1. Can you cook? I cook 75% of the meals, my wife the rest.
2. What was your dream growing up? SF writer, create TV shows, & do miniatures for movies. As a kid I wrote, drew, played with super 8 film, and made things out of balsa (sometime blowing them up when I was done).
3. What talent do you wish you had? It'd be cool to walk up to a piano and start playing something enchanting... people don't quite get the same vibe when you blast a trumpet.
4. Favorite place? Wherever my friends are.
5. Favorite vegetable? Carrots when around my daughter -- she loves them. Celery for my wife. Anything covered in hot Thai curry sauce!
6. What was the last book you read? Anne Harris' "Inventing Memory". Prior to that, "SPIN" by Robert Charles Wilson.
7. What zodiac sign are you? LEO.
8. Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Nope.
9. Worst Habit? Occasionally talking about politics. Nasty habit. Trying to stop.
10. Do we know each other outside of Livejournal? Passingly from conventions.
11. What is your favorite sport? I get bored watching sports. Sport-like activities with friends can be fun. These days I mostly run in circles with my daughter.
12. Do you have a Negative or Optimistic attitude? I think of myself as an optimist, but I've had people call me a pessimist. My philosophy is: Great things can happen if you strive for them, but nothing is guaranteed. Realist?
13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? Probably start a game to see who could come up with the most ridiculous reason for why we are stuck, and the craziest way to escape.
14. Worst thing to ever happen to you? I stayed at a job I hated for two years too long. The stress levels triggered an immune system response that caused my body to attack my digestive system. I was deathly ill for a year. The doc said I'd require lots of surgery and spend the rest of my life suffering. I quit the job and learned to heal myself through diet. This cost me years of productivity and was quite a strain. Surprised the doc when I cam in all healed.
15. Tell me one weird fact about you. You can find me in IMDB because a cult movie book once included one of my short movies in their pages.
16. Do you have any pets? I am the house pet. I sit up, beg, and roll over.
17. Do you know how to do the Watusi? No. I leaned the Charleston, Tango, Hustle, Waltz, Pogo, but never the Watusi. Much to my grandmother's chagrin, I never could Polka either.
18. What time is it where you are now? Time for dinner.... 4:44pm as I type.
19. Do you think clowns are cute or scary? The only good clown is a freaky clown. They're all running from the law. Why else would they disguise themselves like that?
20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? I'd convince myself to eat better and exercise more.
21. Would you be my partner in crime or my conscience? Sadly, your conscience... until you convinced me of how nasty the supposed victim is, then my evil genius would innocently coming up with all kinds of plot-lines until something sounded really fun.
22. What color eyes do you have? Very BLUE. My wife says they turn GREEN on occasion.
23. Ever been arrested? Why is it embarrassing to say no?
24. Bottle or Draft? Was draft stout, but now that I don't eat wheat it's gluten-free bottled.
25. If you won $10,000 dollars today, what would you do with it? I'd think about buying a nice HD video camera and shooting a movie... but I'd probably put 50% toward home improvements and the rest in my daughter's college fund.
26. What kind of bubble gum do you prefer to chew? Bazooka or hot cinnamon.
27. What's your favorite bar to hang at? None. Give me a house with friends.
28. Do you believe in ghosts? They're wonderful metaphors and a great way to add mood to a story. Clap three times.
29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time? Write.
30. Do you swear a lot? I save it for impact.
31. Biggest pet peeve? People that call because they want something, but pretend they just called to say "hi".
32. In one word, how would you describe yourself? Persistent.
33. In one word, how would you describe me? Interested.
34. Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you? Sure.
