This is my first College questionnaire, and frankly I'm glad it's one of the most recent ones. It take just too long to fill these out, and it takes longer to search through 3 years of old E-mails to find all of them to post to this website too... anyways.... Now I am positive I reused some answers in this E-mail because it was being sent to many of my new college friends who hadn't read the olds ones so they would never know any better.  I also went on a rant early into this letter, you might read it, its a very interesting take on life...

Feb 01

Hey again! It’s been 7 months since I did one of these so I think its about time to start again.  Of course I have to say that you shouldn’t take my word for any of these answers, I love to joke with them and am hardly serious with them. So just read this for fun! 

 …. after I finished this and reread it, I realized that a lot of the time I wasn’t as funny as I have been in previous letters, and that many of my answer were quite serious. I’m sorry I failed you people in this respect... but oh well, there are still some good ones out there!!!  (if you already took this last comment seriously then you shouldn’t even be reading this, because you don’t know me as well as you think you do)

 

 

Full Name: Jay Patrick Epperhart

 
 *Birthday: 
December 16, 1981
 
 HAVE YOU EVER...
 
 *Had sex-
hmmm, I refuse to disclose that answer…

 

   hehe, only 3 questions into the survey and I am already going into a rant.  Anyways, I have discovered that by withholding the answer to that question you can basically tell what kind of person the person asking it is. It’s one of those psychological answers that give you insight into the other persons mind. For example, some people when hearing that answer will automatically assume that I am a virgin. If they think that, then that means they put a lot of emphasis on sex, and they think it’s a status of adulthood or maturity. Most of the time, these people cannot truly love someone because of these beliefs.  Next, other people may automatically believe that I am not a virgin. These people are usually the more religious types, and they believe I have done something wrong and am feeling guilty for my deeds so I refuse to admit it to them.  No doubtable, there are other types of people out there too, but from my experience I have noticed that most people usually fall in one of those two categories.  Now think to yourself, what was your first thought about me when you read my answer? Did you think I was or wasn’t a virgin?  Either way you are probably in one of those categories. If not, then I guess I am wrong, but so far my assumptions have been 100% correct when people ask me that question and I give them that answer. If you really really must know whether or not I have “done the deed” then feel free to pry it out of me in real life conversation. It will be hard to get, but the answer will probably surprise you (unless I have pegged you all wrong, but I pretty much have my guess of what all of you think my “virgin” status is, or unless I have dated you and you cajoled it out of me).  Anyways, on to the next question…

 

 

*Been in love- well yes, but we have gone our separate ways, which I regret now (hindsight is always 100% correct)

 *Considered your best friends Ben & Jerry
-until they kept trying to get me fat

surprisingly they called off school in 2nd grade because it rained so much that the entire school was flooded.

nope, but my chemistry teacher did (to me)

 * Band:

 *Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend- 
I have many friends of the opposite sex, but none of which I am dating per se

 
 *Do you have a best friend:
sure

phones outrank my intelligence (I can figure out derivatives and computer code like no one else, but you ask me to forward a call and I’m lost)

 
 * Who's your funniest friend-
the original art fiends of my Sophomore year, there were the funniest bunch of seniors ever to befriend an “innocent” sophomore. My life (and mind) has never been the same since.

o one stands out in my mind as being the loudest

Kalyn sure was shy until I got to know her
 
 *Whose parents do you know the best-
I know Jimmy’s mom quite well, I’ve had a few classes with her
 
 *Who do you go to for advice-
it depends on what the subject is.

 
 *Who knows all your secrets-
NO ONE!!! Haha!! You just think you know everything about me! Gwa-haha… Again, I like Kalyn’s answer, if you knew everything about me then you’d have power over me, and we can’t have that.

 
 *Who do you get the most surveys from-
well, mostly those freshm... er, sophomore chicks because one of them sends it to each other and then they all send it to me (plus others, but still I end up getting it more than once)

 
 *Who are you jealous of-
if I said who I was jealous of it would give a lot of things away that doesn’t need to be known yet (hint, I *might* be jealous of someone’s boyfriend just because of who they are dating…) then again, you may or may not know who this is I’m talking about so I guess it wouldn’t matter (some of you do know, others don’t)… gee I love being cryptic
 
 *Who do you cry with-
probably my (ex) girlfriend, I think she was the last one I was with when I cried…

 
 *Cried- don’t honestly know, maybe a sad movie or a romantic moment with someone special

I choose not to eat pillows

 
 *Helped someone-
I love to, in fact I do it all the time, that’s  one of my joys in life I guess

I shave… actually its been too long since I have, I need one done soon, just don’t have the time

 

 *Worn a skirt- um… nevermind

 

 *Worn a tie- last week for a frat thingy

 

 *Been mean- I think my meanness overlaps my friendliness, usually if I am being mean its because we are having fun and its one of those “jokingly” mean things.

