mellybrelly:
1.Name someone with the same birthday as you. Google says I share the day with Dean Stockwell, Niki Taylor, and Jake "little Ani" Lloyd. I hear Niki Taylor went to school around here somewhere... I always use the Boston Massacre as the famous note on my birthday.
2.Where was your first kiss? It was in a church, either under a pew or in a closet. I forget exactly. I certainly don't forget Wendy, though.
3.Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else's property? Not that I remember.
4.Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex? I punched my sister Jessica once, full-on in the gut. We didn't get along as kids, but she's my favorite relative now. I was a lousy brother, growing up. I hope I've become a better brother. At least I don't hit anyone anymore.
5.Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people? I started some time in grade school. The first significant time that I remember singing a solo in front of an audience was in high school as a major general, then later as a two-bit huckster selling instruments in River City, Iowa.
6.What's the first thing you notice about the preferred sex? Depends on the distance. At my preferred distance, it would be eyes.
7.What really turns you on? Fingers in my beard.
8.What do you order at Starbucks? Earl Grey, hot. Once upon a time, it was an iced grande soy chai.
9.What is your biggest mistake? Selfishness.
10.Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose? I sometimes pinch or slap myself to stay awake.
11.Say something totally random about yourself. I love shar pei and gevulde spekulaas, but not together.
12.Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity? At very different times, I've been told I looked like both Rob Lowe and Kevin James. I'm working on getting back towards the Rob Lowe end of the scale. Personally, I don't think I ever looked like either of them.
13.Do you still watch kiddie movies or tv shows? Cartoons rock.
14.Did you have braces? Nope. My wisdom teeth shoved out my front two teeth on the bottom, marring an great smile for someone with as much British blood as I have.
15.Are you comfortable with your height? Yes.
16.What is the most romantic thing someone of the opposite sex has done for you? Lately? Handed me a CD.
17.When do you know it's love? When the thought of life without her hurts.
18.Do you speak any other languages? Some Spanish, less German. Anything else is just a few words and phrases: Portuguese, Hebrew, Dutch, French, Russian. I used to have a phrase in Mandarin, but I forgot the tones.
19.Have you ever been to a tanning salon? Not with this skin!
20.What magazines do you read? Bon Appetit, Mother Earth News, Dragon, CSO, a few others.
29.Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance into the emergency room? Not once.
30.Do you actually read these when other people fill them out? Usually.
