I am addicted to caffeine, don't care about Football, have library cards, organize my music collection by case spine color, sneak my own beer into movies, never liked AC/DC, and have never been to Canada.

I believe that you could carry out some sort of statistical analysis that would quantify the relatedness of all these things from the comment answers. I hope that's what you're doing, and that it's going to be displayed graphically at some point.

You are addicted to caffeine
-One Christmas, my dad got very sick with the flu, and consequently made most my family sick. I couldn't drink coffee of a few days, and I ended up in tears due to the lack of caffeine. I don't drink it all the time, but yes, it's safe to say I'm addicted.

You don't care about Football
-I'm not a sports fan in general, but sometimes I like a good baseball or basketball game. Football simply has too much stopping and going for my taste. I mean, baseball is not exactly a thrill a minute, but I like how the tension slowly builds, rather than 30 seconds of play, then five minutes of sitting around.

You play the violin
-I did take lessons as a kid. When I pick up a violin, I still have some sense memory there, it's wild.

You read your local paper in the morning
-I do when I can, often online.

You have a library card.
-Yes! Free books, movies, and music! I am also a librarian so I seek one out wherever I am living.

You can remember a time when a Bush or Clinton was not in the White House
-I remember Reagan very clearly (shudder), sort of remember Carter, do not remember Ford although I was alive, and was born toward the end of the Nixon administration.

You are left-handed
-Yes. It's generally not a problem, but my parents once had an electric can opener that completely confounded me.

The fact that John McCain is gaining momentum makes you nervous.
-Yes.

You have read a music autobiography or biography
-About to read a biography of Lester Bangs.

You are addicted to caffeine

You will be rooting for an upset by the New York Giants during the Super Bowl

--For the sake of my family in the area.

You don't care about Football

--I suppose a bit contradictory to the above statement, but if I never watched American football again, I'd be a happy person. Soccer is a different story.

You have a library card

--To the local library in addition to my uni library access.

You sneak your own snacks or drinks into a movie

--I'm cheap. Especially as an American in the UK.

The fact that John McCain is gaining momentum makes you nervous

--I dunno, I just prefer Giuliani. Nothing against McCain, really.

You are addicted to caffeine - More than cigarettes, i'd say.

You have never dyed your hair - I see no reason a guy should ever need to dye their hair, short of an actor for a movie role.

You are trying to quit smoking - Down to three packs a week. Hopefully by the time I turn 21 (May 19).

You will be rooting for an upset by the New York Giants during the Super Bowl - The Patriots continue to show that they're beatable; the Giants should've beat them in Week 17. I think the Patriots go down.

You have a library card - I read a lot, though I use it more for movies ($75 - Unlimited rentals for a year; at least 10,000 titles)

Bush/Clinton - Born at the tail end of Reagan; so really don't remember a time without a Bush or a Clinton

You are left-handed - Yup. I always get a little excited when I see a celebrity that's also left-handed.

You sneak your own snacks/drinks into a movie - Of course. There's people who don't do this?

You have paid $100 to see a concert - $120, Sigur Ros @ Chicago Symphony Orchestra, 8th row center. SO worth it.

You've never liked AC/DC - Only song I like is "You Shook Me All Night Long." Not a big Chili Peppers fan either. People think i'm crazy.

You feel like the Shins changed your life - Maybe that's a little excessive, but I feel like "New Slang" certainly affected my life.

You have never been to Canada - Stayed at a cabin about 30 minutes from the Border in Minnesota during Thanksgiving, though.

You don't care about Football: I'll probably switch over to the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet in between commercials

You can remember a time when a Bush or Clinton was not in the White House: One of my first memories is watching stuff about Reagan on TV and my parents hating him

You sneak your own snacks or drinks into a movie: I'm a cheap bastard

The fact that John McCain is gaining momentum makes you excited: I think he's a little weak and could be easy to beat

If I'm paying the bill at a restaurant, I always tip 20 percent because I know that servers almost always get paid minimum wage, or nothing at all, and depend on tips to make any kind of real money. If I have a complaint about service, I talk to a manager, or don't go to the restaurant again.

I've never dyed my hair; I worry that it would do bad things to my natural curls, and I also just like my hair color.

I don't like football.

