Fifty Things (stolen from fiddlersgreen
Oct. 16th, 2003 08:49 pm1. Your name spelled backwards: elbillug taht toN
2. Where were your parents born? My dad, in Greece. My mom, I'm not sure exactly, somewhere in Canada though.
3. What is the last thing you downloaded onto your computer? No idea. Probably a picture of some sort or maybe some PDF.
4. What's your favorite restaurant? Mandarin, I guess.
5. Last time you swam in a pool? Three or four years ago. Not sure. It's been a while. Too long, really.
6. Have you ever been in a school play? Not an official 'school play', (I was scheduled in one but 'got sick' at the last minute... and I was supposed to play a french fry), though I have been in drama sketches and such, some even before other classes.
7. How many kids do you want? Don't know, really not expecting to have any so want is irrelevant.
8. Type of music you dislike most? Rap, generally, or anything that has one or two sentences repeated ad nauseum.
9. Are you registered to vote? Yep.
10. Do you have cable? Yep.
11. Have you ever ridden on a moped? Nope.
12. Ever prank call anybody? Yep, when very young.
13. Ever get a parking ticket? Nope, don't drive.
14. Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving? Sure, would love to go skydiving.
16. Do you have a garden? Nope (what happened to 15?)
17. What's your favorite comic strip? Don't read 'em regularly.
18. Do you really know all the words to your national anthem? Most of the first verse, not 100% sure of the order, and I don't know the bilingual version.
19. Bath or Shower, morning or night? Showers, almost always. if I have time in the morning, I do it then, before I go out, but if I've got a really early day, I take it at night right before bed. Also, in summer, almost exclusively night, hot showers to help me sleep.
20. Best movie you've seen in the past month? I think I've only seen two full movies in the past month, both on TV, so I'll go with 'Frequency'.
21. Favorite pizza topping? If I had to have _one_ topping, Pepperoni. But I'm not a one-topping guy. One of my favorite pizzas is the carnivore special: pepperoni, bacon, grond beef, italian sausage, with bbq sauce instead of tomato sauce. Too often is no good, but for a rare treat its nice.
22. Chips or popcorn? Chips, definately and absolutely chips. I could go on for paragraphs about chips. But I won't.

38. Ever throw up in public? probably, don't remember any specific instance though.
39. Would you prefer being a millionaire or find true love? I'm almost cynical enough to say that if I was a millionaire true love would follow automatically. But I'm not that cynical yet, so I'll say true love.
