WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW? Today's TV is full of boring stuff that calls itself entertainment, but I wouldn't waste my time on it ... I prefer old movies. All the old classic horror movies ... now *those* were entertainin'.
WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? Man, I haven't seen one of those for a few years. When I was a kid, I seemed to go through them like crazy ... I was forever spilling drinks on them when I was playing games ... you know, the excitement of the moment <smiles> ... as for the picture on it, I seem to recall always wanting ones with pictures from space.
FAVORITE MAGAZINE: Well, between you and me, I'd have to say it was this skin mag called "Buff Boyz" that I used to pick up when I was a kid ... it was one of those mags that, outwardly, called itself a 'body building magazine', but you know as well as I do that *that* was far from the reality of the situation. But hell, at least it kept my father from figuring out the truth <smiles>
FAVORITE SMELL: Pecan pie, when it's just come out of the oven.
WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD: Being punched in the gut ... or treated like a piece of crap, which usually felt about the same to me.
BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD: Being in love.
THINGS TO DO ON THE WEEKENDS: If I had the chance, I'd love to be able to spend my weekends in bed, making love. As it is, I take advantage of every opportunity I get ... weekends, mid-week, day or night.
FAVORITE SOUNDTRACK: The sounds of the great outdoors! There's nothing quite like the sounds of nature, when you're camping in the woods.
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THOUGHT OF WHEN YOU WOKE UP THIS MORNING? That I have a shitload of work to do still if I'm going to get the engines back online when the Cap'n wants them.
DO YOU GET MOTION SICKNESS? Hell, no.
ROLLER COASTERS DEADLY OR EXCITING? Excitin' ... especially the corkscrew kind.
PEN OR PENCIL? Pencil ... I know that most engineering work is done by computer these days, but there's somethin' about the feel of a pencil, as it slides over the paper, that makes me think I'm really creatin' somethin'.
HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE? 2 or 3 ... unless I'm busy. I've been known to be completely oblivious to the thing when I'm engrossed in my work.
FAVORITE FOODS: Pan-fried catfish ... and pecan pie for dessert.
DO YOU GET ALONG WITH YOUR PARENTS? Most of the time.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A CRIME? Ummm ... no <smiles>
CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA? Vanilla ... at least when it comes to ice cream. It goes great with the pecan pie.
CROUTONS OR BACON BITS? Bacon bits ... unless the croutons are garlic ones.
DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE? Hell, yes! The faster the better <smiles>
DO YOU SLEEP WITH STUFFED ANIMALS? I think my lover would have a problem with that now, don't you? <smiles> But seriously, I outgrew the need to sleep with a teddy bear when I was about 6 or 7 ... except when there was a thunderstorm.
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY KIND OF PET, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I've always been kinda partial to dogs, myself.
IF YOU COULD BE ANY TYPE OF ANIMAL WHAT WOULD YOU BE? A hawk, so that I could soar upon the wind.
THUNDERSTORMS, COOL OR SCARY? Scary ... at least when I was a kid, alone in my bed at night.
IF YOU COULD MEET ANYONE DEAD OR ALIVE, WHO WOULD IT BE? Zefram Cochrane ... I'd love to talk engine design with him.
FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK: Margarita's ... although lately, the only thing I've had to drink has been beer (we will *not* discuss the bourbon Malcolm and I shared in the shuttlepod)
WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN? I haven't a clue.
EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI? Nope, just the florets.
IF A GIRL ASKED FOR THE SHIRT OFF YOUR BACK, WOULD YOU GIVE IT TO HER? Now that all depends on why she needs it, and what I'd get in return <smiles>
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Well, I'm very happy with the one I have ... but if, for some reason, I couldn't be an engineer aboard a starship, I'd want to be someplace where I could be *designing* starships.
IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Something radical ... green, or purple or something ... I mean, if you're going to change your hair color, you might as well change it to something unique <smiles>
IF YOU COULD HAVE A TATTOO, WHAT AND WHERE WOULD IT BE? I've never wanted one, so I've never thought about it.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE? Sure have ... and am <smiles>
DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM WEDDING: Well, now ... my dream wedding would be a simple affair. I'd love to find a nice, romantic setting, on a planet out here ... a meadow, or possibly a beach. A simple ceremony, where we would share our feelings for each other, as our friends witnessed ... sharing our love, openly with our friends, is all the celebration I need.
WHAT IS ON YOUR WALLS IN YOUR ROOM? A few pictures from home.
IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL? Half full.
ARE YOU A RIGHTY, LEFTY OR AMBIDEXTROUS? Righty.
DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT KEYS? Not at all.
IF YOU COULD BE ONE GARDENING TOOL, WHAT WOULD YOU BE? Boy, is this an odd question, or what? <laughs and smiles> Let me think ... OK, how about a rototiller ... after all, I'm always stirring things up <smiles>
WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED? Dust? <chuckle> Actually, that's not true, since the ship keeps itself pretty clean.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER? 69 <smiles>
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR? <chuckle> some shitbox my cousin and I put together from bits and pieces we picked up in the junkyard. We were forever replacing this or that ... but man, did we have fun!
WHAT IS YOUR DREAM CAR? The NX01-ENTERPRISE ... after all, once you've 'driven' a warp-5 spaceship, there's no going back to driving a simple car <smiles>
FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH: Football, although since we've been in space, about the only thing I get to see is water polo, which I've been findin' kinda interestin' <smiles>
SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU: Whether he wants to admit it or not, he's the sexiest person on this ship.
OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU SEND THIS TO, WHO IS LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND TO IT: Well, I'd say T'Pol, but I see she's already responded to this questionnaire.
