Meme

I've never actually posted a meme before, but I'm feeling whimsical and thought I'd give it a try, even though this blog's readership probably numbers less than four at the moment. But what the hey, it's all in good fun, right?

I'm also afraid that my continual lack of updates have made this blog stale, so expect a slight revamp/change of focus soon.

High school. I would imagine it was French class

3. Take a stab at my middle name:
I have NO idea. Michael? wild guess there.

I think so. If only because it's a new experience.

7. Your first impression of me upon meeting me/seeing me:
First time i saw you, I didn't really think about it. you were one of those kids I didn't talk to. Once we got talking though, it dawned on me that maybe there WERE some smart kids in your graduating class.

in a wry, witty way, yeah.

9. My favorite type of music:
I gotta go with Oldies on this one.

10. Can I sing?
Never heard you try.

11. The best feature about me:

See the world, learn new things, write a book.

13. What is one thing that you think I should do?
See my previous answer.

14. Do I have any special talents? If so, what are they?
Clever, intelligent discourse is a talent, right? It seemed to make Oscar Wilde's career for him... I'm going to count it.

This is a stupid question. I don't believe you can be pigeonholed that easily.

Honestly? I don't know.

17. My favorite food:
hmmm... I don't know. Sushi? i really have no idea.

That'd be weird. no.

You don't seem like the nickname type.

10/10/2001

22. Do I believe in God?
Part of em wants to say yes, but the other part says to rely on logic too much to have blind faith in something like that. I don't know, but I'm definitely curious to find out.

23. Who is my best friend?
No real idea. wild stab, Mike.

24. What is my favorite book?
Something Happened, by Joseph Heller

25. Will you repost this so I can fill this out for you? I don't have a blog, but feel free to post it in a facebook message, if you want. I'd be interested to hear what you have to say.
