I do not drive a car.... take the train occasionally but I'm a 'motorless' biker mostly (plus a peripateticus of course).

How many pairs of socks do you own? (man, I'm one hell of an interviewer)

Not to exclude anybody here but there are a few on WP I came to know a little better (in the 15 months I roam here now) and I think it would awesome to meet some of them IRL, I think.

Well done, Miss Cosmiccat. It's not a very well known painting by Monet but it's one of my favourites. Painted in Holland, btw, earlier in his career.

Oh, I almost forgot to answer your Q.... but that's the man himself, a self portrait.

I like impressionism a lot, so same question as my previous one.... do you know who painted this one?

To answer your question: What is the most drastic life-changing event you've ever experienced?

The sudden death of my 21 year old grandson in an automobile accident.

(And Acacia, I have bookmarked The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna and look forward to reading it. Thanks.)



What is your earliest or first memory?

My first memory is from a month before my 4th birthday, when my mom was asking what kind of cake I wanted and I said, "carrot cake".

I'm enjoying this current stage of my life: young adulthood.

How do you react to criticism?

Usually not well.

If you could change your first name to another one. Which one would you choose and why?

If it were feasable, i'd just have my name removed. Nameless, nothing, no nick name, nothing. I'd change my name to . Nothing.



You prefer your water cold or room temperature?

Cold, for sure, even in winter. Or really hot of course, like in tea or coffee.

How do drink your tea and how your coffee? (black, sugar, with milk, etc.)

Oink, white?

What do you eat with your drink? It depends or differs.... I like black olives a lot, nuts like pistachio, mixed nuts with raisins but no peanuts in them, cheese sometimes and sunflower seeds is a standard snack (throughout the day really). Not really a crisps kinda dude but occasionally I buy some.

Do you think there's some truth in physiognomy or that there are things to 'read' in how someone looks? (face, overall constitution and posture, hands maybe)

Not saying I do but what your opinion about this?

Hmm... I am really having a hard time reading people's actions... especially faces... but people say otherwise...

How do you respond to authority?