I have a library card. I recently checked out I Am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert and Sound Bites by Alex Kapranos.

I am left-handed. Neither of my parents are left-handed, and neither of my sisters are either. I think one of my grandma's sisters was ambidextrous, but that's it.

I bring my own food to movies because I'm a cheapskate, and because the movie theaters I go to don't have whole grain crackers or trail mix, for example.

I read a biography about the Smiths once, The Severed Alliance.

Always is a tricky word, but I *generally* tip 20% at a restaurant. I've worked for tips before...
I am addicted to caffeine because I am weak, and/or coffee is the finest beverage.
I have a child.
I'm rooting for the Pats. I'd like to see any team have an undefeated season. I don't actually 'care' about football in the larger sense, though it may not seem that way from reading those sentences above.
I have a library card. It's one of my favorite things.
I organize my CD collection by artist.
I can remember when there were no Bushes or Clintons...
Yes, I sneak treats into the movies. The movie theaters are bastards for charging $4 for a bag of M&Ms. AND they make you buy a big one now! Bastards.
AC/DC and I are like this --> :/ or like this, 'meh'. Back in Black was pretty good though.
I have read a music biography. I like reading about the ways that other people construct songs, and how it is that they are artful in their everyday lives. I won't just read any music auto/biography though. I'm fussy about that...

You will be rooting for an upset by the New York Giants during the Super Bowl - The Pats are just annoying to me, more on the part of the smugness and running up of the score and the attitude and antics of Belichick

You play the violin - rather i did back years ago, an East German Stradivarius knock off, it squealed too much

You know "Stairway to Heaven" on guitar - just the intro, i do know Heartbreaker and She's Just Woman though

You have never been alive when a Bush or Clinton was not in the White House
You can remember a time when a Bush or Clinton was not in the White House - if you include Senior's tenure as VP then no, if not then yes

You are left-handed - i write with my left hand, yet everything else i do with my right
You met your current boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife online - met my girlfriend on the Sonic Youth Message board in late 2002 and have been with her since

The fact that John McCain is gaining momentum makes you excited and nervous - I'd like to think it shows maybe there some in the party who are looking more to the future socially (in a very relative manner mind you) and not backwards, but at the same time he makes me nervous about being the actual presdient

You have not yet purchased music in 2008 - have a list but haven't gotten nything yet

You have paid $100 to see a concert - excluding festivals like arthurfest, atp and such, in a manor of speaking yes if you include air travel expenses

I drink a lot of coffee but I'm unaware of the physical manifestations of addiction. It doesn't kill me to go without.

I am trying to quit smoking. I've dropped off quite a bit.

I have a 3-year-old girl and am expecting a boy next week. The girl's name is Lucie; the boy's will be Hank.

I'm rooting for the Giants because I don't think anybody should be allowed to get away with perfection.

I love Brett Favre because he's actually having fun out there.

I have a library card.

I've never entered a big-time cash money karaoke contest but I've "competed" in weekly tiffs.

I must have sung an Eagles song at karaoke once. I think I've done "Take It To the Limit."

I remember Nixon, Carter and Reagan's presidencies.

I've read several music biographies; ones on Dylan and Johnny Cash spring to mind. I like music books about generalized movements. "England's Dream" and "Sweet Soul Music" and the like. Currently reading "Can't Stop, Won't Stop," a rather detailed account of hip-hop's development from a sociological perspective. It's fantastic.

Finally, when the State Theater in Oly showed films, my friends and I snuck in entire 6-packs of Schmidt's Ice. Well, perhaps "snuck in" isn't the right phrase. We more or less did it in plain sight. Ah, youth.

I do play the banjo! I also very much enjoyed 'Shakey,' (Neil Young bio), and admit to reading Aerosmith's 'Walk This Way' until the binding came loose in junior high. Forgive me.

On senior ditch day in high school I stole my parents car and drove 5 hours to Iowa to meet a 38 year-old I met online (no romance, but I believe it deserves an honorable mention). My parents didn't find out until I told them 3 months later, and actually weren't upset.

I don't always, but I do try to tip high most of the time. I've worked behind the counter in cafes, I've been a manager in retail. People are horrid creatures to retail employees, and I can't imagine it's any better when food is involved. So I try to be nice, figuring it's better to leave someone feeling like not every customer wants to see them stomped into tiny bits on the floor.

