LIVING ARRANGEMENT? I live by myself in university-sponsored grad student housing. I’ve actually got two rooms and a private bathroom. It’s palatial. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW? I’m between books. Last thing I finished that wasn’t assigned: _Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban_ WHAT’S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? I believe it’s a detail from “La Dame a la Licorne,” a medieval French tapestry. FAVOURITE BOARD GAME? Scrabble FAVOURITE MAGAZINE? _Atlantic Monthly_ FAVOURITE SMELLS? peaches, vanilla, freshly baked bread FAVOURITE SOUNDS? moving water, Gregorian chant, bells WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD? Guilt. Jealousy isn’t much fun either. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING? “I need more sleep…” ROLLER COASTER, SCARY OR EXCITING? scary (and nauseating) HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE? However many happen before I get there. FUTURE SON’S AND/OR DAUGHTER’S NAME? Don’t know if I want to have kids, but if I do their names will be suitably literary, and uncommon but not outlandish. WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN LIFE? love, friendship FAVOURITE FOODS? Buddy’s Pizza has some awesome cheese fries… CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA? Depends on the form. Vanilla, I suppose. Unless it’s really nice Belgian chocolate. DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE FAST? Not particularly. DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL? I don’t think I ever really did. I had some stuffed animals when I was little, but always ended up throwing them out of bed. IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE DECISION YOU’VE MADE: Hmmmm. I can’t think of one, though I know there are some I regret. WHAT TYPE WAS YOUR FIRST CAR? 1997 Pontiac Sunfire. I still drive it. COULD MEET ONE PERSON DEAD OR ALIVE. William Shakespeare! Who else? FAVOURITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK? hard cider WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN? Gemini. That stuff’s a load of nonsense, of course, but now you have a basic idea of when my birthday is. DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI? Not usually. IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED WHAT WOULD IT BE? Opera singer. Or English professor, which I’m actually trying to become. IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOUR? Well, I like the color I have now, but I think I’d make a pretty good redhead… EVER BEEN IN LOVE? Well, I don’t think it was _real_ love… NOTTING HILL, AMERICAN PIE OR SIXTH SENSE? Well, I haven’t seen any of them, but _Sixth Sense_ is the only one I’d _want_ to see. ARE YOU A LEFTY OR A RIGHTY?? righty WHAT’S UNDER YOUR BED? Dust bunnies. And a bag that once held garlic bread from Giordano’s. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE NUMBER? 91 FAVOURITE SPORT TO WATCH? hockey SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO POSTED THIS TO BEFORE YOU. **xanadu** has a great idea for a dream job! PERSON WHOSE RESPONSES YOU LOOK FORWARD TO READING THE MOST? **Polycarp, Fenris, CalMeacham, Maeglin** ---

**LIVING ARRANGEMENT?** With a ferocious guard-cat, in a flat the size of a shoebox. **WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?** As part of my “professional reader” arrangement with the local bookstore, something called “Tell No-one”. For recreation, Michael Moorcock’s “Dancers at the End of Time” trilogy, and “Deception” by Stel Pavrou (which isn’t that thrilling, IMHO). **WHAT’S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?** My home one is plain black. My work one is from a music company called “Perpetual Ocean” and it has a ouija board motif. **FAVOURITE BOARD GAME?** Monopoly **FAVOURITE MAGAZINE?** There’s a radio industry magazine/newsletter that I never miss. **FAVOURITE SMELLS?** The ocean, caramel or cinnamon. **FAVOURITE SOUNDS?** My cat purring. **WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD?** That sinking feeling you get when you really screw up and realise that the window of opportunity for repairing the mess before anyone else noticed or was affected closed about five seconds ago.

I’m petrified of heights. **HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE?** Depends on how long it takes me to find the rotten thing. It moves on its own, I swear. **FUTURE SON’S AND/OR DAUGHTER’S NAME?** Son: Connor Patrick (no particular reason). For some reason, I have no idea about a daughter’s name. Since I’m not planning on having kids anyway, it’s a moot point. **WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN LIFE?** Family, friends, keeping your balance in the middle of a shitfight, metaphorical or otherwise. **FAVOURITE FOODS?** Tiramisu, and there’s a local restaurant that makes a seriously delicious kangaroo thingy. **CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA?** Chocolate, if it’s good chocolate. Otherwise vanilla. **DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE FAST?** Yes, and I have the speeding fines to prove it ☹ **DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL?** No. **IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE DECISION YOU’VE MADE:** I wouldn’t. I’ve done some dumb things, but I wouldn’t change anything. All those stupid things have helped make me the person I am today. **WHAT TYPE WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?** Toyota Corona. Bits fell off it on a semi-regular basis. **COULD MEET ONE PERSON DEAD OR ALIVE.** **FAVOURITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK?** VB (beer) or Guinness. **WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN?** Aries. **DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI?** I eat no part of broccoli. **IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED WHAT WOULD IT BE?** I already have that job. 😃 **IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOUR?** Green. I’ve already done every shade of blonde, red (including crimson), purple, brown and black. **EVER BEEN IN LOVE?** Yes. **NOTTING HILL, AMERICAN PIE OR SIXTH SENSE?** Sixth Sense, hands down. **ARE YOU A LEFTY OR A RIGHTY??** N/A **WHAT’S UNDER YOUR BED?** Dust kitties and, occasionally, a real kitty (he stalks me from under the bed). **WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE NUMBER?** 3.785914984354988861457 **FAVOURITE SPORT TO WATCH?** Swimming. Straightforward, doesn’t take too much brainpower. **SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO POSTED THIS TO BEFORE YOU.** “One nice thing about the person who posted this to before you.” Oh, you meant…oh, I see. Made me laugh - this is always a good thing. 😃 **PERSON WHOSE RESPONSES YOU LOOK FORWARD TO READING THE MOST?** Everyone’s. ---

