Thank God for persistence...

Finally got through that survey...


**Male or Female?**

I'll be the rain falling on your fire escape
And I may not be the man you want me to
I can be myself, how 'bout you?

"Fire Escape" - Fastball

**Describe yourself**

I was never cool in school
I bet you don't remember me
But now it's been ten years
And I'm still wonderin' who to be
I love to mix in circles, cliques, and social coteries...
That's me

Hand me my nosering (Can we be happy?)
Show me the mosh pit (Can we be happy?)

We can be happy underground

"Underground" - Ben Folds Five

**How do others feel about you?**

I feel like a quote out of context,
Withholding the rest,
So I can be for you what you want to see.
I got the gesture and sounds,
Got the timing down,
It's uncanny, yeah, you think it was me.
Do you think I should take a class
To lose my southern accent?
Did I make me up, or make the face till it stuck?
I do the best imitation of myself.

"Best Imitation of Myself" - Ben Folds Five

**How do you feel about yourself?**

Life is a test, and I confess:
I like this mess I've made so far.
Grade on a curve, and you'll observe -
I'm right below the horizon.

Yes, no, maybe I don't know.
Can you repeat the question?

"Not the Boss of Me Now" - They Might Be Giants

**How do you feel about life?**

Everybody knows it sucks to grow up,
And everybody does,
It's so weird to be back here,
And let me tell you what,
The years go on,
And we're still fighting it,
And we're still fighting it.

"Still Fighting It" - Ben Folds

**Describe where you live**

Nobody wants to be your friend
cos you're not from round here, ooh
as if that was something to be proud about.
The pearly king of the Isle of Dogs
feels up children in the bogs.
Down by the playing fields, someone sets a car on fire
I guess you have to go right down
before you understand just how, how low,
how low a human being can go.

Ooh, it's a mess alright,
yes it's
Mile End.

"Mile End" - Pulp

**Share a few words of wisdom**

Father up above,
Why in all this hatred do You fill me up with
Love, Love, Love

"Christmas Song" - Dave Matthews Band

**Describe your feelings right now**

Just a perfect day
problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
it's such fun

Just a perfect day
you made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
someone good

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
you just keep me hanging on

"Perfect Day" - Lou Reed

**What's Love?**

I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns,
The stumbles and falls brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am, I am
I am the luckiest

"The Luckiest" - Ben Folds