Oh, and I met my girlfriend online, through a dating service. So far, so good...I don't think it's any weirder than going to a singles dance or meeting through friends, it's just a different medium.

I tip 20 percent. My mother was a waitress when I was a kid. There was never a question about leaving a realistic tip to someone who not only serves you, but absorbs crap from a lot of real jerks throughout the day.

I have a library card. I am a professional librarian. So I also have my Special Librarian's Club membership card, and none of you will ever know what glorious secrets it allows me.

Of course I remember Reagan in the White House, and being freaked out when he was shot (I was in seventh grade). And I remember Carter and Ford. Yet they all seem like a version of a Bush or Clinton at this point.

Damn straight I sneak my own snacks into the movie. I'm not going to chew on a stupid Baby Ruth for two hours.

I have paid $100 to see a concert. Neil Young in 2007. I was skeptical going in, but once the show was finished I felt that it was worth every stinking dollar. His wife was a bit strange, though.

Sneaking food into movies started when my husband and I were broke and could barely afford matinee tickets. Now? Eating dinner with our movie has turned into an addictive curiosity. We started by stuffing my purse with the typical candy and pop but out thoughts lingered over how far we could go. Our curiosity has taken us to new heights (or new lows). We have stuffed Philly Cheese-Steak sandwiches in our sleeves (Moreland), Chinese Food complete with chopsticks, plates and soy sauce in our coats (Laurelhurst), and recently a bottle of wine with glasses and dinner from the nearby local deli (Fox Tower), just to name a few. For our next attempt, we are contemplating an extra large pizza with some beer. Do you know someone with broad shoulders who could be our mule?

You read your local paper in the morning

I and the people I work with subscribe to the Providence Journal and I read it over the course of the day. I like to keep tabs on what's happening in the community (this being Providence, they can be interestingly crazy, like the story of the artists who made a secret residence in a mall last year). I also like reading the comics, national news stories and the occasional op-ed.

You have a library card

I love libraries. My grandparents lived next door to one when I was a kid and I went there every time I visited my grandparents. I still go a lot and I'd say that half the books I read come from a library. My ex-wife used to say that libraries were the closest thing I had to a church and she's right. If having an irrational attachment to something is a requirement for holding that something sacred then I'm certainly irrationally attached to books. Not that I hoard them, part of my reverence for books is that I try to spread them to as many people as possible.

You can remember a time when a Bush or Clinton was not in the White House

I remember Reagan but I was too young at the time (born in 1981) to have much of an opinion on world events. I remember following news reports of the Gorbachev-Reagan summit in Iceland but that was mainly because Iceland is the country of my birth.

OK, I had nothing on your first list, but I have many on this one.

I always tip 20 percent, sometimes more. The base salaries of waiters/waitresses is appalling.
I am addicted to caffeine. I have tried to quit many times, and only succeed for a short time.
I have dyed my hair for about 18 years now because I don't like my natural color. At this point, I do it to cover grey too!
I don't care about football.
I have a library card. In fact I have 3. I'm a librarian.
Amazingly, I do know "Stairway to Heaven" on the guitar. I don't play it well, though.
I can remember when a Bush or Clinton was not in the White House. My earliest memory is Ford.
I have read a few music biographies--Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Doors, to name a few...

"You have never dyed your own hair"

I went through a brief period in college where I wanted to dye my hair black, but I have since gotten over it.

"You will be rooting for the New England Patriots during the Super Bowl"

I'm from CT, so I hope that gives me a pass.

"You know Stairway to Heaven on Guitar"

I did for a time, but only because someone wanted me to teach them how to play it.

"You can remember a time when a bush or a clinton was not in the white house"

I was born in 81, so I remember the reagan years. No comment.

"You have read a music biography/autobiography"

I read a Smiths biography and a Stone Roses biography but that's it.

"You are left handed"

Yeah, but I play guitar right handed. Go figure.

"The fact that John McCain is gaining momentum makes you excited."

Sort of. I get bored with it terribly easy.

