Date: 2007-03-11 08:05 pm (UTC)Yes. Maybe not up to Emiril, but I can whip up a pretty decent dish.
2. What was your dream growing up?
To be a veternarian. Until I found that I don't care for real blood.
3. What talent do you wish you had?
I wish I could write music.

Walt Disney World, The Happiest Place On Earth (TM)

6. What was the last book you read?
FRANKENSTEIN, The Norton Critical Edition
7. What zodiac sign are you ?
Taurus, Very Taurus

Oh, my Gods and Monsters, No. I want to go through life without ever having sundered my flesh for the sake of mere decoration.
9. Worst Habit?
Procrastination
10. Do we know each other outside of lj?
Yes, happily
11. What is your favorite sport?
I can't really think of one. Sports tend to bore me; I am very much a theatre person.
12. Negative or Optimistic attitude?
I like to think mine is Optimistic with a touch of Realistic.
13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
I know what i'd like to do. What probably would happen would be the sharing of fun stories and conversation to pass the time until the rescue crew climbed down the elevator shaft. (Or until power was restored, whatever came first.)
14. Worst thing to ever happen to you?
My time on the submarine, worse even than my o'erhasty marriage. Oh well, I survived. Whatever doesn't kill you will only mke you stronger. Or whinier.
15. Tell me one weird fact about you:

OK, I don't care for thrash heavy metal music. Don't know if you would consider that weird or not, but, given the open-bookness of the rest of my life ...
16. Do you have any pets?
Racer The Pooh :-) :-) :-)
17. Do you know how to do the macarena?
Yes, though it's not knowledge that I regularly apply.

3 PM
19. Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
Depends on what they are doing.
20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
My teeth. Spaced in a way that I don't at all like. Have always been rather self-conscious about them.

Both, probably, with an edge towards crime-partner.

Green-brown

Sugarless, if any.
27. What 's your favorite bar to hang at?

Not really.
29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Engage in whatever media (books, movies, music) ha my greater interest at the moment.

Deliberate ignorance.

Alive.
33. Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
