A question of Twos...

Two Names You Go By:

Boy, wish I could make this one exciting. Sorry.

1. William, by family and a few co-workers
   
2. Bill, by most everyone else

Two Parts of Your Heritage:

1. Welsh
   
2. English (No, they're not the same thing, ya bastard)

Two Things That Scare You:

1. Being alone, in the larger sense.
   
2. Religious zealotry, and that goes for Christians too.

Two of Your Everyday Essentials:

1. Family. Trite, but there it is.
   
2. Coffee, but more for the ritual than the drink itself.

Two Things You Are Wearing Right Now:

1. Grey hooded sweatshirt
   
2. Denim colored briefs. Tried boxers once, but Bailey and the Boys didn't enjoy that much.

Two of Your Favorite Bands or Musical Artists:

1. James Taylor. The white guy from Maine (Fire and Rain), not the black blues singer (Must've Had A Real Bad Day).
   
2. Nathan Rogers. Son of famous Candian folk singer Stan Rogers, and while he certainly didn't fall far from the family tree, he's a solid musician in his own right.

Two Things You Want in a Relationship (other than Real Love):

1. Laughter
   
2. Intimacy

Two Truths:

1. If voting worked, it would be illegal.
   
2. There is no one who is not capable of being educated beyond his or her intelligence. Thankfully, such cases are rare, and occur mostly in religious zealots.

Two Physical Things that Appeal to You:

In the opposite gender, or the same gender? It makes a difference. Let's go opposite gender, shall we?

1. Small ankles
   
2. Breasts, size immaterial, no silicon please

Two of Your Favorite Hobbies:

That's a toughie, really, a toughie. I've turned just about every hobby I ever had into a revenue generating device (with varying degrees of success) which disqualifies any of those activities from being a "hobby".

1. Reading
   
2. Woodworking

Two Things You Want Really Badly:

1. A guitar by this man.
   
2. Time alone with my wife (sorry kids, you know I love you, but...)

Two Places You Want to go on Vacation:

GO on vacation, or have a vacation at. I don't wish to go anywhere, but there are plenty of places I'd like to be. I'm not much of a traveller - I hate the journey. I'm also a homebody.

1. Dublin
   
2. Hell, just having a vacation would be nice.

Two Things You Want to Do Before You Die:

1. Live in a house that I designed and built. I don't necessarily want to be the architect and draftsman, but I want to control the layout, size, and composition of the rooms.
   
2. If we're really dreaming here? See the Titanic as she sits now.

Two Ways that you are stereotypically girlie:

1. I cry at movies. That bit near the end of Finding Nemo where Dory is trying to stop Marlin from leaving and says, "When I'm with you, I'm...I'm home"...Gods, I can't even type it. *sniff*
   
2. I don't enjoy the normal "guy" things: big racks, beer, sports, hunting, etc. When Britney Spears got the new boobs back in 2001, all the guys in the office celebrated. Asked for my opinion, the only thing I could think to say was "Okay, now she's just another chick with big, plastic tits. Big damn deal." I don't know if that's girlie, per sé, but there you have it.

... and boyish too:

1. You should see me with a hammer and a power saw.
   
2. Fashion, as in, none. Jeans, T-shirts, tennis shoes.

Two Things You Normally Wouldn't Admit:

Wow. I don't have any secrets that I know of.

1. I'm fiercely protective of my personal space - a meaning that includes my home as well. Arrive uninvited, you'll likely not get past the front door, if I open it at all.
   
2. See Finding Nemo reference above

Two Things You Are Thinking About Now:

1. My work day, which I should have started long ago, and technically did if you count this morning's work from home.
   
2. mljm, wondering how she's doing, and if her day has started yet. With two children under the age of five at home, yes, probably it has.

Two Stores You Shop At:

1. Lowes
   
2. Lowes

Two people I would like to see take this quiz:

Most everyone I know here already has.