You are addicted to caffeine
--Boy am I ever! So bad I am resorting to Excedrin (one tab has slightly less caffeine than a cup of coffee) to help me wean off. I figure that, like with nicotine, I need to get away from the ritual of it (drinking, smoking) and just think about tapering my dose. The fact that I think this way *shows* what an addict I am.

You don't care about Football
--Not really. Although (and I hate to admit this) Tom Brady is looking pretty cute to me lately.

You have a library card
--Have two (NYPL and Brooklyn). I've had one since third grade and the first book I ever checked out was Black Beauty. Librarians are my heroes.

You can remember a time when a Bush or Clinton was not in the White House
--I remember the night Nixon resigned. My parents took me out for ice cream.

You organize your music collection, but not alphabetically
--I use the psychographic method displayed by Rob in High Fidelity. "Which records WANT to be together?"

You sneak your own snacks or drinks into a movie
--Yes. Mostly drinks because those monster ones they sell at the concession have about a zillion grams of caffeine (see above)

You have paid $100 to see a concert
--I saw a Tibet House benefit at Carnegie Hall a few years ago and if a ticket was not $100 it was close. Bowie, Lou Reed and Ray Davies all in one night made it very worth it, even being in the nosebleed section

You have song lyrics tattooed on your body
--No, but have considered a Morrissey tattoo

You already have a presidential candidate's sticker on your car
--Bike
You have read a music autobiography or biography
--I have a whole shelf of books about the Smiths. Hell, I was even quoted in one.
You feel like The Shins changed your life
--The fact that ANYONE could say that about the Shins scares the crap out of me!

I'm listening "Jumpers" (the only thing that can make me forget about my toothache... it's such a thing of beauty why, oh why, did you have to take and indefinite hiatus? ok enough ranting)
I always tip 20% -- my wife gets furious whenever i try to tip 10% or 15% so we always end up having after dinner discussions on tipping a la "reservoir dogs".

I'm addicted to caffeine -- my stomach's a diva and can't drink more than a cup a day though :-(

I've never dyed my hair -- too expensive! (i wanted blue hair when i was 16 but my skin color along with blue hair would make me look like a walking bruise)

You dye your hair... N/A

You're trying to quit smoking -- yes, i've only had 7 cigs this year.

You have children -- yes, 3, nobody ever told me or my wife what the consequences of constantly shagging would be...

You have at least one child... N/A

You will be rooting for the Pats... -- NO, i'm a lit. grad student and have no time, my wife will though she's from Maine.

You love Brett Favre -- yes, he reminds of a scottish prof. i had that was always threatening with retiring and never did, he died a few days ago.

You don't care about football -- positively maybe.

You played varsity level sports in high school-- NO!!!! i was scared of people when i was in high school.

You went to college on an athletic shcolarship -- no but i wish i was an genius athlete with no loans to pay.

You play the violin -- nope, do you?

You play the banjo -- nope

You read your local paper in the morning -- our local paper SUCKS!

You have a library card -- YES! i just paid my fine last night.

You have entered a karaoke contest -- am i on candid camera?

You have sung an Eagles... -- No but will for money.

You own your own bowling ball -- Yes and they call me "The Jesus" and nobody ever messses with me.

You know "Stairway to Heaven" on guitar -- does air guitar count?

You have never been alive when a Bush or Clinton was not in the White House? -- mmhhh... the new american political dynasties... yes, i'm an old man.

You can remember a time when a Bush or Clinton was not in the White House -- yes, or hold on, maybe that's just implanted memories... Philip K. Dick anyone?

You organize your music collection, but not alphabetically -- i have just succumbed to the alphabetical ordering of my music and i kind of hate it: Sleater Kinney should be easily accesible in the NUMBER 1 spot (i know i'm just sucking up).

You are left-handed -- nope.

You met your current boyfriend/girlfriend... online -- online people don't exist therefore...

YOu sneak your own snacks or drinks into a movie -- hell yeah! it's cheaper , healthier, funnier...

The fact that John MacCain is gaining momentum makes you excited -- makes me want to cry :-(

The fact that John McCain is gaining momentum makes you nervous -- totally, Huckabee would alienate so many republicans that they wouldn't have a chance but McCain can make the dark side win.

You have not yet purchased music in 2008 -- yes I have -- new Times New Viking album, new Black Mountain, Yeasayer...

