Last night... I have a bunch of coloring books - -they are for adults - and very cool -the one I am currently coloring has garden fairies and the paper is kind of transparent so you can see thru on the other side what you are doing and hang it in the window.. I can barely stay in the lines doing that - but it's about my only artisitic endeavor...

What Mal is Coloring


What is your artistic endeavor...

I keep going to Michaels and looking at canvases. I want to paint in the worst way.

Unfortunately, I do.

When was the last time you caught a fish, and ate it?

Year and years and years ago. When it comes to fishing, I'm strictly catch and release. I hate cleaning fish. If I wanna eat fish...well, that's why there's a grocery store.

I just built a time machine. You can go anywhere in time, with a 5 year margin of error. However, the power that it takes to operate it will destroy it, seconds after you are gone, rendering it useless for more than one trip. There will be no return. Do you go forward in time, or backward? When, in time do you go? Why?

I'd probably go to the sixties...I've always loved the music from then, and I've always been fascinated with the culture of the times.

Plus, I'm too used to my modern conveniences like electricity and running water (hot is nice!) to go back too far.

BTW, mal, now I want one of those coloring books.

What one thing would you change about your high school experience, and why?

i would have lightened the gowns by about 30 pounds...

from where was the first animal jettisoned?

a canon..............


what is your favorite colour of other peoples eyes?

I've always had a thing for green eyes, it's unique and one of my favorite colors in general.

What's your favorite letter of the alphabet? :p

Green or hazel.

what is your favorite part of your partners(or crush, booty call or hook up) body?

Long legs or dark wavy hair (preferablly both).

How did you find the Tilted Forum Project?

an online chat friend

hamburgers or hot dogs?

Hamburgers.. cooked rare, with some worcesteshire sauce and blue cheese melted on top...

and since no one answered Ono's question... My favorite letter of the alphabet is the letter Q -- because in high school literature course, I got called to the board to write the letter Q in cursive -because I, apparantly, was the only one who knew how to do it.. .:) (I hate attention, but that was cool)


Are you an attention whore or a wallflower? Why? (and yes, they are extremes, but you have to pick one)

I used to be really introverted, and although I've become more extroverted in the last few years, I still am more of a wallflower. I never really felt like I fit in with people, and to an extent I still don't think I do.


What is the longest distance you have run non-stop?

Probably a couple times around the track in high school... I hate running. I love riding my bicycle though...


What do you do for exercise?

I like kickboxing, but it's hard to get motivated these days.



what's the longest distance you've driven?

13,500k+ We drove from Toronto up to Whitehorse, down to Yellowstone Park, and then Back to Toronto over a 6week period. Did I mention we had our 7month old in the back at the time? Best Road Trip ever. I've also driven a lot while on tour, and I kind of enjoy it. Having good company and regular stopping points is key.

Have you seen anything bizarre this week?

Yes... I just walked into the ladies room, not a solo stall, but it had 4 stalls, and I noticed a pile of neatly folded clothes on the counter near the sink... I washed my hands and as i start to leave, this woman comes out of one of the stalls, bareassed naked... not a freakin' stitch of clothing on... and gets her pile of clothes, says nothing to me, and walks into the handicapped stall, to get dressed I imagine... She was alone in the first stall she came out of - I just honestly wasnt aware that peeing or pooping was a naked activity... call me crazy...

What causes you to lose your patience..

When someone accuses me of something I did not do. That's what pisses me off. I know sometimes it's just a small matter and I shouldn't overreact to it, but then again each and every time it happens I just can't keep my temper. I think it's just me.

What's the thing that makes your day ?

Rarely anything, it'll probably have to be outwitting and outsmarting somebody in my job.

What was the weridest thing you've ever experienced as a child?

It was when I was a Boy Scout... I had an old man follow me around one day while I was working at the Canadian National Exhibition, commenting on how cute I was in my uniform. Very, very creepy pedophile vibe.


Do you own any sex toys? If yes, how many and what are they? If no, why not?

With all the furniture in there and what not, I figured you all sat around naked and had tea or relations or someething. The mysteries of a ladies room..

re: sex toy, just my hand and my spouse. I'm not much for cramming stuff up there or leather.

