1. Christopher Morgan Schwab. (I used to hate 'Morgan,' because it was goofy and every standardized test I'd ever taken for some reason dropped the first letter of my ... middle(?) name? I was 'Christopher Organ.' My brother thought that'd make a hilarious porn-star name. Better than 'Sandy Roosevelt,' which is the traditional one.)

2. 26/November 3, 1979. I have a dear, dear friend I met at the job I worked before now. He shares my birthday, although a few years earlier -- still, we haven't celebrated one apart since we met. (He's like a third twin!)

3. Single, le sigh. Le mew. I've done a great deal of rationalizing my first two "relationships" in that I'm holding out for quality, not quantity of sexxx. (Deeply, personally I feel that someone who hasn't earned the right to know my middle name or that I loathe mushrooms above-most-else has no right to put his hoo-hah in my hoo-hoo-dilly. I can't divine whether it's Actually Because I was raised Catholic or I'm so picky no one will ever measure up.)

4. I worked in a video store for 3.5 years in college; if I had to pick /one,/ I suppose it would be ... 'The Testament of Dr. Mabuse,' a silent film from the 1930s. (I'm a huge German Expressionist film fan, and I'm told I'm not even really German. Still, mmm. Fritz Lang is one of my heroes. If you can't get your hands on that, try 'Unbreakable.' M. Night Shama-lama-ding-dong's most underrated film. Brilliant.)

5. I think the one I unconditionally love the video for, the one I've sung along twice in concert to, must qualify. 'Stinkfist,' by Tool.

6. So, so many. I recommend anything endorsed by Ry Cooder or Wim Wenders, but honestly it's Nirvana, Leadbelly, Tool and Wilco + Billy Bragg I groove to. (Bjork and Pink Floyd are indelibly seared into my brain because ... uh ... LSD. You don't forget what you found deep spiritual meaning in.)

7. To throw you for a loop, try locating a compliation by H.P. Lovecraft or Jorge Luis Borges. Both speak my language. As far as life-changing reading goes? Zelazny's "Chronicles of Amber." Period, exclamation point, ampersand. I love the "Ender's Game" series to a point, though Orson Scott scary-ass-Mormon now freaks me out. Comic book (which I love) is Neil Gaiman's "Season of Mists." Seek it out.

8. None, I have surgery/invasion issues. I could never find a tattoo I'd be just as happy to have when I was 75, so I decided upon none. Piercings ... pfft. It often appears I'm in the minority to /not/ have an earring (or two!) Which I boggle at and secretly laugh.

9. Again, ugh. Currently, my only (occasional) vices are 'Monk,' 'Mythbusters,' 'The Daily Show' and 'The Venture Brothers.' Since I gave my DVD player to a needy soul-I-adore, I've been less attached to the tee-vee. I'm a fan of this state of affairs.

10. Video game is 'Civilization III,' without a doubt that which I play most. Board game is probably 'Captain Park's Imaginary Polar Expedition,' by Cheapass Games. I just eBayed a copy. I recommend it heartily, because 'tis hilarious. (We instituted the informal rule that all quests must be recited in one's best faux-British accent, which results in butchery of various dialects. Ha.)

11. Alas, no. The closest I come is having met sudrin in the flesh, who was the adolescent boy-toy of wednes, whom I love and adore; wednes has commented on your journal, but only people I have seen in the flesh have actually met you. Sad, because I imagined you were D'Arcy the bassist from the Smashing Pumpkins ... um ... fifteen years ago? Yeah. I was on TinyTIM before my sister, "Taz." She used to claw me with fingernails to obtain online priveleges. Ouch.

12. I think I would try to make a cat-person into a cats-and-dogs person, because I have always had a dog and prefer them.

14. My first-ever high school crush was on a girl I sat next to in first-class-of-the-high-school-day. She was teh gay, and informed me so on Valentine's Day of my sophomore year. Foreshadowing much? Nah.

15. You posted it -- reply to me, dammit!


16. Lacking the capability outside a userpic (which I have devoted to the licking-of-toads,) I will be happy to email you an image of my august visage upon ... uh ... re-request.
