First, my disclaimer is that most of these questions are from one of those email questionaires that circulate; you know, the ones that you get a hundred times but fill out anyway then send on. Come on, admit it.

Q: Which card in a standard deck of cards describes you best?
A: The Jack of Hearts.

Q: What are you listening to right now?
A: Aerosmith, Cryin'.

Q: How many pets do you have?
A: Currently a cat (Neon, who is also one of my best friends), twoRussian dwarf hamsters (Myshka & Eskarina), and two fish (Fishy-Fish and Fish, cause if I give them real names they die).

Q: What book are you reading now?
A: George R.R. Martin, A Song for Lya.

Q: What is on your mouse pad?
A: Terry Pratchett's Death on Binky (With many thanks to the guy who got it for me!)

Q: What is your ideal car?
A: 1969 Chevelle-- Dark red, black racing stripes, and leather interior. Can't beat good old American muscle cars.

Q: What's the first thing you think in the morning?
A: Damn, not another day.

Q: What's your zodiac sign?
A: Scorpio, and I'm a damn good one, too.

Q: If you could have any job, what would it be?
A: Author. If all these crappy novelists can make it, why can't I?

Q: Is the glass half empty or half full?
A: Not only half empty, but it has bullet holes in it and is draining fast.

Q: If you could live in any time period, when would it be?
A: The Middle Ages-- in Camelot. But only if I get to be a knight.

Q: If you had a theme song, what would it be?
A: Lynyrd Skynyrd's Free Bird, or Tears for Fears' Shout.

Q: What is your favorite CD?
A: Aerosmith's "Nine Lives" or "Just Push Play"... or U2's "All That You Can't Leave Behind"

Q: What fictional character do you identify with most?
A: Arthur Dent, from Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide series. He's in a completely foreign environment which he does not understand, surrounded by people who make absolutely no sense whatsoever, with no basis on which to ground decisions, and there is a pronounced difficulty in getting a decent cup of tea. Or Pratchett's Rincewind; I completely understand the feeling that bad things are bound to happen, and I know what it's like to deal with people from the likes of Twoflower to the head of the Assassin's Guild. Or… Pippin from Lord of the Rings. He's not entirely sure what's going on, but he gets pulled into trouble… and he rarely manages to do anything right... and it seemed like a good idea at the time...

Q: What is the scariest thing you've ever done?
A: Leave everything I knew behind to go to college 350 miles from my home and my cat.

Q: If you could change one thing about your body, what would it be?
A: I would want wings. Not cheesy wings, but really cool angel wings. I wouldn't necessarily want to be able to fly or anything (I'm not THAT weird ;-) but black, mother-of-pearl wings.

Q: What is on your computer desktop wallpaper?
A: One I made myself, U2.

Q: What are the first and last concerts you went to?
A: Rolling Stones, Bridges to Babylon, and Aerosmith, Just Push Play.

Q: What TV shows did you watch as a child?
A: Knight Rider, The A Team, Dukes of Hazzard, M*A*S*H.

Q: How are you most self-disciplined?
A: Never pick up something that looks perfectly comfortable on the floor, never do today what you can put off until tomorrow, the dirty dishes can wait, and dust can be ignored.

Q: Do you sleep with a stuffed animal?
A: Four stuffed tigers: Zeus, Eliot, Castor, and Pollux, and a penguin.

Q: Do you know how shrunken heads are shrunk?
A: Yes.

Q: If you could chose, who or what would you be reincarnated as?
A: Probably a cat; as long as I could be a spoiled one like mine.

Q: Tarot cards: real or not?
A: I think they're real in the sense that the interpretation might get you to think about some things in your life differently than you might have thought before. Sometimes a new point of view is a valuable thing.

Q: Do you smoke or drink?
A: Nope.

Q: What is on your favorite coffee mug?
A: Harry Potter, or my new Scorpio one.

Q: What is the best piece of advice you've ever received?
A: To do what you know you have to, and to not be afraid of it-- from my parents. Not to get so focused on the future as to miss the present---Peter. And, to not be afraid of being happy--- thanks Peter.

Q: What is the most important thing in life?
A: Family, friends I can trust, and love.

Q: Ever been in love?
A: Am now.
