A to Z meme. Stolen from Emily and Jet.
accent: I sound like a Californian who grew up with parents who had an upstate New York accent who has lived in Texas for the last half of his life. Most people say I have the pace and inflection of Quentin Tarantino. This, by the way, is not a compliment.
booze: If I choose it’ll be Martinis (gin please) or Manhattans (extra cherries please). But, usually, I’ll drink whatever you’re drinking.
chore I hate: calling people just to make sure they are doing what they told me they would do. I actually got laughed at — laughed at — by someone yesterday for actually scheduling time each day to follow up and check with people that owe me information. I found myself rather confused that she didn’t.
dogs/cats: I have two cats but would love a dog. Really, I love all animals. Except Raccoons. They are evil and they attack in numbers in the middle of the night. I nearly escaped death by Raccoons last August in Canada. Don’t bother asking Jess. She’s one of them.
essential electronics: if I could only pick one thing, it would be just a plain ole telephone. Of course, the full arsenal includes a mobile phone with data and email capabilities, an iPod, and some form of full screen computing device like a laptop or desktop computer.
flower: Texas Indian Paintbrush
gold/silver: I like the look of both in certain circumstances. For instance, if your an African tribesman and happen to have your ears and armpits pierced with 1/2″ thick hoops, silver just looks tacky — go with gold. But, if I’m going to wear it on a regular basis, I think something silver in color looks best. Platinum works for me.
hometown: Give me a few like minded folks and a small harem and I’ll call it home.
insomnia: Yes please. I miss the old days when I could count on any number of people to be around after midnight. Now, I rarely manage to find even one.
job title: Senior Staff Consultant. Kinda funny, huh?
kids: the bun is in the oven. I repeat, the bun is in the oven.
living arrangements: Currently residing in a cozy 3 bedroom on the South Side of the greater Oklahoma City metropolitan area. I reside there with my hot, loving, wife and two insane felines. We’re expecting the first of an army of open-minded, geeky programmer spawn to arrive in December. Harem and Residential applications are always being accepted. Please email your application, a list of credentials, and several photos of yourself to me for consideration. Thank you.
most admired trait: I personally admire my persistence and tenacity mixed with my great analytical skills. I find that these three things are responsible for the majority of my life’s successes. Then again, they seem to be responsible for some of my greatest losses as well. I would say most other people admire my kindness, caring, open mindedness, or a combination there in. A select few admire me for various physical features.
number of sexual partners: My thoughts and philosophy on sex, love, and intimacy are different enough from what I sense from the majority of people that I feel answering this from my interpretation would lead to some miscommunication. So instead I will say that regardless of how I count this number, most of you will consider my answer to be either average or slightly high. I might also add that I consider myself to be very reserved when it comes to who I share these aspects of my life with and am certain that my number is a lot lower than it would have been had I accepted the same type of opportunities that I’ve seen the majority of people accept.
overnight hospital stays: never
phobia: I don’t care for flying or jumping bugs of any variety though bees, wasps, hornets, and cicada are certainly at the top of that list.
quote: “Floor … burning — must find … pork chops” — Jim Reverend
religion: I most often identify myself as NeoPagaTrancenDanielIstic. I’ve learned that, along with political discussion and discussions involving sexuality, religious topics should be reserved for a select few. Pick the word apart if you’d like to know a little more. If you’d like to know a lot more, let’s meet for coffee some time. Your place or mine. Wear something… nice.
siblings: I have one brother, one step brother, one half sister, and about 5 or 10 other people that I am close enough with to consider to be adopted brothers or sisters.
time I usually wake up: somewhere between 4:30 and 6:30am, depending on when I went to bed the night before.
unusual talent: really, I don’t consider any of my talents unusual. If you’d like to examine my full range of skills and let me know which of them are unusual I’ll submit to such scrutiny. Your place or mine. Wear something… nice.
worst habit: I have a tendency to push most open ended questions or situations to an end in the interests of clarity. Most of the time this works out well but, in the past, it has destroyed a few
x-rays: from my eyes, usually. sometimes from my finger tips.
yummy foods: popcorn. peanut m&ms. cherry garcia ice cream.
zodiac: cancer. I don’t know much more than that but I’d be happy to have a full work up. Just say when. Wear something… nice.
