It represents the start of a new week full of possibilities. An opportunity to outdo last week. A chance to surprise yourself, impress your peers, and push the boundaries of your comfort zone into the electric frontier of your limitless potential. It's also the day I treat myself to Starbucks on my way to work.

Collect as much money as possible and hope that money becomes and object again soon.

Absolutely. I've pretty much always believed that aliens exist. I also don't have any proof. I know that the entirety of the space that exists outside of our planet is so mind-numbingly large, it just seems so very unlikely that we are alone in it.

Yes. Especially when people know what my actual last name is. ;)

NFL. Go Colts!

That little hesitation when I first hit the main page when it (seemingly) tries to decide if I'm already logged in and then jumps over to my logged-in view after showing me the login form for a few seconds.

I've experienced several earthquakes when I lived in southern California. The worst was the Northridge quake. I was never in any danger but it was quiet an experience. Once you realize you aren't going to die, it's kinda fun.
