1. What’s the last movie you saw in a theatre?  
The Ring.

2. What book are you reading now?  
I’m reading: A demon haunted world, Starship Troopers, Evolutionary Wars, Return of the King, and Case Closed.

3. Favourite board game?  
Hmmm…That would probably be either Jubmondo or Trivial Pursuit.

4. Favourite scents?  
My SO’s.

5. Comfort food?  
Sushi, although something disgustingly fatty and loaded with calories can suffice.

6. What’s your favourite sound?  
" **I’M CU$%ING!!**"

7. What’s your favourite magazine?  
Maxim. Hands down.

8. What’s the worst feeling in the world?  
Had to be when I got a line drive right to my sac. Good God, I cramp up just thinking about that… :eek:

9. What’s the first thing you think about in the morning?  
It’s not you actually. It’s usually, “must hit buzzer…must hit buzzer…CHRIST where is buzzer??”

10. What was your first car?  
1984 Jetta GL.

11. Which person in history would you most like to spend an afternoon with?  
Have to be Jesus, to confirm God and what not, shoot the shit, talk about loose outer wear.

12. What’s on your christmas list?  
It’s too long to post here, so I will say only this: A good book to read about the philosophy of God (you know, in case number 11 comes true, I’d want to not sound like an idiot).

13. Cybersex: Yea or nay (don’t worry, everyone will lie on this one)  
No. and I’m not lying. I prefer the real thing. Not to mention, I don’t fancy the idea of a 900lb disgusting wide load on the other computer.

14. What’s the best feeling in the world?  
I’m going to assume this is aside from orgasm. Hmmm…I’d say a good massage, after a long hard day. With soft music playing.

\*\*1. What’s the last movie you saw in a theatre? \*\*

Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets

**2. What book are you reading now?**

I don’t want to say. I mean, er, it’s nothing intellectual or anything. I’d rather quote a line from it:

> [@](#):
>
> He stormed her virginal castle until it lay conquered…

(yes, I had a grand laugh when I read that line)

\*\*3. Favourite board game? \*\*

I haven’t played one in forever…the family does Mille Bornes at holidays, but that’s more of a card game.

\*\*4. Favourite scents? \*\*

Vanilla

\*\*5. Comfort food? \*\*

Chili

\*\*6. What’s your favourite sound? \*\*

Sound? I don’t think I have a favorite sound.

\*\*7. What’s your favourite magazine? \*\*

I don’t read many…the only one I read regularly  
\*\*8. What’s the worst feeling in the world? \*\*

That “oh shit, I screwed up” feeling.

\*\*9. What’s the first thing you think about in the morning? (I know it’s me but I’m putting this question in anyway) \*\*

Lately? Damn, I overslept. Oh well, nothing I have to do anyway.

\*\*10. What was your first car? \*\*

'77 Hornet station wagon with brown wood paneling and one orange door.

**11. Which person in history would you most like to spend an afternoon with?**

I’d say Jesus, just to see what he was really like - I mean, there’s a huge influence on history on the part of his followers. So what was it about the man?

\*\*12. What’s on your christmas list? \*\*

A new laptop

**13. Cybersex: Yea or nay (don’t worry, everyone will lie on this one)**

Nah - it’s like a one-night stand: not my style.

\*\*14. What’s the best feeling in the world? (I’m finding it interesting that this came right after the cybersex q) \*\*

An afternoon nap - that slow waking up that comes from it, and being all warm and cozy, and not having to get up, but doing it because you’re energized and ready to deal with the rest of the day.
