Stolen from the Lovely Ricki.
UPDATE: Shit. Had to shut this down already because of the f*ckin' spammers.
1.ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
I love this one. I have several minor scars from various mishaps over lo these many years, but the worst scar I have is one that didn't even bleed. When I was about ten, I hopped over the chain link fence we had and scratched my wrist. Didn't even bleed, the blood just kind of seeped to the surface. It's a question-mark (or fishhook, depending on your perspective)-shaped scar on the inside of my wrist.
2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
Bedroom? Wallpaper. Many years before we put it up, the Sainted Bride and I heard that one sure route to divorce is to hang wallpaper together. So she made me put it up by myself.
3. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?
Yes, 2:32 p.m. When I turned 30, I celebrated by bringing a Guinness to work, and at 2:32 p.m. I walked out the back door and drank it.
4. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?
Free time
5. WHAT DO YOU MISS?
Certain relatives. My parents. My Auntie and Uncle. My grandparents. Ricki, dammit, you made me cry.

34. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST TURN OFF WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX?