Do you have a favorite pen?

furinture = 4 toilets, 2 sinks, a paper towel dispenser and a tampon dispenser... where ya gonna serve tea? :lol:

did I just reveal a secret of the sisterhood that i'm not supposed toreveal.. :) THAT'S why girls go to the bathroom in pairs - so they can get nekkid and do whatever... :)

Mal, you continue to surprise me ;)

Yes, I do have a favorite pen, I can't tell you the info about it since it has no supplier information on it. But I can that once in awhile, I tend to steal some of those from supply cabinet and there's only one unlocked cabinet in the entire building that noone is aware of :D

Do you tip? How do you calculate your tip size?

three times tax, loosely.

I wish I were tipping tonight. I don't want to have dinner at home. Where can we go to watch the game?

Uh Oh.. I'm not sure that's good...

Yup I tip... unless service is abysmal, or i will never be back in that restaurant, i generally tip 20 percent on food, and if there's a bottle of wine or so ordered, i will generally tip 10 percent on the cost of the wine... It requires a bit of calcuation ... but I can handle it... in starbucks, since i hate carrying around change -- the change goes into the tip jar ... building management I grudgingly tip at christmas -- just in case i need something done thru out the year...

Do you volunteer your time at all?

Home is the best place to watch the game, its the only place where you can get smashed without having to worry about getting a ride home ;) But if we're really talking about other places, there's a bar in the town where I live called Wildfire, it's not too elaborate compared to those in Calgary but it's quiet and it's got a nice large screen.

I used to volunteer my time with the mustard seed but that was a few years ago when I worked for a computer cable company. I also did some junior varsity basketball managing back in high school but I haven't really done much in the past few years in volunteering because of my busy busy schedule.

What is the range of age of men/women you would date?

18-28. If I did anything with someone older than that, I don't think it would be called "dating". :) Too much of a difference in life situation for me. For the record, I'm 22.

What made your favorite teacher your favorite?

He was the odd one. Other teachers would stick to the lesson plan, be monogrameous and never had fun with their students but this particular one, he makes the learning experience a bit more fun. In fact, one thing I remember particularly about him in that area was when he showed us how to memorize the names of the prime ministers in order, he made up a story for us to remember that started out as going to mcdonalds for lunch. He also would let us debate him on the correctness of his teaching materials.

What kind of watch do you wear?

I have slender wrists and it's difficult for me to find a watch that fits, so I've never worn one.

Have you ever flown in a hot air balloon. If not, would you like to?

Nooooooooooo! Afraid of heights. Almost pass out. I think I did once as a kid with my parents. Not sure if it's a memory or a nightmare.

Ever ridden in a hydrofoil?

Nope. I think I'll put that on my "Things to do before I die" list.

Why do hot dogs come in packs of 10 and hot dog buns in packs of 8?

Because it's a great conspiracy enacted to get people to spend more money than they should... I personally thing that Bush is behind it -- or maybe Cheney and his pals at Halliburton -- Oh wait - it's the entire Republican party doing it because after all -- we know they are evil money grubbers.... :lol: Actually, I think it's one more place where there's a lack of communication... The Hot dog maker and the bun maker used to be married - maybe they still are... and well.. they don't talk much anymore- because they could't come to a happy medium of say packages of 9....

Have I Totally Lost my mind?

I don't know, that is one of the mysteries of life.


do you like fondue?

love fondue, both cheese and chocolate.

What is the dirtiest (sexual) position, in your opinion. Why?

In the deep south in a bed in a seedy massage parlor with a Georgia hooker named Vidalia. Not that I would do that sort of thing....

So, are you hittin' it?

at least four days a week, keepin' it long and straight...


where have all the flowers gone?

hitting my head against the desk yes...


When you hear the word ugly, what does that mean to you...

gone to young girls everyone, when will they ever learn?

Pit bulls

painting: Watercolours or oils?

I like to see both, if the watercolor is really done right and not some pastel mood crap. And I think pit bulls are cute, if they haven't been turned mean.

<-rescued pit bull, cops involved, threats from neighbor who was fighting them... yeah I lived in the rural south.

How many languages can you read?

I can read English, Java, SQL, C#, HTML, XML, BASIC, SPARC, little bit of american sign language, probably other languages I've left out

Are you digital or analog?

A little bit from column a and a little bit from column b... though I spend a lot of time being digital.


Have you ever made a movie?