You have paid $100 to see a concert -- no! who's charging that much?

You have song lyrics tattoed on your body -- nope, what about you?

You've never liked AC/DC -- i've never owned any of their albums but i don't dislike them.

You will put a presidential candidate's sticker on your car -- only one that i saw last year that said "Cheney/Satan '08"

You already have a presidential... no.

You have read a music autobiography or biography -- yes, but i'm very skeptical of autobiographical writing (as in who is writing? if the self is basically a fragmentary entity who is that one that narrates and writes in an autobiography?)

You feel like The Shins changed your life -- no but they changed queen Amidala's, that's good enough, go Shins!

You have never been to Canada -- oh Canada, oh Canada... yes i have visited friends in Ottawa.

I suspect that these are just a thinly veiled attempt at weeding out the weirdoes and/or left handed librarians from the looks of the comments. I always wondered what they were doing behind that big desk all day, now I know it???s npr.org.

I always tip 20 percent or more. Everyone knows karma comes from tips.

I am addicted to caffeine to the point that coffee bar at my office has my coffee schedule memorized, sometimes they have it waiting for me.

I played varsity tennis in high school. My official high school transcript says that I played varsity soccer too but I hate soccer and have never gone near a field except to sneak cigarettes in the eight grade.

I have a library card, the ultra dorky key chain version.

I remember a bush/Clinton free white house. I have the same birthday as Ronald Reagan. When I was a kid I thought that was cool. It is also Bob Marley???s birthday which I now understand is infinitely cooler.

My music collections is organized by genre for the most part, there are exceptions because I have to kept artist with their original or main band. For example: John Doe and The Knitters are with the X cds even though it???s not quite the same genre.

I am left handed. My dad started out left handed but the nuns beat him into using his right. My left handedness landed me in public school. I have mixed feelings about this.

I go through phases where music biographies are the only thing I read.

I have never been to Canada. One of my cousins traced our family all the way back to Nova Scotia once to prove we were honest to god Cajuns. A love of hockey is the only piece of Canada that didn???t get bayou-ed out of us over the last three hundred years.

You will be rooting for an upset by the New York Giants during the Super Bowl ??? Hotty Toddy!

You don't care about Football - I only care because my husband does.

You have entered a karaoke contest - for all of the karaoke I have sung in my life, I don't think I ever did it in a contest! I should get right on that...

You can remember a time when a Bush or Clinton was not in the White House - yes. I even remember writing to President Carter to free the hostages in Iran at like age 6 or something...

You've never liked AC/DC - Never. Ever.

You have read a music autobiography or biography - multiple ones. I love biographies!

-I have never dyed my hair.
-I don't care about football and am not sure why you capitalized the word in your list.
-I played varsity tennis in high school.
-I have library cards for my local library, the university library (where I no longer go), and to the library in Monmouth, Oregon (where my aunt lives, because I can't go a week without a library and sometimes stay there that long in the summer).
-I read the local paper every morning online, along with the Seattle Times, The NY Times, CNN & FoxNews (to see what the rabble see), and the Huffington Post.
-I firmly believe in movie theater contraband (and additionally almost always purchase theater popcorn).
-I have read music biographies and autobiographies, most notably everything that has ever been written about David Bowie.
-The Shins have not changed my life, but my mother's thick ankles haunt me. Does that count?

P.S. Not to be a pain, but did you know there's a grammatical error in your previous post? I mean, it's in something your interviewee said, but I would assume you vet those. I only mention it because I spend much of my day fixing grammar and you seem like the type who would probably flog someone publicly for a misused comma.

*I almost always tip 20% - unless the server is an absolute walking disaster.

*I have children - one handsome 6 year old boy and one beautiful 3 year old girl to be exact.

*I love Brett Favre - he plays football like a little kid in the backyard. A lot of fun to watch.

*I can remember Presidents back to Carter.

*I am left handed - it has always given me a strange sense of pride. Maybe it makes me feel a little less ordinary. I seem to solve problems a bit differently than most of my acquaintances.

*McCain momentem makes me a little bit excited - if you look into his past, he has never shown hesitancy to tackle issues that need to be addressed, such as campaign finance reform. He tends much more to the left than most of the other Republican candidates, and most importantly, he has never (at least until very recently) appeared to pander to special interest groups, which has been a cancer to both parties. Regardless, I believe Obama would beat any of the republican candidates in the general election because he has "It".