 
 *Been sarcastic-
me sarcastic? Ha, yea right!        

 
 *Gone for a run-
hehe, ran home at 6 AM last week just to scare my parents (that’s a 2.5 mile run from the dorm, you can bet they were surprised when I showed up for breakfast)
 
 *Gone for a walk-
whenever I go to class!  Other than that, the last time I went for a walk for the sake of walking was during the ice storm, it was a pretty sight outside.

 
 *Gone to the movies-
whenever I can bum the car from the parents

 
 *Gone out for dinner:
it’s been a while, unless you count the Caddo

 
 *Felt stupid-
ha, well gee.. how about 3 minutes ago, maybe 4

 
 *Said "I love you"-
last time I said it I meant it, and that was a while ago (I guess some things just don’t work out)


 *Written a letter-
you mean other than typing? Well… I had to write a bunch of thank you cards for Christmas pretty recently

 
 *Written a paper-
some paper over Ishmael that still boggles my mind

 
 *Taken a test
- have a couple on Monday which I *should* study for, but...

 
 *Met someone new-
almost everyday

 
 *Written in a journal
- I use to when it was required for a class, and every now and the I read it, and boy it is funny… plus that’s what this is really. In the last 4 years I have written maybe 5 or 6 of these “tell all” E-mails, and when you go back and read them it is really fascinating, I highly recommend it.

 
 * Watched your favorite movie-
my favorite changes a lot so I really can’t answer that

 
 *Talked to someone you have a crush on
- haha, another “8th grade” term… well, in actuality I talk to this person (or persons) quite often, but then again, I talk to all of you quite often, so its not really giving anything away

 
 *Given someone a present
- let’s see, just today in fact, I ordered a CD for someone just because I knew they’d like it and for no other reason than that

 
 *Had a serious talk-
I have serious talks as in “not funny but informative” every now and then, but as for serious as in one of those “getting to know you, boyfriend girlfriend” talks, its been a little too long, and I am starting to miss them (possibly my fault for never bring them up, always being the funny guy)

 
 *Missed someone-
still do, and always will

 
 *Hugged someone
- today, in fact multiple times (different people though), but that’s really only because I went back to my old HS for the first time in a LONG time. And done of my teachers basically, forced me to hug them (let’s just say she wasn’t my “favorite” teacher in the world, but she doesn’t know that)

 
 *Had a nightmare-
I actually enjoy them, it takes a lot to scare me now a days

 
 *Fought with your parents-
let’s see, when was the last time I was home again?

 
 *Fought with a friend-
well, there are those “play” fights, but nothing serious in a long time

 
 *Been Scared-
other than the times I think about the future and stuff, I haven’t been scared in a while
 
 WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME I...
 
 *Wished upon a star-
don’t do it too often, but I step on crickets who do

 
 *Laughed until you cried-
well, I have a tally on how many times I have caused someone to laugh til they cry, and its almost hitting the triple digits now J

 
 *Helped a stranger-
I open doors and other boy scout things, plus I guess you could call my help desk job helping out strangers, because I don’t know most of the people who call

 
 *Played Truth or Dare-
ooh ooh, I want to play!!!  Well, I think I played at a Christmas party a year ago

 
 *Watched a sunrise/sunset-
whenever I jog in the morning. I once purposely got up early during vacation (gasp!!!) just to watch the sun come up over the ocean, because that’s a rarity for me.

 
 *Spent quality time alone:
well a lot of my friends leave for the weekends, so its either spend it alone or with the family… hmmm… still debating that one

 
 *Read a book for fun-
ha!

 
 *Kissed someone u didn't like-
wow, I honestly don’t remember…might have been during those horrifying “mistletoe” parties during my junior high years.  Usually if I kiss them it means I like them

 
 *Kept a secret told to you:
I know something you don’t…

 

 *Hung out with someone u hated- if I hate them would I hang out with them?

 
 *Told someone you hated them-
nope, I don’t want people doing it to me so I return the favor

 
 *Did u mean it-
everyone I’ve “hated” has made amends… or mysteriously dies  J

 
 *Lied to sound good- sound good?
Heck, if I’m lying I know I won’t sound good and my voice will give it away!

 
 *Ditched a friend for a guy/girl-
love can make you do crazy things you learn to regret

 
 *Showered-
today!

