Where did you go on your best vacation ever?

No, not now in the daytime. At 3 AM with insomnia, i am more open to debate~

If you woke up tomorrow morning and founds that from now on, money was no object, what would you do first?

When i was little, we used to spend a week every summer at a resort in the Catskill Mountains. The year i was 9 was the first year my mom & stepdad would let me out of their sight for that week, and that year it was magical. I made new friends, explored the woods, hung around the stables, went fishing, did all the things a kid could do, and did it with pretty much minimal adult supervision.

Do you believe in intelligent life on other planets?

Better mental health screening for gun owners (and in general) and limits on private ownership of high caliber or rapid refire weapons.

Gatorade or Powerade?

Yellow

How many chairs do you have in your house?

I knew there were a lot lol~

Um, my stepbrother gave me a travel mug with a picture of my dog on it, it was very sweet and surprising from him, he usually is a twit, so I kinda love it.

What is the best gift you ever gave someone not your kids?

My parents were divorced when i was 4, and my Dad was away in the Army. When he came home, he visited me every week for a while, then 2 weeks before my 8th birthday, he dropped me off, said "See you next week" and never came back. It was a few years before i stopped waiting for him on Saturday morning.

What was the best pet you ever had?

An RX 7, it was several years old, but it was awesome

Do you like to watch TV shows as they come on, one episode a week, and wait for the next season to start, or do you like to wait for it to end, and watch the whole thing at once on DVD?

Do you like desk detritus (pens, rulers, scissors, etc) in a cup on your desk or hidden in a drawer?

How many continents have you stood on?

My Mother, no question, whether I like that or not~

What song do you really like in a genre you generally hate?

Moved far from home alone.

What famous person do you admire (and i say famous to forstall answers like "My Mom", lol~)?

I was about 4, I was hiking in the woods with my Mom, and she stepped on a piece of styrofoam. The sound of styrofoam crunching STILL makes me cringe.

Which person from all of history would you like to interview? What would you ask them?

Kazakhstan~ it is multi cultural as opposed to most -stans (apparently Stalin used the place to deport people to during ethnic cleansings and pogroms), and is not on Human Rights watch lists, either. It has an upcoming economy, and for Central Asia, seems more OK than the rest of the -stans. I liked this question; I had to do some research to answer it.

Are you planning on watching the Super Bowl, and if so, did you join any pools or bet on it?

I told someone that life is too short to waste time dithering, you never know what could happen next, you could die tomorrow. It was a lesson I learned the hard way, and good advice always comes from experience.

To get out of my comfort zone, and move to Montana

If you could change just one thing about yourself, physical or otherwise, what would it be?

Yes, even ennui comes to an end

At the theater? Brave. At home? Inception.

Cartoons, more individually creative, IMO.

I have also used the soap, water, wet rag & iron method on a beige rug, BUT the rug has to be a natural fiber like wool or cotton. DO NOT use heat on a synthetic rug.

At least a dozen or more, as my kitchen lies between both my bedroom and living room and the front door.

The coldness can give you an ice cream headache

If you could live anywhere, where would you live?

If it was a week, the great mean. But a month? The variety.
