First Name: Benjamin
Middle Name: Ryan
Name you wish you were called: I think my name is pretty good. I wouldn't know what else to call myself.
Name people actually call you: Ben, Reeder, Rooster, Rey and Denrir (though only online, really)
Height: about 6 feet tall.. a full foot taller than Cat, who I stole this survey from.
Siblings: 3 Schwestern. 2 younger and 1 older.
Birthday: July 14, 1982
What's the funniest picture you can find online right now? Long-time favorite
If you found your soulmate but they were of a gender you aren't attracted to, would you still have sex with them? First of all, I don't even know for sure if that's possible. And secondly, I couldn't have sex with someone I'm not attracted to. And quite franklyI find the idea of having sex with a man disgusting.
What eye color do you wish you had? I have blue eyes and I kind of like that. Though those icy light blue eyes are pretty sharp. I'd probably look weird with them though.
If you could sit down any celebrity and talk to them for a night, who would you pick? I'm not sure.. maybe David Blaine? He could teach me magic!
If you became the opposite gender for a day, what would you do? Uh..well. For the sake of curiosity, probably sexy stuff. But not like, with guys. Because I'd regret it after I lost the estrogen. lol. But then I'd know how women feel. I'd be an EXPERT!
What's the one thing you regret most about last year? Not having been wiser. I'll just say that.
Name one song you wish you could sing: I doooon't know. "I believe in a thing called love." ??? I'll get back to you on this one. Maybe.
Name one song you THINK you can sing: "(In my life) I Love You More" by the Beatles
If you were reincarnated as an animal, what would you be? Some sort of rare bird that people aren't allowed to kill. Like an eagle. I'd love to be able to fly. Oh! And Eagles keep the same mate for life. I like that. *builds a nest*
If you were reincarnated as a movie, what would you be? I'd like to say something cool.. but I'd probably be something like Starsky and Hutch. I think I'm cool, but I'm just goofy. But funny! (sometimes)
What do you want for your birthday this year, that you'll NEVER get? A perfect body.
On the night before your wedding, who do you hope your friends pay to strip for you? I'd feel guilty looking at strippers. I'll pass on that.
How many people have you had a crush on that you can recall? I can't really remember. I've been fond of lots of people. But I wouldn't go so far as to say many of them were actual crushes.
How many of them did you actually have a relationship with? 2
If you were sent into space and you could only take one song, what would you take? Hey Jude. I dunno why.. maybe because it's long? And I might be lonely? I dunno.
What song are you playing on repeat right now? Just Lose It by Eminem. I'm trying to learn the few words I don't already know. Love that song.
If you could choose how to die, what would you choose? Doing something heroic for my family. MY family. Like wife and kids. I dunno why, I just think that's a beautiful way to die. Or of old age. "In the forest, singing sorrowless."
If you only had one day to live, what would you do? I'd spend some time with my family and not say goodbye or let them know I was going. I'd just do everything I could to make it wonderful. Then I'd see everyone else that I loved, spend a short time alone to pray and to think. And then spend the last hours with whoever I love the most.
Where do you see yourself when you're thirty? Hopefully married with a decent paying job that I enjoy enough that I'm no exhausted when I come home. I have a house and am thinking about kids. I have a hobby that I've decided to pursue in my spare time.. something I can never seem to decide on or have time for now.
Why? Because I think being content is the key to being happy. And those are the basic things you need in your life. Everything else is secondary.
If you were famous for just one thing, what would you hope it would be? Coming up with a completely original idea. It hardly matters what it is, though I hope it would be helpful to people.
If you absolutely had to tattoo your entire back with something, what would you choose?
What's the last book you finished reading? Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings (part of the Belgariad. Very good.)
What are you reading right now? Nothing. Well, Proverbs. I'm out of books.
What's the last thing you ate? *cough* A slivver of chocolate cake.
List five things you need in your room: The Army has taught me that apparently I don't need ANYTHING in my room. But I'd like to have in my room these things: 1.books, 2.music of some sort, 3.a phone, 4.a TV/DVD player, 5.ya know.. a bed.
five websites you visit every day: 1.Army Knowledge Online (email), 2.blogger.com/blogspot.com, 3.livejournal.com... those are the only ones I visit EVERY day, really.
List five people you would bring to Purgatory with you (strictly to while away the boredom, of course!): Eh, I wouldn't. They either belong in Hell or I'd want them to be in Heaven. Not.. that I believe in Purgatory anyway. :P
List five fictional characters you wish were real: Tough one..
If someone paid you to have sex with them, would you do it? Well if my significant other wanted to tip me, that'd be great! But I'd just buy her stuff with it. :P In otherwords, no.
What if you were single and they were hot? No no, I have more self worth than that.
Have you ever hugged a pillow at night and pretending it was someone else? No. *lies*
Have you ever asked someone out on a date? Of course.
Have you ever been asked out? Yes, though coming from girls they usually make it seem like you asked THEM out. But it isn't so.
Have you ever given someone your phone number? Yes. But not like in the way that you walk into a bar and say "hey, here's my number." Though I've sometimes wondered if I could do that in a smooth enough way that they'd actually call me back.
Has anyone ever dropped you their digits? Yeah.
When do you usually go to bed at night? Whenever I want to/whenever the Army lets me.
What was the lowest grade you got last year? B. By no means the worst grade I've EVER gotten.
How much money do you make an hour? I have a salary, or base-pay as it's called. Work in my allowances for food and my hazardous duty pay and such.. right now, it's a pretty good amoung. $32... that's my venture.
Who do you know has the coolest hairstyle? Couldn't tell ya. The people I see with really interresting hair I usually don't know.
Is life worth living? Absolutely. Everyone has something to live for, whether they see it or not. Even if that thing is something in the future.
Are there aliens? Probably something completely unextraordinary. Like a plant or a rodent. Maybe intelligent life too though, I have no idea.
Are there ghosts? I think there probably are, but they're probably not exactly what we suppose they are.
Do you think your journal is interesting to read? Occasionally. But for the most part, no. Hopefully it's interresting to certain people.
Do you think other people enjoy reading it? Read above.
Who has more fun, single people or married people? Single people have more instances of fun, probably. But married people have more, BETTER fun. Fun that lasts and that you remember as special. Single people fun is often regretted.
Why do so many journals talk about suicide? Several reasons. Some people use their journals to show off.. to get attention. Just as many people pretend to be suicidal to get attention. Others talk about it in their journal as a call for help, since calls for help are usually subtle and out of the way so as to avoid actual confrontation about it. Or perhaps they're just venting. Many possible answers.
When you look in the mirror, what do you see? One handsome fella. But then I am blinded by the whiteness.
What do you wish happens next year? I hope I get closer to a certain person and that oportunities will open themselves. And I hope that I take advantage of those opportunities.
And finally, what's the worst feeling in the world? Betrayal. Abandonment. Loss. Those kinds of things.

Wow, that is a long survey..but glad you took it. Saves me from having to ask the questions myself. I really liked your answer to the "if you could choose how to die" question. Very noble, Ben. =)
