Birthday: March 29, 1978

Home: Where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.

Eyes: Brown.

Hair Color: Also brown, barring extenuating circumstances.

Your Favorite TV Shows? Pick your favorite sampling of decent cartoons, sci-fi, and documentaries. It's got a good chance of being right.

Your Mouse Pad? Changes biweekly. Do you realize how much gunk gets on those things when you've got a smoker around? Ew, ew, ew, ew.

Your Screen Saver? Fractals.

Favorite Color: Sapphire blue.

Least Favorite Color: Lime green, orange, magenta, and hot pink - in combination.

Favorite Boardgame: ...I haven't actually played one in so long I can't remember.

Favorite Magazine: Linux Journal.

Favorite Soundtrack: Ever After.

Favorite Smell: Cigarette smoke, Scotch, and cheap aftershave - and if you ever let a certain Englishman find out I said that, I swear I'm
gonna - grr!

Worst Feeling In The World: The fuzzy-headed half-dead feeling you get when you're half-awake out of a nightmare and haven't figured out you're
actually awake yet, but adrenaline is still trying to make you do something despite the fact that the brain center that stops you from moving while you're dreaming hasn't gone off the job.

Best Feeling In The World: The look on their faces when they figure out the bullets aren't working. (Okay, it's not the best, but the other nine of the top ten are even more incriminating than the favorite-smell entry.)

Favorite Things To Do On Weekends: The aforementioned watching of B-movies would be up there on the list. Plus shopping. Definitely shopping.

One Item On Your List Of Things To Do Before You Die: Go to Israel. Bizarre, isn't it? Europe, sure. Russia, once. Japan, no problem. Outer space, check, been there, done that, got the Steely Dan T-shirt. But the one place I really want to go, I never seem to get around to.

One Thing You Never Did In Childhood That You Wish You Had: Talked to my mother after the divorce.

One Vain Thing About Yourself Of Which You Are Proud: I am the goddess of computing.

Ultimate Vacation Spot: I keep wanting to say something about sun, sand, and surf, but ... if I were actually going somewhere on vacation, it'd probably be London. (Which may explain that 'Things To Do Before You Die' answer, huh.)

Most Interesting Place On Earth You'd Love To Visit: Is this 'interesting' in the ancient-Chinese-curse sense?

What Is The First Thing You Think Of When You Wake In The Morning? "How much hassle am I going to be given about getting up today?"

Do You Get Motion Sickness? Oh heck no.

Roller Coasters ~ Deadly Or Exciting? Exciting in the sort of lame controlled sense. I kind of miss thinking they were cool.

Pen Or Pencil? Handwriting? Eeek! Pencil, actually, it doesn't run if you spill coffee on it.

Dogs Or Cats? Three guesses. But I'm pretty sure Lockheed would try to eat either one.

Leave Messy Or Clean Up? Clean up oh man clean up. Somebody has to.

How Many Rings Before You Answer The Phone? Two. Three if I was holding something.

Future Son's Name? Presuming I have one? Samuel, after my grandfather.

Future Daughter's Name? You're trying to scare somebody here, aren't you. Um, I'm kinda partial to Ruth. Or Esther, if it ever stops sounding like someone's great-aunt's name.

Favorite Foods: Fresh fruit and vegetables. Salads. Chocolate. Ice cream.

Do You Get Along With Your Parents? I used to. Never actually talked to Dad after the jail thing. I could claim being busy, but... let's just put that under not getting along.

Do You Make New Years Resolutions? I've pretty much been too drunk that night the last couple of years to remember.

Have You Ever Been Convicted Of A Crime? Other than existing? Never actually convicted, no.

Chocolate, Vanilla, or Strawberry? Yes, please.

Favorite Ice Cream: If pressed, I might say Dulce de Leche, but people keep bringing out flavors I haven't tried yet. Besides, why stick with just one?

Croutons Or Bacon Bits? Croutons.

Do You Like To Drive? Heh heh heh heh. No.

Do You Obey Traffic Laws? You know, I'm not even sure what local traffic laws are. Good thing I don't drive.

Are You Often Agitated On The Road? Only if stuck in traffic.

Number One Pet Peeve: Smokers. And loudmouthed rednecked bigots. Whichever one happens to be closer at the moment.

Do You Sleep With Stuffed Animals? Depends on whether Wisdom gorged himself before bed.

Who Is Your Favorite Poet? Diane Ackerman.

Who Is Your Favorite Author? Emma Bull, followed by about a hundred and fifty ties for second place.

Do You Eat The Stems Of Broccoli? 'Course!

If You Could Have Any Job You Wanted, What Would It Be? Computer security consultant, hands-down.

If You Could Dye Your Hair Any Color, What Would It Be? I could dye my hair any color. You may notice that it's usually still brown.

If You Could Have A Tattoo, What And Where Would It Be? The temptation to answer this with "'Property of K. Pryde,' on Pete's butt" is so great, but
man, he'd get me for it.

Have You Ever Been In Love? ... you need to ask? Yes.

What Is On The Walls Of Your Bedroom? A couple of newspaper clippings. Cigarette smoke residue. Occasionally scorch marks.

Is The Glass Half Empty Or Half Full? "I ask her as I fill it."

What Is Your Favorite Snapple? Diet Lime Green Tea.

Favorite Movies: I'm not even gonna try to pin this one down. Whatever I watched last that was either good or fun to mock, plus the Princess Bride.

Are You Righty, Lefty, Or Ambidextrous? Mostly right-handed.

Do You Type With Your Fingers On The Right Keys? ... while blindfolded and carrying on a conversation. Sheesh.

What's In Your Tape/CD Player Right Now? Jethro Tull, "J-Tull Dot Com." Usually, Cats Laughing or Flash Girls.

What's Under Your Bed? I'm afraid to check, but usually some of Wisdom's clothes, shredded. Silly dragon.

What Is Your Favorite Number? 120.

What Is Your Dream Car? A silver Jaguar.

Favorite Sport To Watch: Ice skating, if we're only counting sports.

Say One Nice Thing About The Person Who Sent This To You: Seishi, how do you put up with the rest of us?

Person You Are Sending This To Who Is Least Likely To Respond: Pete, if only because I'm being mean and sending it by email. He might be able to
figure out how to pick it up by 2003. Maybe.
