I live in the scary part of town. Since I've lived here, there's been a shooting and a stabbing. The part of twon that does scare me is this one stretch of road in the nice part of town. It's full of trees that block out the sky, no street lights, and 50mph traffic with no sidewalk. So I walked home.
If you could organize a flash mob, what would you have them do?

This is not the answer anybody would be interested to hear, but no. There was a woman I met just AFTER the nick of time (when she was about to be married), totally my kind of girl - slightly hippy musicologist type of geek girl. I worked for her for about three months and then we went to a lot of the same conferences through the years. I would always catch her staring at me, when I of course was staring at her.
A friend of mine met her once when I wasn't there. Apparently they talked. When he saw me next, he said without any mention of her from me, "you two should stay away from each other. You'd get into trouble." This has been going on for 15 years. We haven't even lived near each other for the past 10. The last time I saw her, she was pregnant and *still* catching glances at me. When I of course was catching glances at her. Just a month before I left to move up here, we hired one of her former co-workers. She told me *X* kept asking about me. We're no we're no longer in the same industry and I have no reason to visit her town anymore. So I guess that non-fling is over. I was never tempted. In fact, I liked hanging out with her because I got the benefits of her coolness with the safety of knowing that realistically, uh-uh. Even if I was stupid enough to be fool around, I knew that she was smart enough not to. But no. Why, have you?

I regret ignoring that freshman girl when I was a senior in high school. I regret letting myself down during my freshman year of college. I regret going to this college. Not much other than that, despite all the trouble I got into when I was younger.
Have you ever played spin the bottle? If so, tell us about it.

The cool kids during middle school didn't let me play while a game was going on in the backroom of our class. So I ratted them out.
As a kid, did you have an allowance or did you have to do chores for you money?

Both. I got a small allowance and could earn a little extra by doing extra chores that I normally wasn't assigned.

Yep. I was in kindergarten. It was devious, and completely successful. Nowadays I don't ever fart in public so it doesn't come up.

I had a very vivid and realistic nightmare a couple months ago that scared the shit out of me. I woke up in a panic, sweating and full of adrenaline. It wasn't a pleasant experience. I wasn't scared for long, but I *was* genuinely frightened for a minute or so.
D'oh, too slow...I daydream about all sorts of things, but usually only at work. Anything to keep my mind occupied. Today I was thinking about what I'd do if I had won that big lottery a couple of days ago What is the longest stretch of time that you have been awake?
