1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?

3. Have you ever 'done it' in a hotel room?
 Nope

4. Have you ever stolen a street sign before?
 Unh-uh

5. Do you like to use post-it notes?
you betcha

I have done so in the past. Same with the "here, have some coupons" thingys that you get at the grocery store with your receipt.

 No

16. How many people have you slept with this week?

D'Yer Mak'er by Led Zeppelin

Isn't that the point of it being "hidden" treasure, that nobody else knows where it is? I'm not telling...

Water, most of the time. Diet Coke if I'm not at home.

24. What do you dip a chicken nugget in?
Ooh, too many points to eat those on a regular basis. I'm a big fan of both honey mustard and spicy brown mustard, though.

I love all foods, but if I had to choose an absolute favorite, it'd be New York-style pepperoni pizza, dripping with pepperoni grease, folded in half and eaten stooped over on a sidewalk.

54. Ever eat a pierogie?
No, but I've had other kinds of dumplings/filled pastas.

55. Favorite type of fruit pie?

[A is for age]

[B is for booze of choice]
When I have a choice, it's Bushmill's Irish Whiskey. When I don't have a choice, it's anything but tequila.

[C is for career of choice]
Something better than what I'm currently doing. Ideally, I'd like to win the lottery, and start paying myself to sit around all day playing on the computer.

[D is for your drug of choice]
Caffeine is pretty much the only one I do these days, and that not even so much. Maybe matein (since I drink a lot of mate tea)?

[E is for one essential item you use everyday]
Hmmm. My iBook. Nothing else gets "everyday" status.

[F is for favorite song at the moment]
Chumbawamba, "Home With Me" off of Readymades

[G is for favorite game]
Scrabble. Followed closely by Trivial Pursuit and Texas 42.

[H is for Hometown]
Austin, TX. Arlington is just somewhere that I used to live.

[I is for instruments you play]
 Violin

[J is for favorite juice]
Cranberry, although I've recently been digging Odwalla's "Super Food."

[K is for kids]
None so far, but I'm not vehemently opposed to them

[L is for last hug]
Heather, before I left for work last night

[M is for marriage?]
see "K".

[N is for nickname]
I don't really have a nickname; "Paul" is pretty short to start with.

[O is for number of overnight hospital stays]
None that I can remember

[P is for phobias]
Aside from the typical male "fear of rejection," none.

[Q is for quote]
"Everything that happens, stays happened." --Terry Pratchett

[R is for biggest regret]
No comment.

[S is for singing]
Frequently, when I'm alone in my truck. Sometimes in other places, when there's enough other people to hide the fact that I can't carry a tune that well.

[T is for time you woke up]
usually between 1600 and 1700 Central.

[U is for underwear]
 Boxers.

[V is for vegetable you love]
I can't choose "all of the above"? Bah. Um... tomatoes are fruits, so I'm gonna have to go with broccoli. But not just the florets; I like the stems a lot more than the tops.

[W is for worst habit]
cracking my neck every 10 minutes

[X is for number of x-rays you've got]
2, I think.

[Y is for yummy food you make]
Most things I make are yummy. I'm particularly fond of frittatas.
