waiting for big bird to cook…

so i’ve yet to have my thanksgiving dinner. one of my brothers is married and its become tradition that instead of switching off holidays with us and his in-laws, we push thanksgiving back to saturday so we can have it all together. anyway… while i am waiting for dinner to finish cooking, i found a survey and i am just bored enough (you know there’s a certain degree of bored when these are fun) to fill it out. enjoy.
