How this works: Comment with your favorite color and I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better. Update your journal with the answers to the questions. Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions!

My questions are from endlessblush:
1. What was your favorite toy as a child? What is your favorite toy now?

2. What do you wish you could eat and eat and eat without suffering any health consequences?

3. What is your favorite thing to take photographs of and what type of camera do you use?

4. What was the last book you read?

5. What famous historical figure would you like to sit down and have a drink with?


1a) Probably the teddy bear I talked about last month: http://fbhjr.livejournal.com/690629.html . The only think I can think of that would rival that would be my bike. I rode my bike all over the place as a kid. It was the best way to get away from my family. My brother was not willing to ride as far as I was, so I didn’t get in trouble for ditching him.
1b) Probably my iPad. It’s not really a toy. I use it for all sorts of things. But, it does amuse me a lot.

Milk products. I did not become allergic to milk until I was 25. So, I know what I’m missing in milk, cheese, ice cream and the like.

My favorite thing to take photos of is my wife and I doing things. It helps me to remember things to be able to see them again. So, I take lots of photos. I always have, but now that I don’t have to pay for film and developing, I take even more. My current camera is a Cannon Powershot 300HS. It is pretty good for a point and shoot.

I’m 94% through “At the Mouth of the River of Bees” so I’ll count that. It’s a collection of short stories. I like some of them a lot. Others, not so much. Some are really disturbing.

I can’t really think of any. I do a lot of historical things. It was what I did my humanities requirement in during college. It spend a lot of time reading history books or related things like old sword manuals.
Much like anyone alive now, I wouldn’t want to pester anyone who wouldn’t want to talk with me. I don’t know how else to explain it. A mixture of shy and introverted, at least when I’m not on stage.

It's a dark shade of blue green.

And your questions will be:
1) How did you come to do what you do for a living?
2) Why do you live where you live?
3) What is your favorite food?
4) Are you a cat, dog or other kind of person?
5) What do you do for fun?

It's funny how all of a sudden our body starts to say "hey, nope you cant eat that any more!". Do you have any idea why you suddenly became allergic to milk products?

iPads are great fun! :D


I like blue-greeny colour ... ocean colour. Hit me with some questions Frank.

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

1) When you walk along the ocean’s edge is there anything you hope to find?
2) What is your favorite type of marine mammal?
3) Why do you like orange?
4) When did you go to your first ren faire?
5) What is the farthest you’ve traveled from home?

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

1) How many tornadoes have you seen?
2) What is the deepest you have been underwater?
3) When looking at clouds, what do the shapes look like to you?
4) What kind of music do you like?
5) What, if any, pets did you have when you were young?

The milk thing runs in my family. My mother's family had the lactose intolerance, my father's the allergy. I got both.

Here are some questions:
1) How did you come to do what you do for a job?
2) Is there anything else you’d rather do if you could do anything?
3) Is there any place you would like to visit, but haven’t? (Not where your kids want to go, you.)
4) Which beach is your favorite & why?
5) Do you sing along with songs as you drive your car?

1) How do you plan to keep me awake on our 24 hour drive next week?
2) If you could live anywhere you wanted, where would you live?
3) Why did you study art in school?
4) How did you start at the sword guild at Higgins?
5) What is the highest you’ve been above ground?

[palusbuteo.livejournal.com]

1) Lots of quizzes/questions and nerding about Star Wars, Star Trek too perhaps, Deep Philosophical Questions (maybe), raunchy jokes (or creations thereof), and trying to nail down dialogue and witty banter for The Show.

2) I really love the area I'm in (Worcester/Central MA, Blackstone Valley), so if I was able to have my own place, I think it would likely be here. I can visit other places for various stretches of time, but here has always felt home.

3) I don't really remember how I got into Fine Arts. I seem to remember being insistent in Graphic Design and Technical Illustration/Drafting when I was looking at Colleges, but Fine Arts and Art History just seemed to grow on me. It was also something I felt I was really good at, and would enjoy a deeper, intense study in it. Few other majors/studies appealed to me.

4) I went to a Higgins Faire weekend after I was home from College in 2000. I had seen History Channel's "Arms In Action" Starring Wallace father and son, Keith Ducklin and Andy Dean and was enthralled with their work. While at the Museum I saw a flyer offering a workshop / meet&greet with John Wallace, Wallace Jr and Dean from the Royal Armouries on Historical Swordplay, so, it threw together two bursting interests: Historical Swordplay AND meeting "Famous Foreign People I saw on TV". At the Workshop, Dr. Forgeng announced the formation of a group to do more of this stuff. I was among the first few to sign on. Not long after, I met this lovely couple who tried to force me into joining their Ren Faire troupe...... (inside joke for those who don't know us)

5) Not knowing the actual altimeter readout, whatever alt. an airliner had been flying I'd been on. But since most of them are around the 30,000 foot mark, that's the highest I've been. If we're talking in a building or landscape, I've been to the summit of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. I've also been on Mt. Greylocke, highest in MA. I've also been through Route 6 in Oregon, passing through from Portland to Tillamook, but I don't think we were ever at the very top of the range)
