Hi, everybody!

1. Have you ever left the country you live in and where?
A couple of times, but I didn't go very far. When I was seven, my parents took me on a cruise to the Bahamas. I had fun, but I think I'd enjoy it more as an adult. And a few years ago, I went to Toronto to visit some friends.

2. What countries would you visit if time and money ( Read more... )

From http://thefridayfive.livejournal.com/99018.html:

1. Do you prefer to play games on a console or PC?Console. My ex kept trying to convince me that PC gaming was better for some reason, but I would have none of it. With a console, you don't have to worry about whether your game will ( Read more... )

1. What do you really want to be when you grow up?
Well, I guess I'm technically grown up, and I am a librarian. So there you go. I do reference right now, but I'd like to be a systems librarian. And I think it would be really nifty to be a freelance technical writer.

2. Where were you born?
St. Ann's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.

3. Who were ( Read more... )

Oooh, they're good this week.

1) You are on your way to work, when suddenly a wormhole to the far side of the galaxy opens in the middle of the road. You are thus the first to meet the alien being that emerges. Despite your protestations, you are now Earth’s unofficial First Contact ambassador. What will you say to the visitor?Throw up the Vulcan ( Read more... )

1. How often do you clean your home?Depends on the part of the home. I try to do the kitchen every other day or so, the bathroom every week or so, living room and bedroom get picked up and vacuumed every... er... couple of weeks or so. Litter box gets scooped at least once a day, of course. Cleaning up too often is futile, as cats are physical ( Read more... )

1. If you could suddenly speak one language fluently (that you don't currently speak) what would it be?
Old English, because it's fun to speak. I guess Spanish would be more practical, though. *sigh*

2. If you were to suggest a foreign film, that you really enjoyed, what one would you suggest?I don ( Read more... )

1. If you could retroactively erase one TV show from the history of entertainment, which one would you choose?
Survivor, because it opened the floodgates for all the other crappy reality TV shows. Now, one might argue that it was MTV's The Real World and Road Rules, but Survivor was the first reality show on mainstream television.

2. Are you more ( Read more... )

1. Given a choice, and imagining that money and time were no object, would you rather cook dinner, eat out or order in?
Eat out. I hate doing dishes.

2. What is the most elaborate meal you've ever prepared yourself or purchased at a restaurant?I don't cook "elaborate" meals. The most elaborate I get is when I make a side dish along with the main. ( Read more... )

1. What's your favorite line from a movie, and why?
"THAT'S IT! I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKIN' SNAKES ON THIS MOTHERFUCKIN' PLANE!"
Do I really have to explain that one? Also, pretty much every line in Pulp Fiction and Cruel Intentions.

2. Who's your favorite villain from a movie, and why?
Hmm. I was just talking to a co-worker about ( Read more... )
