Fist full of answers
I may have done this particular set one once before. But the funny part is, my answers may have changed. For this batch only, I will expound upon some, but not all of the questions below if asked. Except for #’s 7, 14 and 23.
So, questions ganked from the internets (and in particular, lj user buttrflydrming.)
1. Can you cook?
Yes. My mother’s family (and mine, for that matter) are chefs and restauranteurs, and I ran my own kitchen for a while. I love to cook, and I like to cook for other people.
But in a wierd twist, I don’t really like eating. It’s just this thing I have to do, 4 times a day.
2. What was your dream growing up?
I don’t know the focus of this question, so I am going to read it as “What dide you want to be growing up.”
I’m feeling particularly cynical today, so I respond with “everybody else”
3. What talent do you wish you had?
I would like to create and play music. The main reason my guitar sits and atrophies is because I have no songs of my own to sing. I could play other people’s, but listening to them gives me more joy. I’ll stick to singing, if I’m ever again in a band.
4. Favourite place?
Sitting on a blanket under a tree on a hot day. Bonus points if there is a breeze.
5. Favourite vegetable?
I’m very fond of both corn and asparagus.
6. What was the last book you read?
Read and finished, The Five Wisdom Energies. Right now I’m in the middle of a collected fiction trilogy regarding the comic book super-heroes the X-men, and I’m almost done withteh thrid volume.
It’s not very good.
I did read a great graphic novel the other day by David Brin, called the Life Eaters. I have it here if any of y’all would like to borrow it.
7. What zodiac sign are you ?
Opted out.
8. Any Tattoos and/or Piercings?
Not yet, but peircings are out for me. If I can put my head in the right place this year, I’ll probably get one major and two minor pieces.
9. Worst Habit?
Anger.
10. Do we know each other outside of LJ?
We’ve met and interacted. But I don’t think that counts
11. What is your favourite sport?
I can no longer adequately justify my arguments regarding baseball as a game or pastime, so I’ll say baseball. And I like it becuase it does not require me to think, but if I do, the game offers me as much cognition as I want.
But as for pure sports, Boxing.
12. Negative or Optimistic attitude?
I thought I was getting better, but it appears that I am not. Negative.
13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
Take a nap. I’d also share my gum with you if you wanted some.
14. Worst thing to ever happen to you?
Oddly enough, it’s not dying. That just happened, And I deal with the results. The worst was one of them emotional things.
15. Tell me one weird fact about you:
When I look at things, I see them as patterns of red and blue dots. I am not color blind, and when wearing my glasses/contacts have very clear vision.
Of things made of red and blue dots.

Not any more. I don’t seem to be very good at it.

Scary. But I think I can take them.
20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
I would like better facial hair. Through misadventure and genetics, I’m not really happy with mine.
21. Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.” But if you become a ravening maniac monster murderer, I’ll probably put a bullet to you to protect me and mine. I won’t judge you or the relative worth of your actions, but you would not have a place in my worldview.
No offense.
22. What color eyes do you have?
Hazel. You’ll have to check them next time you look, I never know.
23. Ever been arrested?
Yes.
24. Bottle or Draft?
Draft. the act of pouring makes it a prepared food, and of greater worth to me. But I’m not drinking beer right now.
25. If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?
Become out of debt. And I’d probably buy a truck with the remainder.
26. What kind of bubble gum do you prefer to chew?
Up until about a month ago, I had a very dim view of gum use. But it’s become a part of my life, and I choose Wrigley’s Extra Sugar-free gum, green apple flavor. I just like the smell and taste.

Callahan’s

Nothing. The act of doing nothing, that is. I also like shopping, which is almost the same thing

“you stupid bastard” happens a lot too.

Stupid people, or rather, people who choose to live in ignorance. But really, it’s Question #9.
