1. Were you named after anyone?
My parents named me after both of my grandfathers. In my mom's case, that would be her step-father. I met my biological grandfather when I was 13 or 14 and discovered what I knew to be true already: Woodrow, my step-grandfather, is my real grandfather.
2. When was the last time you cried?
A couple of weeks ago, in the confessional.
3. Do you like your handwriting?
No, but I'm unwilling to put in the effort to change it.
4. What is your favorite lunchmeat?
Hillshire Farm ™ Deli Select Brown Sugar Baked Ham.
5. Do you have kids?
No, but I do have certain anatomical features which are necessary in begetting them. Alas! I'm uninterested in the necessary-to-procreate anatomical features of the female of the species, and will therefore never have children.
6. If you were another person, would you be friends with you?
Since I don't know this hypothetical alter-ego, I can't really answer that question.
7. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
I don't think so.
8. Do you still have your tonsils?
As far as I know, I still have all my parts!
9. Would you bungee jump?
That depends—am I under pain of death if I don't bungee jump?
10. What is your favorite cereal?
Basic 4™. Either that or Fruity Pebbles™ with Nestle Strawberry Milk™. Or Cookie Crisp™ with half-and-half.
11. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
No, my shoes are into bondage.
12. Do you think you are strong?
To quote the Princess Buttercup (I love that movie!): "Only compared to some."
13. What is your favorite ice cream?
What indeed?
14. What is the first thing you notice about people?
Guys—hair (probably because I'm balding). Girls—face.
15. Favorite US city?
Have to say the Detroit metro area because this is the only place I've lived, and is therefore the only place I'm familiar with.
16. What do you like least about yourself?
The stretch marks on my belly.
17. Who do you miss the most?
That super-hottie Dean Cain. Never met him, but boy do I miss him! No, really, in all seriousness, I miss my friends Matt B. and Steve F. the most.
18. Do you want everyone to send this back to you?
Since I'm posting this on my blog, this question is irrelevant.
19. What color pants and shoes are you wearing?
I'm not wearing clothes, heh heh!*
20. What was the last thing you ate?
A sugar cookie with blue frosting and "patriotic" sprinkles.

A cricket chirping in the driveway.
22. If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
I would like to be some cheerful, heart-warming color. Suggestions, anyone?

An acre of lilacs in full bloom in the early morning. Fresh cedar chips. Vanilla.
24. Who was the last person you talked with on the phone?
My friend Marty.
25. Do you like the person who sent this to you?
I don't know him very well, but so far I do.
26. Favorite sports to watch?
Male swimming and gymnastics competitions. And real wrestling. And men's beach volleyball. And Aussie Rules Football.
27. Hair color?
Light brown, just a few shades away from blonde.
28. Eye color?
Blue.
29. Do you wear contacts?
No.
30. Favorite food?
Hmm. Don’t know. I like the shrimp chips at Thai restaurants. Lentil soup, hummus, and fattoush from Mediterranean places. Chinese: crab Rangoon. Mexican: tacos. Soul: black-eye peas with ham hocks and corn bread. "Whitey" food: Orange glazed salmon with rice pilaf and asparagus.
31. Scary movies or happy endings?
If by scary you mean slasher flicks, you can keep them! They're so cliché, they drive me crazy. And they leave nothing to the imagination. Give me the old black-and-whites of, say, Village of the Damned or Psycho—something that keeps my sub-conscious at work, making me feel eerie and suspenseful. Comedies are good, too.
32. Last movie you watched?
The Mostly Unfabulous Life of Ethan Green. Or maybe it was Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
33. What color shirt are you wearing?
See the answer to question 19.

Hugs because I'm not supposed to do that kind of kissing, what with the chastity thing and all.
