1. Do you like blue cheese? Yes.
2. Have you ever smoked a cigarette? Yes, a couple of times, they are too bitter unless I am really drunk. I used to smoke cigars on a regular basis but they give me bronchitis now, so I don't, any more.
3. Do you own a gun? no. I'm a better shot than the guy who introduced me to the gun club, though
4. What flavor do you add to your drink at Sonic? Que ... ?
5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? Not really. Dentists, hell yes.
6. What do you think of hot dogs? Bockwursts, bratwursts, with proper mustard and sauerkraut, yum. Or Canadian smokies and relish, yum yum.
7. Favorite Christmas Song? a choice between mainstream favourite the Pogues' A Fairytale of New York, bitter anti-commercial favourite Greg Lake's I Believe in Father Christmas, or wide-eyed childhood favourite Wombling Merry Christmas.
8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? coffee, and then some
9. Can you do push ups? yes. don't often. Don't really want the biceps any more
10. What's your favorite meal? a medium rare pope's-eye steak with new potatoes, fried mushrooms and fried onions, and maybe red wine jus
11. What's your favorite piece of jewelry? the necklace that Aoife picked out for me
12. Favorite hobby? Reading.
13. Do you work with people who idolize you? I don't think so. I seem to intimidate the people I work with who are at the same level as me, quite a lot of my juniors, and one or two of my seniors as well, but I'm pretty sure that I am nobody's idol. I'm also pretty sure that my boss is idolised by some of the people I intimidate, and I think quite well of him too.
14. Do you have A.D.D? No.
15. What's one trait that you dislike about yourself? Lack of confidence, which, given my answer to 13 above might seem ironic, but think about how one might overcompensate to cover up
16. Middle name? I don't have one, and as a result, neither do any of my siblings because my parents forgot in my case and didn't want me to feel left out in their cases
17. Name 3 thoughts at this moment. I should delete the previous answers before filling these things in, interesting but not surprising that Liz Williams listens to the Mediaeval Baebes, I'm going to see Amanda Palmer next month.
18. Name 3 things you bought yesterday. Toothpaste, onions, windscreen wipers
20. Current worry right now? debts
21. Current hate right now? the guy who drove his skip lorry into my car on Wednesday
22. Favorite place to be? in a world of my own
23. How did you bring in New Years? A good party with good friends
24. Where would you like to go? the list is long and covers most of Europe, some of the New World, oddly little of the rest of the world although I fancy Hong Kong and Singapore.
25. Name three people who will complete this? be interesting to find out but I wouldn't care to hazard a guess. The sole respondent to the last one was a complete stranger.
26. Whose answer do you want to read the most? Whoever cares to do the thing.
27. What color shirt are you wearing? stripy blue and white
28. Do you like sleeping on satin sheets? never tried it, nor silk, neither. I like satin nighties, though.
29. Can you whistle? Yes, much better than most people
30. Favorite color(s)? the average wingspeed of an unladen swallow.
31. Would you be a pirate? Arrr, we be murderin', rapin' mutineers who don't dare sleep with but half an eye open for our 'mates' ... possibly not.
32. What songs do you sing in the shower? Patricia the Stripper
33. Favorite girl's name? Elaine (I chose it for myself after all)
34. Favorite boy's name? Michael, after all it's the one I was given
35. What's in your pocket right now? a ring I didn't know I had ... the world looks funny, where's my hand, what's that sniffing sound?
36. Last thing that made you laugh? my boss's descriptions of the 'processes' an old client used
37. Best bed sheets as a child? I don't remember paying attention to that, although my mother has just found my old sheets in a suitcase, that had hockey players on. I still have my old baby blanket, though.
38. Worst injury you've ever had? suspected cracked elbow (bruise the length of my entire arm but I didn't lose any function and it didn't hurt too much so I never had it x-rayed)
39. Do you love where you live? my country, yes. my city, yes. my flat, yes. the location where my flat stands in my city ... could stand improvement.
40. How many TVs do you have in your house? One.
41. Who is your loudest friend? Jim Campbell
42. How many dogs do you have? none
43. Does someone have a crush on you? I doubt it.

46. What is your favorite candy? Co-Op Fairtrade Spiced Orange Chocolate
47. What is your favorite sports team? Montreal Canadiens
48. What song do you want played at your funeral? Dunno. I attended a funeral where 'Another One Bites the Dust' got played, and 'Isn't It Grand Boys' (to be bloody well dead) is another good one. But, and this is the pompous streak in me coming out, I'd quite like the 'Fanfare for the Common Man' to be playing as the coffin goes into the furnace.

50. What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up this morning? shit I should have got to sleep earlier
