Please Tell Me About You
19Age/Sex/Location?
28/M/Lansing, Michigan, USA.
Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Yes, I have a stepbrother, a stepsister, a brother-in-law, a sister-in-law, and my stepsister has a husband. Is that a stepbrother-in-law?
When was the last time that you've cried?
Can't recall exactly, but recently (past week or two) there was something emotional in a movie or on TV that got me crying a little.
Do you post on any other forum(s) and if so, which ones?
I have, but not anymore.
What was the last good CD/LP that you've purchased?
I buy so little music these days. The last CD I bought was The Hold Steady "Separation Sunday," which is good. The guy has an obsession with certain subjects, and all the songs start to run together, but I like it. You'll never guess who recommended it to me.
What do you see if you look directly to your right?
The funny thing is, at the desk I'm at right now, my computer monitor is to my right. So actually, I'm looking to the right as I type this.
What was the last book that you've read?
The last book I finished was I, Robot, by Isaac Asimov. I'm reading the sequel, Caves of Steel, now. Just before that was Robert Harris's Fatherland.
Are you single or in a relationship?
I am married.
Oustide of this board, what is your nickname?
Most people call me Rick. My wife has a bunch of pet names for me, but nobody else really calls me anything but Rick.
Can you recall your very first music purchse? If so, what is it?
My first CD purchase was Public Enemy's "Apocalypse 91: The Enemy Strikes Black." I don't recall whether this was my first music purchase, or if I had bought tapes previous to that. I didn't buy vinyl until later.
Please list three bands that you enjoy immensely:
Talking Heads, Elvis Costello and the Attractions, Modern Lovers

Do you believe in God?
No.
Do you believe in the supernatural?
No.
Do you believe in alien lifeforms?
Yes.
Have you ever thought about same-sex experimentation? Please be adult and mature about this question.
Very briefly. I decided you can be open-minded and still know you're not gonna like certain things without having to try them.
How do you align yourself politically?
Within the American context, pretty far left. Within a global context, pretty moderate, I suppose. Left of center on some things, slightly right of center on others.
Have you ever been in a protest march? If so, which one?
Yes, I was in a couple of marches protesting the current Iraq war. I also went to Washington to protest the first Bush inauguration.
How would you describe your parents?
Intelligent, accomplished, happy, healthy, caring. Just the first few words that come to mind.
Are your parents still alive?
Yes.
Do you drink alcohol?
No.

What song do you want to be played at your funeral?
I've never thought of a good answer to this.
What color socks are you wearing?
To my shame, white.
Are you a handyperson?
I have my moments, but it would be lying to say anything other than no.
What game(s) did you enjoy the most in your childhood?
Just about all of them. It would be hard to pick just one. I was more into video games and board games than sports, unfortunately, but my favorite video and board games would be quite a long list.
What was the last thing that you said?
Thanks.
Have you ever spent more than $100 on a pair of jeans?
No.
Describe your favorite band in one word:
Sweet. And by sweet, I mean totally awesome. Silly, but it popped into my head when I read the question, so I had to write it down.
Are you athletic?
I'm getting better, though!
Are you shy?
Kind of yes, kind of no. If I have to get off the fence, I'd have to say no.
Have you ever been arrested? A Y/N will suffice, but if you feel like expanding on the matter please do.
No.
