3. Which do you prefer- goofy poetry or serious poetry?

1. Some. I'm not a big poetry fan, but I dabble now and then.
2. Because well-written poetry has a certain flexibility of expression that is hard to find anywhere else in human endeavour. That said, I prefer song lyrics.
3. Serious.

3. Why have you/haven't you done that?

1. Because no one writes as many lesbians and bisexuals in genre fiction as I do. No, just kidding. the reason I am important is that I have the access codes to all of the nukes, and I'm not afraid to use them. I can't be bribed, but boy howdy can I be seduced.
2. Practice procreation. A lot.
3. Well, I'm out of practice, but that's just the state of my current relationship. *sigh*

2. If you had been made more constantly happy as a child, how would you be different today?
3. Imagine that a perfect clone of you were raised in an entirely different environment, by totally different people. What character traits would you definitely share with that person?

1. If you're doing it right, your child should be happy while growing to be a good person.
2. I'd probably have bigger entitlement issues than I do now. Mind you, I'd probably be less insecure, and thus more accomplished.
3. A love of creativity and curvy women, I'm sure.

2. Did/do you enjoy being a student? If so, what made it enjoyable? If not, what could have made it enjoyable for you?
3. What, in your opinion, is the most effective way of disciplining a child?

1. *chuckles* Well, assuming we figure it out in time, I suppose we'd have to sit down and have the whole nine heads discussion. Then I guess we'd get sterilized and move to the country to live in sin. *looks around to see how many people shy away* Just kidding. Honestly, I'm sure that it wouldn't get that far. I've lived with the fear of dating my own sister for decades, based on my philandering father's wandering ways.

Still, you know what they say in the back country...
2. I didn't enjoy every facet of being a student, but it had its good points. I liked the concentrated focus on being creative. I liked the room to experiment. Real life doesn't afford me too many opportunities to just play and try out new ideas.

Oh yeah, and the girls...
3. Know what rules you plan on enforcing, and stick to the rules from start to finish. Children lose respect for parents who can't stick to their guns. If you're going to be flexible, do so infrequently, and as a reward for good behaviour.

2. What sort of situation would you lie or deceive others for?
3. What rule (self-imposed or otherwise) would you never break under any circumstance?

1. Okay, I'm imagining her. Now what?
2. When the truth simply can't make the situation better, I'll keep it to myself. I rarely actually lie. Omit, yes. Outright prevaricate, no.
3. I'll never abandon someone I love.

3. Do you ever feel like you're still a kid trapped in an adult's body?

1. Hmmn. This sounds familiar. If Dawn wanted out, I'd rather she left than spared my feelings. That said, I don't think that's what we're talking about here, are we?
2. Neither. The only thing that would hurt would be if they told me they no longer love me.
3. Every. Damn. Day.

3. Let's say there are ten people who ask you to get in contact with them, each by their own preferred internet service. Which one would you be most likely to get back to?

1. Daily. Sometimes several times a a day, when I'm doing work with/for someone out of town.
2. I blog once or twice a day on average. I also update my status on Facebook two or three times a day on average, except Saturday nights, when I post Youtube video links for about two to three hours straight.
3. Deirdra or Jenn. Everyone else could wait.
