Someday - and that day may never come - I'll start the father of all questionnaires. Mind you, it's gonna be a nosy, politically incorrect and naughty one. You teased me!

Yes, Alexey I like. It's the diminutive Alyosha I don't like. It got a wierd sound in Italian.... Tough to explain but....it actually is....weird....

I don't know WHY, but I like it too. Not the Italian (Michele ), just the English translation....and yes, the Russian one (it always makes me think of Mikhail Gorbaciov, I admired him so much)

I got spectacles in fact! (I'm shortsighted and have astigmatism, just like YOU!!!! :p ). Now, show me you palms and tell me what's that fur.

I know one [/b][/quote]All I needed was a bait.....

I don't know WHY, but I like it too. Not the Italian (Michele ), just the English translation....and yes, the Russian one (it always makes me think of Mikhail Gorbaciov, I admired him so much) [/b][/quote]I must confess I never did. F#$@ing traitor. Spoiled associations with my fav name!
What I meant was... this person.

That would be great! This thread idea just popped into my head, so I ran a search to see what we'd done in the past. I saw yours and remembered how fun they were. I think it'd be wonderful if you started another, and I'm sure everyone feels the same way.
[/b][/quote]I feel!
Did you see Fame's Profile thread, BTW?

JM, yes, I remembered that one, as well - I think I took a look at it to make sure I didn't repeat any...

You wanted to be a professional soccer player?

Double-J. If you listen to Plaw and Patrick, its because that is my stage name when I wrestle in NWA-TNA. However, I've had the name far before Tennessee Lee bestowed it upon Jeff Jarrett.

Vanilla Ice (Cream).

Who doesn't like Vanilla Ice (Cream)?

Since I seem to know about 7 or 8 of them, Jenny is a nice name.

In world politics, I'm a realist, which by default makes me a pessimist.

In my life though, I like to think postive (like Christopher Moltisanti).

Between 6-8 hours, I suppose. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

I dream weird dreams. Some of them make sense, many of them don't. However, I do feel like I have deja vu occassionally. I try to interpret my dreams as well, but I usually forget them if I don't write them down.

I feel great, most of the time. I'm a morning person, I like to get all of my stuff done in the AM. So once I wake up, I can't fall back to sleep, I just go.

In general, I think about girls, but then again, I think about them all the time, not just when I wake up. :p

Nah, I think about what is going on at University today, what I've got to get together before I leave, etc.

About 45 minutes. Get up, brush teeth/wash face/comb hair (or, in lieu thereof, wear a Yankees/Sabres cap), have a good shite, get dressed, get my papers and books in order, and get in my vee-hickle.

Short-term: Getting my BA.

Long-term: Getting my PhD, finding a decent job, getting married.

My faith, my academic record, my family.

Christ. Then, my father, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, George Harrison.

As a kid, I wanted to be a medical doctor. I did pre-med for two years, and did very well, but I wanted something different, and I've found my niche in history. In high school, I wanted to be a sportscaster...I did all the music/play-by-play for the sporting events, but I didn't pursue it at school. There aren't many opportunities for journalism/sportscasting in my area (though, if you need me ESPN, call me :p ). That's more of a hobby now, I suppose.

History, obviously. I'm also good in human anatomy/biology, physics, english, and I'm semi-decent in mathematics.

Outside of that, I taught CCD/religion for a bit. I've also coached Little League baseball.

History, at least if you are going to debate current events. Watch Jay-walking on Jay Leno, so many people have no clue.

In general, though, I'd just like people to be more educated before they open their mouths. Math skills and English would be a plus, since I know so many people that can't do either, and they wonder why they can't find jobs or flunk out of school.

American History.

My faith, my morals/convictions.

My body. I'm still a fat ass. I wish I had more free time to join an amateur/local baseball league, or something along those lines.

Depends. If it is something personal, there are very few people I'm willing to share it with.

If it is a general gripe, especially with ineptitude/ignorance at my University, I'll probably be the first to go off and heckle the situation, and share it with everyone.

For instance, we have a chapter of "Students Against Sweatshops," a club dedicated to the elimination of sweatshops across the world. Every semester, they have representatives come into the big lecture halls and talk about their club.

When they came into my Post-Reconstruction US History class about three years ago, the speaker was going off on President Bush, the evils of NAFTA, and how America allows these sweatshops, and why we need to unite to stop this travesty.

