Survey responses!
As it turns out, for aesthetic reasons the Testimony website this year will contain only a bit of a "best of" in the survey response / cast bios section. This is understandable, but sad, because I spent a good long time on that survey, both authoring and responding, and I'm sure y'all did too. Anyway, lest these gems of insight be lost forever, I'm going to go ahead and post them here. So here it is. Everything You Never Wanted to Know About Testimony - The Website Survey Unabridged. Have fun!
PS - Check out how many people would be mint chocolate chip. Spooky.

-What is your favorite bible passage?
Isaiah 30:21 - "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'" Such a beautiful picture of God's enduring grace, even in our enduring disobedience. I love Isaiah.
-Do you have a favorite song?
Tough call. The Turtles' "So Happy Together"? Moxy Fruvous' "King of Spain"? Stavesacre's "Gold and Silver"? How about U2's "Please"? The list goes on...
-What kind of music do you like?
All sorts. Most of what I own is obscure Christian rock, with a good bit of old style latin and jazz mixed in. Some oddball world music and the requisite classical library to round it all off, and there you have it.
-What kind of music do you hate?
I tend to not like rap, mostly because of the swearing. I don't like country (sorry, but it's true.) Musicals sometimes get on my nerves. Pop can be good, but it's touchy.

Tough call between "Through the Looking Glass", "The Great Brain", "The House at Pooh Corner", and "The Phantom Tollbooth".
-What is your favorite comic strip or cartoon character?
Hobbes (close second: the Looney Tunes sheepdog)
-Tell us your most embarrassing story.
-How about the stupidest comment you've ever made?
It's not like the stupidest thing ever, but recently what with the school year starting and all, I've found myself introducing myself not a few times to people who I definitely already know, but whom I seem to have temporarily forgotten. Awkward, one finds it.
-What’s your favorite game?
Right now, good old contract bridge. Just wish I could get more of it in. Also, I've been very impressed with "Total War: Rome", from the little I've seen and the slightly more I've heard.
-What’s your least favorite chore?
I hate cleaning bath tubs. So awkward. So much scrubbing.
-Do you play any instruments?
I'm sloooowwwly learning how to play congas, and I can plunk out a few things on guitar.
-What’s your weirdest pet peeve?
I can't stand it when people tap on desks and stuff. This is weird because I am constantly tapping on desks and stuff.
-How many stuffed animals did you bring to college?
Right now, I've got six. A big help is the fact that a couple of my friends have taken to sending me a stuffed animal every month. Because they are awesome.
-What is hanging on your dorm room wall?
Let's see... Three Yamaha Mallets posters, two frisbees, a frame drum, a hat, a stuffed duck hand puppet sitting on the hat, three small Van Gogh prints from a calendar, a weekly schedule, a picture of Bellingham, some maps of the NorthWest, and some assorted art posters.
-Do you like things minimalist or froofy?
Closer to minimalist.
-What is your most entertaining way to procrastinate?
I like to dink around on my drums or check out peoples' blogs and other webthings. Updating my AIM profile and fiddling with iTunes also take up a good chunk of my free time.
-What’s your favorite website?
Right now, it's mine (www.stanford.edu/~rmajors), because it has links to everything worth seeing.
-How do you get around campus?
On my feets.
-What’s your most memorable driving story?
So, when I was in driver's ed, I once had a drive in which I was learning to navigate one-way streets. I had made a series of left turns from one way street to one way street (and thus into the closest lane), when suddenly I turned left and the street turned out to not be one way. So there I was, with three lanes of oncoming traffic. My instructor made some indistinguishable utterance and jerked the wheel over rather ambitiously, and soon enough I was in the right lane again. But it rattled me. Hoo boy.
-Have you ever been lost?
Yes. Once, Brian Russell and I set off to find Kirkland, armed only with an address of a store there and the knowledge that it is "somewhere between Bellingham and Seattle." After many hours worth of excellent storytelling material, we finally made it. For those of you who don't know, Kirkland is not actually between Bellingham and Seattle (at least not in the usual way.)
-What’s your most well hidden personality trait?
My certain je ne sais quoi.
-What do you wish people knew about you?
That all I really want in this world is a pair of flaming orange pants.
-When in your week are you the happiest?
I'd say Thursday around dinner. Right after E40 lab, and I'm freeeeeee.
-What else am you involved with on campus?
RUF, a little this and that in the fellowship community.
-What do you most wish you could get involved with on campus?
KZSU. It is my dream to have my own radio show. I'd like to play in a band, too.
-What brand of toothpaste do you use?
Whatever's cheapest. Right now, that appears to be "Colgate Fresh Confidence With Whitening Gel (Helps Eliminate the Bacteria that Cause Bad Breath)"
-If you were an ice cream flavor, which would you be, and why?
I would be Mango Sherbet, with a topping of sweet chile sauce. Hardly anyone knows it exists, and it tends to repulse those who encounter it. It's strange, a little zesty, and certainly not for everyone. An acquired taste which is loved by a very few. Unforgettable and outrageous. Orange. All that, plus it leaves a jangly taste in your mouth.
-What is the most addictive junk food ever?
Cheez-its, I do believe.
-What is your favorite on-campus food?
The cheese blintzes they have at brunch every now and again aren't bad, but I recently had some peach cobbler out of Stern that was absolutely to die/kill/major-in-electrical-engineering for. It was so amazingly fantastic, you cannot even begin to imagine. I was, in short, duly impressed.
-What is your favorite planet besides Earth?
What with Cassini and all, it's got to be Saturn.
-If you could choose the ideal number of keys to carry around with you, balancing functionality with convenience, what would it be?
Three. Four, if they come with a car.
-Do you like clowns?
I never met a clown I didn't like.
-What is your least favorite question on this survey?
There was nothing wrong with this survey. It was brilliant - the subtle nuance, the bold proclamation, the ducking, weaving, and other rhetorical jinking. Whoever wrote this thing is a sheer genius. And dashingly handsome, to boot.

that isn't in the above, please add it. Yay, creativity!
Okay...
What's your favorite book/piece of literature? (I was waiting for this question! Where'd it go?)
