I should just say forget it, but fine, I’ll do this meme to answer some questions about myself.

1. Do you like animals?
Yes, I do. Mostly cats, but I have no problem with any domesticated animal that isn’t vicious (Sharpeis, for instance). I also like to watch deer and turkeys, regular sights where I live right now.

2. Have you ever met an online friend in person?
Well, once. He was driving by and asked for anybody along his path to tell him so he could stop and chat for an hour or two as a break from driving. I’m not the sort who’d usually drive for hours just to meet an online friend face to face.

3. Are you athletic?
Ha. I say no, but some people disagree. Let’s just leave it that I do go jogging on occasion, and don’t see how going multiple miles at a time is athletic.

4. Are you: thin, fat, athletically built etc:
Average. Oh, I have a bit of a gut from sitting at my computer too much, but it’s nothing you can see if I don’t take my shirt off.

5. How much do you weigh?
Roughly 165.

6. What's your height?
A little under six feet tall.

7. Shoe size?
10.5, which means anywhere from 9 to 11.5 depending on the shoe brand. What’s the point of all this regulation if they can’t stick to it?

8. Girls- are you tomboyish, girly, normal, etc?
NA

9. Guys- Are you girly, or guyish?
If I had to describe myself in one word, it’d be androgynous. Nobody would ever mistake me for a girl, but you don’t see ‘guyish’ muscles on a runner.

10. How old are you?
Do I have to say it? 27, then.

11. When's your birthday?
August. Late August.

12. Do you like to receive giftart?
I don’t rule it out, but gift art tends to be a tad awkward when you have no established and described persona.

13. Are you sociable?
No. I’m a lot better at pretending I am online, but I’m still very must of a social hermit.

14. Do you have many friends?
Nope. Barring online, I don’t have any. See last question.

15. What's your race?
I’m a quarter Italian, about a sixteenth German and the rest is anybody’s guess.

16. Do you like to talk on the phone?
Not in the least.

17. Are you single or taken?
Single. I’ve never even been on a date.

18. Do you eat meat?
Yes. I’m not one of those people who’re militantly against vegetarians, but a meatless meal doesn’t fill me up.

19. Are you paranoid?
No. They’re really all out to get me. It’s true, I tell you! (No, I’m not paranoid.)

20. Do you read a lot?
I practically never go a day without reading at least a few pages of a book.

21. Do you listen to music, what kind?
Yes. Mostly the stuff from the 80s, plus any well done game music. And Weird Al.

22. Do you play any instruments?
I’m tone deaf. That would just be torture for anybody around me.

23. How long have you been drawing?
Who said I draw? My stick figures look like they have arthritis.

24. What’s the meaning of life?
In my opinion, the really important thing in life is to make a difference to others; a change for the better. Not everybody has great potential to do so; sometimes the best you can do is lend a sympathetic ear and give a few words to help somebody through difficult times. If so, so be it. Going through life improving only your own lot isn’t going to mean anything when that life finally ends.

25. Now tag four of your friends! They MUST take this quiz and post it in their journal!
No. Anybody who wants to do it can, but I refuse to tell them they ‘must’ do something.
