1. More of a cat person, really.
2. I have them, though mine aren't terribly pronounced.
3. I'm pretty open minded about music. I don't think there's a particular genre I'd like to see gone; just a certain level (or rather lack) of quality to the writing.

  3. What will you never ever be open-minded about?
1. I have my days.
2. I am almost finished playing the Strong Bad games, despite my initial feeling that they were pretty goofy looking.
3. Beets, lima beans, and Milli Vanilli.

1. Angry? Not sure that's the right word, but I've gotten pretty fed up with certain people I deal with on a daily basis.
2. Something unusual I saw today while riding home on the bus, which I will not go into detail about, because it might not be considered polite, given the nature of the subject.
3. Not regularly, but I have taken to writing the occasional journal entry in the back of my latest writing notebook, whilst at work.

1. I am, quite honestly, lousy with flowers. I know a few names, but I have no particular preferences. Yes, this is a serious problem at my age. Most of the women I know enjoy receiving flowers, and I have no capacity for giving them.
2. A nice, long conversation with a close friend of mine, I think.
3. Lately, I don't really feel happy at all. sorry.

3. Would we get along well with our descendents?
1. A million years from now, if we're not dust, we'll have cross-bred into so many sub-species that we won't even be recognizable as a single species.
2. I don't think I'm interested in contributing to our future gene pool, at least at this time, so my input isn't really valid.
3. I suspect not. We'll have a lot to answer for, after giving the world Will Farrell.

3. If you could have one luxury gadget/item right away that you wouldn't be able to afford or simply wouldn't spend the money on normally what would it be?
1. I already am ruled by round balls of flesh AND killer robots, so really, what's the difference?
2. I would have said hello to the young lady who came to apply/audition for my job at work.
3. Cintiq tablet.

1) What would you say to someone you find attractive, who is trying to apply for your job?
2) What would you say to your employer about their accepting applications to replace you?
3) Which would you rather do: a) keep working at a job you've come to hate, and that is making you into a complete and utter basketcase, knowing that the money you're making still isn't really enough to solve your financial problems, but also knowing that being employed is about the only thing keeping your wife happy with you at the moment?
or b) stay home and write novels whilst collecting disability insurance (which you are fully entitled to), which you know won't give you enough to afford everything you and your wife have come to require on a monthly basis, but knowing at least that your expenses will come down when you're not buying bus passes and the occasional fast food lunch or dinner because you were too tired to prepare something at home?

(And yes, I am aware that choice c) is use whatever spare time I have to find a new job. Great idea. Too bad I can't seem to find any. Time, that is. Except for right now. Right now, I have time. but I'm about to install a video card that may or may not make my system go 'boink', so we'll see what happens after that.)
