What's the most drastic change you've ever made to your appearance?
Submitted by Laurie.
My freshman year in high school my hair was just a little longer than shoulder length and I randomly got it all chopped off one day.
A friend of mine was staying the night one weekend and we both had really long hair at the time and just decided to go get it cut. I asked my dad to drop us off at the mall and he did, so we went to the barber shop inside and came out with really short spiky hair. It was spiked all over, I was uber-punk rock.
I dyed it a few weeks later really bright blonde and I looked like Billy Idol.
I was cool.
What's your favorite radio station, past or present?
I've never been a huge radio listener since I've always had a cd or tape player, but I've recently started listening to NPR quite a bit since I'm spending a lot more time in the car with my new job.
I also occasionally switch to Rock 103 to see what they're playing. I wouldn't call it a favorite station by any means, but we don't have a lot of good ones here to choose from.
I like 105.3 The Buzz in Atlanta.
And Howard 100 on Sirius satellite radio, of course.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Why?

New York, New York
I'd probably choose the East Village if I could be picky, but I'd settle for any borough/neighborhood that wasn't hazardous to my health.
What are your top 25 most played songs?

I don't think this adaquetly reflects my musical tastes. Somtimes at my old job I'd put it on a song and play it on repeat and forget about it and take my headphones off. I'd do this a lot, which explains several of these "guilty pleasure" songs.. but either way, this is my list straight from my iPod.
- New Found Glory / Sincerely Me
- New Found Glory / Hit Or Miss
- New Found Glory / Second To Last
- James Blunt / You're Beautiful

I’ve been eyeing the ingredients to make a pizza for a week or 2 now and finally decided to give it a shot. What a rip off. It’s much easier (and a bit cheaper) to buy a delicious Red Baron frozen pizza than to buy all this crap and attempt to make one. It actually looked a LOT worse before it finished cooking. Maybe not to you, but I was starving, so to me it looked a lot better when it was finally edible.
It didn’t taste too bad, but it didn’t taste all that great either. I’ll never attempt to make one again. $7.50 for that piece of crap. Red Baron all the way.
Show us some concert photos.

A day late and a dollar short. But, I'm posting a video instead of pictures :)
I didn't take the video, but I was there! It was the annual QN5 Megashow at CBGB's this past July. GREAT show. This is Tonedeff & Substantial performing a song called "Punk" they premiered at the show.
The truth is, Columbus' ship The Santa Maria ran aground on Christmas Eve, 1492. The Taino chief, Guacanagari, sent people out with canoes to unload all the men and supplies from the ship.
Columbus then took his offer to come ashore and wrote this, "The King observes such a wonderful estate in such a dignified manner that it is a pleasure to see. Neither better people nor land can there be. The houses and villages are so pretty. They love their neighbors as themselves and they have the sweetest speech in the world and they are gentle and they are always laughing."
Alongside, "I could conquer the whole of them with fifty men and govern them as I pleased."
As a token of gratitude for the rescue, Columbus gave Guacanagari a red cape. In return, Guacanagari gave Columbus a gold tiara. To Guacanagari it was a fair exchange opening up trade between the 2 groups, to Columbus it was a crown making him King and surrendering the land and the people to Spain.
And the conquest began.

Enjoy your day off from work.
Show us a drawing of an animal.
It's a liger. It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for it's skills in Magic.*
*I wonder how many other people posted the same thing. I'm lame and unoriginal :(
What gameshow or reality show would you kick butt on?
I'm usually pretty good at answering the questions on Cash Cab when I catch it on. I like to think I'd be good on Survivor, but if I could pick any reality show to be on it would be the Real World. Then I could go to all the challanges and win them.
