(no subject)
Stolen from wardo68 .
Which bill do you hate paying the most?
Anything that involves penalties that I could have avoided. Otherwise the credit card bill.
Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
*scratches head* Some mexican joint.
What do you really want to be doing right now?
Having an uncluttered mind.
How many colleges did you attend?
If a single course counts, then four as a student and five as a teacher.
Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
Because it was black and comfy.
What are your thoughts on gas prices?
Too high, maybe. But Europeans pay more, so maybe not. But that's because of taxes. Is that necessarily bad? There's also the problem of insufficient refineries and cartel price fixing. Oh, US driving habits influences gas prices too, and ...
First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
No alarm. Just woke up to the sound of my son.
Last thought before going to sleep last night?
"I should get to bed earlier."
Do you miss being a child?
Not terribly. There are ups and downs, but life just gets better and better over the long-term.
What errand/chore do you despise?
Going around the house and picking up all the garbage from the little friggin cans and then filling the big cans and rolling them all the way up the long hill and...
Get up early or sleep?
Either, as long as it's my choice. (Stolen from Wardo68!)
Have you found real love yet?
Oh sure.
Favorite lunch meat?
Buffalo chicken.
What do you get every time you go into Wal-Mart?
Irritated. (Stolen again!)
Beach or lake?
Lake with trees. Lots of trees. And ... NO PEOPLE.
Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual?
For some. Not for others.
Sopranos or Desperate Housewives?
Neither. TV is not a high priority.
What famous person would you like to have dinner with?
Oh boy. So many interesting people. Not an entertainer though. Predictably, I'd prefer a brainy type.
Have you ever crashed your vehicle?
Sadly, yes, in January of 1990.
Ever had to use a fire extinguisher for its intended purpose?
No.
Ring tone?
Always on vibrate.
Strangest place you have ever brushed your teeth?
India?
Somewhere in California you've never been and would like to go?
Some national park I haven't seen yet.

Rarely.
At this point in your life would you rather start a new career or a new relationship?
No! Love 'em both.
How old are you?
37.
Do you have a go-to person?
Depends on the going-tooing. Wife for some. Other people for other things.

Mostly. (Stolen *again* from the magic Wardo68!)
Growing up, what were your favorite cartoons?
Tom & Jerry and Bugs Bunny.
What about you do you think has changed the most?
I'm more patient. Still working on that though.
Looking back at high school were they the best years of your life?
No. College was better, probably the best years. But why think of the past in those terms?
Are there times you still feel like a kid?
Daily. (Me an Wardo68 gotta have a mind-link or something)
Did you ever own troll dolls?
No.
Did you have a blackberry?
Hell no! No corporate leash for me.
Where was the hang out spot when you were a teenager?
Uh. Some place in Westport near the town center. Also, at whomever's house D&D was hosted. (Yes, I played D&D. Still do when I can. But you probably know that already)
Were you the type of kid you would want your children to hang out with?
Mostly. I wasn't into trouble.

My parents, my teachers, and my friends.
Was there a teacher or authority figure that stood out for you?
One or two in college who turned me on to research and writing.

To my students. Sometimes they show interest. Only sometimes.
Why are you writing this meme?
To avoid going to bed, it's almost 1am but I'm not that tired.
