A to Z

I got this quiz from Ken Levine, oddly enough!

• A-Available/Single?

Let me hear your offer first! (OK, I'm taken. Yeesh!)

• B-Best Friend?

Probably The Wife. (Crap -- I screwed that up with "probably".)

• C-Cake or Pie?

Either, really. I don't see the point of the cake/pie divide. Carrot cake, apple pie -- how could I choose? Of course, this answer assumes choosing between the two for eating purposes. I'd definitely choose a pie over a cake to take in my face...but then, come to think of it, I've never been hit in the face with a cake, so I don't have a fair comparison to make. Hmmmmm.

• D-Drink Of Choice?

I don't have a drink of choice. I'll drink coffee or tea, Pepsi or Coke, rum or whiskey, wine or beer. I go with what I'm in the mood for. (The vast majority of what I drink, anyway, is good old water!)

• E-Essential Item You Use Everyday?

My 11-in-1 screwdriver. (I have a number of answers for this, actually: my diagonal pliers, my flashlights, my cell phone, and more....)

• F-Favorite Color?

Purple.

• G-Gummy Bears Or Worms?

Ick. Not a fan of the Gummi stuff. I don't like the sensation that my jaw is literally bouncing off the item I'm trying to chew.

• H-Hometown?

Buffalo!!!

• I-Indulgence?

Ice cream.

J-January Or February?

January. I like when the year is new, and the football playoffs are in full swing.

• K-Kids & Their Names?

Haley.

• L-Life Is Incomplete Without?

Love, laughter, et cetera.

• M-Marriage Date?

May 17. (In 1997.)

• N-Number Of Siblings?

One.

• O-Oranges Or Apples?

I love both, I really do! I probably tend more to apples because they're less work and they go great with peanut butter.

• P-Phobias/Fears?

You want to see me flinch like nobody's ever flinched before? Get a rubber band and make like you're going to shoot it at me. Seriously. For some reason, that irrationally scares the shit out of me.

• Q-Favorite Quote?

I can't name a favorite quote, so here's a quote: "The fate of this man or that man was less than a drop, although it was a sparkling one, in the great blue motion of the sunlit sea." (TH White, The Once and Future King)

• R-Reason to Smile?

Any time David Caruso opens his mouth on CSI: Miami.

• S-Season?

Fall.

• T-Tag Three or Four People?

OK, they're tagged. They just don't know it.

• U-Unknown Fact About Me?

My favorite Friend was Chandler Bing.

• V-Vegetable you don't like?

Well, broccoli isn't technically a vegetable; it's pure evil in plant form. That leaves artichoke.

• W-Worst Habit?

Not writing enough.

• X-X-rays You've Had?

Aside from the normal ones, I had x-rays when I broke my collarbone in seventh grade.

• Y-Your Favorite Food?

Pizza. Or wings. Or kung pao chicken. Or a nice salad. Or a taco. Or a big burger. Or...you know.

• Z-Zodiac Sign?

Libra!

Well, that was a time-waster....
