• Favorite Food: sushi or a Jake's special burger (just not together)
• Favorite kind of music: all (no really)
• Favorite Book: Hard one. I'd have to change the Q to favorite author: Jim Butcher. But Ender's Game was pretty darn good.
  
• Favorite Movie: AHHH another tough one. I like adventure movies (National Treasure, Sahara, The Mummie, etc) mostly but I love sarcastic characters (Tony Sparks in Ironman or Mel in Serenity) and dark humor (Cold Blooded). Movies that sideblind me at the end (Lucky#Sleven, Fight Club) are great too. Too hard to pick just one.

"I gotta give a shout out to Master Chief, Sam Fisher, Zero wing (AYBABTU), Goldeneye 007 (64), Mr. Pac Man, Mario Cart (64), Super Smash Brothers (64), The Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time (64), minesweap, solitaire, bomberman (64), COD4, starcraft, Diablo II, tetris, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Bros., Street Fighter II, Doom, Mortal Kombat, and Pong. Oh, and God and Jesus."
• Favorite Website: Why Eggxpert of course.
• Most frightened of: Cassie
• Most Embarrassing Moment: Well I won't share the full details but it involved a Planet of the Apes marathon and a very screwed up dream.
• Happiest Moment: Learning some one out there loved me, and not in the parental or 'friendly' way (corny, I know, but I had a 'whoa' moment and all the tingles that come with it).
• A Vivid Childhood Memory: Going to Hawaii with my best friend. It involved a drunken abusive father and a runaway kid that we helped saved. Crazy times. Oh and writing into the sand that he liked this one girl and our room number. Haha, he still hates me for that one.
• Your "good deed" of the century: Century means the past 8 years. c**p. Ummm.... I guess sending random people I have never met in person flowers when they've had a really bad day/week/month.>
• Guilty Pleasure(s): Romantic Comedies... The ones Cass forces me to go to, of course. If you had 1 wish, what would it be and why?: Let no parent have to out live their children. Cause that is just wrong.
• When refilling your toilet paper, do you prefer it over or under?: Over, of course. Who goes under these days?.
• Would be voted "Most Likely to": live a long bland life. Working on fixing that.
• What color are most of your socks? I blame it on corporate America: Tan or Black.
• What would be the title of a tell-all book about you? Read Me. Please?
• What do you spend too much time doing? Doing stuff like this.
• Most treasured possession: a Saint Christopher necklace given to me by my grandmother on the day of my high school graduation. Because I like to travel a lot and haven't ran into any trouble since then *knocks on wood*.
• What's always on your grocery list?: Bottled water, my addiction.
• The thing you like best about yourself: I'll say what's on my mind.
• What should never be discussed in polite company (if anything)?: What's on my mind.
• Favorite hero: Person or ability?: Person, I like sarcastic people to the point of "I hate you" (like Dr. House). So Tony Starks, but I hear spiderman is much more sarcastic in the comics than on the silver screen. Ability would have to be... Hmm. Hulk is pretty crazy. But teleportation sounds tempting.
• Favorite EggXpert member (other than yourself) and why: So many to choose from... That's what's so great about this community. 42 is my answer. (runs to go see if someone is named 42)
• Favorite Forum thread at EggXpert, this very moment: Zombie Hour with Root, just because it's turned into something I didn't expect. It got highjacked by 4-5 really cool people.
• Favorite Blog at EggXpert, this very moment: Is it wrong to say myself? I think it is. Maplerine, while doesn't have a large quantity, has some great quality. And refreshingly different.
