Current mood:  bored

So yeah, been a while since I did one o' these.  Thanks (and apologies) to Oozle.

---

What kind of magnets do you have on your refrigerator?:
-The kind that stick to steel.  My favorites are two from weddings (Brian and Maryanne, Tank and Willow), one that says "I'd Rather Be Hiking The Appalachian Trail", and one that comes with a set of coupons from Firehouse Pizza.  Their pizza isn't great, but why don't more pizza places do this?


Do you have a bumper sticker on your car? What does it say?:
-Obama '08


Look directly behind you.
What do you see?:
-My collection of D&D rulebooks.  From very beginning Gary Gygax pre-AD&D (reprints, alas) to 3rd edition.  When 3.5 came out I started thinking "Why?".


Is there any art on your walls? What is it of?:
-A poster.  Clint Eastwood as the Outlaw Josey Wales.


What do you like to collect?:
-Various pointless crap.


Most annoying sound?
-Anything high and screechy.


What gives you chills (in a bad way) when you think about it?:
-Falling into deep, cold, murky water.


Do you put potato chips on your sandwich?:
-The only other time I've ever heard of anyone doing this was years ago on the Cosby Show, when Cliff was sitting on the couch trying to relax and watch the game and Claire was bugging him about something.  During the whole dialogue he had this giant sub sandwich with the top taken off sitting on his lap and he was very carefully arranging chips on it.  Maybe I'll try it the next time I have a sub. 


Ever left the remote in the refrigerator?:
-No.


Chore you hate the most?:
-Cleaning the &^%ing cat box.


Is there a chore you actually like to do?:
-I'm gonna regret this, but I actually like mowing the lawn.  It's just walking and pushing, walking and pushing.  And it's out in the fresh air.


Song you say you hate but really secretly like?:
-You know what?  I stopped worrying that people would stop liking me because I liked particular songs a while back.  I figure if they do it's their problem.


TV show and movie you secretly like but don't like to admit?:
-See above.


Do you want to be something other than an actor or singer?:
-I'm an actor or singer?  When did that happen?  Where the hell are my residual checks?


Do you like a firm mattress or soft?:
-Generally firm feels better on my back.  But soft is more comfortable.


If you had to change your name, what would it be?:
-I like my name.  I think it's a perfectly good name.  If I HAD to change it, like if the Mob was after me or something, it'd be kind of stupid to post my preference on the internet, now wouldn't it?


Carpet, ceramic or hard wood floors in living room?:
Hardwood.


Interesting fact about the town you were born in?:
-Robert E. Lee had an estate there before the Civil War.  After the war started, it was seized by the Federal government and the house became a hospital, while the grounds were used for a cemetary for Union dead.  They still are, actually.


Were you born in the town you live in now?:
-No.


Worst natural disaster you've ever been through?:
-Never really been through one.  Unless the Endless Rains of 2003 count.


Ever had a bird poop on you?:
-No, actually.


What color are the walls in your bedroom?:
-Off-white with a bluish tinge.  I'm sure there's an official name.


What is your favorite scent of air freshener?:
-New Car.


What is your favorite smell?:
-Pot roast.


Did you know your thumb is the same length of your nose?:
-You mean AS my nose?  No, I did not know that.


What sound does your pet make?:
-Whiny meow, plaintive meow, demanding meow, claws ripping flesh, purr.


Do you keep a box of baking soda in you fridge?:
-Sometimes.


If candy grew on trees what kind of tree would you plant?:
-Almond.  I like almonds.


Did you put your thumb to your nose to see if they were the same size?:
-I'm gonna take YOUR word for it?  They're almost the same length, going along the bridge.  But surface-area wise my nose is larger.

Are you admitting to being a fan of Justin Timberlake then? I'm just asking.

I'm not a fan of JT the person mostly because he
1. gets a lot more action than I do and
2. acts incredibly smug about it.

But I've been known to sing along to one or two of his songs.

The "expert" is here to inform you that the worst natural disaster you have lived through was the Blizzard of 1993, which was costliest snowstorm in U.S. history and the most damaging in recorded world history.

Well, you're the expertiest weather expert I actually know, with the book and the TV appearences and the hey hey.

Blizzard of '93, huh? I remember we were snowed in a couple of days. But it seemed like that happened every other year for a while there.
