that day, or the next day. Christmas always gets depressing after the first few hours. When the reality of going back to your normal bullshit life starts to kick in.

16. I'm feeling sad right now; give me an idea of something to do to make me feel better.

Find someone to love. Watch Conan O'Brien, or any really funny show such as Futurama, or any funny movie, so you can be in tears from laughing instead.

17. Do you knit?

No, but I'd like to stick a needle in your eye.
