[though it's a terrifically LiveJournal thing to do...]

A - Age: Twenty, two months, and ten days.

B - Band you're listening to right now: Broken Social Scene is in my CD player, but Interpol's in my head.

C - Career in future: In order of descending probability: physics-wanderer-of-academia (e.g. Scott Shelley), physics high school teacher, lawyer, rock star.

D - Dessert of choice: Tiramisu. Or Krispy Kremes.

E - Easiest person to talk to: Most consistently, I'd say my Kitten. She's to whom I can speak the most, though a few conversation topics are better avoided.

F - Favorite song at the moment: To quantify a favorite song is impossible, despite my best efforts. The last song that floored me though, is a different story. Spiritualized - Sway. Christ, so good. So layered, so well-textured, so gorgeous...

G - Gummy Bears or Gummy Worms: Gummy SOULS OF THE DAMNED. Ooh, this one's a simonist!

H - Hometown: I grew up in the D.C. metropolitan area, go to school near Philadelphia, am most consistently amazed in the Santa Barbara area, and am at greatest ease outside of Boston in Swampscott.

I - Instruments: I'd like to think that I can play almost anything, given enough time to let my fingers catch up to my brain. As it presently stands, the piano's the only instrument with which I've had considerable instruction. In addition, I can play with some self-taught competence: guitar, bass, drums, trumpet, and keyboard-style instruments (xylophone, keyboard synth, etc...).

J - Journal Title: "A Whisper In Water" was my original blog. The LiveJournal that mirrors it is "A Path of Cinders." Both of these stem from Bjork's "Bachelorette," which has beyond-stellar lyrics.

K - Keith: good man. good pirate.

L - Longest car ride ever: In my experiences, D.C. to Tallahassee and back. Ah, the South. Ah, leaving the South.

M - Masturbatory characteristics: Furious.

N - Number of siblings: One younger brother, though we were both born within the same year (Irish Twins). The sibling rivalry was beyond belief; we damned near killed each other.

O - One thing you can't stand: Being the one sober kid in a roomful of loud, clumsy, sloppy, embarrassing drunks. For fuck's sake, if you're having trouble moving around, don't. Don't fucking laugh about how sorry you are and knock shit over. Just stay the hell put and sober up 'till you can move. Alternately: give me enough to drink.

P - Phobia[s]: Imperfection, failure, dying unloved, alone, and gracelessly, and that stupid Kikia animation. And maybe bees. I fucking hate stinging insects.

Q - Favorite Quote: I don't really have one, though I enjoy a few song lyrics when I care to pay attention.

R - Reasons to smile: Innumerable. Hell, check my "Interests" subsection of my LiveJournal profile. I hit that 150 limit.

S - Song you sang last: Interpol - PDA.

T - Time you wake up: Barring an alarm clock, about 9 hours after I went to bed. There's no internal synching between clocks and my biochronometer.

U - Unknown fact about me: Christ, what don't you kids know about me? Um...I've played soccer with the Pakistani national cricket team. Not as an exhibition, but as a serious pick-up game. Shahid Afridi, as one may expect, is an asshole, and he trips, or at least tries to. Sucka got PLAYED.

V - Vegetable you hate: [going to hell]Christopher Reeve.[/going straight to hell]

W - Worst habit: Gosh, do I have to choose? It's hard to quantify, really.

X - X-rays you've had: Just the dental variety, and only once.

Y - Yummy food: I assume this question simply asks for an example thereof. To such a request, I would reply: The Avocado.

Z - Zodiac sign: Slapricorn.
