• Name someone with the same birthday as you.
  

  Eric “George Orwell” Blair. Also Lord Louis Mountbatten, Broadway directory George Abbott, King Crimson guitarist Ian McDonald.

• Where was your first kiss?
  

  First romantic kiss was outside of a cast party when I was in high school, with the seriously cute viola player from the orchestra.

• Have you ever seriously vandalised someone else’s property?
  

  Nope.

• Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?
  

  As much as that feels like a different person…yes.

• Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people?
  

  Quite often, actually.

• What’s the first thing you notice about the preferred sex?
  

  How their face changes when they smile.

• What really turns you on?
  

  Intelligence.

• What do you order at coffee shops?
  

  Hot chocolate

• What is your biggest mistake?
  

  If “biggest mistake” is defined as “thing you must regret”, not choosing SQ when I had the chance. On the other hand, given the chance to change that decision, I wouldn’t, because then I wouldn’t end up where I am today.

• Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose?
  

  Not physically.

• Say something totally random about yourself.
  

  Given a chance, I will wear as little as I can possibly get away with.

  Can’t say that anyone has.

  Absolutely! Still sometimes read kiddy books, too.

• Did you have braces?
  

  Sometimes, but I prefer to wear a belt.

• Are you comfortable with your height?
  

  Not especially. It’s sometimes useful to be this tall, but its sometimes awkward, too.

• What is the most romantic thing someone of the opposite sex has done for you?
  

  Brought me flowers just to cheer me up.

• Do you speak any other languages?
  

  No, though I regret that. I just haven’t put forth the effort to really learn another one.

• Have you ever been to a tanning salon?
  

  Nope.

• What magazines do you read?
  

  Current subscriptions: National Geographic, Smithsonian, Entertainment Weekly, Playboy, SysAdmin, Network Computing, Consumer Reports, Poets and Writers. Oh, and Xenofilkia 🙂

• Have you ever ridden in a limo?
  

  Yep. I hired a limo to take us from the airport to the hotel when we went to ConCertino a couple of years ago. 🙂

• Has anyone you were really close to passed away?
  

  Yes.

  Not anymore. Really, not since Martha Quinn left.

  People who call but don’t leave a message

• What’s something you really like?
  

  Smart girls.

• Do you like Michael Jackson?
  

  Couldn’t say. I’ve never met him.

• What’s the latest you have ever stayed up?
  

  After 70 straight hours, the word “latest” ceased to have any real meaning.

• Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance into the emergency room?
  

  Yep. May 20, 1998, the night my apartment burned down. I had second-degree burns over 80% of my back and shoulders.

• Do you actually read these when other people fill them out?
  

  Of course I do. People are interesting.
