about yourself?

of?

Are you currently single, involved, or married? Expand if you wish.

What are the things you find are most attractive about the opposite
sex?

The same sex?

What are some intriguing or off the wall little facts about you?

If you had to eat one certain food daily for the next year, what would
it be?

If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, celebrity or average joe, who
would you choose?

If you could choose any one place in the world to live, where would it
be?

If you won the Powerball tomorrow, what would be the first thing you

Tell us something that makes you laugh uproariously.

Describe one of your most embarassing moments.

Some of the comments in this newsgroup and RMB.

> Describe one of your most embarassing moments.

Not recognising the members of Los Lobos when I worked at a music rental
company and telling them the guitar picks we had were only given out in
certain circumstances. They asked me just how famous to you have to be?
They then told me who they were and I felt very embarrased to say the least.

> How about something that royally pisses you off?

Stupid ignorant people.

> What are some of the things that you are MOST passionate about?

Spiritual enlightenment, music and computers. They all flip flop in their
priorities from day to day.

>What are some of your interests/hobbies?

Music (listening), Winterguard (performing), eating, sleeping.

>Describe your personality type

Emode says I'm a collie. I say I'm extremely shy, a bit nervous, but very
sincere. I'm a thinker, and I believe life is for living.

>What nicknames have you had?

Chris, Christophine, Daffy.

>What would you say are your character strengths?

I'm balanced and practical, but still a dreamer.

>Weaknesses?

I'm socially anxious.

>If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

Not getting embarrassed so easily.

>Conversely, what is the one thing about you that you wouldn't change
>about yourself?

My hair! Seriously, being practical.

>What are your achievements/accomplishments that you are the most
>proud of?

My bronze medal. not because of the medal, but because of what I, and my team,
did to earn it. I'm most proud of my Guard and what we've accomplished.
Personally, my ability to live my life without dwelling on pleasing others, but
doing what I want, always.

Basically, I'm proud of being selfish.

>Are you currently single, involved, or married? Expand if you wish.

Involved. You know the situation.

>What are the things you find are most attractive about the opposite
>sex?

I tend to be attracted to Jews, actually. I don't know why, it's usually
coincidence. Honesty, intelligence, and someone who lives like I do, for
themselves.

>The same sex?

The same stuff.

>What are some intriguing or off the wall little facts about you?

But I'm not intriguing or off-the-wall. Um, I like to wear colorful socks.

>If you had to eat one certain food daily for the next year, what would
>it be?

only that food, or just some of that food every day? Cookies.

>If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, celebrity or average joe, who
>would you choose?

Probably George, though I don't know what I'd say to him.

>If you could choose any one place in the world to live, where would it

Somewhere rural in north or central Florida. Summers in London.

>If you won the Powerball tomorrow, what would be the first thing you
>would do with the money?

I'd stop working, buy someplace nice to live, but that's it, probably. I'd
still do what I'm planning on now without having to worry about a lame job.

>What is your favorite book(s) and/or author(s)?

I don't read.

>Tell us something that makes you laugh uproariously.

I like goofy humor.

>Describe one of your most embarassing moments.

I'm always embarrassed. Nothing devestatingly embarrassing has ever happened
to me, though.

>How about something that royally pisses you off?

Poeple who are snobby or judgemental.

>What are some of the things that you are MOST passionate about?

Guard, again. My life.

>If one "theme song" could be played every time you entered a room,
>what would it be?

Something goofy, like Porcupine Racetrack.

>Any tattoos, body piercings or other sought after painfulness?

My ears are pierced.

>How about any weird addictions?

The internet. Cookies and ice cream.

>What is one thing you hope to do/see/accomplish before you die?

Contentment.

>Anything new/exciting going on in your life right now that you would

No, not really.
