Mood:
Awake

Got this from Jen's page and, since she keeps pestering me to actually post something, I may as well. :)

1. WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND YOUR USERNAME?

Robert? It's a long story. In short... it's my name. :)

2. NAME FIVE [5] OF YOUR FAVORITE FOODS.

Spaghetti and meatballs.
Fondue, from that place on Ventura Blvd.
Dim Sum, from Empress Pavilion.
Shrimp. I love shrimp.
And there's nothing like a good steak.

3. HAVE YOU EVER HAD A MAKEOVER?

Not really. I had long hair once, and a goatee, so I suppose cutting those off is kind of like a makeover, but I never had one in the "let's slather make-up on Robert" way.

4. HAVE YOU EVER WITNESSED DEATH?

Aside from bug-stomping, not as it happened. Been to my share of funerals, though.

5. WHAT'S THE LONGEST TIME YOU'VE STAYED OUT OF THE COUNTRY/WHERE?

It's a tie - spent a week each in London, England and Cochabamba, Bolivia.

6. ONE THING YOU'RE GRATEFUL FOR, TODAY.

My Jen. She rocks.

7. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HIGH SCHOOL MEMORY?

Getting a standing ovation when I got my diploma at commencement.

8. WHAT IS THE MOST INSANE THING YOU'VE DONE FOR/TO YOUR LOVE?

Well, Greyhounding back from Las Vegas isn't exactly sane, especially when you consider what the Greyhound Station in that place is full of on a Saturday Afternoon. A bunch of people leaving Vegas, before the weekend even starts, because they've lost all their money already.

9. DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM WEDDING.

March 8, 2003. The Castaway, in Burbank. Me, and Jen, and a bunch of our friends and family.

10. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING WHEN YOU ARE 60?

Sitting on my porch, with a shotgun and my trusty dog, and chasing the neighborhood kids off my lawn. Yup, that's me.

11. WHAT IS YOUR FIRST MEMORY?

An amusement park in New Jersey, called "Sesame Place." I remember wandering around it, thinking for some reason "You know, 1979 is a really good year." I probably have earlier memories than that, but that's the most vivid one.

12. DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE QUOTE?

Yup. "What could happen?"

13. MY FIRST HEARTBREAK HAPPENED WHEN I WAS...

Probably when my first girlfriend, Melissa, told me she was breaking up with me.

14. HOW MUCH MONEY DOES IT TAKE TO KEEP YOU FOR A YEAR?

Surprisingly little. I can easily get by on my own on 25K a year, provded I find a small apartment like I used to live in, live by myself, and go shopping for food once every three months like I used to (I was either at work, or out with people, or I ordered in... why did I need to shop?).

15. DO YOU HAVE ANY WEIRD PREFERENCES?

Not particularly. I'm prety vanilla on most matters.

16. WHAT IS ONE THING YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SEX?

Why women tell you they want one thing, when they actually want the exact opposite, and get angry when you do what it was they told you they wanted instead of telepathically reading their minds and doing what they /actually/ wanted. Sheesh. C'mon ladies, if you want something, just say it.

17. WHAT PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY DO YOU WANT MOST RIGHT NOW?

A killer robot.

18. NAME ONE TV CHARACTER YOU'D MOST WANT TO BE.

Thy guy who wins on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire." :)

19. FAVORITE GEMSTONE?

I always liked sapphires and emeralds.

20. GIVE YOURSELF A PORN STAR NAME.

Oh, jeez. Ummm... I'm sure Jen can come up with a few hundred for me, but I can't think of any for myself.

21. WHAT'S YOUR WORST FLAW?

I really suck at guilt. Might have been because I was raised Catholic, but I swear, I get frequent flier miles on guilt trips.

22. WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO THIS SUMMER?

Work. Probably in a non-air-conditioned office, too, because it's really damn old.

23. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SONG RIGHT NOW?

"Creep", by Radiohead. Been my favorite for years.

24. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE MOVIES IN THESE CATEGORIES: HUMOR, ROMANCE, DRAMA, ACTION, HORROR?
Humor: Ferris Beuller's Day Off
Romance: Romeo and Juliet
Drama: Memento
Action: The Matrix
Horror: Ummm... never watched horror movies much. Maybe Ginger Snaps.

25. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DISNEY SONG?

"Be Our Guest", from Beauty and the Beast. Kudos to you, Mr. Danby and Mr. Daly, wherever you are.

26. DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM HOUSE.

A condo, overlooking the ocean. I'm talking a big one. Huge. You can play football in it.

27. YOUR TYPICAL SLEEPWEAR:

Boxer shorts.

28. WHAT'S IN YOUR BAG?

My eyeglass case, my ID badge for work, a lucky marble from New York City, my keys, all my credit cards and ID and stuff, and my learner's permit.

29. WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING THING YOU'VE EVER WORN, PIERCED, OR TATTOOED?

Pierced: Nothing. Although I cut my gums really bad on a Dorito once.
Tattood: Nothing.

30. HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR WALLET RIGHT NOW?

I don't have a wallet. If I did, I'd have about $25.

31. WHAT'S YOUR NEXT CHARACTER CONCEPT?

I don't game much anymore. if I did, though, I could probably come up with a few dozen in a couple of minutes.

32. WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF IN YOUR LIFE?

Jen. Both being with her, as well as how she's doing in Law School.

33. HOW WAS YOUR SENIOR PROM?

I didn't go.

34. TELL US ABOUT ANY OF YOUR BIRTHDAYS.

Had one of my parties at McDonald's when I was a kid, and it absolutely POURED outside. That, and my brother got into a fistfight when a kid I went to school at the time.

35. WHAT DO YOU MOST ENJOY ABOUT LOOKING AT OTHER PEOPLE?

How they interact with each other.

Giving a good amount to family and friends.
