snagged from [livejournal.com profile] firecat as she slumped in exhaustion after filling this out.


DO YOU SNORE?
Sometimes. Usually when my allergies are bothering me or I have some other sinus issue.

ARE YOU A LOVER OR A FIGHTER?
A fighter. It's you and me against the world, let's attack!

WHAT'S YOUR WORST FEAR?
Coming out of remission.

AS A KID, WERE YOU A LEGO MANIAC?
Oh, yeah.. This was before Lego made "playsets" that you were supposed to build one certain way. Just red and white blocks. I remember building lots of spaceships and guns. (and that surprises no one, of course.)

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF "REALITY" TV?
I enjoy it. I'm a Survivor fanatic, like shows like Cops and Real TV. I never miss American Chopper and enjoy some of the odder make-over shows like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Monster Garage and Monster House.

DO YOU CHEW ON YOUR STRAWS?
No.

WERE YOU A CUTE BABY?
I redefined cute. I was the Platonic ideal of "cute baby."

IS THE SINGLE LIFE FOR YOU?
Nope. Happily married.

WHAT COLOR IS YOUR KEYBOARD?
Beige. With odd spots of food debris.

DO YOU SING IN THE SHOWER?
Sometimes, if the mood strikes.

HAVE YOU EVER BUNGEE JUMPED?
Nope. and I feel no need to do so anytime soon.

ANY SECRET TALENTS?
Yes, I can [CENSORED BY JOINT AGREEMENT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, THE VATICAN, AND THE OUTER HEAD OF THE OTO] but only if the lemons are fresh.

WHAT'S YOUR IDEAL VACATION SPOT
New York City. I admit it, I'm addicted and need to go back.

IS JAY LENO FUNNY?
Not nearly as funny these days as he was a few years ago. He's gotten too aware of his position, and it affects his delivery.

CAN YOU SWIM?
Yes. I was quite the waterbug as a kid, and took the Army's survival swimmer course (so I can swim in full uniform and boots.. but why?)

HAVE YOU SEEN THE MOVIE "DONNIE DARKO"?
Nope.

DO YOU GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE OZONE?
Yes, so I try to my little part to help destroy it once and for all! Mwahahaha!!!

HOW MANY LICKS DOES IT TAKE TO GET TO THE CENTER OF A TOOTSIE POP?
Hammers are your friend.

CAN YOU SING THE ALPHABET BACKWARDS?
I just tried. No.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ON AN AIRPLANE?
Dozens

ARE YOU AN ONLY CHILD?
Nope! Big brother, little sister. I is an evil middle child!

DO YOU PREFER ELECTRIC OR MANUAL PENCIL SHARPENERS?
Manual. Of course, given a choice I use mechanical pencils.

WHAT'S YOUR STAND ON HUNTING?
Not for me, but I understand the need to cull deer herds now that we've eliminated all the natural predators. As long as the hunters actually use what they kill, I have no problems with the sport.

IS MARRIAGE IN YOUR FUTURE?
Future, present and past.

DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
OK, an embarrassing admission.. I don't know how to write in cursive anymore. I can sign my name (which has about four recognizable letters out of DOUGLAS E. BERRY) but when asked to do more than that I can't recall how to form most of the letters. My printing is done in block capitals ( a legacy of my Army days.) So the short answer is no, I don't like it.

WHAT ARE YOU ALLERGIC TO?
Some damn pollen that lives only in Santa Clara County, and the island of Oahu.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAID, "I LOVE YOU!"?
That would be last night.

IS TUPAC STILL ALIVE?
No, it's Elvis in blackface.

DO YOU CRY AT WEDDINGS?
Nope.

HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR EGGS?
Scrambled hard, with pepper (or Tabasco)

ARE BLONDES DUMB?
Nope.

WHERE DOES THE OTHER SOCK END UP?
In a seedy brothel run by the Légion Étrangère De Français in Djbouti, crying in its beer about its perfect mate left far behind...

WHAT TIME IS IT?
1740 ZULU (1040hrs PDT)

DO YOU HAVE A NICKNAME?
Sniper, Penguin Boy, The Duck

IS MCDONALD'S DISGUSTING?
No, it's exactly what it claims to be: fast food.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE IN A CAR?
Couple of days ago.

BATHS OR SHOWERS?
Showers.

IS SANTA CLAUS REAL?
Not a physical being, but as a cultural meme, very real.

DO YOU LIKE TO HAVE YOUR NECK KISSED?
By certain people, yes.

ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?
Hell no! I'm infantry, we own the night!

WHAT ARE YOU ADDICTED TO?
Caffeine, baseball, arguing on Usenet

CRUNCHY OR CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER?
Creamy

CAN YOU CRACK YOUR NECK?
No. Knees and ankles are another story.

HAVE YOU EVER RIDDEN IN AN AMBULANCE?
Oh, yeah...

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BRUSHED YOUR TEETH TODAY?
None yet.

IS DRUG FREE THE WAY TO BE?
I see drug use as a personal choice. From my own experiences, I avoid using drugs (or even too much alcohol) because I have an addictive personality.

ARE YOU A HEAVY SLEEPER?
More so as I get older.

WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR EYES?
Brown/green

HOW LOUD DO YOU SNEEZE?
I've woken up [livejournal.com profile] kshandra

WHO'S BETTER: STONE COLD OR THE ROCK?
I know who they are, but only know The Rock from his appearances in movies, so i can't judge.

Nope.

HAVE YOU READ "CATCHER IN THE RYE"?
Yes, back when I was a teenager. Read that back to back with "Nobody Gets Out of Here Alive".

DO YOU PLAY ANY INSTRUMENTS?
Nope. Something I plan to change if I ever get back to school.

I laugh bitterly. I'm a klutz when I'm on solid ground!

HAVE YOU EVER STOLEN MONEY?
Yup. From a neo-Nazi who tried to attack me and friend in Georgia.

CAN YOU SNOWBOARD?
Ghu no. My opinion on flinging oneself down a frozen mountainside is well known.

DO YOU LIKE CAMPING?
Yup.

DO YOU SNORT WHEN YOU LAUGH?
Only if I'm laughing so hard that it interferes with my breathing.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC?
I'm keeping an open mind.

ARE DOGS A MAN'S BEST FRIEND?
I've never had one pick up a bar tab, so no.

YOU BELIEVE IN DIVORCE?
If a relationship is broken beyond repair, and both parties wish for an ending, then divorce is a good option. I dislike people who treat marriage casually.

CAN YOU DO THE MOONWALK?
Not very well.

DO YOU MAKE A LOT OF MISTAKES?
Some.

IS IT COLD OUTSIDE TODAY?
Currently 71, supposed to reach the mid-80s later.

DO YOU WEAR NAIL POLISH?
Not for years, and that was for Rocky Horror.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN KISSED?
Damn right!

WHAT'S THE MOST ANNOYING TV COMMERCIAL?
Any of the Ditech.com ones.

My current favorite is the iPod commercial showing fans of rival baseball teams finding common ground in their choice of music machine. The shot of the two Giants fans at a picnic filled with Dodgers backers cracks me up every time.

DO YOU SHOP AT AMERICAN EAGLE?
Never heard of it.

FAVORITE SONG AT THE MOMENT?
Green Day - Holiday

WHO'S YOUR BIGGEST CRUSH RIGHT NOW?
Lance Niekro, rookie 1st baseman for the Giants.

OK, it's not really a crush per say, but damn this kid is impressive! .258 average, 5 home runs (leading the Giants) and 13 RBIs. Good defense too.

SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON THAT POSTED THIS.
She is a lady of class and generosity.
