Harrumph. I've been tagged by a certain someone. Oh, he'll get his, don't you worry! So, I suppose I need to fill this out... and welcome to my first journal entry. Heh.

I'm not familiar with the DA code, etc, so you're probably not going to see people's avatars and other such stuff in my message here... perhaps I need to browse the "DA FAQS for idiots" page or something. Anyway...

Do you like animals?

Yep, I'm an animal loving person. (And get your heads out of the gutter, you pervs.) I've had pets my entire life; right now I am owned by a feisty miniature rat terrier. Well... I'm pretty sure she's a mini rat terrier... she's a rescue, so I'm not 100% sure. Can't imagine life without a dog at this point in my life. And yes, I'm Animal Planet's bitch.

Have you ever met an online friend in person?

Yes I have, on a few occasions, and fortunately they've all been excellent experiences.

Are you athletic?

Well..... we're working on that. I've begun a regular exercise routine lately; I was getting a bit puffier than I would like.

Are you: thin, fat, athletically built, etc?

Well, not in Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man territory, but like I said, a little puffier than I'd like. I'd say "average" to "husky."

Girls - are you tomboyish, girly, normal, etc?

***Fetish question alert!***

boys - what kinda of person are you?

Well, I'm not exactly a boy anymore, either. I'd like to think I'm a good person... compassionate, friendly, outgoing and funny. I prefer to be called "quirky" these days rather than "goddamned odd." I'm obsessed with Tiki, I love lousy B-Movies, and I'm addicted to french fries.

How old are you?

36. Which makes me, as near as I can tell, the oldest person on DA.

When is your birthday?

May the 6th. Same as Sigmund Freud. You figure it out.

Do you like to receive gift fan art?

Does a baby go goo? Hell yes, I love it... however, I haven't exactly done enough work to receive "fan" work with a good conscience. Besides, what would they base their work off of? My three or four sloppy pencil drawings?

Do you have many friends?

On DA? A few... I think. In real life, yes, but like Cor, I believe in quality over quantity. I have a small group of very good friends that I see on a regular basis.

What's your race?

Pac-Man.

Do you like to talk on the phone?

Not really.

Are you single or taken?

Taken, and I'm still trying to figure out how that happened.

Do you eat meat?

Oh, yes indeedy.

Are you paranoid?

Not to the point of incapacitation, but I do worry a hell of a lot. I'm a bit of a political junkie, and when I look at the daily activities of the criminals and maniacs that are running this country, I get twitchy. Let's put it this way; if I were single, I'd be moving to the far end of this mudball.

Do you read a lot?

Tons. I'm addicted to the printed word. Always working on three books at once. Did I mention I have a short attention span?

Do you listen to music, what kind?

Really, my musical tastes are really eclectic, I couldn't say any particular kind. Bands and artists I like: DEVO, Martin Denny, The Real Tuesday Weld, David Byrne, Brave Combo, Danny Elfman, Ennio Morricone, Tiny Tim (shut up, don't laugh!), The B-52's, Man... or Astro Man?, Robert Drasnin, Esquivel, Dexter Gordon, Carl Henry Brueggen, Louis Jordan, etc, etc...


Do you play any instruments?

Saxophone and "keyboards." I also can play a bit of a tune on the accordion. (Shut up!)

How long have you been drawing?

My entire life, although I pretty much stopped during my college years. Yep, all that time, and no talent to show for it.

What's the meaning of life?

Gah... I could write a novel. And I probably still wouldn't get it right. Still, I think we'd be much better off as a species if people

1. Followed the Platinum Rule: "Treat others the way they want to be treated."

2. Thought about the welfare of *others* every once in a while.

3. Minded their own business.

But that could just be the crabbiness talking. Still, I think if we became more compassionate, life would get a lot better. Or perhaps I'm just an optimist.

I'd love to tag four friends... well, no I wouldn't. I prefer to make these things voluntary, so if anyone actually reads this and wants to play, please feel free.
