Since you insist you want to know about "ALL OF [US]", I'm answering your questions here, but I don't like perpetuating these in my own journals :-)

1) Are you currently in a serious relationship? Yes, 2, but it also depends on how you define "serious". My mother, for instance, wouldn't call either of them "serious", but I would.

2) What was your dream growing up? Heh, which one? I wanted to be a vet and work with endangered species, and I wanted to be a theatre tech.

3) What talent do you wish you had? I wish I was a more natural singer and dancer - I'm OK at both, but I have to work at it to be just OK

4) If I bought you a drink what would it be? Soda, probably, since they don't sell my IZZEs at restaurants or bars.

5) Favorite vegetable? Carrots

6) What was the last book you read? The Good Omen

7) What zodiac sign are you? Capricorn

8) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where. 5 ear piercings - 3 in my left ear and 2 in my right - both lobes.

9) Worst Habit? Biting my nails, over-analyzing stuff, rambling when I'm sleepy or answering jokes as if they were serious - pick one

10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride? Sure, why not?

11) What is your favorite sport? Dance

12) Do you have a Negative or Optimistic attitude? Cynical

13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? Uh, talk, probably

14) Worst thing to ever happen to you? I can't really think of any - all the bad stuff was a learning opportunity. Probably the waste of 2 years on my 2nd fiance - but thanks to that I learned about polyamory.

15) Tell me one weird fact about you. Uh ... I dunno, everything about me is wierd, so I think of it all as "normal"

16) Do you have any pets? 2 cats

17) What if i showed up at your house unexpectedly? I'd hug you and invite you in - but be totally shocked to find you 3,000 miles away from home with no notice

18) What was your first impression of me? (hmmm...careful!) I'd already had corpsefairy's intro of you - I thought you were pretty cool

19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary? Neither

20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? I'd like to be one cup size bigger and to lose the Roman bump on the top of my nose

21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience? Depends on the situation

22) What color eyes do you have? Thin ring of green on the outside, thick band of blue-grey inside and spikey band of yellow-brown in the inside that makes them a wierd hazel color that shifts colors randomly

23) Ever been arrested? Yep, twice.

24) Bottle or can soda? Carbonated fruit juice in cans - bottles break in my backpack

25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it? Pay off all my debt and buy a car

27) What's your favorite place to hang at? Depends on my mood.

28) Do you believe in ghosts? Nope

29) Favorite thing to do in your spare time? Read, play online, dance, hang out with loved ones

30) Do you swear a lot? Like a sailor!

31) Biggest pet peeve? Stupidity and religious-based public policy

32) In one word, how would you describe yourself? Me!

33) Do you believe/appreciate romance? Not in the traditional sense

34) What is your current favorite song? I don't have a favorite

35) Do you believe in God? Nope

36) Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you? You're welcome to send your response to me, but I don't post these things in my journal.

32) In one word, how would you describe yourself? Me!

That may be the best answer to that I've seen.

[joreth]

I never know how to answer those kinds of questions. I mean, I have an whole website and a LiveJournal (a subset of which is entirely devoted to a Me Manual) and at least 2 online personals profiles. What on earth makes anyone think I could effectively describe me in just one word? Even OKC's 3-word option leaves out a whole range of "me" :-D

[joreth]

Ah, yes, an addendum to "what would you do with money" - I'd also finally get Lasik and get rid of these damned glasses.

Also, for "talent" - I'd like to be better at languages, in particular, Spanish and ASL, but if I had a natural affinity for languages, I'd probably learn more too.

And I have to second leora's answer for 31. I tend to lump that in with "stupidity", and even sometimes religion-based public policy, but it really does deserve its own special mention.

[summer-jackel.livejournal.com]

Fascinating and thoughtful answers, as I'd have expected from you. Thank you, and I appreciate them.

Re the pet peeves...yeah. Gotta agree with you on those. Those are good ones. :P

re #1, I am of the opinion that only you get to define whether your relationships are serious or not. Me, I'm dealing with the conundrum in my own life of defining what a "serious" relationship is, whether mine qualify (well, Kestrel and Lucy do, certainly, but, uh, my poly life now extends rather unexpectedly beyond them...) and whether the issue even matters.

[joreth]

I tend to answer questions the way *I* define the terms, but that tends to throw off the results when the people making the questions don't take my variations into account, so I just clarify automatically now :-D

Setting myself up as a "poly activist" and openly discussing polyamory with anyone and everyone who asks questions means I have to answer things that don't have really good answers, like "is it 'serious'?" and "how can it be primary when you don't live together?" and such. I empathize with your redefining process - I'm going through a couple of redefining processes myself. Good luck!

[leora.livejournal.com]

Ah, I like your answer too. But I was trying for something I encounter that peeves me, rather than frightens or infuriates me. Sometimes I see people denying the truth in ways that merely peeves me. I don't have clear pet peeves anymore that come to mind easily. I used to, but that was a long time ago, and I'm fairly sure he is dead now, given that he'd be well beyond a normal cat's life by now.