*I have read several music biographies - most recently "Wilco - Learning How To Die" I've never seen one put out by a member of that one group, I'm trying to remember their name... Oh, yeah - Sleater-Kinney. That's it. They rocked! They should write about their adventures someday. That would most likely be a page turner given the quality of this new blog site.

*Never been to Canada - However, I located it on the map once I think.

*I read the local paper - It's one of the last remaining sources of substantive reporting available. That and NPR. Have you seen a local broadcast news broadcast lately? Just how ignorant are they trying to keep us?

*I have a library card - I don't use it as much as I should, but I have one.

*I sneak snacks into the theater - but not as often as I should.

Not only do I always sneak my own snacks into the movies, but I used to live in a town with free refills on popcorn and drinks. We'd always find discarded bags and buckets and fill up.

Sent by Simone | 6:22 PM ET | 01-24-2008

1. unless there's bad service I always tip at LEAST 20%; However, I think more tips should be given to the chefs.

3. I'm fairly bald, no hair to dye, but I've wanted to on occasion. I find in many cases those who've dyed their hair to be a smidgeon more attractive than they were prior.
6. I've never smoked anything.
7. no children. occasionally this is a great sadness.
8. I dislike Eli Manning's draft day decision to scorn the Chargers and go elsewhere. Spoiled. Brat. I think he's dull as carpet weft. However, I'm no fan of NE and the fact NYG almost beat them does at least give some possibility NE is going down (that was in essence Eli's career-turnaround game until further notice). SO if NYG wins, they will have squashed the perfect season, squashed any foregone conclusions NE is the greatest team ever and it will give the Manning family 2 consecutive superbowl victories (when Archie the dad barely sniffed the playoffs in his day). Fairly intriguing as far as sports go.
9. Neither love nor dislike Brett Favre. It's odd the family can't properly pronounce their own name. I despise sports media frothing at the mouth to praise him the all-mighty. His ironically bad fortune to have so many personal tragedies have had the tremendous advantage of washing away all the personally bad things he's done (that and he has been somewhat more forthcoming about his faults than other atheletes) so we've all forgiven Brett everything and want to be his best friend. Not me.

17. I love libraries, even ones that aren't very good. I have a library card for the city I work in, and the last 2 cities I used to live in. Still active. A bit of an addiction. I'm slowly reducing the number of books on my shelves that I haven't read. Good boy.

20. When I was in high school we (a school in Virginia) did an exchange with a school in Maine. On the day we were to drive them to the airport I had 3 girls from Maine and 2 girls from my school in my bedroom and I played "Stairway to Heaven" for them note for note (thanks to the magazine of Guitar for the Practicing Musician) and then we drove them to the airport. I felt like a god. I did not sing, however. A wise decision.

22. Yeah, I can remember the White House sans Bush or Clinton. Bush Sr., Regan. Someone please help us.
26. I met my most recent girlfriend online, but we haven't been together for 6 months. Hmmm...maybe I should go back online, no?
28. i occasionally sneak snacks into theatres. Until they start selling healthier alternatives or cutting their prices by 65% I'll continue to do so or go without altogether. Not so difficult either way.
31. right now I have no extra money to purchase music. I try to attend more shows since my CD buying power is down, but I haven't been to any shows yet this year either. S. Jones & Dap Kings sold out in Charlottesville last Friday.
32. I still think $40US might be the most I've paid for a concert. R.E.M. in like 1986 or something. I've BEEN to shows that cost way more, but fortunately didn't have to pay.
38. Just about to start one of Nick Drake's bios.
40. I've been to Canada on at least 5 different occasions. I frequently fantasize about moving there. Montreal or Vancouver. Actually, Toronto would be great too.

Sent by Anthony | 6:32 PM ET | 01-24-2008

The following apply to me:

-You don't care about Football

Depending on how accurate you want to be, I strongly dislike football. The sound of it on television annoys the living shit out of me. This is a stronger feeling than "don't care" about football.