Yet, he was wearing Nike shoes and a Nike jogging jacket. When I called him on this during the question and answer session, all he could say was that "these are old, I don't support fascist Nike anymore." :rolleyes:

Too bad those were new Nike Shox.

Big talker. I've been compared to Jay Leno/Robin Williams in my humour, so I use it to my advantage, especially if I'm in a romantic situation. I can listen, too. But I am usually nervous in matters of the heart, so I try to get the girl to relax with a joke or two about something from class.

And no, I don't need alcohol to loosen me up. Though I do a mad Elvis Presley impersonation after a few shots.

Always lead. Otherwise, it seems like nothing will ever get done. This is especially true with group projects.

Very rarely would I jump right in, unless it was a sure-fire no-risk type thing. I am careful when it comes to stuff like that, but that doesn't mean I won't take a risk or grab an opportunity, should it present itself.

Dunno. I suppose because I am a future historian, I think the small things do matter, especially in debate.

But I'm not going to crucify someone if they don't know obscure details. It's very easy to belittle someone if you're the one holding the book, and I've always made it my policy not to be too hard on people when it comes to stuff like that.

On the other hand, some people just don't do any work, and don't have their shit together. For them, I have no sympathy.

So yes, I suppose I am pretty into details.

Change can be good. I'd like to change my romatic situation. But I like Buffalo, I'd like to stay here if I could.

Like most Americans, I think it is easy to fall into the trap of taking our freedoms and liberties for granted, and we have to wake up and realize our freedom isn't free (it costs a buck 'o five).

I dunno. Blind guys do seem to get chicks (Daredevil, Neo in Matrix Revolutions, etc.), but not being able to see would be tough, especially for someone like me who reads constantly.

I suppose I'd have to pick deafness, though it would be extremely frustrating, since I love music.

Probably an otter, something that is playful and happy, and appreciates a good practical joke.

Stupid. Give me an F1 race any day, I'd love to ride in one of those cars. That is real speed, real g-force.

Walter Eckland (i.e. The Filthy Beast) as played by Cary Grant in Father Goose.

Dunno. If I had to pick someone who was alive, probably Paul McCartney.

We can't just print more money to give to poor people (surprisingly, most kids don't understand inflation ).

Tough one, since I have so many cool books. But I have to say, writing my thesis and other research works has been so cool, I love to have people read my stuff and come away with new understandings and perspectives. Its so cool. So I suppose it would be writing.

Yeah

You can always play on a lower level.
I myself gave up hope about doing it on high level, but somewhere in the lowest regions possible, I can compete.

Well I'm 19, and I've played since I was 4 or 5.. I lettered 3 years in high school.. then I came to college and got lazy. Mostly because I hate playing with other girls. I was on a boys team my whole life until high school, when I HAD to be on the girls team.. and even then I played in an all boys league for Indoor Soccer.

My job, you ask? The Enforcer.



:p

Hi bogey was she your friend?

I assume Bogey has covered her mates face for anonymity. It's internet etiquette - you don't expose others without their permission. Unless they slept with your missus. Then you have every right to photoshop their picture with some vegetable gay porn.

Hi De Niro, its like Turi said. I'm still friends with her, although I haven't talked to her in a while as we both went to different colleges. That was our "Bash Brothers" pic. We were the toughest mofos on the field. :p

I think you're right.. I know I've read that somewhere. :p

Bogey - but if you're a bash "brother," doesn't that make you a dude?!? :p

Technically, yes. However we figured that since we didn't discriminate whether we hit guys or girls, there was no reason for people to discriminate against us when we called ourselves the Bash Brothers.

If you'd have been in the chat room last week (i think) you'd also know that I have a big fuzzy beard. But that is neither here nor there.. :p

To paraphrase David Spade: "In other news, millions of teenage boys turned out for V For Vendetta after hearing Natalie Portman was shaved, only to be disappointed upon finding out it was her head. Not her..."

What is your name? Is there any special meaning for why you were named this?

My name is Debbie. My Dad chose it because there was a girl on Eastenders (tv program) that was called Debbie and he liked it when people called her Debz lol

I think - "Darn it!" And drag my lazy ass into school!

How long is your morning routine, to get ready for the day?

Not that long:
Get up, usually have a shower and wash my hair, then I have to dry my hair and then I have to straighten my hair. Then I get dressed, grab a bite to eat and drive to school.
