Thirty-five questions meme!
...which only has thirty four questions... *eyebrow raise* Nicked this from ekaterin24 .
01) Are you currently in a serious relationship?
I'm not sure 'serious' and 'relationship' belong in the same sentence. I'm in a long-term love-match with my computer of ten years.
02) What was your dream growing up?
I wanted to be a neurophysicist.
03) What talent do you wish you had?
I wish I ... uh, I dunno. I'm pretty talented. There are some skills I wish I had, though.
04) If I bought you a drink what would it be?
Well, I hope like shit it would be a vodka martini.
05) Favorite vegetable?
Artichoke, I think. I don't get to eat enough of those.
06) What was the last book you read?
Uhm, wow. I'm really not sure. I've been doing so much writing, I haven't picked up a book in months. I think it was a Brother Cadfael novel, though.
07) What zodiac sign are you?
A leo, as should be clear by my utterly obnoxious and egotistical ramblings.
08) Any tattoos and/or piercings? Explain where.
I keep meaning to get a tattoo... Piercings, I have in abundance. Four and a cuff on the left ear, one on the right, one eyebrow, my nose, and a few that aren't there anymore.
09) Worst habit?
Christ, I've a few of those. The worst? Procrastinating about important things until the last possible moment.
10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?
I don't have a car. This is kind of a moot question.
11) What is your favorite sport?
Hockey. Unquestionably.
12) Do you have a pessimistic or optimistic attitude?
Why do people keep forgetting there's another option, here? I'm a realist, for shit's sake.
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
1970s rock 'n roll sing along?
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?
Well, I was dead, that one time, and that other time, and two other times, and I spent way too much time in the ER, in '08. But, I think I'm going to have to say it was when Mitch and I broke up. That still burns.
15) Tell me one weird fact about you.
What do you not know? I love the smell of cigarette smoke, but I'm not a smoker.
16) Do you have any pets?
Ein kater.
17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?
Well, I'm not really in the habit of opening the door, unless I'm expecting someone, so I suspect you'd be standing outside.
18) What was your first impression of me?
I believe we met in an OC community, which seems to have keeled over and died, since. I recall thinking you were well-written.
19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
Grotesque, at best, but an essential part of any society that wishes to be taken seriously.
20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
I'd ditch the potbelly. Which, I might add, I am trying to do.
21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
Uh, c'mon, now... Crime partner, clearly. I'm all about doing bad things with minimal damage.
22) What color eyes do you have?
Gold.
23) Ever been arrested?
There was that one time I got picked up for having a fake ID and robbing a gas station. Turns out they had the wrong person, entirely.
24) Bottle or can soda?
Are we talking glass bottle? 'Cause otherwise I don't care.
25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?
Pay back my mother.
26) What's your favorite place to hang out at?
PREPOSITIONS SHOULD NOT END SENTENCES! HOLY SHIT! GRAARGH! *cough* I mean, uh, when I could still go out, I was a big fan of Waffle House.
27) Do you believe in ghosts?
Obviously. It's rather difficult to be visited by one's dead relatives and persist in the belief that there are no such thing as ghosts.
28) Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
... ... Uh, I have no way to distinguish between spare and any other kind of time. I'm usually doing four or five things at once. And when I'm not? It's because I'm sick or sleeping.
29) Do you swear a lot?
Every third word, give or take.
30) Biggest pet peeve?
People who insist upon remaining ignorant.
31) In one word, how would you describe yourself?
Curmudgeonly.
32) Do you believe/appreciate romance?
This is an improperly worded question. Do I believe romance? I don't know; I don't think it's ever said anything to me. Do I believe in romance? Clearly. One would have to be blind and stupid not to -- it's everywhere in our culture, and has been for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Do I appreciate it? This is an entirely other question, and yes, I do. I am a practitioner of the romantic arts, even in primarily platonic contexts.
33) Favourite and least favourite food?
I love food. It makes me happy. Favourite food at the moment is yakisoba with mushrooms and vegetable gyoza. This will change in another few weeks. Least favourite food is probably ... are we limiting this to things I can actually eat, without getting sick? Probably textured vegetable protein.
34) Do you believe in God?
Whose god? I believe in several pantheons worth of gods.
01) Are you currently in a serious relationship?
