70 Confessions

1. The phone rings. Who do you want it to be?
I'm not a fan of answering the phone, so I'll say anyone but a telemarketer.

2. When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart?
Yes, although in my case I'm probably at Target.

3. If you had to kiss the last person you kissed, would you?
I believe she's married these days, so I'm going to say no.

4. Do you take compliments well?
I by “well” you mean “embarrassed” or “warily”, then yes, I do.

5. Do you like Sudoku?
I tried it once, realized a 98 average in high school math means nothing anymore, and gave up.

6. If abandoned alone in the wilderness, would you survive?
It depends on whether or not I had a cell phone with me and actually answered it, so I'm going to go with “no” on this one.

7. Do you like tongue rings?
No, they strike me as potentially very, very dangerous and painful.

8. Did you ever go to camp as a kid?
I went to a day camp for a week one Summer. It was on the playground of a school less than a mile from my house, and my mom picked me up every day around noon, so it barely fits the definition of camp.

9. What was your favorite game as a kid?
It's a tie between Star Wars: Return of the Jedi—Battle at Sarlacc's Pit and The New Fantastic Four Game(Featuring Herbie the Robot) with the FF winning by a narrow margin of variety.

10. If a sexy person was pursuing you, but you knew he/she was married what would you do?
Is it my ex-girlfriend? Is that why I had to kiss her in #3? It doesn't really matter who it is, married or spoken for I follow a strict and honorable no coveting policy.

11. How many kids do you want to have and what are their names?
I want at least one, and no more than two. A son would be named after me of course, and a daughter's name would be completely up to my wife, because she was so cool about naming a kid “Myclofig”.

12. Could you ever date someone w/ different religious beliefs?
I never have. I suppose I'd compromise as far as other sects of Christianity if push came to shove, but I don't think I'd be compatible with someone whose beliefs were radically different from my own.

13. Do you like to pursue or be pursued?
I'm lazy and self-conscious, so being pursued saves both work and risk.

14. Use three words to describe yourself.
Mysterious. Cloaked. Figure.

15. Do any songs make you cry?
No song has ever made me cry on its own. There was a time in my life when certain songs that reminded me of my ex-girlfriend put me in a somber mood, but I'm over that. A song has to combine with some emotionally impactful memory or scene in a movie to hit me.

16. Are you continuing your education?
I never went back for my Masters degree. In a general sense, I believe that as long as we remain naturally curious, inquisitive and open to learning new things, life itself can be an education.

17. Do you know how to shoot a gun?
I know how in theory, but not in practice. I've never fired anything stronger than a paintball.

18. If your house was on fire, what would be the first thing you grab?
I'd get the cats out, then my computer, and then my comics, and then my books....you know, this one is starting to hit close to home.

19. Who were the last 3 people you shared a bed with?
If I was sharing a bed with 3 people, would I really be sitting at a computer right now?

At 25 of 70? Not bloody likely.

I've never been able to grow my hair long, because at a certain length the tips start curling which is annoying and beyond my control. I keep it short and straight.
