OT: Getting to know you
Dixon Hayes
Copy, (not forward) this entire e-mail and paste it
onto a new e-mail that you will send. Change all of
the answers so that they apply to you. Then, send
this to a whole bunch of people you know INCLUDING the person who sent it to
you. The theory is that you will learn a lot of little known facts about your
friends. It is fun and easy. You might be surprised with some of the things
you learn about people you "think" you know.....

Local Chinese place called Chan's.
>>17. SCARIEST MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE?
We almost caught our house on fire last week with a forgotten candle housed

extinguishing the fire rather ineffeciently (And in a mild panic!).
>>18. IF THERE WAS A MOVIE MADE ABOUT YOU, WHAT CURRENT
>>/FORMER HOLLYWOOD STAR WOULD PLAY YOU?

IT BE?

sticky and hot in the station
7. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO BE MASSAGED?
hmmmm...just about anywhere
8. WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT, STRONG IN MIND OR STRONG IN BODY?
Since I believe reality is largely a mental construct, the answer is obviously
`in mind'
9. WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE IN THE MORNING?
Normally, between 7 and 8

11. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE KITCHEN APPLIANCE?
Mr. Coffee. I also have a big cutting board of which I am fond.
12. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MEMORY?
Certain smells, like the smell of the streets after a rainfall, trigger very
strong memories of being 10 or 11 and being outside and playing for hours
with lots of other kids on the street. At night, the play would culminate
in a wild game of "manhunt" or "hide and go seek." I sometimes get really
nostalgic for those days. The sounds of pop music from the early 70s can
also trigger such memories.
13. WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH?
Irony and absurdity, such as a Luis Bunuel or Fellini movie, or something
like Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal." Also, The Onion, or the politically
satiric columns of Ted Rall and Tom Tomorrow.
14. WHAT MAKES YOU REALLY ANGRY?
Social injustice. Also, bad work situations in which I've gotten royally
screwed by very unfair treatment.
15. IF YOU COULD PLAY ANY INSTRUMENT WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I'd like to play the banjo and/or the ukulele and form a group to play old
music from 1900-1930.

that serves either.

Standing in Times Square on 9/11/01, watching the tape loop of the terrorist
attacks, not knowing whether another attack was imminent, and also not knowing
how I was going to get out of Manhattan.

25. WHO WAS YOUR FIRST LOVE AND AT WHAT AGE?
I was a late bloomer - Mary, a co-worker, when I was 23. I fell in love with
her on a date at CBGBs. Everything prior to that was superficial. Maybe this
was superficial, too, but it sure didn't feel so at the time.
26. THE SONG YOU WISHED YOU HAD WRITTEN?
Mr Tambourine Man - Bob Dylan; or, perhaps Nobody Knows You When You’re Down
and Out.
27. DO YOU PREFER CATS OR DOGS?
dogs, but actually, I ultimately want a good fishtank filled with various
tropical fish

