something I haven't done for sometime...

Here's something I haven't done for a long time now - a survey!!! I'm sure most of you know how it works, copy the whole thing, then change the answers to fit who you are, blah blah.

1. FIRST NAME?
Manuel Elias

2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Manuel is the same name as my dad, who also got it from his dad..., the Elias was included so that I wouldn't need to put a "III" since my dad already has junior as his suffix.

3. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
Not anytime recently. I can't remember having a good cry for sometime now.

4. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Personally, I like my handwriting. I know I write surprisingly small for someone my size. But it's legible and my notes are very neat.

5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Lunch meat? Hmm... back in college, it was always siomai with 2 cups of rice! Now, a nice meal of beef curry with rice at Curry in a Hurry will always hit the right spot!

7. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
I would think I'd be friends with myself.

8. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?
Since I wanted to be accurate with this survey, I asked a few people and I got various answers. I guess the best answer would be what my friend niko said - Put another way, I'm potentially more sarcastic than you, thus you don't seem all that sarcastic to me. But coversely, Karla's less sarcastic than you, hence you seem markedly sarcastic to her
