1. Elaborate on your default icon.
A pin up by Art Frahm - one of the few he did that doesn't involve a woman unexpectedly losing her big pink panties in public.

2. What's your current relationship status?
Legally married but separating.

3. Ever have a near-death experience?
No, but I've had odd encounters with presences and a lot of conversational dreams with the dead.

4. Name an obvious quality you have.
I'm clever but scatterbrained.

5. What's the name of the song that's stuck in your head right now?
"We Can Work it Out" - no comment on my relationship status, it's what my daughter was playing in her room this morning, the Beatles-tribute soundtrack from "I Am Sam". She loves it.

6. Any celeb you would marry?
Alan Rickman, or Ciaran Hinds, or Michael Chiklis. Although really, I'd rather just have a scorching affair until I discover whether or not they're secretly batshit-crazy.

7. Who will cut and paste this first?
No clue.

8. Has anyone ever said you look like a celebrity?
When I was little, people said I looked like Julie Andrews. In college and just after, I used to get either Gillian Anderson or Kate Winslet. An old friend said that Rose McGowan reminded him of me, but I don't see it. What's really weird is that I found old photos of my grandmother a few years back and she looked exactly like Gillian Anderson.

9. Do you wear a watch? What kind?
Not for a long time. I keep track with my phone.

10. Do you have anything pierced?
Four in my left ear, two in my right. Two of them were self inflicted in high school with an ice cube and a needle, and are resultingly crappy. I only wear two earrings these days. I also had my nose pierced, but it's long since closed up. I'd like to get a below the waist piercing, because it seems fun and it's one I could get away with under my grown up office drag.

11. Do you have any tattoos?
I know what I'm going to get and I know the artist I want to design it, but I need to save some money and drop a few pounds first.

12. Do you like pain?
Not really, aside from stuff like worrying a hangnail or fiddling with a sore spot. I like to be petted and groomed - I'm like a kitty-whore in that respect. If I've got a headache, it's sometimes soothing to have my hair tugged just a little bit.

13. Do you like to shop?
Clothes shopping bores the crap out of me. I like shopping for books.

14. What was the last thing you paid for with cash?
A pack of cigarettes. Yeah, bad me.

15. What was the last thing you paid for with your credit card?
Manicure-pedicure.

16. Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone?
My friend Brad.

17. What is on your desktop background?
I haven't personalized my new Mac yet, so it's a preloaded background of rocks and mist in black and white. I like it. My old computer had wallpaper from Firefly/Serenity.

18. What is the background on your cell phone?
The same background that came with it, some Alltel girl holding a phone.

19. Do you like redheads?
I'm a semi-redhead myself. I have a tinge from my grandmother, who was a true auburn, and I enhance it. I like red on women, not so much on men - don't know why, I know that's weird.

20. Do you know any twins?
I married a twin.

21. Do you have any weird relatives?
I have quirky relatives. I adore them. My family is my lodestone. Now, as for my in-laws, they are also an odd bunch.

22. What was the last movie you watched?
The Merchant of Venice with Al Pacino.

23. What was the last book you read?
An old Hellblazer and Eve Ensler's new book "The Good Body". I'm in the middle of "Kushiel's Scion" right now.
