a survey meme

[cellio]

I generally only do the memes that tell people something about me or that can spark discussion. I got this one from indigodove. I've removed questions for which I knew my answers would be boring or pointless.

What food could you eat everyday for two weeks and not get sick of? Sushi. Mmm, sushi... (I'd like to stipulate that the ginger comes with.) :-)

What are your pizza toppings of choice? Garlic, onion, broccoli, spinach, extra cheese -- not all on the same pizza, though now that I mention it, that sounds good. :-) Also, seasonings -- pizza doesn't just have to be bland red sauce and bland cheese. I enjoy a good white pizza in part because they season it. Pass the oregano.

What is your wallpaper on your computer? I don't use wallpaper; I don't want it to be any harder to see the icons and text than it needs to be.

How many televisions are in your house? One.

Are you right-handed or left-handed? Yes. :-) (Different tendencies for different tasks.)

Have you ever had anything removed from your body? I haven't heard from the tonsils since I was nine.

If it were possible, would you want to know the day you were going to die? Certainly not.

If you could change your name, what would you change it to? I can change my name and I haven't. I've had this one for a while; we've grown attached.

What color do you think looks best on you? For all that I have pretty good color sense for walls, furnishings, art, and other people, I'm really not sure. I think I look good in darker reds (like maroon) and browns.

Would you never blog again for $50,000? Heavens no. Come back with at least three more zeroes on that price (before the decimal point) and a readiness to haggle over precise definitions of terms like "blog" and we'll talk. :-)

Would you pose naked in a magazine for $250,000? Not even if I could choose the pose and deploy my hair strategically.

Would you, without fear of punishment, take a human life for $1,000,000? This question conflates two notions. Would I ever willingly take a life? Under the right self-defense or defense-of-the-weak circumstances, it's possible. (I hope never to have to find out.) As a paid contract? The idea is abhorrant to me.

Could you live with roommates? Well, I do have a spouse. :-) Living with other people requires some up-front agreements on the most important things, willingness to adapt on the rest, and -- in my opinion this is cruicial -- private space for each person. Private doesn't mean hidden or with a door closed, necessarily; there just needs to be some space that each person can do whatever he wants in without complaints from everyone else (so long as he prevents unwanted emissions -- noise, odors, clutter, whatever). If all that is in place, I don't assume that "exactly one" is the only number of roommates that can work, though things can get weird when a couple shares space with others.

Last time you had a run-in with the cops? I do not believe I have ever had a run-in with the police, though I've had some with their telemarketers. (Non-anonymous fundraising for public services like police and fire feels slightly coercive to me. I don't really think the response time would vary based on donor status, but I can't completely shake the notion, and... ugh.)

First place you went this morning? After showering and dressing, donwstairs to feed and medicate cats.

What is the last movie you saw? Golden Compass, unless Babylon 5 Lost Tales counts. (I think of it as a TV episode, not a movie, but it went straight to DVD and isn't a neat and tidy length, so shrug.)

Do you smile often? I'm told I do.

Do you prefer a diamond ring or diamond earrings? Neither, thanks. I don't wear earrings at all, and if I wore anything on my hands that juts out, I'd just snag or bang it on things. And if we're doing stones, I'd much rather have something with rich color (emerald, sapphire, ruby, etc, or knock-offs of same).

Hey, if they offer and you turn it down, tell 'em that I'll take that gig ;)

No one who's seen me is offering. :-)
