Stolen from he_who_hunts
I'm at work, and semi-busy, so some answers may be short and to the point.
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
The Archangel Michael, before he discovered the joys of heroin.
2.WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
Yesterday after a horrific dream I had. Well, to be honest, I woke up in tears.
3.DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Not especially. I'm a messy writer, so I prefer to type.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Smoked Turkey (same as he_who_hunts)
5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
None that I know of, which is likely a good thing. Children love me as an uncle or a babysitter, but I don't know how well I would do with my own.
6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
Of course! I am a good friend, even if I'm somewhat of an asshole from time to time.
7.DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?
Only about as much as I use oxygen for metabolic processes.
8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
Sure do.
9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
Probably not...but I'd get real close to doing it.
10.WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
Quaker Oatmeal Crunch.
11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
Not if I can help it.
12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?
Emotionally or physically? Physically I am slightly above average, but if I become angry enough I am like the Hulk.
Emotionally...
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
14.WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
Whether they are smiling, frowning, or dumbfounded. Seems as good a way as any to calculate my approach vector.
15. RED OR PINK?
Hmmm...I prefer blue, but I can go with red.
16.WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
I dislike the way I allow a river of negative self-thoughts to flow through my head. Even though I have many talents and great qualities, they are often diluted with negative thoughts about myself.
17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
All of the friends I left behind when I moved to Virginia.
18. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO SEND THIS BACK TO YOU?
Of course! I like reading about my friends.
19. WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?
Blue jeans and green New Balances.
20. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?
Smoked turkey on wheat.
21. WHAT ARE YOU listening to RIGHT NOW?
The Tennors--Run come. Great reggae/rock steady music.
22. IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?
I'd probably end up being Cornflower Blue.
23. FAVORITE SMELLS?
MAJOR APOLOGIES TO he_who_hunts, AS I FORGOT TO RESPOND TO THIS QUESTION ORIGINALLY!!!
My favorite smells are: grass after a Spring rain; the icy chill of a winter afternoon, where my breath hangs frozen in the air; and oddly enough gasoline. I like the smell of it...but I am NOT a huffer.
24. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
My friend Simon. We are going to see The Cure tonight.
25. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU?
I stole it, but yeah he seems pretty intelligent and all.
26. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?
Does Kung Fu count?
27. HAIR COLOR?
Dark Brown.
28. EYE COLOR?
Blue--they are very beautiful, or so I've heard.
29. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?
Glasses--nerdy, yet fashionable.
30 FAVORITE FOOD?
Sushi is the food of the gods...I hope Cthulhu doesn't read this.
31. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
Scary movies. There is no contest between the two, even though I am also a fan of (dare I admit it?) romantic comedies. I prefer a film that asks the viewer to question to motives behind the supernatural forces at work in a film. I want to be chilled in my soul by the flashes of dark imagery on the screen. I want to wonder what will happen; and I want to see how the interlocutors "deal" with their current situation and the horrors they face. Psychological terror is always better than campy films or torture porn. Although I do enjoy zombie films immensely, I am not a hypocrite. Even zombie films can cause these feelings of psychological terror, if properly written, cast and directed. Ask Romero or Edgar Wright; I'm sure they'll agree.
32. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?
I watched part of The Truman Show last night, while fighting sleep.
33. WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING?
Blue and red button-up. I have very little variety in my clothing, at present. 11 years of college/grad school will do that to a person.
34. SUMMER OR WINTER?
Winter.
35. HUGS OR KISSES?
Hugs...I've known too many droolers.
36. FAVORITE DESSERT?
Hmmmm...any.
37. MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
Possibly hafwit, but he is pretty busy.
38. Least likely to respond?
Jesus. He's a luddite.
39.WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?
Love in the Time of Cholera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, and Waiting for Godalming. I read a lot of books at once...
40. WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?
Looks to be an advert for Chevy Chase Banks.
41. WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT?
The Office and Scrubs.
42. FAVORITE SOUND?
A large clap of thunder in the middle of the night, when I am snuggled in bed. I can stay awake, listening for hours to the beauty and the fury of nature.
43. ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES?
Rolling Stones all the way! I once maxed out a credit card after a bad breakup to get me some Satisfaction. This satisfaction came in the form of a Rolling Stones ticket, a bus ride to Detroit, and a hotel overlooking the area in which I can only assume Robocop was filmed. I also bought a ticket for a friend to accompany me, and only asked him to pay me $50 for the whole trip...which I then used to buy us beer after the show. The Rolling Stones are my favorite band of all time.
44. WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME?
I spent some time in Europe (about 4 months, broken down into three trips), but I never felt as if I was away from "home." I carry "home" in my heart and my soul, and it is comprised of all the people I have ever known, loved, and interacted with on a regular basis. I'm a sappy, sentimental type.
45. DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT?
I am an excellent conversation tracker. I can be actively involved in several conversations at once, without making anyone feel less important. This wasn't something I noticed, but rather it was pointed out to me by a friend while a group of 10 of us were engaged in a sociological debate. I was able to follow everyone's arguments, and make a cohesive statement or three, leaving no major point by the wayside.
Oh and I am also an extremely creative individual; although I sometimes wish I had a mentor to help me turn my creative thoughts into written projects.
46. WHERE WERE YOU BORN?
Carthage, IL
47. WHOSE ANSWERS ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING BACK?
Any and all. :)
