mapsedgeLife is on a more even keel at home. Another test or two for M to confirm that the selected treatment is correct - with no real expectation that it won't be - and we move on. I'm looking forward to re-establishing routine, which will happen...well...next week.
I had planned to post this last week, but then life happened...
I had planned to post this last week, but then life happened...
01. Can you cook?
Yes, though you don't want to be at the table on a night when I feel like experimenting. I'm not one of those cooks who just "gets it": it takes three tries or so to work out the kinks.
02. What was your dream growing up?
To work in the theatre. Dreamed about that last night, actually. Those dreams usually make me cry.
03. What talent do you wish you had?
Oh, Lord, I have enough talents. I wish the talents I had were more polished.
04. If I bought you a drink what would it be?
Assuming alcohol, I have three, and it depends upon the night: vodka-tonic; marguarita; strawberry daquari. Non-alcoholic: cappuchino.
05. Favorite vegetable?
Corn on the cob.
06. What was the last book you read?
I last listened to "American Gods." I'm in the middle of "The Bad Place", by Dean Koontz.
07. What zodiac sign are you ?
Pisces
08. Any tattoos and/or piercings?
Left ear pierced, though I don't wear anything in it any more.
09. Worst habit?
Fingernail biting, though I'm trying very hard to break it.
10. If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?
For the people on my flist, sure. For a lot of other people too.
11. What is your favorite sport?
Sports, by and large, I'm pretty ambivalent about. Football for a couple quarters unless it's a really dynamic game.
12. Negative or optimistic attitude?
Typically negative.
13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
Depends on your gender. I can wait in silence very patiently.
14. Worst thing to ever happen to you?
Having my father sicken and die at a time in my life when I was just beginning to learn what it is to be a man.
15. Tell me one weird fact about you.
Weird? Compared to what? I'm a guy who can sew, cook, clean, and I worry more about my partner's pleasure than my own. Is that weird?
16. Do you have any pets?
Three of a species different from mine.
17. What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?
Depends, but in the best of all possible worlds, invite you in, feed you. At least, make coffee or tea.
18. What was your first impression of me?
Since I'm answering the questions without context, we'll let this one slide.
19. Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
Depends on the clown.
20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
One thing, and one thing only? The shape of my face. I'd love to have at least one reasonably sharp angle.
21. Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
What's the crime?
22. What color eyes do you have?
Green.
23. Ever been arrested?
No, though I have had cops draw down on me twice. Staring down the barrel of a loaded gun can be a little unnerving.
24. Bottle or draft?
Cappuchino doesn't come either way.
25. If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?
Pay off debt.
26. Would you date me?
No context. Sorry.
27. Where's your favorite place to hang out?
I don't "hang out" very well. A comfortable chair with a cold drink, just about anywhere with good friends. No, scratch that...I am starting to get a favorite hang out place, though I still require the presence of friends: the local coffee shop.
28. Do you believe in ghosts?
Yeah, I do.
29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Spare time...spare time...I used to know what that was...
30. Do you swear a lot?
Yep.
31. Biggest pet peeve?
Personal: rudeness. Work: projects with deadlines where the goals/requirements are ill defined.
32. In one word, how would you describe yourself?
One word? Damn.
33. Do you believe in/appreciate romance?
Guardedly.
34. If you could spend 12 hours with me and ask/do anything you like, what would it be?
Context, people! Context!
35. Do you believe in God?
I believe we create God in our own image. I'm kind of a polytheistic agnostic.
36. Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same?
