1) What's your favorite cheese?
Currently a tossup between cheddar, colby, and muenster.
2) Have you ever had a subscription to a magazine (or magazines)? Which?
Yep. Got regular issues of LEGO Mania! until a few months before I graduated high school, when they suddenly decided I no longer deserved them. They were pretty fun back in the day, and then when LEGO started degrading itself with all the Spiderman and Harry Potter crap, they somehow managed to snag a thing with DC to run a comic interpretation of their Bionicle line, which I thought was absolutely badass.
Kopaka forever.
3) What was your favorite place to go on vacation as a kid?
THE BEACH
4) Was there ever a movie you watched that gave you nightmares?
Closest one would have to be Event Horizon. Everybody and their grandma knows this by now, but I watched it accidentally late at night at my grandmother's house, and couldn't sleep for two or three hours after it ended.
5) A lifetime supply of pie or cake?
No thanks.
6) What one book would you recommend to your friends? Why?
You are a jerk.
Ah, frig, I can't decide between The Phantom Tollbooth (Norton Juster) or The Jungle Book (Rudyard Kipling). Both are fantastic pieces of literature and should be read by everyone. But, since I have to decide....
Harriet the Spy, Louise Fitzhugh. Clever little romp. Everyone should meet Ole Golly.
7) What did you want to be when you were growing up?
My father.
8) Go out and party or stay in and relax?
As much as I love to kick back, given the chance I'd rather be out with people than sitting by myself at home. Much more humor to be had that way.
9) What's your favorite band? Favorite album of theirs?
The Stan Kenton Orchestra, This Is An Orchestra (it contains the phenomenal chart "Of Space And Time").
10) Which three famous historical figures do you most admire?
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, for teaching me to think; John Ronald Reul Tolkien, for introducing me to proper fantasy; and Thomas Aquinas, for daring to say that there are questions science can answer that theology cannot, questions theology can answer that science cannot, that both are invaluable to the human race, and that neither are inherently evil.
I may never understand everything. I may never understand anything. But I sure as hell will never stop trying. 6*9=42.
11) Cats or dogs?
A healthy balance of both.
