Monday Morning Questions
OK, my friend’s blog has 56 interesting questions answered, thus securing my Monday morning entry:
1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT? When I was 8 years old, I was running around in a campsite in the dark and my face got clotheslined by a tent rope. I was down for the count and blood was everywhere. By a great stroke of luck it happened to get only my upper lip, instead of a lot of worse places on my face that I can think of. Now that I’m older not only has it faded but it’s behind a beard.
2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM? Just paint. Yeah, I’m lazy.
3. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN? 2:22am.
4. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW? To travel the world on a shoestring budget.
5. WHAT DO YOU MISS? Snowboarding. Had a chance to do it in March and thoroughly enjoyed it.
6. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION? I’d have to say my laptop. I care more about it than most people, given that with its help, rent gets paid. I can’t say that about most people.
7. HOW TALL ARE YOU? 5′8. Short in Canada, tall here. I don’t miss being short.
8. DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DAY? Depends on which extreme activity I’m doing…
9. WHAT’S YOUR WORST FEAR? Going through the aging process really badly. I’d like nothing more to be one of those people who go through their old age without serious problems.
10. WHAT KIND OF HAIR COLOR DO YOU LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SEX? Doesn’t really matter. I’ve been partial to jet black though.
11. WHAT ABOUT EYE COLOR? Any regular color will do. I once met a chick with yellow eyes, I kid you not, and it wasn’t because of any disease or anything, just that the brown was light enough to be yellow.
12. COFFEE OR ENERGY DRINK? Yerba Mate every day.
13. FAVORITE PIZZA TOPPING? Pepperoni.
14. IF YOU COULD EAT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE? A porterhouse T-bone always hits the spot. It’s gotta weigh in over 20 ounces or else it’s too small.

16. HAVE YOU EVER EATEN A GOLDFISH? Hell no. Bigger fish only please.
17. WHAT WAS THE FIRST MEANINGFUL GIFT YOU EVER RECEIVED? I once received the perfect wallet and I used it every day until it fell apart. Never been able to find the same kind of wallet since.

20. WHAT KIND OF CAR DO YOU WANT? I’m going to love owning a Unimog. Notice that I’m sure about that.
21. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING? I guess anything can happen.

33. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Nope.
