35. Food: There’s no way I could ever pick, but let’s just say if I was on death row my final meal would be something like this: Chicken Fried Steak w/ mashed potatoes, mac-n-cheese, then I’d have some pizza, then some grits and about a dozen cookies. Do you see why I have issues?

55. What words or phrases do you overuse: What’s my favorite word these days? Say it with me: Yo.

56. Name the person that you are friends with that lives the farthest away? M. in L.A. And this question is espeically inane, because "person you are friends with" is stupid. Why not just say Name your friend who lives the farthest away? Sorry, that bugs me.
