Q&A Meme
Oh, why not . . .
Spell your first name backwards: hpesoj
The story behind your user name: Hmm. None really. I was born with it.
Where do you live: Downtown Seattle, Washington. I look out my window at the skyline and the Space Needle.
Four words that sum you up: Stubborn, abrasive, caring, driven.
Wallet: Standard black leather.
Sunglasses: Long ovals with blue lenses.
CD in stereo right now: Sting - All this Time.
Tattoos: None yet. :-) Plans are in the making, though.
Piercings: Left ear, but my body rejected it.
Clothes: Jeans and black long-sleeve button-up.
Makeup: I'd tell, but then I'd be giving away my secrets.
In my mouth: The wonderful taste of coffee.
In my head: Wondering why I'm doing this meme.
Wishing: That one day I'll be able to support myself off of my writing.
After this: Amber and Dennis' for party! Woo-hoo!
Talking to: My beautiful wife.
If you could get away with it and murder anyone, who would it be? Nah, my FBI file's too large as it is.
Person you wish you could see right now: All of my friends in one place.
Something you're looking forward to in the upcoming month: Finishing my novella and at least four chapters on my novel.
Something that you are deathly afraid of: Being ignored.
Do you like candles: Yes. Wish I had more of them. I've always wanted to spend an evening by the fireplace with candles glowing everywhere!
Do you like hot wax: Well now that's a silly question. ;-)
Do you like incense: Yes, even more so because my ex-wife hated it.
Do you like the taste of blood: I used to. When I was in law enforcement and the military. If I knew an apprehension would get physical, I'd be nervous until I got hit and tasted blood in my mouth. As soon as that happened, my head cleared and I knew I was in control. Sick, huh?
Do you believe in soul mates: Um, I don't believe in a soul, so . . .
Do you believe in love at first sight: Yes. Absolutely.
Do you believe in Heaven: Hmm. A mythical place of reward wherein you spend your day doing all the things--singing, praising god--that you avoided in life. Nah, I'll pass.
Do you believe in forgiveness: Absolutely. We're all fallible and we're all human. We learn by making mistakes.
Do you believe in God: No, but I believe in Dogs.
What do you want done with your body when you die: I want to be buried with a laptop and cellular modem. I'm terrified of being buried alive. I know it's not possible in this day and age, but you'll never convince me of that. Not on an emotional level, anyway.
If you could have any animal for a pet, what would it be: Two Irish Wolfhounds.
What is the latest you've ever stayed up: Six days straight. I was doing primary research for a story. I went to bed after I opened my dresser to get a clean pair of underwear and flames leaped out of the drawer.
Ever been to Belgium: Yup. Germany, France, Luxembourgh, Switzerland, Austria, England, Spain, Italy, Lichtenstein and oh yeah, Canada.
Can you eat with chopsticks: You betcha.
What are 5 cities you wouldn't mind relocating to? New York, New Orleans, Portland, OR, Bangor, MN and London.
What are some of your favorite pig out foods: Cheeze-its.
What's something that you wish people would understand: That belief in an invisible, all-potent, masogonistic god isn't necessary for human beings to be good to one another.
What's something you wish you could understand better: Editors. :-)
Anyone you miss that you haven't seen in a long time: Mike Branca. Wherever you are buddy, I hope you're doing well.
What's one thing you want to make happen? To be read by many, many people.
THREE WAYS I AM STILL JUST A KID: I make up silly, non-rhyming songs on the spur of the moment. I make up stories. I go nuts over bad horror movies.
THREE SCREEN NAMES YOU HAVE HAD: Druce, Imaginavigator, jpaulhaines.
THREE THINGS YOU LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF: I'm getting better as a writer. I'm full of love for the people I care about. I stand up for myself.
THREE THINGS YOU HATE ABOUT YOURSELF: I'm occassionally condescending. I can be very, very abrasive. I'm fairly intolerant of anyone overly religious.
THREE THINGS THAT SCARE YOU: Ignorance. George Bush. That we're going to become a Christian country.
THREE OF YOUR EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS: Computer. Fiction. Kisses from my wife.
THREE OF YOUR FAVORITE BANDS/ARTISTS: Sting, Annie Lennox, Rachmaninov.
