What's your method for calculating a tip?
I typically tip 20% of the total after tax. I also round up because I'd rather tip too much than no enough. If the service is just plain bad though, I'll tip exactly 15% and if it's horrible service, even less. It's gotta be pretty bad though. If something happens that's not the servers fault, I still tip them the full 20%.
What's your favorite way to keep in touch? Phone, snail mail, email, text message, Vox, _____ ?
Definitely text message. I suck at calling people or returning calls.
What is your browser's default home page set to?
Submitted by Kelev T. Cat.
Netvibes. Love it! It's an AJAX homepage of all my RSS feeds. I'm totally addicted to it.
What's the nerdiest thing about you?
I love The History Channel & Discovery Channel. I don't know if that's nerdy, but I think it could be considered kind of nerdy.
What albums are in heavy rotation for you right now?
Louder Now - Taking Back Sunday
For Blood & Empire - Anti-Flag
How well do you know your next-door neighbors?
I don't know my neighbors at all. I'm in a temporary living situation right now and I'm barely home.
What's your morning beverage of choice? Coffee, tea, juice? Homemade or store-bought?
Usually coffee w/vanilla creamer & a packet of splenda. Or, if I have time to stop at Starbucks in the morning, a sugar-free vanilla soy latte. Yum.
What do you usually do on Sunday?
Sunday is my lazy day. I usually don't do much of anything. Sometimes during the summer I'll go to the beach or to a street festival, but normally, I veg out on my couch with a killer hangover. Sunday is my recovery day.
Do you have any tattoos? If not, if you were going to get inked, what would you get?
Yep, I've got 4 tattoos so far and will be getting my fifth before the end of summer. I've got an Alkaline Trio tattoo on my inner, left wrist (has a deeper meaning than just being an ALK3 tat), a tribal sun on my back that I got right when I turned 18 (don't like this one anymore), and black & red stars on the back of each upper-arm. I'm planning on getting a half sleeve or 3/4 sleeve. My next ink will most likely be a large piece for the sleeve. I'm still figuring out exactly what I want to get. I want to have negative-space stars in the background as fillers, and I'm most likely going to get swallows, but in a new-school style rather than the traditional style of swallows. The idea I have right now is to have one of the birds symbolize my inner-demons & the other bird symbolize the good side of me. I'd have them sort of entangled and fighting each other.
The other tattoo I'm going to get in the near future is the Latin phrase "Memento Vivere", which means "remember to live". It's fitting of my personality and my philosiphy of how to live life. I try to enjoy every moment as much as possible because I know that there's no guarantee I'm going to be alive 5 minutes from now. I don't plan much for the future because I think it's a waste to put off living life to the fullest in hopes of something better in the future. I live for today. Anyway, back to the tattoo....the tricky thing about this one is that I want it to be in a spot where it's clearly visible to me the majority of the time. The reason being that I want it to serve as a reminder to "remember to live".
If you could be on any reality TV show, which one would you pick and why?
I guess I'd be on The Real World. Who wouldn't want to live in a huge-ass, sick house and then do "challenges" & "gauntlets" for the next ten years and never work a real job? Yeah, that sounds just about perfect for my inner slacker.
