[jmm] BONUS: meme about me

1. How are you doing today?: Better than I've been in the last few months, the last few weeks notwithstanding. I wasn't exactly myself anyway. I got some rest last night, if not sleep, I ate like a horse this morning...I feel really good.

2. Any plans?: Stay in with my girl and my kid? Least 'till Boney tries to kick us out. Oh, my Aunt Zeph's coming over later to meet and feed Zee. For the first time since she was born, May's less popular than someone else. Go figure.

3. Who's your best friend?: Besides Sassy? Probably my boy Sal.

4. Who's someone you hate/can't stand to be around?: Right now? Dog and Kate.

5. Got a significant other?: Uh, yeah. You could say that.

6. If so, where did you meet? If not, where do you expect to meet your future SO?: I met Zee online first, and in person? First time we met was after I nearly got killed in a building slated for demolition.

7. Plans for marriage?: Yeah, definitely.

8. How about kids?: Already got one.

9. Pets?: Three: two cats, Hardeen and Kel, and one dog, Prometheus.

10. What do you think of the classic American dream--nuclear family, house in the suburbs, white picket fence?: I think it's a nice dream. Not a close one, but hope springs eternal.

11. Favorite movie: The original Dracula.

12. Favorite book: Tie 'cause I wrote one of 'em...sorta. Stranger in a Strange Land and Houdini on Magic.

13. Favorite comic: Probably X-Men. Especially new stuff, there's some great artists out there.

14. Favorite album: Alice in Chains - DIRT

15. Tell me your favorite anything: My favorite trick. Seriously, the illusion's called "Houdini's Favorite Trick." After covering a fork and letting everyone in the audience feel it's still there, the fork vanishes.

16. Nervous habits: Does blushing count? Not sure, I guess I fidget. Zee says I slouch when I'm uncomfortable, too.

17. Angry habits: Grind my teeth, definitely. My voice also gets soft, more pissed off I am.

18. Bad habits: I have occasional bouts of nail chewing. Not biting, I chew my nails 'till they split and I gotta cut 'em.

19. Annoying habits: Tapping my pencil against the table. I drive everyone nuts at production meetings.

20. Things done out of force of habit: Lately? Checking on May. Calling my mom...picking up my guitar. If I'm thinking, I automatically get out my guitar and just sit, strumming it. I don't actually play, it just relaxes me.

[locked from my mother]

1. I let the cats sleep in May's crib.

2. I let Prometheus sleep on the foot of my bed...when he don't sleep in or by May's crib.

3. I let May watch some TV. I watch it with her, though, and I talk to her.

4. I'm planning a body suspension for my next demonstration.

5. Production problems with the show. No big problems, we're filling in our missing cast and just got a kickass new choreographer, but she'll stress.

6. I went all schizo on everyone's asses for the last couple weeks. I don't think I talked to her, not that I can remember...

7. My buddy, Bee, is honeymooning in Greece. She'll try to call and badger her about what to see.

8. I got stabbed by one of my best friends a few months back.

9. I know about the miscarriage she had when I was eight.

10. The death of her child was my fault.
