17. What is your favorite board game? Balderdash

18. Have you ever played Dungeons & Dragons? No.

19. If you were granted ONE wish by a genie, what would you wish for?  That's a tough one.  On a personal level, I'd wish for a girlfriend.  On a general level, I'd wish for greater understanding/communication/tolerance/acceptance amongst people in society across the board and across boundaries.

20. Who can you relate to more, Jack or Ennis? And why?  I think of myself as being a bit more like Ennis, because in my real life I'm pretty introverted/ introspective.  I wish I had Jack's capacity for easy socializing, etc.

Are you sick and tired of hearing about the upcoming presidential election this November?  Yes, I am pretty tired of it now.  I was far more excited when Hillary was in the race.  Now that it's the general election, the whole decision is much easier and cut-and-dry.  I would have preferred Hillary, but I'll definitely vote for Obama.  Now I feel like the whole general election campaign is just going to drag on.

23. If you decided to learn a new foreign language, which language would you choose, and why? I would really just like to get a lot better at French, which is my best foreign language at the moment... but I wish it was better. It's the most important language for my line of work/ specialty.  I can read it and write it pretty well, but I'm too, too, too self-conscious when it comes to speaking/conversation.

24. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?  I would love to live in London or someplace in England someday.

25. Read any good books lately?  I just re-read Sarah Waters' book Affinity

[Brown Eyes]

8. Do you prefer sweetened ice tea or unsweetened? Tea? Unsweetened only, hot or cold. Coffee? I'm a brown sugar addict!

Hunh.  Now this is an interesting suggestion.  I've never thought of putting brown sugar in coffee... but it does sound good!

As I mentioned in my questionnaire, I like my tea unsweetened (that goes for both hot and cold tea), and for coffee I usually only use milk or cream.  Sometimes I do like it sweeter when I'm in the mood for something more decadent.  I'll try the brown sugar idea some time I think!

My Grandfather used to put honey and brown sugar in his coffee. Eww it was sweet! It tasted like cough syrup.
