That one's a hard one to answer...here's why. When I have a dream, and something happens to me in it, it's still happened to me when I wake up. For example, once I had a dream where I got in a fight, and one guy slashed my arm with his sword. When I woke up, My arm had a deep cut along it in exactly the place where it had been cut in my dream. So yes, they do, in a way.

I believe in chance, but I don't think that any person or thing is inherently more likely to beat odds than another. > God? Eh. Maybe? > aliens? Yep. > horoscopes? Nope. Whoever came up with the thought that stars can somehow foretell what's going to happen to us probably was dropped on their head as a child. :) > ghosts? Never seen one, but I don't rule out the possibility they exist. > heaven? Maybe? > hell? Maybe? > yourself? Most of the time. > ***Which is better... > Coke or Pepsi? Coke. Pepsi's too sweet. > Oranges or apples? Apples. > One pillow or two? One > Deaf or blind? I'd rather be deaf, I suppose... but to say that one is better than the other isn't really saying much. They'd both suck. > Pools or hot tubs? Hot tubs in the winter. Pools in the summer. > Blondes or brunettes? I prefer brunettes. That doesn't mean they're better, mind you... that's just my preference. > Tall or short? Either. > TV or radio? Radio, unless X-Files or The Simpsons are on. > ***About the opposite sex: > Honestly, what do you notice first? eyes > Must-have personality trait: (first and foremost, a pulse... :) after that, sense of humor > Hair~curly or straight? no real preference > Hair~long or short? no real preference - whatever looks better on her. > What kind of things do you find romantic? little things... I'm not a "big romantic gesture" sort of person. "Big romance" tends to feel fake to me. Small gestures from the heart mean more, I think. > Thing you love most about 'em? Don't know where to start? :) > Thing you hate most about: I wouldn't say I *hate* anything about women in general. > ***When was the last time you.... > took a shower? About 3 hours ago. > watched Bambi? Uh... 10 years ago or so, I think? > cried? Damn... a long time... Less than 23 years, more than 6 months. :) > got a real letter? About 2 weeks ago, if "real letter" means "words written on paper, sent through the US Postal Service to my mail box." > ***What is..... > your most prized & important possession? Myself; my CDs. > your good luck charm? Don't have one. > the worst song you've ever heard? Hard to call that one... I'd have to say that the disco (??) song "It's Raining Men" could very well be one of the worst, though. :) Not sure who sings it, not sure I *want* to know who sings it, but it's terrible. > the most embarrassing CD in your collection? I'm not embarrassed by any of them... I don't buy CD's I don't like. :) > your bedroom like? Um... not very decorated... tons of CD's & books all over the place, a guitar I've been trying to teach myself to play in one corner, my hockey stuff in another, a desk, a bed, a little nightstand for my alarm clock & a lamp... nothing very exciting. :) > your biggest fear? Not sure. I've got plenty, but I don't know which I'd rank as being the biggest fear. > your family like? which family? Fairly normal. I get along with my parents for the most part, I get along with my sister for the most part, I get along with my brothers for the most part. > your most humiliating moment? Hmm. There've been so many times I wanted to shrivel up and die... I'm not sure which counts as the biggest. :) > your favorite thing for breakfast? Whatever's handy. > your favorite thing for lunch? Whatever's handy. > your favorite thing for dinner? Whatever's handy. > the best thing that happened to you today? I narrowly avoided being crushed by an 18-wheeler on my way to work. That was a nice bit of precision driving. :) > ***What do u think about.... > abortion? Hard to say... I'm pro-choice, I guess, but I would try to convince anybody I knew who was going to get one not to, as well... if they chose to do it anyway, then okay, that's their choice... I guess that would make me anti-abortion, but pro individual choice? > Bill Clinton? Sick of hearing about him. He messed up in his private life, which should be a private matter between him and his family. > pre-marital sex? As long as it's two consenting, adult partners, I don't care what goes on in other peoples' bedrooms, and they shouldn't care what's going on in mine. > religion? Done a lot of good things, done a lot of bad things, just like anything else, I suppose. What it comes down to is this - who am I to tell someone they shouldn't believe something? I'm sure my beliefs & thoughts would be just as weird & foreign to them. If they leave me alone, I'll leave them alone. > **.WHO.. > makes you laugh the most? Bri & Andy > is the stupidest person you know? N/A > do you have a crush on (unfamous)? I'm not big on crushes... if I'm interested, I'll make my interest known. If I'm not interest, then I'm not going to crush on them. :) > do you have a crush on (famous)? See above. There's plenty of attractive famous women, but what's the point in crushing on them? They're just like regular old "unfamous" people at the end of the day. > do you go to for advice? Andy or Bri, most times. > do you hate? No one. That's too strong a word, and life's too short to carry around all that excess baggage. There's people that I don't like dealing with, but then I just don't deal with them. It's too much effort to hate someone. > knows the most about you? Andy or Bri, I'd guess. > has it easier, guys or girls? Neither? The problems each has are different, but I wouldn't say either set of problems is inherently worse. > ********addition******** > 1) Are you currently in a relationship? Nope. > 2) Do you drink? Yep. > 3) Do you do drugs? Nope, unless NyQuil counts. > 4) Do you have a lot of friends? Nope. But I have good friends, which I like to think is more important than having lots. > 6) Have you ever thought of killing yourself? Not seriously. > 7) Have you ever lost someone you loved? Yes. > 8) Have you ever witnessed a crime? Yes, and been a victim of a crime, too. > 9) Do you have a job? Yep. > 10) Are you a good student? I always got pretty decent grades, but I'm not really a good student - I have a good memory, which helps, but in terms of study habits and study discipline and stuff, no, I'm not a great student. > 11) Do you have siblings? Yes - 1 younger sister, 2 older brothers. > 12)Do you get along with your parents? Most of the time. > 13) Are you involved in sports? Street Hockey, mostly. > 14)Have you ever stolen anything (from a store)? Nope. > 15)Have you ever gotten a ticket for speeding? Nope.
