fatrockstar1. In terms of historical events, I am old enough to remember...
the presidential campaign of Jimmy Carter; The bicentennial hoopla; The Iran hostage crisis
2. I admit to being prejudiced against people who...
don’t even try – settling for mediocrity because it’s too much of a pain to work for something is pathetic. You can give me a reason, but it will still sound like an excuse.
3. You might be surprised to hear that I really like...
trees. Whenever I feel like I’m about to lose my composure I look outside at all the greenery and tell myself “I like trees,” and my anxiety is lessened.
4. You might also be surprised to hear that I DON'T really like...
fandom. Fandom has ruined more fun things for me than I care to admit.
5. If given the choice between having more closet space and having a larger garage, I would choose...
neither – I’d rather have new carpet. But if I must choose, I’d say more closet space. No reason.
6. If given the choice between having a washer/dryer in my home, or two separate bathrooms - whether or not I already have either or both - I would choose...
two separate bathrooms. I’ve lived both ways, and it’s much easier to get my clothes washed elsewhere than it is to share a single bathroom.
7. One of the best years of my life was...
2000. This was the year I turned 30 and met Garret. He was an inspiration back then. I was twitterpated.
8. One of the worst years of my life was...
2007. 2008 is an improvement in comparison.
9. A song that reminds me of my current (or most recent) romantic partner is...
anything by The Tea Party or Depeche Mode. 90’s angsty progressive rock/dance does it, although I’m sure he’d probably rather be described by a VAC or Infected Mushroom song – those don’t say “Garret” to me at all.
10. My biggest wish for my current (or most recent) romantic partner, other than the usual "to be happy," is...
to get therapy.
11. One of the strangest things I own is...
a cat. Rather, he owns me.
12. One of the most flattering things you could ever say to me is...
“You don’t look a day over 32!”
13. Something that makes me not a typical liberal is...
um… soap?
14. Back in high school, my worst grades were in...
Phys Ed and Home Ec.
15. And my best grades were in...
English and Math
16. Out of all the Best Picture Oscar Winners in history, the ones I've seen which I personally think are great films are...
It Happened One Night, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Terms of Endearment, Rain Man, The Silence of the Lambs, Forrest Gump, American Beauty, and maybe (maybe) Chicago.
17. While we're looking at that list, the most recent Best Picture Oscar Winner that I have not seen is...
not actually an Oscar winner. I’ve seen all the movies on the list I wanted to see.
18. I'm terrible at...
first-person shooters.
19. I'm rather good at...
getting worked up over things I can’t change. I’m working on that. Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean it’s a good thing to excel in.
20. The summer blockbuster I'm most excited about seeing is...
The Dark Knight? I’m actually more excited about seeing something on video since it doesn’t cost me an arm and a leg to do that. I love superhero movies. I want all of them to come out at the same time so I can have a superhero movie festival at my house.
