nawezireck asked the following:

What do you do for a living? I am currently trying to get disability because of a host of health problems; however, I used to be a Feudal serf toiling away in the Music Business. I worked there for almost 20 years, doing quality inspections of product before its release to the public and coordinating promotions for various artists over the course of my career. I still have ties to some of the people from those days, but only the cool ones. Most music business people (the business folk, not the artists) are dinks.

How old are you? I'm 41, but not for much longer. Just the other day, though, I got carded trying to purchase a pack of cigarettes for my uncle. I think it's the Vampiric influence.

Do you have any piercings or tattoos? My ears are pierced and I have a red and black Triskele tattooed on my right hand.

Favourite food and beverage? I love Mexican food, but Indian food is a very close second. And Middle Eastern cuisine. Shawarma makes me very happy. Favourite alcoholic beverage is a mixed drink called the Screaming Orgasm. Non-alcoholic is the gloriously indulgent Cheerwine.

Do you wear socks to bed? Do you wear anything to bed? During the two days of Winter the Armpit of Hell gets, I wear my entire wardrobe to bed because I'm cold-natured. The rest of the time, I try to be as skyclad as possible, because it's frakking hot here.

How often do you read? Every day. I usually have 3 or 4 books going at one time in addition to reading a variety of things on Teh Intarwebs, and the movie guide in the bathroom.

Do you go to concerts Not anymore. If it costs money, I tend not to do it at the mo. But when I was working for BMG, I often got gratuity tickets to a variety of concerts, Dave Matthews in particular. And Weird Al, who serenaded me once (ha!). Oh, and I won a contest to attend the taping of VH-1 Storytellers, featuring ELO/Jeff Lynne back in 2001. That was pretty much a dream come true.

miintikwa asked:

How's the feral cat populace doing? I'm down to only males and my tame spayed females, so it's leveled out to 9. The tame ones ~ Smidgen, Shmoop, Motley, Steve, Simon, Garfunkel, and Norvus. Only 2 ferals remain ~ Spectre and Barney. Barney is slowly coming around, but Spectre is irredeemably wild. They're all doing fabulously and routinely bring me 'Burnt Offerings.'

lonita asked:

What things do you do that you don't like to share with people but still share anyhow? I mean activities, like watching movies, etc. I'm a hardliner when it comes to writing about everything, no matter how painful or embarrassing. When you diary is read as a kid, it kind of changes your opinion on what's private. So I choose to hide in public instead. If it's all out there, then I can't be embarrassed by it later, or my political rival can dig it up and say "AHA! See what this freak has been up to? Vote for me instead!" Because everything I've been up to is already a matter of public record. Does that make sense? If it does, will you explain it to me?

What activities would you secretly prefer to do alone, but which you invariably end up doing with others? I actually prefer to go to the movies alone. That way, nobody is bothering me with talking or poking at me or whatnot. And music. I prefer to listen to music alone, but often find myself listening to it with other people. I want to focus completely on my movies and music and it's been my experience that most everyone around me don't respect these media like I do and find it acceptable to make their own noise while I'm trying to pay attention. It fairly pisses me off.

Got anything else for me? The questions don't have to be about me. You can ask anything; for instance, "what have I got in my pocketses?" I'll answer any ole thing. Just ask