Tiny Dancer
of humans we have here! Must be my turn, so let's get to it.
1. IF YOU COULD BUILD YOUR HOUSE ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
On just about any body of water or in the deep countryside in England.
2. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ARTICLE OF CLOTHING?
My nightie 'cause I don't have to impress anyone! Not yet anyway ;-)
3. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PHYSICAL FEATURE OF THE OPPOSITE SEX?
Gotta go with the popular choice and say eyes. A nice smile also goes
a long way especially if they have all their teeth!
4. WHAT'S THE LAST CD THAT YOU BOUGHT?
Doesn't really count 'cause I didn't buy it but I am SO grooving to Elton's
newest, "Songs From The West Coast". I cannot say enough about how
terrific it is. Not one single click-through song on the album and that's rare.
The last one I actually bought would be a '70s compilation one in the good
old Time-Life Sounds Of The Seventies series.
5. WHERE'S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO BE?
At home, I'm just not the social butterfly I once was. Second favorite would
have to be where I had lunch today, Carlos Murphy's with an NTN Trivia
Playmaker in front of me.
6. WHERE'S YOUR LEAST FAVORITE PLACE TO BE
The hospital. Gives me horrible flashbacks to all the times I damaged
myself as a child!
7. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO BE MASSAGED?
The bedroom ;-) Or the neck/shoulders, whichever comes first.
8. WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT, STRONG IN MIND OR STRONG IN BODY?
Definitely the mind. One of the sexiest parts of the body to me.
9. WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE IN THE MORNING?
When Riel starts yelling, "Time to get up, MOOOMMMM!", which is usually
by about 7AM.
10. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW?
Current: Scrubs, CSI, and Da Vinci's Inquest (the best crime drama Canada
has ever produced, it seriously rocks!).
All-time: The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Taxi, and Barney Miller.
11. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE KITCHEN APPLIANCE?
The coffee maker.
12. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MEMORY?
Feeding the ducks with my Grandpa in Canvey Island, Essex, England.
One of the few stable times in my young life was the time I went to school
and lived with them for a few months while my parents were on the road.
13. WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH?
Bill Cosby in his prime, ditto for Robin Williams, "Some Like It Hot",
"Fawlty Towers", my son on a daily basis.
14. WHAT MAKES YOU REALLY ANGRY?
Stupid people that should be slapped hard! And friends that don't keep
their promises no matter how trivial.
15. IF YOU COULD PLAY ANY INSTRUMENT WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Definitely the piano. I'd like to be Kate Bush or Diana Krall in my next life.
16. FAVORITE RESTAURANT/CAFE/EATERY?
Not so much for the food but Carlos Murphy's is the only place I go these
days (mainly for the trivia, the regulars and Cindy the bartender). Otherwise,
just wheel me up to the Mandarin chinese food buffet and look out!
17. SCARIEST MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE?
Luckily I was unconscious for the biggie (my head trauma as a kid). Next
scariest was the first time Riel took off when we moved into our current
abode. Scariest hour of my life not knowing where the heck he was and
the greatest relief when the cop car pulled up with him in the back, whew!
18. IF THERE WAS A MOVIE MADE ABOUT YOU, WHAT CURRENT/
FORMER HOLLYWOOD STAR WOULD PLAY YOU?
In my dreams, Marilyn Monroe. In reality, probably Camryn Manheim.
19. DO YOU BELIEVE IN AFTERLIFE?
Yes indeedy!
20. FAVORITE CHILDREN'S BOOK?
Early childhood: Charlotte's Web.
Teen: Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret.
21. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON?
Summertiiiiime, and the livin' is easy.
22. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE HOUSEHOLD CHORE?
All of 'em! I'm the worst housekeeper on the planet. I think it stems from
the white glove treatment my Mum used to give me :-P
23. IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
To go back in time and be able to relive the good stuff and fix the bad stuff.
24. IF YOU HAVE A TATTOO, WHAT IS IT?
A very small heart on my right hand above the index finger. I'm this close
to getting another one but can't decide what yet.
25. WHO WAS YOUR FIRST LOVE AND AT WHAT AGE?
I probably fell in love with the doctor that delivered me, it happened so
many times! My first memory, though, was Derek at school when I was
about 10 years old. He barely knew I was alive.
26. THE SONG YOU WISHED YOU HAD WRITTEN?
Elton's "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" or The Beatles' "Across
The Universe" or "Here, There And Everywhere".
27. DO YOU PREFER CATS OR DOGS?
Cats rule and dogs drool!
28. WHAT'S IN THE TRUNK OF YOUR CAR
Nada, don't have a car :-(

Boy the way the Bee Gees played
Movies John Travolta made
Guessing how much Elvis weighed
Those were the days

You are on, babe! Is there really a place called Way Cool Tattoos? Cool :-)
I got this one back in the early '80s at a grungy little underground place on
Dundas. It wasn't a communist lair or anything, you had to go down a flight
of stairs to get there. Can't remember the name now but an old Chinese guy
ran the place. The whole place was no bigger than my teeny livingroom.
A counter, one chair, walls covered with old tattoo sketches yellowed from
age and cigarette smoke, a lone naked light bulb illuminating the dank.
I figured all tattoo parlours looked like this, it had character. What the heck
was I thinking?! It was a present to myself from my first real paycheque.
Ahhh, youth.
The red part of the heart faded away after about 10 years so whenever I do
get a new one I'd like to have that filled back in as well. Don't want another
heart tat but I can't decide which way to go yet. I may live to regret it but you
can help me pick something out, Rach :-)
Cheers,
TD

seahorse, Nigel's sun on his back AND the impressionist type scorpion on his
calf... You are in good hands. I have to figure out what it is I want and
what it is... I like stuff on my back so it will likely be there. Way Cool
was on Queen W and also a store on Yonge just at my old street, Isabella.