-You have a library card

I actually recently unearthed said card from a bin in my parents' basement. It's probably expired, but I HAVE it. :D I don't live in that town anymore, but I'm seriously considering trying to use it. Except for the fact that I have a whole pile of books that I OWN that I haven't read yet, let alone borrowed books.

-You organize your music collection, but not alphabetically

I recently divided it up into topics of my own choosing. More like folders on your computer than genres (though I'm talking about actual physical CDs here). I think the biggest categories are indie rock, techno/electronica, '80s, and then my favorite bands, most of which I have 10-ish CDs from each of.

-You sneak your own snacks or drinks into a movie

My purse is more like a small suitcase (shut up, it's cute and has an owl on it) and I have been known to pop a bag of the free microwave popcorn that they provide at work, stuff it in my purse, and bring that to the movie theatre with me.

-The fact that John McCain is gaining momentum makes you nervous

Indeed, he's a crazy man. However, he is slightly less crazy than others who are running, which makes me slightly less nervous.

-You have not yet purchased music in 2008

Nope. I'm holding back because I have gift cards and I want to make sure I purchase exactly what I NEED, instead of going into the record store and picking things out willy-nilly and getting home and realizing there were 14 other CDs I should have bought instead. I haven't had time to sit down and actually figure out which CDs to buy yet.

-You have paid $100 to see a concert

Exactly $100? I don't know. $100+, yes. I once paid $75/ticket (I bought two, does this apply?) to see Rage Against the Machine back in... 1996 I think. It was 100% worth it. But I can't afford that shit now.

-You will put a presidential candidate's sticker on your car

Kucinich!!!!!!!!!

-You have read a music autobiography or biography

My mom bought me the unauthorized biography of Kurt Cobain when I was in high school. I read it and it didn't impress me (there are much better biographies about him out there I'm sure, this was just a cheesey teen-novel type book). Haven't picked up any since.

Six weeks old and awesome.

*You don't care about Football

*You have a library card

*You met your current boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife online

*You sneak your own snacks or drinks into a movie
I haven't felt the need to do this in Portland since places like Laurelhurst or McMenamins theaters have good cheap food, but it was necessary in Idaho where everything was expensive and crappy.

*The fact that John McCain is gaining momentum makes you nervous
He's such a saint to some people, he could be hard to beat.
*You have not yet purchased music in 2008
newborn baby, too busy

*You've never liked AC/DC

*You have read a music autobiography or biography
I've read a couple oral histories... always an interesting style/genre. Also read Vanilla Ice's autobiography when I was 10. I think it was called "Ice on Ice."

One summer ago I checked out Donovan's autobiography from the library. it's intensely amusing to read, because he uses terms like "hip cat" and "groovy Beat girl" in seeming sincerety. and did you know that the song "Mellow Yellow" is about vibrators?

You dye your hair to cover the grey
*No, but I will soon, if the those grey hairs keep multiplying the way they have in the past year.

You are trying to quit smoking
*See above about trying to get pregnant. Actually, I am done with the nicotine, I just wish pot were ok.

You will be rooting for an upset by the New York Giants during the Super Bowl.
*Heck, yes. Giants aren't that much of an underdog, but, still. The talk around here whether Tom Brady could be better than Joe Montana really chaps my hide.

You played varsity level sports in high school
*I ran track and played soccer. It was a *very* small school, otherwise I would not have made a varsity team, not in soccer at least.

You read your local paper in the morning
*Absolutely. Even though our local paper seems to get worse every year, and I subscribed to the local papers every time I moved to a new town, too.

You have a library card
*Yes, for my town and the larger city I live near, which has a pretty good library.

You can remember a time when a Bush or Clinton was not in the White House
*I remember some episodes of Carter's presidency, including the gas lines and the attack rabbit. We cried when Reagan was elected (out of fear).

You sneak your own snacks or drinks into a movie
*I come from a large family, my parents used to bring a shopping bag full of popcorn to the theater to save money. I will actually buy popcorn at the theater, because I like it when it is hot, but bring my own chocolate and water. Those markups are pretty outrageous.

The fact that John McCain is gaining momentum makes you nervous
*Oh, yes, it does. But I still don't think he has a chance of winning.

You have read a music autobiography or biography
*Bob Marley and Jim Morrison bios when I was in high school; more recently I've read Johnny Cash's autoboigraphy, June Carter's memoir and a bio of the Carter Family.

