If I'm not in a rush, and I don't have to return it to the other side of the parking lot, then yes.

3. In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener?
Social setting. What social setting? I'm too busy looking for the escape route.

4. Do you take compliments well?
If they're complimenting me, they want something. Stand back!

5. Are you an active person?
Only between 11 PM and 5 AM. And Thursday night volleyball. Unless heavy pacing in my room and threatening the chandelier foolishly hanging under my floor counts.

You Belong in New Zealand

Good on ya, mate You're the best looking one of the bunch Though you're often forgotten... You're quite proud of who you are

Last summer I went to New Zealand as part of the International Student Volunteers. It was a one month program: the first two weeks were spent doing environmental/conservation work and the second two weeks were all about extreme sports. Let's face it, New Zealand is the adventure capital of the world -- beats Australia even. A year later I still feel like I'm there. So sad, but it's true. I still wake up in bed some mornings expecting to be in New Zealand. And oddly, it's the first two weeks that stick with me the most. The group of us lived in a cabin (barracks style) with no heat and outdoor bathrooms, mattresses so thin they might as well not have been there, and spiders (and other scary crawly things galore!). What does it say about me if I still wish I was there?