 
 *Ate a meal-
I try to eat 6 square meals a day

 
 *What are you wearing right now
? I’m on the computer so of course that means I’m naked!  Ha, sorry, didn’t mean to give you that picture. Actually just jeans and a shirt, nothing spectacular

 
 *Are you lonely-
I can be sometimes, especially on the weekends, but I know I will always have friends so I try not to become lonely

 
 *Are you happy-
in many ways yes, but of course I could be happier, then again, I could be sadder, so it evens out

 
 *Are you wearing pajamas-
yea, my lucky ninja turtle ones… wait, I mean, No…..


 *Are you hungry
: just finished meal number 6
 
 *Are you eating:
not now, I’m pretty full

 
 *Are you talking to someone online
: nope, which is a first
 
 *Are you ready for this survey to end-
please!! I must get out and be social!! (oh wait, everyone is gone, nevermind)
 
 *How long did this survey take you-
too long!!


 DO I BELIEVE IN...
 
 *God/Devil:
oh yea!

 
 *Yourself:
I try to, and succeed many times, but of course we all get depressed sometimes

 
 *Your friends:
yea, because we all need that boost in confidence sometimes

 
 *Aliens:
only my sister

 
 *Love:
yea, its had me by a death grip, I think I better believe in it

 
 *Love at first sight:
I’m sure it can happen, but sometimes its hard to distinguish between love and lust

 
 *Destiny
: I think we all have a place we’ll end up, but its up to us to get there


 *The Closet Monster
: if he’s there, its only because he started growing there when I forgot to clean

 
 *Genetic Engineering-
doesn’t this actually exist?

 
 *One person for everyone:
of course

 
 *Psychic powers-
well not the ones on TV…

 
 *The Big Bang Theory:
nah, I have faith in another way

 

*Government Conspiracies: if I say yes, then “They’ll” know that I am on to “them”

 
 *That squirrels are evil-
oh I am positive, they threw pecans at my and my dog all the time

 
 *That the end of the world is coming:
yea, a telepathic gorilla told me this one

 

*In Heaven/Hell: oh yea

 
 *Outer body experiences:
hmmm....don't think so
 
 *Superstitions: no
 
 
 WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT...
 
 *Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck:
Haven’t you ever watched those cartoons? Bugs always wins!
 
 *Julia Roberts/Cameron Diaz:
forget about who would win, I just want to watch the fight!

 
 *Joey/Chandler/Ross:
heck, I’d take them all on if I could stay in the same room as those other 3 girls

 
 *Monica/Phoebe/Rachel:
hmmm, I’d have to say Rachel (of course I’ still like to watch the fight)

 
 *Michael Myers/Jason:
Jason could always beat Austin Powers… wait a second, you mean Michael Myers from “Halloween”.  Well, Jason because he’s been in 10 movies as compared to the 8 Halloweens.
 
 *Jackie Chan/Mini Me:
This really isn’t a fight is it? More like an opening kickoff at a football game
 
 *Rosanne/Rosie O'Donnell: 
um… I think I will skip this one (some fights not even I want to watch)
 
 *Tom Green/Howard Stern:
I would want Tom to win, but I’d know he would lose. Why you ask?  He’s Canadian.

   Ha, okay its more of an inside joke, but recently a list of the world’s 100 most dangerous men was released. Each man had a 3-4 sentence paragraph describing why they are so dangerous. All of them had this paragraph except Tom, all it said under his name was “He’s Canadian”

 
 *Richard Simmons/Dr. Evil:   
Stop the insanity!! 

 

*Adam Sandler as the Waterboy/Happy Gilmore: hmmm, I’d say Waterboy

 
 *Rain/Shine: 
I never saw Rain, but Shine was about a piano dude so I’d say he would win  J
 
 *Hurricane/Tornado:
hasn’t anyone seen twister around here? I mean if hurricanes are so bad then why haven’t they made a movie about them yet? They aren’t natural disasters until Hollywood makes them one.

 
 *Drunk/High:
If a drunk person and a high person got in a fight then they’d probably accidentally knock themselves out/kill themselves first before they even hit each other (we call that “Thursday nights” in college)

 
 *Blond/Brunette:
another fun fight to watch, but I’d have to go with the blond (I don’t know why, but it just seems right. Some of you are blond, and others are Brunette, you prove me wrong  J

 
 * Here/Anywhere else in the world:
ummm… almost anywhere

 
 *Real World/Road Rules:
Last I checked, Real World was winning

 
 *Luke Skywalker/Han Solo:
Haha, well let’s compare their later movie careers… Harrison Ford or… um… Mark something… well you get the idea

 
 *Darth Vadar/Darth Maul:
I never saw James Earl Jones do a back flip, it would have to be Maul.

