(no subject)
It's a long one, but it got me through a boring conference call.
The One Hundred Questions Meme
1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
Actually a grouping of scars on my left arm. In 1986, I rolled a '77 Honda Accord: my arm went through the closed driver's side window and was trapped between the car's roof and the ground as the vehicle slid through the edge of a farmer's field.
2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
At this moment, not much. Drywall joint compound.
3. WHAT DOES YOUR CELL PHONE LOOK LIKE?
Plain, black, Nextel. No camera, no text messaging, barely even use it as a phone.
4. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO?
Pretty much anything but rap and hip/hop.
5. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?
9:00-ish in the morning.
6. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?
My wife healthy, and a long evening alone with her, with sufficient funds for a nice dinner and a warm bedroom to follow..
7. WHAT DO YOU MISS?
Have to agree with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cammie018 on this one: Free time.
8. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION?
As much as I prize any possession, it would have to be my 2002 Taylor 510 LE. If you have to ask what that is, you wouldn't understand why it's prized.
9. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SMELL?
Obsession. I swear, it doesn't matter who's wearing it, but I like it onmljm.
10. DO YOU GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC?
Yes, but I have to be really confined.
11. DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DARK?
Not so much, no. Not since I was little.
12. FAVORITE MOVIE?
In high school, I would have told you "Star Wars". In college, it would have been something else. As I've gotten older, I've become much harder to please. Can't really say as I have a favorite now.
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOGNE / PERFUME?
On someone else? Obsession. On me? Don't wear it often, and have precisely two sitting on my dresser that M bought for me. Of those two, Black Ice.
14. WHAT KIND OF HAIR DO YOU LIKE ON THE PREFFERED SEX?
I like short hair, and I like long hair. I don't appreciate hair that can't commit one way or the other.
15. WHERE CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF BEING PROPOSED TO AT?
Moot. And if it wasn't, and we're speaking purely hypothetically here, I can't see it.
16. COFFEE OR ENERGY DRINKS?
Coffee. Energy drinks have a distinct chemical taste that I find particularly unpleasant.
17. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PIZZA TOPPING?
Not so fond of pizza anymore. Made to choose? Hamburger.
18. IF YOU COULD EAT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Right now? Stoopid question. Steak, probably. Ribeye, medium rare, salt, pepper, no sauce.
19. WHO IS THE LAST PERSON YOU MADE MAD?
As far as I know, it was M. And the obverse is true, too.
20. DO YOU SPEAK A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE?
No. I've no talent for languages. I'm sure if I had a reason, I could learn one.
21. WHAT WAS THE FIRST GIFT SOMEONE EVER GAVE YOU (OF THE PREFERRED SEX)?
That I remember, it was a collectible dragon from Wicks & Sticks (remember them?), jewel toned stoneware, very pretty.
22. WHAT IS THE LAST GIFT YOU WERE GIVEN?
There are two answers, depending upon your tolerance for saccharine. In the grander sense, that would be Michelle's gift of our son, Jami. In the more predictable sense, the aforementioned guitar (see #8).
23. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CITY?
Granted my experience with cities is a little limited: I don't know that many cities well enough to call one or the other a "favorite". I like Kansas City and surrounding area. If I could live anywhere, I like, strange as it sounds, Lincoln, Nebraska.
24. DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD?
Call me a pantheistic agnostic. I believe we all create god in our own image. For myself, the jury's still out.
25. WHAT’S THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING YOU BOUGHT?
My house, purchased with twenty years of sweat equity. When we officially took legal ownership in April of 2004, we immediately took out a Home Equity Line of Credit from our bank, used 14k of it purchase a handicap van for my mother (who owned the house previously) and the rest invested in all those home improvements I wanted to do for twenty years but never had any equity in the house to be able to afford.
26. HAVE YOU EVER WON A CONTEST?
Just costume contests. Never money from the lottery, or soda pop contests, or McDonald's Monopoly for anything like that.
27. DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT?
I believe in lust at first sight. Love is far too complicated for that.
28. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING?
Yes, and I have.
29. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TELL SOMEONE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU?
Tell them, sincerely.
30. SAY A NUMBER FROM ONE TO A HUNDRED:
36, the number of inches in a yard. Hey, I'm a tailor.
31. BLONDES OR BRUNETTES?
No preference. No specific liking for natural redheads, though.
32. WHAT IS THE ONE NUMBER YOU CALL OFTEN?
Home. Second, the Mercers.
33. WHAT ANNOYS YOU MOST?
Being discounted, and that can take many forms.
33. HAVE YOU BEEN OUT OF THE U.S.?
Once, to Ireland in 1997.
34.WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTHS?
I'm pretty good at flying by the seat of my pants. Put a task in front of me, and if I'm physically capable of doing it you can pretty much assume it'll get done whether I know what I'm doing when I start or not. At least, that was true when my attentions weren't so divided.
35. YOUR WEAKNESSES?
I am a man of limited patience, and the internal editor switches off very easily. I can be too honest.
36. FIRST LOVE?
I started to say Sheri, but I don't know if it was ever true love. At sixteen, what did I know? Tammy, then? Could be.
