Nope – last reheat of a chicken-and-black-bean stew type thing I made a few days ago. Did a team you can root for make it to the Final Four? ---

To be honest, I don’t pay attention to sports anymore… d&r Ever taken a martial arts class? ---

When I was a kid I took some Ti Quan Do (Ti Quando?) classes. I didn’t had much discipline, so I never practiced at home like I should have. Do you have a myspace account? ---

Since I don’t know what that means, that’s gotta be a “no.” Do you have any allergies? ---

Nothing I know of besides mold… I’ve never had any noteworthy allergic reactions to anything other than the occasional sniffle, which is common. Do you make your bed each morning? ---

Not really. I prefer more-open to more-enclosed spaces, but it’s well this side of full-blown claustrophobia. Will you be doing any April Fool’s pranks? ---

Don’t plan any, but who knows what opportunities may present themselves…? Any big plans for today? ---

It’s also my last term before graduation. So I guess that kind of counts. Did your family film or video tape you as a kid? ---

Edit: No… Never filmed me as a kid. As for photo’s I have maybe 50 at most from my childhood. Was never a big fan of being in photos really… Ever piloted an aircraft? ---

No. Sat in the copilot’s seat on both a single-engine plane and a helicopter, but never actually flew either. Do you like gospel music? ---

I listen to electronica mostly… house, electro, chill-out, ambient, hardstyle, and a few other genres. I also enjoy a shot of Classical from time to time. I don’t particularly listen to music with lyrics… Do you exercise regularly? ---

Nope. Half of the joy of leaving high school behind was “hurrah, sport no more !” Do you believe in anything supernatural or “unexplained” ? (little grey men, ghosts, the Bermuda Triangle, mediums, angels etc…) ---

No… not anymore (I have to trick my mind into “not believing they exist” or I see shit any time I am alone)… The things I’ve seen I never want to see again… Nothing gruesome, but very disturbing. For instance, this one night I was at home alone. I was 15. I was alone in the apt and it was around 9pm. I had a very deep almost shaking feeling come over me and then I looked towards the kitchen… I noticed a giant dark shadow creeping along the walls filling the entire area I was looking at, almost like smoke… I turned my head and looked back and nothing was there. I got out of the house immediately. Any time I am alone somewhere I see shit… I’d hate to live alone. I’d probably go mad within a week’s time. Have you ever seen anything you couldn’t really understand or explain? ---

Sort of. I was alone in a house once at night and was _certain_ that someone was downstairs due to noises and just an… unexplainable awareness. But I could find no one. Very scary for me, at the time. Do you believe in love at first sight? ---

As cheesy as it sounds… yes. I think that’s what happened when I met my current gf. To be honest, growing up I was always like “eh, I’ll never get married”… But once I _met_ her it was “This is the kind of girl I’d marry”… Marriage isn’t because discussed at the moment, but hey, if it ever happens, she’s the one. Do you frequently sleep with music or the television on? ---

Not frequently – I’ll sometimes nap with the TV on, but turn off all sound-making gadgets when I go to bed. Do you sleep with a stuffed animal? ---

Nope… just my 2 pillows. Allergic to any bugs or animals? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/get-to-know-each-other/489836.md?page=17) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/get-to-know-each-other/489836.md?page=19)
