6. 10 random answers

1. What subject matter is on your desk calandar at work (at home by your computer if you don't have a work desk)

Random low-level works of art - it's a company calendar.

2. Apples or Oranges? Discuss

They serve utterly different purposes. For example, one could hardly eat an orange with cheese at the end of a good meal - yet an apple is utterl perfect in such a role. Thus is demonstrated the saying that they cannot be compared.

3. If you had $10k to take your dream vacation where would you go and what one other person would you take?

Florence, I have nobody particular in mind - but s/he would have to be at least moderately knowledgeable about art and architecture, and interested therein, plus drink like a fish and enjoy life.

4. What place have you lived at the longest in your life

Aylesbury, Bucks. (just a wee while north from where I live now) - lived there for 9 years.

5. What is the first album you ever bought - what medium was it on (ie - vinyl, cassette, 8-track, cd, etc)

Never bought an 'album' per se, first music I bought was (I think) a set of baroque violin concerti (mostly Vivaldi).

6. What is one TV show on today that you watch faithfully

None. The nearest thing is probably The West Wing, but Channel4 (the U.K. station which shows it) keeps messing up the schedule to an utterly appaling extent, and the D.V.D. of the next series will be out before they bother to show it (if they even do).

7. What was the name of your first boyfriend/girlfriend - whatever happened to that relationship?

Lynsey, uhm, she was a girl, and whilst I didn't quite realise that I was gay at the time - things did fizzle out shockingly quickly.

8. What is your favorite card game?

Snap - whilst all participants are slightly intoxicated.

9. How old where you when you realized there was no tooth fairy but your parents putting money under your pillow. When you learned the truth, did you let your parents know or kept quiet so you'd still get the money

Pretty young - I kept up the pretence. I still get a stocking from Father Christmas to this very day (and I leave him a mince pie and glass of sherry too).

10. If a picture paints 1000 words then why can't I paint you?

Simple - I'm far more than a 1000 words.

What was the name of your first boyfriend/girlfriend - whatever happened to that relationship? Ivar. I broke up with him when I realized that I was more in love with the idea of being in love than I was with him. I was 17 and very dramatic. :)

What is your favorite card game? euchre

How old where you when you realized there was no tooth fairy but your parents putting money under your pillow. When you learned the truth, did you let your parents know or kept quiet so you'd still get the money. i remember huge portions of my childhood, but i have no memory whatsoever of this.

I'd say Spain (which is where I really want to go right now), but I could probably do that with my own funds. So, if I had $10,000 in travel vouchers handed to me, I'd go to Japan and take my SO.

we dated other people. So I have had other boyfriends. But my husband and I kept coming back to each other! But we did see other people.
