Let&#8217;s take a look, shall we?<br \/>\n<!--more--><lj-cut><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT OUIJA BOARDS?<\/b> I have no opinion on Ouija boards.  I don&#8217;t know that I&#8217;ve ever used one.<\/li>\n<li><b>YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOWS?<\/b> I don&#8217;t watch much television.  These days, <i>Boston Legal<\/i> and <i>House<\/i>.  And I do, of course, make the time for a regular dosage of <i>Doctor Who<\/i> in some capacity.<\/li>\n<li><b>WHAT&#8217;S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?<\/b> Trackballs don&#8217;t need mousepads.  Ergo, I do not have a mousepad.<\/li>\n<li><b>FAVORITE BOARD GAME:<\/b> Risk.<\/li>\n<li><b>FAVORITE MAGAZINE:<\/b> <i>The American Prospect<\/i>.<\/li>\n<li><b>FAVORITE SMELLS:<\/b> Fresh brewed coffee.<\/li>\n<li><b>WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD:<\/b> Loneliness.<\/li>\n<li><b>BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD:<\/b> The feeling that I&#8217;ve accomplished something that will last, the feeling that I&#8217;ve made a difference.<\/li>\n<li><b>FAVORITE SOUNDTRACK:<\/b> This one&#8217;s quite difficult.  I could cheat and say, The Beatle&#8217;s <i>A Hard Day&#8217;s Night<\/i> or <i>Help!<\/i>.  Instead, I&#8217;m going to think.  If I were stranded on a desert island with only one soundtrack\/score to listen to forever, it would be&#8230; Danny Elfman&#8217;s score for <i>Dick Tracy<\/i>.  It&#8217;s rather atypical, it&#8217;s not just a Gershwin pastiche, and I hear new things in it all the time.  <i>Dick Tracy<\/i>, very underrated.<\/li>\n<li><b>WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK WHEN YOU WAKE IN THE MORNING:<\/b> &#8220;Ah, fuck it, do I <i>really<\/i> have to get out of bed?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><b>ROLLER COASTER &#8211; SCARY OR EXCITING?<\/b>  Exciting.  Give me the damn adrenaline rush.<\/li>\n<li><b>HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE?<\/b> Depends on how close I am to the phone.  Usually at least two.<\/li>\n<li><b>FUTURE DAUGHTER&#8217;S NAME:<\/b> Never given it any thought.<\/li>\n<li><b>FUTURE SON&#8217;S NAME:<\/b> Never given it any thought.<\/li>\n<li><b>FAVORITE FOODS:<\/b> I don&#8217;t really have a favorite food.<\/li>\n<li><b>CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA?<\/b> Both have their uses.  I tend toward the chocolate.<\/li>\n<li><b>DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE?<\/b> The open road is an adventure waiting to happen.<\/li>\n<li><b>DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL?<\/b> Though I own many, no.<\/li>\n<li><b>STORMS &#8211; COOL OR SCARY?<\/b> I&#8217;ve driven in a hurricane.  I wasn&#8217;t scared.  The awesome power of nature?  Cool.<\/li>\n<li><b>WHAT TYPE WAS YOUR FIRST CAR:<\/b> 1996 blue Chevy Cavalier.<\/li>\n<li><b>IF YOU COULD MEET ONE PERSON DEAD OR ALIVE &#8211; WHO  WOULD IT BE?<\/b> Galileo.<\/li>\n<li><b>FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK:<\/b> Guinness Draught.<\/li>\n<li><b>WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN?<\/b> Cancer.<\/li>\n<li><b>WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE POET?<\/b> Lewis Carroll.<\/li>\n<li><b>DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI?<\/b> Yes.<\/li>\n<li><b>IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED, WHAT WOULD IT BE?<\/b> As soon as I figure that out I&#8217;ll let you know. \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n<li><b>IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR, WHAT WOULD IT BE?<\/b> I wouldn&#8217;t.<\/li>\n<li><b>HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE?<\/b> Yes.<\/li>\n<li><b>WHAT IS ON YOUR WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?<\/b> A mirror.<\/li>\n<li><b>IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL?<\/b> I dunno.<\/li>\n<li><b>WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SNAPPLE?<\/b> Lemon.<\/li>\n<li><b>FAVORITE MOVIE(S):<\/b> <i>The Empire Strikes Back<\/i>, <i>The Lord of the Rings<\/i> trilogy, <i>Say Anything<\/i>, <i>About a Boy<\/i>.<\/li>\n<li><b>ARE YOU A LEFTY, RIGHTY, OR AMBIDEXTROUS?<\/b> Generally right-handed.<\/li>\n<li><b>DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE PROPER KEYS?<\/b> Proper keys.
