1. What I want, though I'm not always upfront about what it is, owing to my uncertainty as to whether I deserve it, and also whether admitting wanting it will or won't endanger the likelihood of me getting it.
2. I really don't care. I think I did when I was younger, but these days, I just assume people will think what they like, and it won't affect my life one way or another. My success and happiness are not predicated on whether lots of people like me or not.
3. I generally prefer playing characters that aren't entirely unlike me, but are different enough that I don't feel like it's too close but not correct.

1. I think people are allowed to speak their minds, whether they are the greatest living expert on Julius and Ethel Rosenberg or just someone with Google and Wikipedia at their side. I think it's only really important to have your facts straight when you profess to be telling the 100% unvarnished truth, and anyone who entertains that conceit gets what they deserve.
2. Write about whatever you like. Words are free and ideas want to be shared. Communication is pretty much the only thing we have that can make us better and more responsible human beings. Only through hearing others' points of views can we grow and learn acceptance.
3. Mainly to entertain Squinky, but occasionally, just to throw you nice people a curve ball with my amazing simulation of brutal self-analysis and frankness. And to slip in little comments about masturbation, of course.

1. Back masking is an amusing subject, but in truth, I've never actually believed in it. That said, I seem to remember a Bloom County gag that referenced a comedic example from some fairly innocuous example like Barry Manilow or Juice Newton, because Berke Breathed liked funny names and weird paradoxes.
2. Yes, though I usually figure it out before anyone sees. Still, i think there was one incident when I was a child, but the details are hazy.
3. Not that I know of. Did I miss something?
