Refurbished

I'm tired of studying abnormal liver function tests (although I aught to study more). So I decided to do a little myspace cleaning and to my surprise, I found this fun little survey I did for a good friend of mine a few years ago (Thanks again, Mike!). I said to myself, "self, why not update the survey? I'm sure it's a better way to spend your time rather than reading up on the causes of elevated AST/ALT or going to sleep."

And so, here it is...the survey. Feel free to use it yourself in your blogs, should you feel inclined to do so.

Ahem...

The backyard/patio/garden.

3. Last time you puked from drinking?
October 12th, 2009, in my car on the way home after my friends' wedding (Don't worry I wasn't driving), then a rest stop somewhere in Connecticut, then another rest stop on the Jersey Turnpike (exit 7), then the Greyhound bus station in Mt. Laurel. That was a lot of puking...

4. When is the last time you got drunk and danced on a bar?
Never. I think I would cause much puking for others which would then cause me to puke...and the vicious cycle would never end!

Don't remember. I think I was sick for most of my 1st grade life.

OK, this is lame, but study or sleep...unfortunately I don't have the gumption to do either just yet.

As a little boy of 8 - a chef. As a young tyke of 11 - a comic book illustrator. As a strapping lad of 16 - a porn star. As young man of 18 - a porn star. As a quarter-lifer - a rock star. As a soon-to-be 30 year old - 15 lbs. lighter.
