Erm. Cough. Probably larp kit.
62. WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST (can be musical artist also):
Probably Giger. MMmm biomechanical...
63. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
Sometimes. I try not to overuse it, since I was exposed to obsessive overuse of it at school by people who thought it was 'witty'. In general, I despise false attempts at 'wittiness' because it so easily becomes 'bitchiness' or 'I want to punch you in the face-ness'. I'd rather people had conversations than tried to constantly score points against each other.

No, and possibly proud of it?
65. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY/GIRL?
The eyes. But what's behind the eyes? The brain. Everyone likes brains, especially that oh-so-icky-sticky CSF. Failing that, the lungs sound like a barrel of laughs. *cough*

T. Teasa. Taser. Tree. That which has emerged only recently amongst those oh-so-wacky people at work, and will go unspoken on pain of death.

Electronics was great. So was RE.
