A friend of mine sent me this survey, I don't remember who because I have gotten so many of them, but I found the one I filled out while sorting through some old emails, and I figured it would be cool if I updated it and added it to the site. Then I got another survey from Kate and I added in a few questions from that one. If you have any other questions you would like me to answer of this sort, just ask and I'll gladly add them, along with the answers of course, pending my review of the nature of the question.

FULL NAME: April "You Don't Need To Know My Middle Name" Sandell

BIRTHDAY AND LOCATION: June 9, 1981 (that makes me 22) at Albert Einstein Hospital in the Bronx.

HOW OLD DO YOU LOOK: A few summers ago (I haven't changed any since then by the way), I went to a Yankee game with my brother and it was one of those giveaway days for kids, and you have to be 14 or under to get whatever it was. At that time, my brother was 14, and we walk in, and instead of offering him the thing, they ask me!  Then over the summer, I was in Duane Reade with a friend (who is the same age as me), and she thought that we were both 14.

ANY PIERCINGS OR TATTOOS: My belly button ring!

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE COPS: Well, it depends. What kind of involvement are we talking about?  (wink, wink)

DREAM CAR: VW Van, with all the 60's stuff painted on it, and the beaded curtains in the window.  Or a Honda Civic.

FAVORITE SONG LYRIC: "All you need is love".

IF YOU WERE ON A DESERTED ISLAND, AND YOU COULD ONLY BRING ONE CD WITH YOU, WHAT WOULD YOU BRING: Abbey Road by the Beatles.

FAVORITE THING TO DO ON WEEKENDS: Have fun?

LIVING ARRANGEMENTS: Back in the ol' house... for now anyway. 

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT OUIJA BOARDS: True story... I used to think they were a load of bull until a camp trip when I brought mine along. I was using it with three of my friends. I know I wasn't moving it and two of my friends weren't moving it, but I dont know about the other one. Either way, we were just asking random questions and one of my friends had the bright idea to ask who it was we were speaking to, and it answered "God". One of my friends got completely freaked and ran out of the room hysterically crying, but that's not the point. So we didn't use it for the rest of the night since we refocused our attention on her, making sure she was okay. Later on one of the counselors wanted to borrow it and use it with a bunch of guys in his group. Later on he came back to me and he told me that it was the first time ever that he had to move it himself. Now, the ironic thing here is that I'm an athiest, but I wasn't at the time, so I dont know if it's ironic anymore, but anyway, I was convinced that God broke the connection that the board had with the spirits and haunted it or something.

YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW: Chicago Hope, with Star Trek: TNG, and Felicity (please don't laugh at me).  I think I have to stop having favorite shows because they keep going off the air.

WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD: The one I have at home is kinda a sci-fi thing. There are some small colorful moons or planets or whatever they may be, then there's some interplanetary dust thats rainbow colored, and then there's a big moon or planet or whatever that plays as the background for this little city with cool looking sky scrapers that are built on a cloud. The one I have at school though, because I forgot my other one at home and just went out to get another one, is just plain purple.

FAVORITE BOARD GAME: I was never big on board games, but the ones that come to mind are Monopoly, Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, and it's always fun with the game of LIFE!

FAVORITE SMELLS: The smell of my dad's cooking, spaghetti and meatballs in particular, right as I'm coming into the house. He makes the best sauce I have EVER had.

WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD: I wish I could say that this has never happened to me, but when a friend tells me that they can't trust me and that I have hurt them, I felt like I was such a failure in life and in everything I do. The death of a loved one is a close second.

BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD: The feeling that I have inside when someone I love holds me in his arms, when he kisses me, when I talk to him, and whenever I'm with him, or even think about him. I guess you could call it the feeling of being in love.  In a close second is knowing that I'm wanted.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK WHEN YOU WAKE IN THE MORNING: Is that really what time it is? 

ROLLER COASTERS - SCARY OR EXCITING: Amazing and exciting, I think I have only been scared of one ever.

HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE ANSWERING THE PHONE: Two. It used to drive Jenn crazy. :)

FUTURE DAUGHTER'S NAME: Elizabeth or Emily

FUTURE SON'S NAME: Jonathan

FAVORITE FOODS: Burgers (my dad's in particular), New York pizza (it's no good anywhere else, and of course that doesn't include fast food pizza such as Dominos or Pizza Hut or anything like that).

CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA: Is there anything in the world other than chocolate????

DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE: Oh yeah, driving with my friends with Beatles music blasting is the best!

DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL: Yes, and proud to say I do, although I think the proper question to ask is "How many?".  I have my teddy bear that I've had for my entire life that my mom baught for me when she was pregnant with me. I also have a duck my brother gave me, and my eeyore that I got for my 18th birthday.  There are a bunch of other ones, but they're just not as cool.

STORMS - COOL OR SCARY: How bad is the storm? 

WHAT TYPE WAS YOUR FIRST CAR: Wish I could answer this one, at home I drove my dad's car (an '88 Ford Taurus).

IF YOU COULD MEET ONE PERSON DEAD OR ALIVE: John Lennon, with George Harrison coming in second, with Steven Tyler and Jon Bon Jovi right after them. Actually, if I had a chance to meet them, knowing me, I'd run away totally freaked, so forget about them. My grandfather on my mother's side died when I was two, and I never got to know him. I mean, I have a couple of small memories of him, but none of quality spending time with him. I would love to do that.

FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK: Midori Sours are soooo good!  I also love screwdrivers and mimosas. 

WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN: My birthday is June 9 (69, hehe), that makes me a Gemini, which is kinda cool cause my mom was a twin, and the Gemini sign matches my birthday. 

DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI: I like the whole thing, but when I was younger, that was the only part I liked.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED, WHAT WOULD IT BE: Making environmental legislation.

IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR, WHAT WOULD IT BE: My hair is brown, which I reall like, but it would be perfect if it were a bit lighter or maybe more red.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE: I thought that I was a bunch of times, but it's really only been once. 

WHAT IS ON YOUR WALLS IN YOUR ROOM: hehe... I think it would take less time to tell you what ISN'T on my walls.

IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL: Depends on my mood.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SNAPPLE: Peach Raspberry

FAVORITE MOVIES: "Almost Famous", "Empire Records", "Help!", "Lost and Delirious"

ARE YOU A LEFTY, RIGHTY, OR AMBIDEXTROUS: Righty.

DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE KEYS: Do you expect me to type with my eyes? How am I supposed to type with my fingers off the keys?????

WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED: I should probably look and find out.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER: 18.  I don't know why I've always loved that number, but when Scott Brosius joined the Yankees with that number, it was like destiny. 

FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH: The only sport that I'm really interested in is Baseball. GO YANKEES!!!

FAVORITE SPORT TO PLAY: None, I don't like playing sports, unless you consider intimate activities that require a lot of energy a sport (hehe). Yes, I know I have a one track mind.
 
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ARTICLE OF CLOTHING: My mom's old gray hooded zip-up sweatshirt.
 
FAVORITE PHYSICAL FEATURE OF THE OPPOSITE SEX: Those muscles below the waist that go downward... ladies, you know what I mean, hehe.
 
IF YOU COULD PLAY ANY INSTRUMENT, WHAT WOULD YOU PLAY: Well I'm not very musically inclined, and the guitar learning is going rather slowly... but the more I think about it, I'd make a damn sexy bass player.
 
IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPERPOWER IT WOULD BE: I want to be able to go back in time and right my wrongs.
 
IF YOU WERE A CRAYON WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU WANT TO BE:  Periwinkle!!!
 
WHERE DO YOU PLAN ON GOING FOR YOUR HONEYMOON:  Somewhere nice and warm, preferably with palm trees cause they're cool.
 
HOW DO YOU EAT AN OREO:  Easy... put in in your mouth and chew.  What kind of a stupid question is that?
