Hmm, more questions to answer from the Monday Mission.

I’m still not sure how I feel about these question/answer types of entries, but some weird new content is better than no new content.

At any rate, I liked these questions.

1. When was the last time your computer crashed? What happened?
That would probably be the NTLDR incident, which wasn’t a crash exactly. It was a message that made it look like a serious crash, but was just Win2k’s way of telling me ‘non-system disk’.

2. Recommend a movie (new or old) for us to watch.
I’m going to avoid suggesting movies that people are going to see anyway (Panic Room, for example), and mention one’s that my intellectual readership (shut up! don’t make me break character) might avoid.
Old: Hudson Hawk.
New: Sorority Boys (surprisingly funny)

3. When was the last time someone told you that you were attractive (and you actually believed them)?
Well, last week, but I think they were talking about my clothing more than me.

4. Do you like to sleep in or wake up with the chickens?
Sleep in. In the last few years it’s been harder and harder to sleep in without grave repercussions, mostly in the neck region — bottom line: I’d like to laze about, but if I stay in bed for more than about 8 hours, max, I’ll be in pain most of that day.

5. Are you gay, straight or bi? Ever been tempted to go the other way?
I’m a very comfortable straight. I’ve been propositioned by guys before and thought nothing of it (I handled it very well for a midwestern farm boy, I think), and I’ve actually had problems with people getting confused about my orientation because I don’t overreact when propositioned. Apparently, REALLY straight men are supposed to cross themselves repeatedly and bathe in holy water when a guy asks them to dinner.

6. What will be the next computer-related purchase you will make?
I hope it’s a PDA. It might be a new case and motherboard, with most of the rest of the stuff left the same, but I hope to get a PDA.

7. What is your role when you are in relationships? A giver, a taker, or is it an equal balance?
I think I adjust to match whatever level of touch/affection is the norm for my partner, but although I may do that, I will get grumpy if I’m not getting enough smoochies.
