The Fascinating AML

I don't feel like talking about work right now, and I'm not feeling particularly philosophical. So, I'm going to take a cue from Tense Teacher and do a weekend meme. I have done a meme one other time, and I bitched about doing it. So before you start yelling "hypocrite!" I'll point out the difference. The first one I did was passed on to me as a sort of blog-tag. I viewed it along the lines of a forced e-mail forward, and I'm not a big fan of that concept. This time I'm doing it of my own initiation. I have willingly stolen the questions from Tense's blog. Likewise, I will not pass it along to anyone, but offer whoever wants it to feel free. OK, enough pre-text, let's get started because I know you are dieing to find out some inane details about me.

Do you snore?
RR claims I do, although she has a penchant for exaggeration. She can fall asleep in a matter of moments. If ever it takes her longer than 5 minutes and she can hear me breathing, she says I'm snoring. If I have a head cold I know I do though.

Are you a lover or a fighter?
I guess I would say I'm more of a lover, or maybe a rationalizer. I can pretty much talk my way out of anything. But if it comes to the point that fighting is my only option, I'm willing to do what it takes.

What's your worst fear?
"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our greatest fear is that we are powerfull beyond belief." --Nelson Mandela
I could give you an entire disertation on how significant I think this quote is... buuut I bet I won't.

As a kid, were you a Lego maniac?
Well, maniac might be a bit strong, but I loved any toy that I could create something with my hands. Legos, Linken-logs, erector sets, I even had one kit that came with a motor and a bunch of pieces to build electronic stuff. I was one of those goofy kids that would take crap apart to see how it went together. Legos would piss me off sometimes though as one section would always fall apart as you tried to apply a different section.

What do you think of reality TV?
Generally, I'm not a big fan. Although, I do like Survivor as I get into the strategy and mind games.

No, I think this is more of a nervous thing, and I'm generally pretty relaxed.

Were you a cute baby?
Yes, but I don't know what happened since.

Is the single life for you?
I am someone who is comfortable being just with me, and I meet and get along with new people pretty easily; so being single never really bothered me. However, I am more happy sharing my life with someone else, so I prefer my life the way it is.

What color is your keyboard?
Black, but I don't know why we have to get all racial.

Do you sing in the shower?
If the mood strikes me I've been known to belt out some songs. I've even taken a few requests, but mainly just to quiet down.

Have you ever bungee jumped?
Technically no, but there is a thing at the local amusement park that is similar. It straps you (and up to two other people) into a harness, pulls you 150 feet into the air, and drops you. Instead of the snap and bounce at the end of a bungee jump, you swing back up the other side. Therefore, after the initial pissing of your pants, you then feel like you are flying until they reel you back in. Since I worked at the park when I was younger, I've done this more times than I can count.

Any secret talents?
Yes, but if I told you it wouldn't be a secret.