37. FIRST JOB?
Retail, for some company that set up in a motel room at the local Howard Johnsons. We were selling jeans, flannel shirts, and cowboy boots, and I was pretty good at it. I walked out, prideful as always, when they asked me to sweep the floor.
38. EVER DONE A PRANK CALL?
Not since junior high.
39. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU FILLED OUT THIS SURVEY?
Working at my job. Once a conference call started for which my involvement was needed only peripherally, I needed something mindless to keep myself occupied.
40. IF YOU COULD GET PLASTIC SURGERY WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I would reshape and repair my nose, and square off my jawline a little bit.
41. WHY DID YOU FILL OUT THIS SURVEY?
See #39.
42. WHAT DO YOU GET COMPLIMENTED ABOUT MOST?
My skill as a tailor. My eyes.
43. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF ALCOHOL BECAME ILLEGAL?
Spend a day in total astonishment that any lawmaker could be so stupid as to try to reinstate the 18th amendment, then go on with my life little altered since I don't drink enough to care.
44. WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?
Money. Health.
45. HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT?
Never really wanted any to begin with, but have two.
46. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Yes, my mother's first boyfriend (who was not, for the record, my father).
47. DO YOU WISH ON STARS?
No.
48. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE FINGER?
What the fuck kind of question is that? Depends who I'm doing with it...I mean, uh, what I'm doing with it.
49. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY?
A week ago, struggling with the health of my family.
50. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
No, not really.
51. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Roast beef. Second, black forest ham.
52. ANY BAD HABITS?
Is coffee a bad habit? I quit smoking ten years ago. I don't drink much. I'm not a pathological liar or kleptomaniac.
53. WHAT IS YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING CD ON THE SHELF?
I'm not really embarrassed by anything in my music collection.
54. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
No, probably not. I'm an arrogant prick.
55. BOXER OR BRIEFS?
This one's come up before. Briefs.
56. DO LOOKS MATTER?
I don't really see the need to be altruistic about this, as I'd be lying. Hell yes they matter.
57. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER?
Depends upon the anger and the cause. Can range anywhere from talking it out to finding some object to destroy, usually by throwing at the nearest hard surface.
58. WHERE IS YOUR SECOND HOME?
Don't have one. Another place where I feel comfortable? Lincoln, Nebraska.
59. DO YOU TRUST OTHERS EASILY?
"Trust everyone, but cut the cards."
60. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY AS A CHILD?
A bottle of Elmer's glue, a stack of blank butcher paper, and an X-Axcto knife. Yes, as a child, I had one of those, and knew how to use it. I made most of my own toys since all of my parents' income was busy being lost by my dad in a series of failed business ventures.
61. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY NOW?
I wish.
62. DO YOU COOK?
I try to. I can grill really well.
63. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
Yes, and no. Because I have a talent for being hurful, in everyday discourse not so much. Performing, all the time.
64. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A MOSH PIT?
No. I was 38 before I even knew what that was.
65. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY/GIRL?
Looks, passion, music (in the metaphorical sense)
66. WHAT ARE YOUR NICKNAMES?
Bill. Never said I was exciting.

Chocolate w/ peanut butter.
72. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE COLORS?
Green, darker shades.
73. HOW MANY WISDOM TEETH DO YOU HAVE?
Had 4, and had to break them to get them out.
74. WHO/WHAT DO YOU MISS MOST RIGHT NOW?
Who. My wife.
75. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS?
Whatever floats.
76. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?
The coffeemaker. My office partner mumbling himself through a difficult problem.
77. LAST THING YOU ATE?
A #3 from McDonalds. (That'd be a sausage McMuffin)
78. LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
Not sure. Some idiot who launched every reason why his cellphone didn't work without stopping to first determine if he'd actually called Verizon tech support.
79. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE IN THE PREFERRED SEX?
This is basically a repeat of #65. Visually, I start center (breasts, and no, I'm not looking for size), move up to the face, then the whole picture.
80. WHERE WERE YOU BORN?
Bryan Memorial Hospital, Lincoln Nebraska. (seeing a trend there?)
81. SCARIEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU?
Rolling a car. See #1. Watching my wife pregnant with child #2, wondering if either were going to survive.

No. Sashimi, neither.
91. LAST THING YOU WATCHED?
As in, TV? Iron Chef, Battle Sardine.
92. FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR?
The day in August when the heat finally breaks and we get thunderstorms.
93. ARE YOU TOO SHY TO ASK SOMEONE OUT?
No, but that's academic anyway.
94. SUMMER OR WINTER?
They each have their pros and cons. Summer's nice because I've never had to call in late to work because of 8" of hot. But since heat wilts me like yesterday's lettuce, I'd have to say Winter.
95. KISSES OR HUGS?
What, that's it? Kisses, but the question didn't specify where.
96. RELATIONSHIPS OR ONE-NIGHT STANDS?
Relationhips. I've no talent for just walking away.
97. WHO DO YOU SECRETLY LOVE?
I love a lot of people, none secretly.
98. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE YOU MACKED IT WITH IN THE PAST YEAR?
We'll just pretend we know what that means. Academic anyway: one.
