Feedback always welcome -- publicly or privately.
SEX: Yes, though not nearly as often as I'd like.
HOME: I was born in space, and have never lived on a planet.
HEIGHT: Six feet
EYES: Brown
HAIR: Black
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW? I've never watched TV.
WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? A picture of Earth, viewed from orbit. I've had it since I was a kid, although I don't use it anymore.
FAVORITE MAGAZINE: We didn't have access to magazines very often ... and when we did get some, they were always very out of date ... and really had no bearing on our lives, in any case.
FAVORITE SMELL: Coffee.
WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD: Loneliness
BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD: Weightlessness
THINGS TO DO ON THE WEEKENDS: I love to find places where I can test my physical limitations, especially when I'm planet side. Rock climbing has become one of my favorite pastimes. When I don't have the option of leaving the ship, I find that a strenuous workout in the gym works well, too.
FAVORITE SOUNDTRACK: I have this tape that I've had since I was a kid. I have no idea where it came from, or exactly what kind of instrument it is. For all I know, it may be more of a 'vocal' thing than some mechanical instrumentation ... but whatever it is, it's the most remarkable sound I've ever heard. Whenever I feel tense, I play it, and the tension just seems to melt away.
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THOUGHT OF WHEN YOU WOKE UP THIS MORNING? Breakfast
DO YOU GET MOTION SICKNESS? Not at all.
ROLLER COASTERS DEADLY OR EXCITING? They look exciting, but I've never had the opportunity to try one.
PEN OR PENCIL? I remember having pencil and paper to draw with when I was a kid, but the PADD and stylus are far more practical for everyday use.
HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE? One, if at all possible.
FAVORITE FOODS: Anything with chocolate in it.
DO YOU GET ALONG WITH YOUR PARENTS? Yes, very well ... well, at least until I left the Horizon, to join Starfleet. My mother understood why I had to go, but I know my father was expecting me to take over for him on the cargo ship one day.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A CRIME? No ... although there was that time when we were accused of smuggling ... but no, I was not convicted of any crime.
CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA? Chocolate!
CROUTONS OR BACON BITS? Croutons.
DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE? I love to 'drive' the ship, and shuttlepods are even better. The only other type of vehicle I ever drove was the 'truck' we had on the Horizon, that we used to move cargo. I remember the first time my dad let me drive it ... I went too fast, and nearly rolled it over when I tried to stop. Man, was that fun!
DO YOU SLEEP WITH STUFFED ANIMALS? Not anymore ... I still have my teddybear, Rocko, though.
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY KIND OF PET, WHAT WOULD IT BE? A cat ... we always had cats on the Horizon ... I miss Bootsy and Mister Whiskers.
IF YOU COULD BE ANY TYPE OF ANIMAL WHAT WOULD YOU BE? A bird, because I love the freedom of flight.
THUNDERSTORMS, COOL OR SCARY? I have little experience of them.
IF YOU COULD MEET ANYONE DEAD OR ALIVE, WHO WOULD IT BE? Galileo
FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK: My dad used to make this fabulous hooch ... smooth as can be, and it packed quite a wallop. Of course, I was too young to be drinking it, but that didn't stop my brother and me from sneaking into the engine room occasionally, and helping ourselves.
WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN? I don't know ... never could figure out when in Earth dates, I was born.
EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI? Yes, I love broccoli, especially when chef adds a cheese sauce to it.
IF A GIRL ASKED FOR THE SHIRT OFF YOUR BACK, WOULD YOU GIVE IT TO HER? Of course I would.
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Captain of my own ship.
IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I've never thought about it ... I really don't see the purpose in changing hair color.
IF YOU COULD HAVE A TATTOO, WHAT AND WHERE WOULD IT BE? I don't know ... I'd probably want something 'geometric' circling my upper arm, if I was to do something like this.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE? I'm not sure ... I've *thought* I was in love, but it quickly faded. So I'd say, not really ... but there's always tomorrow.
DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM WEDDING: Outdoors, with the mountains as a backdrop. A small gathering of close friends to share our joy.
WHAT IS ON YOUR WALLS IN YOUR ROOM? Pictures of the places I've been in my travels.
IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL? Always half full.
ARE YOU A RIGHTY, LEFTY OR AMBIDEXTROUS? For the most part, ambidextrous ... but that is through years of practice. You never know when you're life might depend on your ability to use your less dominant hand.
DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT KEYS? Probably not.
IF YOU COULD BE ONE GARDENING TOOL, WHAT WOULD YOU BE? I have no idea.
WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED? The floor.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER? 3
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR? Never owned one.
WHAT IS YOUR DREAM CAR? I prefer to dream about space ships ... far more exciting.
FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH: Anything fast-paced and highly competitive. Growing up on a cargo ship, you don't get many opportunities for watching sports, except for the rare times we stayed planet side for an extended period of time. I've seen a few interesting games, but nothing that I would call my 'favorite'.
SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU: Commander Tucker has an interesting sense of humor.
OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU SEND THIS TO, WHO IS LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND TO IT: T'Pol
