A friend of mine was sent me a form asking various personal questions. He filled it out and put it on his web site. I thought it was a good idea, so I stole it.
Birthplace: California
Now living? Allen, Texas
Your favorite tv show(s)? Curb Your Enthusiasm and Queer as Folk
What's on your mouse pad? I use a trackball, so no pad needed.
Favorite board game? Clue. I am also a believer that Monopoly's Free Parking is just that, FREE. You do NOT get anything or lose anything for landing on Free Parking. The game just goes on forever and the bank files for "Chapter 11."
Favorite magazine? MacAddict.
Book you'd recommend: Grendel by John Champlin Gardner. Great for anyone who had to read Beowolf.
Favorite smell: Fresh baked banana bread.
Worst feeling in the world: I have disappointed someone I care about.
Best feeling in the world: A really good laugh, close to being hysterical but not quite.
Favorite soundtrack: Too many to name.
What is the first thing you think of when you awake in the morning? Where is the snooze button?
Do you get motion sickness? Yes
Roller coasters - scary or exciting? Scary. To much lack of control for me. Disney's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is the most I can take.
How many rings before you answer the phone? Enough to see who is on the caller id.
Future son's name: Jensen
Daughter's name: We are still trying to agree.
Favorite foods: Sushi. Slow Roasted Prime Rib with creamy horseradish on the side.
Do you get along with your parents? Yes.
Chocolate or vanilla? Swirl.
Favorite town to relax in: Innsbruck, Austria.
Do you sleep with stuffed animals? Not usually.
Storms - cool or scary? Both.
Favorite time of the year? Fall and the first part of Winter.
Do you like to drive? Yes.
What was your first car? Subaru hatchback.
What do you drive now? Jeep Wrangler. It's the fist vehicle I purchased because I wanted it as opposed to needed it.
What is your dream car? I think I'm driving it.
Favorite alcoholic drink? Don't drink.
Who is your favorite poet? Don't have one.
If you could have any job you wanted, what would it be? Independent Movie Director, Photographer or Artist. I don't thing I could be just one.
Have you ever been in love? Of course.
What is on your walls in your room? A mirror and some of my photographs.
Is the glass half empty or half full? Half full
Favorite movie(s): "Das Boot." I saw it when I was 12 and it freaked me out when the movie ended and I realized I had been supporting our "enemies." "Bowling for Columbine." Smart, funny, thought provoking and now an Academy Award winner. "Notorious C.H.O." Raunchy, but I have never laughed so hard.
Are you a lefty, righty, or ambidextrous? Righty.
Do you type with your fingers on the right keys? Yes.
What's under your bed? Dog Toys, socks that don't match and lint.
What is your favorite music genre? Homosexual Groove.
What are your favorite albums, cd's or artists? Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, Cher, Britney Spears and too many others.
What qualities do you look for in a friend? A good sense of humor or at least thinks I'm funny.