Sorry, I will just have to add to the unbelievable length of this blog entry:

You always tip 20% at a restaurant--At least 20%. I just think it's a tough way to earn a paycheck. I'm not gonna penalize someone if they're having a bad day at work.

You dye your hair to cover the grey--I have a little patch with skunk-like potential. I try to be preemptive.

You will be rooting for an upset by the New York Giants during the Super Bowl--My upbringing was split between NY and Vermont. For some reason I love NY sports teams and hate New England based sports teams. Being a Yankee fan in Red Sox country builds some serious character.

You love Brett Favre--More of a lust really.

You played varsity level sports in high school--3 lettered!

You have a library card--They have a decent DVD collection. Also very good book sales.

You can remember a time when a Bush or a Clinton was not in the White House--I voted for Gerald Ford in our fourth grade mock election (I felt sorry for him.) Ironically Jimmy Carter is one of my favorite presidents (I've met him twice!)

You have paid $100 to see a concert-- Bruce "I'm for the working man" Springsteen. AND it was just him and his guitar! Little overhead and high ticket prices--what gives Bruce?!

-I don't love him but I respect his loyalty to him team, just something you don't see often in sports anymore.

You don't care about Football
-I personally do not care, but my family forces me too. Baseball is much much worse, as is college basketball. But if football you mean soccer, than I love it.

You played varsity level sports in high school
-Cross country and soccer. Though, cross country was never a choice, but I did enjoy having an excuse to not have to go through "team bonding".It doesn't work, if anything creates more issues than bring us closer. Or atleast for my team.

-Free books!

You have never been alive when a Bush or Clinton was not in the White House

You organize your music collection, but not alphabetically
-Basically it goes by how often I listen to the CD so it can be easier to grab when running out to my car.

You are left handed
-Yup! Which isn't as special as everyone thinks it is, I can't write on a white board without it all ending up on my sleeve. Also, I always end up smearing my signature on important documents, which is always embarrassing.

You sneak your own snacks or drinks into a movie
-Yes because it's just way over-priced to buy it there. Unless I'm going to Enzian Theater, which is were all the independent films are shown in Orlando.

I am addicted to caffeine - I dropped CocaCola for coffee a couple months ago, but I don't really like coffee, so I'm trying to drop caffeine altogether...it's not going well.

I have never dyed your hair - my brown hair is one of the few physical attributes I do like so I leave it be. I even like the gray hairs I'm getting.

I will be rooting for an upset by the New York Giants during the Super Bowl - I root for anyone that beats Tom Brady and Randy Moss. Haaaaaate them (only in a sports fan way). If my Colts can't repeat then Peyton's little brother can beat the Pats. In general, though, not a Giants (or Eli Manning) fan.

I love Brett Favre - He is very pretty. Still, he needs to retire. You had a great season, dude - go out on a high.

I have a library card - This could be because I'm a librarian. I use it mostly to get music.

I can remember a time when a Bush or Clinton was not in the White House - I was born in 1977. I was doing Carter imitations when I was 3. I even remember Geraldine Ferraro.

I sneak your own snacks or drinks into a movie - Just beverages. Occasionally, should the bank account allow, I will lay down bucks for popcorn or Junior Mints, but on the whole I find food distracting while I'm in the theater.

The fact that John McCain is gaining momentum makes me excited - There's a 90% chance that I'll be voting for the Democratic candidate, whoever that will be. BUT it would be nice to have a real choice on the ballot, and I LOVE that the conservative base can't stand him. Viva la McCain.

I have not yet purchased music in 2008 - But I get paid tomorrow, and I have a coupon so that could change.

I have read a music autobiography or biography - So many... I finished The Letters of Noel Coward last week and will start on a history of Stax Records this weekend. After that I hope to tackle that ginormous Beatles biography. Last year I read books on Doc Pomus, John Peel, and the Talking Heads.

I have never been to Canada - But I hope to change that soon. I have friends there now!

I don't care about Football because I live in Australia, have a library card (though I couldn't tell you where it is right now), and I've never liked AC/DC. Sometimes, if I hear one of their songs being played very loud, I - think I get it - but then I listen to a couple more minutes and the feeling passes.
