1. What's your personal clothing style...trendy or classic?
Um, neither.

2. Do you shop for designer names or stick with the more generic brands?
Whatever's cheaper and fits.

3. Work clothes: dressy or casual?
Casual.

4. Days off style: dressy or casual?
Casual.

5. Women: high heels or flats? Men: Wing-tips or work boots?
Flats - there's a reason your feet hurt in heels.

6. Do you have a large wardrobe, or just a few carefully selected pieces?
Just a few pieces that I wear until they wear out.

7. Do you shop for clothing at stores or from catalogs/internet?
Since I want to try it on first, stores.

8. Are most of your clothes dry-clean only or machine-washable?
Machine-washable. I refuse to buy anything that has to be dry-cleaned.

9. You buy an article of clothing and realize it is all wrong for you when you get home. Return or keep it?
Return it.

10. Hats: yes or no?
No.

1. What is your lineage? Where are your ancestors from?
I know I've got German roots. I know I've got some kind of American Indian blood in me, but I'm not sure of the tribe. Other than that, I have no clue. Someday when I'm rich and have some free time (LOL), I want to trace my roots.

2. Of those countries, which would you most like to visit?
I really would like to visit Germany someday. Especially since Marucs was a German citizen when I met him (he's now a naturalized U.S. citizen). I know he wants to return to the homeland to visit.

3. Which would you least like to visit? Why?
N/A

4. Do you do anything during the year to celebrate or recognize your heritage?
Can't say that I do. I don't really identify with them. I'm an American, plain and simple, therefore I celebrate that.

5. Who were the first ancestors to move to your present country (parents, grandparents, etc)?
I have absolutely no idea. Like I said, someday I'll check it out.

1. Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton?
No preference

2. Laurel & Hardy or Abbott & Costello?
Laurel & Hardy

3. Marx Brothers or Three Stooges?
Marx Brothers. I absolutely DO NOT think the Three Stooges are funny.

4. David Letterman or Jay Leno?
David Letterman

5. "Saturday Night Live" or "Mad TV"?
The old SNL. I don't like the newer ones - they're not really that funny.

6. Adam Sandler ("Mr. Deeds") or Mike Myers ("Austin Powers")?
Both

7. Jerry Seinfeld or Ray Romano ("Everybody Loves Raymond")?
Jerry Seinfeld, although Ray Romano is starting to grow on me.

8. George Carlin or Bill Cosby?
Bill Cosby, although Carlin has his moments.

9. "Monty Python's Flying Circus" or "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In"?
I like them both - two totally different kinds of comedy.

10. Gone but not forgotten...John Belushi or Chris Farley?
John Belushi. Chris Farley was not funny and I thought he was a disgusting, fat slob.

1. How long have you had a weblog?
A little over a year. June 14, 2001 was my first post.

2. What was your first post about?
It was about people cheating at school and people being more worried about a grade than learning the material.

3. How many changes (name, location, etc.) of your weblog have there been, if more than one?
The name has stayed the same (it's soooo original, don't you think?), but it has moved once. It used to reside on freeservers, but now it's on my own domain on Marcus' friend's webserver.

4. What CMS (content management system) do you use?
Movable Type. It's pretty decent. There are some things I wish I could make it do (it probably does, I just haven't had time to figure it all out yet), but it works for now. It's definitely better than Blogger, the one I used first.

5. Do you read people who have both a journal and a weblog? Or do you prefer to read people who have all of their writing in one central place?
What exactly is the difference between a journal and a weblog? I'm so confused...
I just read the stuff I like.

1. Where were you born?
Denver, Colorado (Presbyterian Hospital)

2. If you still live there, where would you rather move to?
Honestly, I don't want to live anywhere else as far as the region goes. I'd love to move onto some acreage Northwest of the Denver Metro area, though. The area between Broomfield and Loveland is really nice.

3. Where in the world do you feel the safest?
Here, at home.

4. Do you feel you are well-traveled?
No. I used to be back in the day of band tours, but since I got out of college, I've been to Texas and Tennessee and that's about it. *sigh*

5. Where is the most interesting place you've been?
Hawaii, I think. It was beautiful, a different culture, yet still a part of the United States. I'd really love to go back there, except that I'd have to go alone (or with someone besides Marcus since he won't fly).
