Hi! Work has been nutty and life has been boring. I have been keeping my Twitter feed updated with stories that I can tell in 140 characters or less. I have not answered your questions, not that there have been many. I really expected a bigger turnout. Oh well.

What is the true meaning of life?

I see "42" has already been mentioned, so instead I will offer a question back. Who says life has to have a meaning? Philosophically, I am a bit of a downer. I think we are here and then we are gone and that is it. Nothing before it or after it. So while we're here... I dunno. Make the best of it. What your "best" is, that's for you to answer.

What is your most embarrassing CD/DVD?

I probably own over 100 pro wrestling DVDs. That would embarrass most people. If that's not enough, I also have all six Leprechaun movies.

As for CDs, I dunno. There are things that I don't really listen to anymore but I still hold a soft spot for them. I do own the official BodyBreak CD (with Hal Johnson and Joanne MacLeod on the cover!) which I guess would be embarrassing if it wasn't so awesome. I think Josy gave it to me as a joke many years ago.

With CDs, DVDs, or videogames, if I grow to dislike something enough that I become embarrassed of it, I just trade it off.

What is your favorite chip flavour?

Salt and vinegar, followed closely by dill pickle, but I never eat real chips anymore. Even when I'm not following Weight Watchers, I find real chips too greasy. I'm still okay with thick-cut chips (a subcategory in which my favourite flavour would be Old Dutch Rave Salt & Vinegar, followed by Mrs. Vickies Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar) or Doritos (Tandoori Sizzler is easily the best Doritos flavour and I am very sad it has been discontinued).

My favourite baked chips are the Old Dutch creamy dill pickle chips. Not sure what makes them "creamy" but that is a question for the food scientists.

What do you miss the most?

Man, that's an open-ended question. Can you miss something that you wouldn't take back? I miss being free to eat whatever I wanted but I don't miss the after-effects. I miss living in Saskatoon but I am pretty much used to that. I miss having a cat around. I miss Tandoori Sizzler Doritos but that's probably just because of the previous question.

You know what's crazy? These questions weren't here when I started writing this:

If you had to choose, would you rather be a werewolf or a vampire? Vampires have the whole immortality thing going for them, but can't go into the light ever. But werewolves get their freak on at night but can do their shopping as normal people through the day. Drawbacks would include fleas and silver bullets, I suppose... Whatcha think?

Basically, your question is "do I want to screw with my daylight hours or my nighttime hours?"

Immortality is overrated. Sure, you'd have all kinds of time to learn and/or do whatever you wanted, but what if someone sawed off your legs? Do they regenerate if you're a vampire? Or are you an immortal stump? I do not know the vampire rules.

If we assume that werewolves can only be killed by silver bullets, that appeals because you CAN be put to death eventually (like, say, if someone saws off your legs), but it won't likely happen on your first rampage. Plus, I am not a huge meat-eater but I much prefer meat to blood.

What's your least practical aptitude?

I can force a bunch of blood to my head and turn my head red. I don't do it often because I bet it will eventually give me a braineurysm.

And what's your guiltiest pleasure your friends most likely know nothing about?

I enjoy Q-tipping my ears so much that I have drawn blood on multiple occasions.

You've probably already written about this; how did you and Mika meet?

I can't tell all of the top secret secrets that involve people other than me. But I will say that a burlesque show was involved, and I didn't say much to her, and that began about a four-month streak of her thinking that I didn't like her, even though a few weeks later we went for coffee three times in one day and spied on people and elevators.

Done! As a present for you, here's a great story that had me laughing all last weekend.
