Originally I lived on School Street in Santa Rosa (but can't seem to find the exact house), and moved to Rohnert Park when I was 10 or so.

I don't think I ever liked any animals that weren't pets...in fact I still don't for the most part.
14. what did you do on your birthdays?
I got cake and presents...I had one birthday at Tube Town and Q-Zar (laser tag)
16. who did you look up to?
The whole idea of having idols and role models never made sense to me.
17. did you have any imaginary friends (who?)?
Not imaginary friends per se, but I had highly specialized alternate selves. For example if my mom needed up unloading laundry I would need to go away for a moment to change into a scooping-specialized self.
18. did you ever go on trips to faraway places (where?)?
Hawaii when I was 11 or 12, Mexico in high school
19. what kind of clothes did you wear?
Same thing I do now. Solid colors, no logos, green, cargo shorts.
20. what kind of bedsheets did you have?
(DC) Super heroes and super villains were on there a while.
21. where did you sleep / what was your room like?
I had a red metal bunk bed to myself. The top bunk had a tent that was combined with the fitted sheet and was blue with dinosaur print. My room was covered in poster and newpaper clippings, and once I switched rooms the last time it was covered with dark green and blue spots and totally awesome.
22. did you have some special kind of routine before falling asleep?
I was generally an easy sleeper so no routine was needed, some cases though I'd lay away wondering if I would wake up the next day or if someone would come in through my window.
23. did you have any pets (what kind?)?
We had a cockatiel named "Sunshine" who would bite the crap out of anyone but me. She instead would sit on my head or shoulder and say "Where's Eric?" (my dad), "What's new?" "Pretty Bird" and "Rock and roll". I also had rats, names are recall are: "Vanilla", "Nilla", "Manilla" and "Chimbly-face" (creative, I know). We had at most about a dozen rabbits, none of which have names I remember.
24. did you believe in god / what kind?
I never believed in God in any meaningful way, only in the way I also believed in the easter bunny and santa claus. That is, that they served an important purpose as a metaphor but not something to be taken literally. Only in the last....4 years or so am I able to grasp a concept of a God in which I can "believe in".
25. did you have any innocent crushes on anyone?
My folks were convinced I had a crush on their friend's daughter and our across-the-street neighbor's daughter, but I still don't think I did. I was consistently too terrified of girls up until 12th grade to ever have a real crush.
26. what did you dislike a whole lot?
The skin on taders, bees, going to bed early.
27. who/what made you cry?
Bees, yelling.
28. what were you afraid of?
Bees (did these really need to be separate questions?), Horses, people crawling through my window, learning to ride my bike and rollerblade
29. what was your favorite playground activity?
Digging holes...totally, like...getting down to the adobe then building up walls around every side. And staying away from bees.
30. how did your guardians punish you when you misbehaved?
There were spankings, but I didn't have many rules to break and was for the most part well behaved so they were few are far between.
31. who did you live with?
My parents. Paul and Clay, my half brothers, also lived with us off and on, not more than a year at a time.
32. what made you happy?
Video games, staying up late, applying myself, being admired by my peers.
