After my wife and I had been dating for a few months, and while she was home for the summer, I travelled to Ireland for 2 weeks with a youth group. (I was around 20 years old). When I was there, I bought her an expensive hand-made wool sweater. I knew, even when I was holding it in the shop, that this was a serious present and signified real commitment to our relationship. I held onto it for 5 months, and gave it to her for her Birthday. She calls it her "all over hug" sweater and I believe it carries the same value for her as her wedding ring.

When you were younger, did you ever tease or bully a kid really badly?

2 years ago, when I decided to stop pretending I was pursuing acting, and decided to find something useful to do. (become a PA).


OH crapola.

I was teased for being a weirdo, but I never picked on anyone else. It didn't occur to me.

Repeating my question, as it was ignored (and Mal, I answered you!!):

Perky or pendulous?

Perky... definately perky.

Have you ever walked out of a movie in disgust?

Would you pet the tiger if you had the chance?

Poppinjay

yes, and i don't even remember the name of it. I'll google after this post. The amazing thing, it was PG, I saw it with a fellow 16 year old, and it had a full frontal nude shot. It was some god awful sci-fi POS, and as we walked out, I said it was so bad even the censors apparently didn't sit through it.

Edit: Darn, too slow. Yes, I would pet the tiger, as long as he/'she would not eat me and would appreciate the petting. the fact that my cat dearly loves me, but tries to eat my hqand every day tells me that would not be so.

What's your favorite ethnic food?

YES! 2 of them actually:

1) Jaws 3D - people were booing it. This was at the Imperial 6 on Yonge at Dundas

2) Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure: I complained about the small screen at the theatre, and the smell/stickiness of the floor. I wanted a discount, the usher guy said: " You're not from around here are you?" (referring to my lack of knowledge the Cineplex experience). Au contraire, I said, I live within walking distance, and demanded a refund. I ended up driving up to Fairview Mall cinemas to watch it at the same price, but in comfort.

Other: black hair

For fantasy's sake, I prefer dark colours - black to dark brown. However I've always found youngish women with naturally grey/silver hair quite stunning.

How's 2006 shaping up so far for you?

Edit: The rudest thing I've ever done was spit in the face of a relative. I was very young, don't remember it, but am very ashamed.

How's 2006 shaping up so far for you?

Have you ever not pursued a relationship with someone you liked because your friends thought they weren't good enough?

No, and I actually lost a friend for about 5 years because of it. I still dated the guy, she didn't approve, we had a huge fight. It was bad, but it's better now. The guy really wasn't good enough for me.

What is one thing you would change in your life if you could visit the past?

I've seen it on my clock before, but other than that, I have no idea what 11:14 is. I do like seeing it on my clock though.

I would make my body incredibly fit (so fit I wouldn't have to maintain it) then I would change my incredible ability for procrastination into an incredible ability to succeed with little effort.

How did your parents make you who you are (and not in the physical way).

Sultana

His name was Ray, I was in 5th grade, I think. He was a great guy, his dad sold jewelry. He gave me a pair of earrings, and when my mom saw them, she made me give them back and stop *seeing* him (what the point of that was I don't know, it's not like we dated or saw each other outside school anyways). I told her I'd have to keep my eyes closed in class to avoid seeing him, and I got in trouble (again) for being a smart-mouth.

Some things never change, it seems.

Favorite type of PJ's for gals? (This is admittedly a self-serving question, I'm going to a pajama party, reg. party but everyone's wearing pjs, and I gotta figure out what to wear. Don't want to wear my reg. pjs, and don't want to wear lingerie to the party.)

Your house catches on fire. You have 2 minutes, to get your most prized possesion(s), and get the hell out. What do you grab? No time to stop to think about it. You've got to get moving. NOW! What is it? What did you grab?

Good question! Assuming you mean material posessions, my camera, my wallet and my clothes... lol. My hockey equipment is in the shed, so I'll assume that doesn't count.

Who is the one person of the same sex as you that you'd consider having sex with?

What object do you cherish the most?

The object that I cherish the most. As materialistic as I seem to be, there is really not an object that I cherish. However, if my place was on fire and I could grab only one thing...I would grab my pictures because you can't recreate images captured in the past.

What is your favorite television show ever?
