I liked the movie, does that count? Never had a green tomato fried of otherwise.

When the snow comes will you make a snowman?

If I'm around my nieces when there snow surely. Although if they are here probably not as we have a big hill and sledding down it is much more fun than a snowman. So I guess maybe.

Do you pop your joints?

No. I don't think they ever really popped much on their own, either. My sister used to crack her knuckles when she was a teen. I think she long ago stopped, though.

What is a nervous habit you have/had?

Do you like taking care of indoor or outdoor plants more?

I have had better success with outdoor flowers. But I like having them indoors too.

What is your favorite urban myth?

Big foot. We went Big Foot hunting as a fun field trip in junior high and I've always remembered that day.

Have you ever considered writing your memoirs?

Yes, a draft is half written.

Which tend to be worse, your depressions or manias?

Pre-clozaril both were awful because I always went severely mixed very quickly and it was always a battle to get me out. Now it's probably depression but only because it takes longer to get a response to the AD than to my AP's boost dose for mania.

Do you always wake at the same time in the middle of the night?

Not since I was a teenager.

Have you ever been up in the mountains (over 5000 feet)?

That I actually use? 3 (well one is a ski forum so I haven't touched that since Feb but probably will again come October). I have a lot more accounts that I used for like a week then logged out and never logged back in again though.

What are you most proud of?

Mr. Pine's Mixed-up Signs (A sign painter loses his glasses & starts putting signs in places they don't belong. Chaos ensues.)

What was your favorite novel/short story in high school?

The Pedestrian by Bradbury I was heavy into sci fi in high school. Actually anything by the ABCs of sci fi and Heinlein.

What was your favorite book ever?

Between Walden by Henry David Thoreau and Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman.

How much of you is much the same as you were as a child?

I'd say a fair amount. I'm still shy although I'm also able to be assertive now. I enjoy many of the same things. I'm a lot happier. I do better because I'm on meds I desperately needed by my teens if not before.

What did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be Indiana Jones for a while. Daring adventurer visiting foreign lands while learning about the world? What's not to love? At least for me!

Have you ever taken something apart to see how it works?
