I thought of you when I posted this; you're the reason it's not friends-locked. :-)
Here were my answers on the LJ I got this from, slightly amplified/altered since I was in a hurry then and besides, now I've had time to think about it.
01) Are you currently in a serious relationship? Yes.
02) What was your dream growing up? To be a veternarian. Although I had a lot of dreams.
03) What talent do you wish you had? Ability to sing well. I really, really wish I could.
04) If I bought you a drink what would it be? Diet Coke.
05) Favorite vegetable? Avocado. I am a big vegetable fan though so really anything other than green bell peppers.
06) What was the last book you read? _Deja Demon_.
07) What zodiac sign are you? Leo.
08) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where. Only ears, multiple times.
09) Worst Habit? Procrastination.
10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride? Sure. (This applies to anyone reading this.)
11) What is your favorite sport? If I had to pick one it'd probably be baseball, but I originally answered this N/A because I'm so indifferent to sports as to render the word 'favorite' irrelevant.
12) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude? Optimistic. Although optimistic in an extremely anxious-about-the-future way. Hmm. Maybe the most accurate way to put it is that I always expect disaster but I have a lot of hope too.
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? Help you yell for help.
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you? I've removed my original answer because I decided in retrospect I don't really want to get into it, and describing my other worst thing would violate someone's privacy. Let's just say all of my worst things happened to other people whom I love.
15) Tell me one weird fact about you. I can close up my nose from the inside voluntarily.
16) Do you have any pets? One hamster. Our beloved dog Jane recently died, and our family has a major dog-sized hole in it right now.
17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly? When I answered this originally, I said surprised, because I would be quite surprised if the owner of that LJ showed up at my house. However, the more general answer is "embarrassed", because it's pretty much a given that my house is always embarrassingly messy.
18) What was your first impression of me? When I answered this originally, I said "I don't remember". That's mostly globally true, too. It takes me a long time to learn people's names and faces, so by the time I've actually got an impression of someone, they seem always to have been around. There are very few people I remember meeting.
19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary? Scary, but that's mostly my Stephen King infobase talking.
20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? I'd want a smaller nose. Assuming that 'total body transplant' isn't an option. Oooh, no, I know - I'd look the way I did when I was 24. Does that count as 'one thing'?
21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience? More of a conscience type I think.
22) What color eyes do you have? Gray.
23) Ever been arrested? No.
24) Bottle or can soda? Can.
25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it? Buy a new car.
27) What's your favorite place to hang out at? Home. (But I'm very happy when people are here to hang out with me.)
28) Do you believe in ghosts? Mostly no.
29) Favorite thing to do in your spare time? Read.
30) Do you swear a lot? Not too much; I get more effect out of cursing sparingly.
31) Biggest pet peeve? People who talk to me while I'm trying to get something done.
32) In one word, how would you describe yourself? Distracted.
33) Do you believe/appreciate romance? Yes.
34) Favourite and least favourite food? Favorite: Cheese. Least favorite: Natto.
Ayuh, sure enuf
02) What was your dream growing up?
To be a race car driver
03) What talent do you wish you had?
I wish I could play music, even just guitar
