I stole this one from elexa<\/a>, who stole it from thee_mea_culpa<\/a>, who stole it from…<\/p>\n

1. WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING? The first alarm rings at 6:43 a.m.; the second alarm rings at 7:11 a.m.; I finally roll out of bed between 7:45 a.m. and 8:15 a.m., on a good day.<\/p>\n

2. IF YOU COULD EAT LUNCH WITH ONE FAMOUS PERSON, WHO WOULD IT BE? Alive: Mary Stuart Masterson. Dead: Norman Maclaren.<\/p>\n

3. GOLD OR SILVER? Silver.<\/p>\n

4. WHAT WAS THE LAST FILM YOU SAW AT THE CINEMA? Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings<\/i> (I think… it’s been a long time<\/b> since I’ve been to a movie!<\/p>\n

5. FAVOURITE TV SHOWS? Currently on: 24<\/i>, CSI<\/i>, Will & Grace<\/i>. Past shows: Nash Bridges<\/i>, Moonlighting<\/i>, Mann & Machine<\/i>.<\/p>\n

6. WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR BREAKFAST? According to my diet plan: Two starches, one milk, one fruit. In other words, a bowl of cereal (usually Kellogg’s “Vive” and “All Bran Buds”) with SOY milk<\/b>, and a banana or an apple.<\/p>\n

7. WHO WOULD YOU HATE TO BE LEFT IN A ROOM WITH? My former photography teacher (I hate that guy!) …and I actually once HAD to have dinner with him since my parents are friends with a woman he is dating, and didn’t know my history with whats-his-name!<\/p>\n

8. CAN YOU TOUCH YOUR NOSE WITH YOUR TONGUE? Yes.<\/p>\n

9. WHAT INSPIRES YOU? Music, sometimes; Life and Love at other times.<\/p>\n

10. WHAT’S YOUR MIDDLE NAME? Sorry, that’s classified information!<\/b><\/p>\n

11. BEACH, CITY, OR COUNTRY? Country, the more pristine and untouched the better.<\/p>\n

12. SUMMER OR WINTER? Summer, even when it’s sweltering.<\/p>\n

13. FAVOURITE ICE CREAM? Tiger Tail, or Pistachio.<\/p>\n

14. BUTTERED, SALTED OR PLAIN POPCORN? Salted. Avoid that artificial simulated butter substitute “Golden Topping” at the theatres… there’s enough grease in the popping oil.<\/p>\n

15. FAVORITE COLOUR? Purple, then black, then red. Interestingly enough, my old high school’s colours were: B<\/b>lack, H<\/b>eliotrope (aka purple), and S<\/b>carlet (aka red), representing the initials of the school’s original name. Also interestingly, I have a lot of rooms in my house painted light blue, maybe because it’s such a calming colour.<\/p>\n

16. FAVORITE CAR? Toyota Tercel. It’s what I drive, but I don’t really have a “favourite, dream car” as such.<\/p>\n

17. FAVORITE SANDWICH FILLING? Tuna salad.<\/p>\n

18. TRUE LOVE? I thought so a couple of times, but it never survived. How about LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT? I can honestly say I’ve encountered that only once (and I don’t just mean lust and infatuation), but sadly she’s no longer a part of my life.<\/p>\n

19. WHAT CHARACTERISTICS DO YOU DESPISE? Stupidity, especially as different from Ignorance.<\/p>\n

20. FAVORITE FLOWER? Pink carnations, maybe.<\/p>\n

21. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAD A BIG WIN IN THE LOTTERY? Rebuild my house; or move to the country, retire early, and expand my publishing and photography interests.<\/p>\n

22. FIZZY OR STILL WATER AS A DRINK? Water as water: plain. <\/p>\n

23. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR BATHROOM? I just finished repainting it: Flyaway Blue, which is somewhere between “Robin’s Egg Blue” and “Orson Budgie Blue”, about as close to the budgie feather as I could easily find. White trim. Black carpet. UGLY almond shower enclosure I did nothing about.<\/p>\n

24. HOW MANY KEYS ON YOUR KEY RING? Four: two house keys, two office desk keys. I also have my car key on a separate ring. Oh, and the key to my bicycle and the back shed on another ring.<\/p>\n

25. WHERE WOULD YOU RETIRE TO? Australia, maybe, or Vancouver, or the northern part of Southern Ontario.<\/p>\n

26. CAN YOU JUGGLE? IF YES HOW MANY? No.<\/p>\n

27. FAVORITE DAY OF THE WEEK? They are all about the same.<\/p>\n

28. RED OR WHITE WINE? White. Or a White Zinfandel, which is actually a blush.<\/p>\n

29. WHAT DID YOU DO FOR YOUR LAST BIRTHDAY? The same thing I’ll be doing for my next birthday: going on a biking holiday with tammy2tall<\/a>! And having another Garden Party at Xoozland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
