| 11 | No. And i'm not really looking either. | Do you feel you have found your purpose in life? If so, what is it? |
| 12 | i really am not sure what the heck you are asking. | Do you believe anyone has the right to sue for debt? Think about it before you reply the obvious. You would not lend the money in the first place if you were not sure it would be repaid. Don't you think the world would be a better place with this law? |
| 13 | in 1976 our grammar school buried a time capsule (to be dug up in 2001). my second grade class was asked to draw a picture of ourselves in 25 years. i drew a picture of me in a lab coat mixing multicolored chemicals with two beakers. i always envisioned myself as a scientist of some sort. | When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up? |
| 14 | ideally, i don't want the creep to be president any more. regardless of how badly Starr and the congress have handled their end of things. Clinton is scum, just like the last two presidents. I really wanted Reagan and Bush kicked out of office, and I want the same for Clinton. However, the way congress is going about things, an impeachment probably wouldn't be completed until after clinton's term was up anyway, so i'd rather they didn't waste our time and money. if it's to be done, do it quickly. censure is a joke. why bother? clinton will probably wait until his term is half over, resign, and then get pardoned by gore for any wrongdoing. | Should President Clinton be impeached? |
| 15 | sadly, none | What musical instruments can you play fairly well? And how did you learn to play them? |
| 16 | Several strange books jump immediately to mind, probably the strangest being Christopher Priest's Inverted World. It takes place on a hyperbola-shaped (rather than spherical) world. As you travel towards either of the asymptotes, space and time distort, and bad things happen. Unfortunately, the ground is slowly flowing "down" the hyperbola from one asymptote to the other, so the inhabitants live in a city on wheels which has to travel slowly along a track (which must constantly be moved from the back of the city to the front) in order to keep itself near the "normal" area in the middle of the hyperbola. Very odd, but I loved the images it described and the strange tangents it sent my thoughts on. Other strange candidates are Jonathan Letham's Amnesia Moon, Jeff Noon's Vurt, James Morrow's Towing Jehovah, Robert A. Wilson & Robert Shea's Illuminatus! (the first really strange book I ever read), and Samuel Delany's Einstein Intersections. I really liked all of these except the Delany, which I just didn't get. In all of these, the strangeness lies in the story being told. Another book that comes to mind is strange because of the way that the story is told - John Brunner's Stand on Zanzibar. Brunner mixes up bits of plot with bits of random background noise from the world being described until suddenly, about a fourth of the way into the book, it all suddenly congeals into a story somehow. An absolutely brilliant book. | What is the strangest book you have read? |
| 17 | every 6-8 months | How often do you get a haircut? |
| 18 | I don't know, nobody has tried to guess my age recently. | Do you look older than you really are? |
| 19 | Pretty large. Our library contains around 2500 books. | How large is your book collection? |
| 20 | i eat and read the boston globe | How do you spend your lunch hour? |
