Are things I don't have to answer here.

1. How did you first find my journal?
2. Why did you originally decide to friend me?
3. What's your favorite part of my journal?
4. What's your least favorite part of my journal?
5. Ask me a question. Be as random as you want.
6. Have you ever met me in person?

1. Probably through Kiri, because I know her from alt.c and #c and other places.

2. Because you're interesting in your own right, and because you're Kiri's partner.

3. Just about everything except the answer to No. 4.

4. The baseball stuff. It doesn't offend me or anything, I'm just not interested, so I skip it.

5. Why penguins?

6. To the best of my knowledge, no.

Never mind the "why penguins?" question; I asked before reading the other answers. Instead, please substitute, "Penguins invented prostitution? Could you be more specific?".

Part of the mating ritual for several species of penguin is the male offering a pebble to a prospective mate. In Antarctica, that's the only material to make nests out of, after all.

Now most penguins mate for the season, alternating egg and chick watching duties. But sometimes, the already mated female will go through the entire mating ritual with additional males just to get their pebbles. Poor guys don't know she's already laid eggs (or is close to doing so. They just, err.. get their rocks off while the male partner is off getting food. When he comes back, he chases off the interlopers. The poor duped penguins, taken in by these hussies, remain mateless for that season.
