Enter apathy.

INT. APARTMENT

Michael, who has to have virtually everything he owns packed up and moved to a corner of the apartment which he also has to clean before he goes to bed in less than twenty-four hours, sits on the couch perusing the same five useless web sites until his eyeballs begin to bleed.

MICHAEL: Meh.

1. When was the last time you filled one of these out?
Ages ago.

2. Did you feel as guilty then as you do now for wasting your time on it?
Always.

3. About how much time do you think you'll spend per question on this survey?
About 2 seconds.

4. How does that compare to the amount of time you normally give surveys?
About the same.

5. When you think about how much time you've spent filling these out cumulatively over the course of your life, how does that make you feel?
Amounting to a total of about 15 minutes, not too bad. I spend more time on the toilet reading the little sticky label that's stuck inside the shower door guide.

6. If I were to change tacks right now, how would you feel about that?
Whatever. This is your survey.

7. What topic would you like to answer questions about?
Ask me about my marital status.

8. Why that topic?
So I can post this on my myspace and hope that my crush reads it and realizes I'm single and we're meant to be together. That's what everyone else does, right?

9. I don't really know what you're talking about. On a scale from red to violet, how does that make you feel? (for bonus points, write your response in a haiku that evokes that hue.)
Red. I don't care about bonus points.

Define celebrity.

11. How do your feelings for that celebrity compare to your feelings for John Malkovitch?
Did you spell his name right?

Pluto. You can't un-planet a planet in my opinion.

13. Was this planet your favorite before or after it was decided that Pluto is not a planet?
As I was saying...

14. What was the first Halloween costume you can remember wearing?
A smurf?

15. For what other occasions would you consider wearing a similar costume?

LOL, Idk

17. Can you spot the grammatical error in the previous question?
I don't know. I'm not THAT smart. Yet.

18. What is a comma splice?
n. Improper use of a comma to join two independent clauses.

Dictionary.com

20. Joe and Mary go to the supermarket to buy ingredients to bake cookies. Joe buys one pound of chocolate chips at $1.25/pound and one and three eighths pounds of flour and $0.79/pound. Mary buys six ounces of butter at $2.35/pound and six eggs at $3.00/dozen. Who loves who more?
This question required more than the alloted 1 second of reading time.

The grizzley bear, because be probably could have taken my boss out.

Stop asking me shit. It's none of your damn business.
