I was tagged by noxxedup and counterpunches.

If you were a character from your favorite show, movie, or book, which one would you be and why? 

Sometimes I like to think I'd be an Arthur Dent and sometimes I'd bet I am a Dirk Gently, but in either case I have no control over the situation. I just have a better grasp on that lack of control in one of those cases.

Mac or PC?

I have zero reasons to own a Mac, so its PCs for me. But really, I have no preference either way.

First thing you are attracted to in a person?

Uh....humor?  Ability to blend in my particular insanity jumbo?

Would you be friends with yourself?

I'd like to think so. I mean, I'm an asshole, but the nicest one I know.

Favorite drink?

SELTZER. Especially the fancy type that comes in the glass bottles that get delivered to the house...mmmmm....

What’s the most interesting name for a pet you’ve ever had?

Never had any pets. I've been named some interesting things though....

Sweet or salty?

Sweet

What would your patronus be? (stealing this one.)

I think we determined my spirit animal was a coyote the other day, so Imma go with that.

If you could buy any vehicle in the world, and money were no object, what would you buy?

Hovercraft. It would be impossible to control, but HILARIOUSLY AWESOME.

Who would win in a fight, Dumbledore or The Doctor? (stealing this one, too.)

I don't understand why either of them would be fighting...so both.

Are you allergic to anything?

Dust mites and mold. It made my French accent in high school French class amazing though.

Bananas or apples?

Ugh. Neither. But bananas make me dry heave, so definitely not those.

Favorite books?

I keep going back to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and American Gods. So those. Also most of Vonnegut's stuff.

Blanket or Snuggie?

Blanket - you can't build forts out of snuggies.

Pants or shorts?

Pants. No one wants to see my ladder bruised shins.

If you could only watch three movies for the rest of your life, what would they be?

Guh....The Shawshank Redemption, The Fall, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Maybe. (this is the list for this current minute, anyway)

Whats your favorite thing to make in the kitchen?

Googly eyes at the foods my more skilled friends make for me, as I wash things.

Whats the most awkward thing that’s ever happened to you?

Most awkward? I can't even recall. I can tell you I love the taste of my feet. Like that time I was designing lights for a dance piece being done by a blind lady and in working with her assistant I said something along the lines of "let me fade this up slowly so that we don't all go blind" before my brain caught up with my mouth.

Who would win in a fight, a ferret or a cat?

Are we talking feral cats, house cats, or big cats? Cause a ferret could take a house cat, I'd bet, but the other two categories....no dice Riki Tiki Tavi. (I know, that's a mongoose. Sue me.)

What was the last band/musician you saw live?

Park Avenue Orchestra's rehearsal in our space. For an actual performance The Americas Society's "Tango with Pablo Manietti" which was very cool, but also in our space. I don't get out much but, concertina!

Grossest habit you have?

I pick at my lips until they bleed. Its not very attractive and leaves me with some nasty bloody fingertips/nails. But I can't stop....

As for my ten questions:

Movies, TV or Theater - which do you prefer?

What's the farthest place you've ever been from home?

What's your ideal vacation?

Meal of choice - breakfast, lunch or dinner?

Do you still talk to your best friend from when you were a kid?

Which band would you want to see get back together?

What's your dream job?

Would you rather have a giant dog for a pet (think Clifford) or a tiny elephant?

What's your favorite word?

Rainy days or sunny days?

Alright I choose - thetravelerslight, connoisseurofhumanfolly, liveinthewind, makepastanotwar, jennathings, steenbot, and squ33ble
