sereneOoh, I get to talk about my boys, yay. (Stole this one from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
custardfairy.)
1. They are watching TV. What are they watching?
stonebender: Science-fiction shows (like Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, etc.); anything by Aaron Sorkin; stuff that loracs likes, like Dancing with the Stars or home-improvement shows; basically anything that's on, because he's a total TV slut
someotherguy: Whatever sucks him in that I'm watching. Basically, he doesn't like any TV that was made after 1950.
2. You're out to eat. What kind of dressing do they get on their salad?
stonebender: He prefers a basic vinaigrette, but what he really wants is loracs's dressing, which from what I can tell is a basic homemade red-wine vinaigrette. It's yummy.
someotherguy: Ranch.
3. What's one food this person doesn't like? What's one food this person could not live without?
stonebender: He really dislikes pickled things. He could live without hamburgers, but he'd be mighty unhappy. Ditto coffee, bacon, and chicken.
someotherguy: He dislikes buttermilk, except as an ingredient. He would shrivel up and die without coffee. :-)
4. You go out to the bar. He/she orders...
stonebender: The darkest beer they have, preferably one that's "chewy". We don't go to bars, though we do like to go to pub-themed restaurants.
someotherguy: Diet coke. But the idea of him going to a bar on purpose is kind of unlikely.
5. Where did he/she go to high school?
stonebender: Illinois.
someotherguy: Santa Rosa, CA
6. What size shoe do they wear?
stonebender: Both of them have small feet. I think Stonebender's are maybe a 5?
someotherguy: ...and I think Someotherguy wears an 8 1/2
7. If this person were to collect anything, it would be...
stonebender: *gigglefit* Oh, goodness. Let me try to imagine a world where he DOESN'T collect things. But anyway, BOOKS! DVDs. Comic books. Action figures in wheelchairs. CDs. Science-fiction toys. Star Trek stuff. The boy is a collector at heart.
someotherguy: And he's not. If he were going to collect something, it would be something odd, like remote-controlled zeppelins or something, but he's not the collecting type.
8. What is their favorite type of sandwich?
stonebender: Besides a burger, I'd say eggs and cheese, with or without bacon. Or peanut butter and butter. Or the meat combo at Genova. :-)
someotherguy: Besides a burger, grilled cheese.
9. This person could eat ______ everyday.
stonebender: A hamburger.
someotherguy: He actually *does* eat toast and eggs (or toast and cottage cheese) just about every day.
10. Favorite cereal?
stonebender: Cream of wheat with brown sugar
someotherguy: Shredded wheat and eggs.
11. This person wouldn't be caught dead wearing?
Neither of them really cares about fashion much, and they both just wear whatever's clean in the closet.
12. Favorite sports team?
Neither is into sports at ALL.
13. Who will he/she vote for?
OBAMA!!!
14. What is their sign?
stonebender: I don't know. I'd have to look it up. (I know when his birthday is; I just don't know which dates go with which signs.)
someotherguy: He had his sign surgically removed at birth.
15. What is something you do that he/she wishes you didn't?
stonebender: Live somewhere other than next door to him. :-)
someotherguy: Worry about the housework. (He's fine with me doing my share of it; he just dislikes that I stress about it.)
16. How many states has this person lived in?
stonebender: Two, I think.
someotherguy: One.
17. What is his/her heritage?
stonebender: Danish, German, and some other generic white stuff.
someotherguy: There's some Irish in there somewhere, but this is another mutt of a white boy.
18. You bake them a cake for their birthday. What kind do you bake?
stonebender: German chocolate or red velvet, and then I would second-guess myself for hours, because I can never remember if he actually likes them or if it's loracs who does. I'm really not a cake person.
someotherguy: Devil's food.
19. Did he/she play sports in high school?
Nope.
20. This person could spend hours...
stonebender: Watching movies or TV; talking with me; reading books or comic books; playing games on the internet
someotherguy: Writing code; working on his game (the one he's writing, or the ones he plays)
21. He/She wants a new...
stonebender: house in Berkeley. ;-)
someotherguy: Roomba. It's on its way, actually. The old one broke two weeks into the warranty period.
22. The CD I would probably find in their vehicle is...
Neither of them has a vehicle with a CD player, but if I have to pick a car-tunes CD for each of them, then let's pick some Linkin Park forstonebender and an '80s mix for someotherguy
23. What can you do that will guarantee a laugh from him/her?
Gosh, I don't know. We all laugh so much. I'd like to see them answer this if they want.
24. Does he/she get along well with their family? (I assumed "family of origin".)
Yes, but they're not close, with the exception ofsomeotherguy and his brother.
25. If money weren't an object, I would buy him/her...
stonebender: A new van; a house in Berkeley; a web-enabled telescope, or time on one of the big ones.
someotherguy: This house we're living in, and the apartments behind us.
