    1) I would play racquetball all day, every day if I had the time.

    2) I live in a big football town (Pittsburgh), but couldn't care less about the sport. I'm a baseball guy all the way. I'd rather watch the Pirates lose a spring training game than watch the Steelers win a Superbowl.

    3) My company is about to be sold, so I'll soon be looking for a job for the first time in 27 years. I'm equally excited and terrified.

    4) I wish I could live on pepperoni pizza, Ruffles, French onion dip and wine.

    5) Every time I see a police movie/tv show, I wish I'd have become a cop.

    There ya go. That's five. And I'm off to the racquetball court. :)

    1) I have lived in Rome and have studied in Vienna
    2) I hate feet
    3) I broke my arm when I was 3 by jumping off the top of a pop-up trailer. I've been afraid of heights and falling ever since
    4) I started college as a Music Ed major (trombone, with a piano minor). After my junior year I switched to a B.A. in trombone and piano, added an Intercultural Studied major, and a German minor. I was in college for 5 years because of that :laugh: I wouldn't trade it for the world, though.
    5) I'm in a long-distance relationship. When I say long-distance, I mean it's like one of the longest distances it gets. I live in Virginia, he lives in New Zealand (18 hour time difference). We talk when I get up for work in the morning and I tell him goodnight :smile:

    1. I am hoping to marry the man (then boy) that I met in grade 5....30 years ago.
    2. I went back to school at the age of 37 to start over after a break-up, in order to support my kids.
    3. I have a soft spot for animals.
    4. I can play 6 degrees to Kevin Bacon in 2 degrees.
    5. I have almost died 4 times in my life, that I know of. Once when I was 14 and I was on a plane that crash landed on a run way. Two more times when I gave birth to my kids...the first one caused me to bleed out. Luckily I had great hospital staff that managed to get it under control. The other child cut of the exit to my bladder while I was in labor so my urine was backing up into my body. The doctor's realized it after 20 hours of excruciating pain and gave me an emergency c-section just before my bladder exploded. Lastly, after the birth of my first child I need to have my gallbladder removed. The surgeon that performed the removal didn't seal up the bile ducts properly so I began to leak bile into my body cavity and developed blood poisoning. I had to be hospitalized for 2 weeks and was hallucinating that the nurses were trying to kill me.

    Very well, where do I begin?

    1) My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery.
    2) My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.
    3) My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.
    4) My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets.
    5) When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn *kitten*, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: love this well played sir

    1) I got to carry the Olympic Torch during the Vancouver 2010 relay across Canada. I still have my torch.
    2) I have one of the flags flown from Parliament Hill, after waiting for almost 10 years on a waiting list (Parliament Hill is like Capitol Hill, and every day, the gov't changes the flag).
    3) I've seen a perfect baseball game pitched live - Chicago White Sox, July 2009, Mark Buehrle vs. Tampa Bay. Best baseball game ever. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Buehrle's_perfect_game)
    4) I met my wife on March 23, 1991 and married her 4 1/2 months later on August 9th, 1991. We are still happily married.
    5) If I could live off of just one food / liquid, it would be coffee.

    1) I have a phobia of public transport, and find it difficult to so much as go and ask for a ticket.
    2) If I could choose one food and drink to live off for the rest of my life, it would be chocolate peanuts and strawberry Yazoo.
    3) I've known one of my friends since the minute I was born.
    4) All my names together mean "all-embracing, universal Scottish princess of love".
    5) I have flown before. (When I was 16, me and my friends were at a park and decided to muck about on the roundabout. One particular friend decided it would be hilarious to spin the roundabout as fast as they could - about the equivalent of, I don't know, 500mph, or so it felt. Can you guess what happened yet? It was going so fast that I was flung over the bars and over the bench which was quite a distance away, so it was actually pretty impressive. However, snapping my ankle between the bars on take off might not have been the most fun part...)
