Sep. 19th, 2004 04:28 pm1. First Name:
Dan
2. Were you named after anyone?
Not that I know of.
3. Do you wish on stars?
No.
4. Which finger is your favorite?
Probably my right index finger - it's the most dexterous.
5. When did you last cry?
This morning.
6. Do you like your handwriting?
No. I've never had great penmanship, but since becoming so dependent on computers, it has only gotten worse.
7. What is your favorite lunch meat?
Peanut butter or bologna.
8. Any bad habits?
Too many to list.
9. What's in your CD player right now?
Nothing.
10. Do you believe in soul mates?
I think there are people who "get me" better than anyone, but I don't like the seeming singular exclusivity of the term.
11. Are you a daredevil?
Oddly enough, I can be in strange ways. I'd never sky dive or bungee jump, but I like whitewater rafting and rappelling.
12. Have you ever told a secret you swore not to?
A few times, but I disgusted myself afterward.
13. Do looks matter?
Not if there's a personality that I can relate to. That said, I'm pretty lecherous and get concerned about getting whiplash in public places.
14. Have you ever misused a word and it sounded absolutely stupid?
Sure.
15. Do you think there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?
No.
17. Are you trendy?
Only by accident.
18. How do you release anger?
Grumbling, bitching, and trying to avoid the person with whom I'm angry.
19. Where are your second homes?
Anywhere in the Intermountain region with a camera in my hand.
20. Do you trust others easily?
Eh. I've been known to have blinders on at times. I do try to take people at face value until the need is proven to do otherwise.
21. What was your favorite toy as a child?
Either my Legos, Micronauts, or Big Trak.
22. What class in school did you think was totally useless?
In 10th grade I took a general business data processing class. It was punch card-based. Probably the last of its kind. I was interested in the development of the codes used on cards, but the utility of the class was definitely limited.
23. Do you have a journal?
Just this LJ. I don't trust what I might write in a paper one.
25. Have you been in a mosh pit?
Nope.
26. What do you look for in a boy/girl?
Someone who appreciates my weird sense of humor and wildly varying hobbies. They don't have to do them with me, just "get" me.
27. What are your nicknames?
I have a couple of private ones, but no others I feel the need to share here.
28. Would you ever bungee jump?
Probably not.
29. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
Yes.

Red.
33. What is your least favorite food?
Maybe Lima beans.
34. How many wisdom teeth do you have?
None - they all came out when I was 18. One was impacted and the other three were too big for my jaw.
35. Are you in love with anyone?
Yes.
36. How many people have a crush on you right now?
