Everyone needs a creative outlet; for me, it's paint & fabric. What is your creative outlet?

It was an intensely personal day, it was the first day of my honeymoon. We went skiing in Vermont, but the first day we drove up, hungover from the wedding, and stopped at little shops and cafes and tourist attractions, things you normally don't do when you just want to "get there". A 6 hour drive wound up taking 12. But it was so spontaneous, we had a 10 days off, and a bag of money, endless possibilities, and it was just a happy day.

You are walking to work, you see a homeless guy holding a box with a few dollars in it. Do you give him cash, food, or keep walking?

Mary Queen of Scots by Antonia Fraser. It was the first "grown up" non fiction book I ever read for pleasure, I was maybe 13. It made the long dead historical people seem like real people to me for the first time.

The original Legend Of Zelda

Pool noodles & duct tape are two things that can be used for a variety of things. You can make that cooler o'beer float

Richard III, so i could just know if he's a baddie or not.

He should be awarded money for the use of his image, but not for the implication he is Turkish. My stepmother is Greek, my neighbor is Turkish. They are pretty damned similar, imo.

HAL from 2001, so creepy and so potentially possible.

Great White. I find the idea of having my body discovered by mystery beings to be somewhat upsetting, for a reason i don't quite understand.

Do you think too much about what you eat, or not enough?

You should stop worrying about being productive artistically; thinking about it stifles creativity, IMO. Unless it is practical stuff, like bills, then just bite the bullet and force yourself to do it. It will be over soon enough~

Yes.

Have you?

I have a talent for versatility~ i would rather have a talent for stability.
