The 44.

44 questions I found at Sean's.:

1. Were you named after anyone?
My father, and technically his father, although my grandfather's first name is the Italian version and lacks one letter.

2. When was the last time you cried?
Every couple of a years, a film will catch me off guard and leave me a wreck, disgusted at my own blubbering. When I finally saw The Color Purple about a month or so ago, that did it. Before that it was Big Fish, and before that Saving Private Ryan. Most recently, there were moments I definitely wasn't expecting in both Barnyard and Stranger Than Fiction that caused a little lump in my throat, but neither were intense enough that I couldn't hold my composure.

3. Why are you so fickle when it comes to women?
I blame comic books, soap operas, and movies. I also have an odd masochistic streak in which I'm only attracted to the 87% of women that I perceive to be out of my league, and I'm usually too shy to think of anything to say to them.

4. What is your favorite lunch meat?
Pepperoni.

5. Do you have kids?
Oh, I hope not...

6. If you were another person would you be friends with you?
Absolutely. In fact, if I were another person I think I'd like me better than I do now. I'd be more forgiving of my idiosyncrasies, the way I am of others.

7. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Could I be more sarcastic? I think a lot of it is lost in the written word though, so I might not come across that way in my writing.

8. Do you still have your tonsils?
Yes, I do.

9. Would you bungee jump?
No, I would not.

10. What is your favorite cereal?
Wheaties ranks high if I have to pick just one. Kix, Cheerios, and Corn Chex would be runners-up. I rarely have a sweet cereal, but the greatest of those and a rare treat for me is Honeycomb.

11. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
No, and my mother constantly asks me why I don't just wear loafers instead of sneakers.

12. Do you think you are strong?
I think I'm strong, but I don't think I'm strong enough.

13. What is your favorite ice cream?
Cookies and Cream.

14. What is the first thing you notice about people?
Their face and voice.

15. Red or pink?
Red.

16. What is your least favorite thing about yourself?
My paralyzing lack of self-confidence.

17. Who do you miss the most?
Alive: My ex-girlfriend. Deceased: My music teacher and my Aunt.

18. What color pants and shoes are you wearing?
Black pants and bare feet.

19. What was the last thing you ate?
Ziti and turkey meatballs.

20. What are you listening to right now?
The increasingly loud hum of my computer's fan and the sound of my cat curled up on a quilt purring.

21. If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
Navy blue.

22. Favorite smells?
Bakeries, Ice Cream stores, pizzerias, vanilla perfume, and the salt air of the ocean.

23. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?
My boss, although B13 may have actually called me after that. I can't remember for sure, so I'll go with the latter, which is a less depressing response.

24. Hair color?
About 9-10 years ago I got into an argument with a coworker who maintained that only Asian people had truly black hair, and what I considered black was really just a dark brown. I do get the occasionally brown hair in my eye brow or facial hair when I wear a goatee, and I have a single gray hair that keeps popping up, but for the most part I will continue to maintain that I have black hair.

25. Eye color?
Brown.

26. Do you wear contacts?
No. (There was no #26 on Sean's, and I found an nearly identical set lacking a #26 but adding a #45. In the end I found a few other similar sets that had this as a natural follow up to the eye question).

27. Why aren't you married?
Wait, did my mom write these questions?

28. Favorite food?
Pizza or steak.

29. Scary movies or happy endings?
Happy endings(Alllll right!)

30. Last movie you watched?
Stranger Than Fiction.

31. What did you dream about last night?
I'm not sure, but probably lunch or super powers.

32. What book are you reading?
The Dark Tower. Maybe I'll finally finish it this weekend; I think I only have 100 pages or so to go.

33. Summer or Winter?
Spring. But I'll take staying warm in the Winter over sweating in the Summer any day.

34. Hugs or kisses?
Kisses, please.

35. Favorite dessert?
Cookies and Cream.

36. Do you have any special talents?
Yes, I'm very special.

37. What are they?
The only thing I'm really good at with little to no effort is playing the Baritone Horn. I have to work really hard at everything else, from running to designing to drawing, so those can't really be considered natural talents, or special since there are a lot of people who are better in those areas. I do pick up computer programs pretty quickly, and I can curl my tongue, so I really don't know the answer to #27.

38. What color shirt are you wearing?
Black/Dark Brown and Caucasian.

39. When are you going to start preparing for your move back home?
A better question would be, “When am I going to move OUT?”

40. What did you watch on TV last?
Lost.

41. What is your favorite sound?
The original transformation sound from the 1984 Transformers cartoon, and suddenly #27 isn't such a mystery.

42. Rolling Stones or The Beatles?
Pearl Jam, but that's not an option so The Beatles.

43. What is the farthest you have been from home?
North: Boston, Massachusetts South: Winston-Salem North Carolina. East: Montauk Point. West: Pennsylvania. I think South is the farthest.

44. Most likely to respond to this meme?
B13 will comment, and may tackle it. Either Lorna or Darrell might try it or at least comment. It may elicit a joke from at least one of the Geekfriends™. Some will feel unworthy, but one shall rise from our ranks to light our darkest hour. A cheerleader will be saved, but the world will still be in peril. Cats will live with dogs, causing mass hysteria. On the 13th day, of the 13th month, parents will gather at an elementary school to discuss misprinted calendars. And I will make four consecutive pop culture references without any links.

Little did I know how accurate or inaccurate my predictions would prove to be....