 
 *Jar Jar Binks/A rock:
too close to call

 
 *Nowhere to run/Nowhere to hide:
I’d rather not be able to hide than run, because if you can run then at least you can almost get away

 
 *Die by Fire/Water:
How about an underwater explosion J   Fire would be quicker
 
 *Drink the spit of 500 people/Roll around in glass naked in front of them? –
the second one seems more natural than the first, plus you might get hooked up afterwards (girls just love naked people rolling in the grass…. At least that’s what I was told)
 
 
 RANDOM QUESTIONS...
 
 *A wishing well can grant you one virtue (luck, love, intelligence)  for the rest of your life...which do you choose:
I’d say luck, because with luck you never know what will come next, it will always be a surprise and always will be thrilling.  Plus, you can’t get luck any other way. You can usually find love on your own. And intelligence is only helpful if you use it correctly, plus some people can become intelligent just by living and learning.  Luck is the only thing you can’t actually earn, it just happens.

 
 *If you knew the world was going to end in 10 minutes, would you kill yourself: ???-
I’m sure I’d do everything I have been putting off for so long.  Or I could always give the “romantic” answer and say I would find the one person I truly care about and live my last few minutes with her  (okay all together now, say “ahhhhhhhhh...” in a girlish-impressed voice)

 

 *If you had only 2 days to live, what would you do- I would do those things that are “death defying”  because what do you have to lose? Bungee jump, Sky Dive, all those fun things.  Then I’d the same thing I said previously.

 
 *If you were stranded on a deserted island, what  3 items would you want to
 be stranded with-
hmmm… a boat, a map, and a motor… okay seriously: a pocket knife, a really long book (or a survival book), and a picture of loved ones
 
 *If you were stranded on a deserted island, who would you want to be deserted with?
Tom Hanks, because he’d build a boat and get me off (but does it really have to take him 4 years?)… either him or the Professor from Gilligan’s Island, because he knows how to make a radio from Coconuts and condominiums from leaves (didn’t you watch the show?!?).      If you want a serious answer, then it would be a certain girl who will remain nameless. 

 

*Do you believe in horoscopes? I listen to them, doesn’t mean I live by them or even believe them. Honestly, I don’t like the idea that I am not in control of my own life.
 
 *If you could use genetic engineering to create the perfect man/woman, what
 would they be like-
I couldn’t have the perfect woman. If she were perfect, then I would feel bad around her because I know I am not perfect (plus I’d always lose every argument because she could never be wrong).  Now if I were to build the “perfect woman for me” then I would really have to think about that one.  I know what I like, and I know what I dislike, but I also like variety and surprises.  So basically what I am saying is that I don’t know, I’ll let nature build her for me and be happy. 

 
 *You approach a cave w/ 2 entrances. One has a sign that says "This  path is long and dangerous, but will lead you to eternal happiness. The other states "This path is short and simple, but the outcome is unsure. No guarantees can be made by taking this path.” The path
 that I choose will be-
I feel that you have to earn whatever outcome you want, it wouldn’t be worth it if you didn’t work for it. Therefore I say the dangerous one.  Plus I would like the thrill.


 * If you could live in any decade, which would you choose and why:
I would like to live in the 80’s as a teenager because they had so much fun. All these movies like Ferris Bueller and Breakfast Club make me wish I could have been a little older back then.
 
 *What's the worst way for a person to die:
with regrets.    Alright, for a less philosophical answer: Well, I can think of tons of bad ways that seem implausible, but I guess the worst way would be to know that you are going to die in a short time and there is nothing you can to do to stop it (i.e. your oxygen is going to run out in while in space; your boat is sinking in the middle of the ocean and you can’t get out; you end up trapped down a ice cavern and can’t climb out, etc.)

 
 *If you won a million dollars, what would you do with it-
pay someone to write a survey like this for me next time because this took too freakin’ long.

========

Dang, that took a while. Of course I have to say that this was so long that I couldn’t even finish it in one day, so any answers that say “Today” probably mean Friday.  If you have been offended by any of my answers and just want to slap me or curse at me, then write me at Method2880@aol.com. Actually, this guy has no idea who I am or where I live, so I’m sure he will be happy that he’s getting “E-mail curses” for me, so write away!  Finally I should tell you that I am planning on putting together a collection of all these survey’s I have ever written together, because like I said they are good journals and are enjoyable to read. Plus they are really funny! If you want one of these then write back to me and I’ll send them to you. I think they go all the way back to ’97, but I don’t remember, there shouldn’t be that many since I usually don’t reply to these things anyways.  More than likely that will be longer than most of you have even known me so you might want them just to laugh at the “early high school” jay.  Well, that’s it for now, I think I’ve wasted enough of my (and your) time for the next 7 months.  So until then, live happily!