LIVING ARRANGEMENT? I share a three bedroom apartment with my niece and our cat Timmy. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW? Between books at the moment. Wow, I hadn’t noticed. WHAT’S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? Staff Leasing Logo - (It was here when I got here and since it’s just a mousepad, I haven’t cared to change it) FAVORITE BOARD GAME? Scrabble FAVORITE MAGAZINE? Cosmo and Playboy share the spot for favorite magazine. (Hetero-female here… Playboy really does have kick-ass articles) FAVORITE SMELLS? Fresh washed baby. (They smell so good!!!) FAVORITE SOUNDS? Rain on a tin roof. (If no tin roof is available just the sound of rain will do) WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD? Betrayal. (Its anger, pain, regret and the hollow crushing sting of being lied to all in one.) WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING? What time is it really? (My alarm is always a few minutes fast so I have to double check to see what the real time is) ROLLER COASTER, SCARY OR EXCITING? Exciting - but some are a real letdown. HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE? First I check Caller ID - then I answer right away. (I hate the phone though so I don’t stay on for long) FUTURE SON’S AND/OR DAUGHTER’S NAME? Victoria Isabel and Melissa Anne (please God, Twin Girls) Michael Anthony or Robert Andrew for boys. WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN LIFE? Inner peace. Family, Friends, Temperance and Faith. FAVORITE FOODS? Anything sweet and bready. Whatever fits those qualifications… I LOVE IT! CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA? Chocolate DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE FAST? No, but I will if I have to. DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL? Nope, never have. IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE DECISION YOU’VE MADE: 1997 - Deep down inside (ok not that deep down) I knew my then boyfriend (lets call him Satan) was trouble. I should have stayed away from him. I should have known better. 5 years, a drug addiction, a miscarriage, $10,000 in credit card and check fraud later - yeah hooking up with Satan is my biggest regret. WHAT TYPE WAS YOUR FIRST CAR? Mitsubishi Mirage COULD MEET ONE PERSON DEAD OR ALIVE. My Maternal Grandmother - (My mom’s dad abandoned them when she was born and her mom died when she was 12. My Grandmother was a single mom in South America in the 30’s. My mom is such a wonderful person, my Grandmother must have been amazing. She didn’t listen to what people said about a woman trying to raise kids alone. She knew even back then, that if she just didn’t give up she could do it.) FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK? Baileys and Cream WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN? Cancer DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI? Yes IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED WHAT WOULD IT BE? Hotel/Spa Evaluator. (Does this really exist?) Scenario: I would get paid to spend time pampering myself in posh hotels and spas and then get to rate them. Like a mystery shopper with massages, expensive dinners and stuff. IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR? Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman Red. (My skin tone is a bit too dark to pull Red off.) EVER BEEN IN LOVE? I’ve come to realize that for love to be “real” it must be reciprocated so the answer is No. NOTTING HILL, AMERICAN PIE OR SIXTH SENSE? Notting Hill - Never saw it American Pie - Laughed my ass off Sixth Sense - Like it but felt so sorry for little Cole. Poor kid - If he had been born with that “gift” in Africa,Haiti or Cuba he would have been revered, made Chieftain or something like that. Here the poor kid was just a freak. ARE YOU A LEFTY OR A RIGHTY?? Righty WHAT’S UNDER YOUR BED? Cat toys or whatever else Timmy drags under there. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER? 21 FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH? Hockey SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO POSTED THIS TO BEFORE YOU. Arisu likes Chocolate - I like Chocolate… She’s cool in my book. And she shares an apartment with three other girls… must have the patience of a Saint. PERSON WHOSE RESPONSES YOU LOOK FORWARD TO READING THE MOST? I’m am not that familiar with any one person yet so I look forward to everyone’s responses. ---
