Here's mine..


1.Batman or Superman?  Gotta love a man who can fly and who can check out my undies without buying me drinks first...

2.Best Date: Dinner and a movie or hang out with a group of friends? Either has its merits. If you've met them before, dinner and a movie but if you don't know them yet, hanging out with a group can be a good way to break the ice for shy people like myself..  *blush*

3.Pizza: Loaded or Pepperoni? Neither.  Sorry.  Pizza tends to be a once a year affair

4.When you speak in front of a group, you:  Are calm and direct OR very nervous  In front of kids, I'm fine. In front of adults I can hold it together fairly well, but on the inside, I'm all Gwyneth-during-her-oscars-speech..

5.When you’re sick : be babied/taken care of  OR. Want to be left alone  If its a flu, I love to be spoilt rotten, if its anything else, bugger off and let me sleep.

6.Perfume/Cologne/After Shave?  Yes or No   Yes, yes, YES.

7.p/c/as For yourself or others?   See above.

8.When a relationship ends:  avoid each other OR stay friends  For me, avoid each other.  I've tried the friends thing and it just NEVER works.

9.At the Beach you:  Tan, Swim OR guy/girl watch  Errr... watching my son, does that count?

10 People consider you:
* outgoing and witty  OR
*  shy and quiet  OR
*  rude and obnoxious

Mixture of the first 2.  ::)

11You consider yourself: 
*average,
*above average,
*intellectual
*a nerd

Nerd, sorry. Nerd all the way, I love my books ;D

Renting a movie on a Saturday Night: 
*comedy OR
*sci-fi/horror  OR
*action/adventure  OR
*romance  OR
*foreign/ independent

Renting?  I think I own every dvd exept Crash known to man!!!!   ;D ;D  (see "nerd comment above.. hehee)

Dogs or Cats? dogs.

In the Yard or in the house?  House.

Football or Baseball?  Zzzzzzzzz...

Brokeback Mountain or Crash?: ( sorry could not resist)  I am not going to dignify that with a response.. pfftt.

Heath or Jake?:  Jake. Jake JAKE..

Jack or Ennis?:  Jack. Jack. JACK!

You see a guy/girl you would like to get to know. . . you:
*have a friend introduce you
*be bold and introduce yourself
*wait for them to make a move..... Yup, I'm kinda old fashioned..
*do nothing, they probably won’t like you

Coke or Pepsi?: Neither. I don't dig soft drink.

What childhood memory makes you happiest?  I actually don't remember much about my childhood. Probably Xmas morning, I guess... I don't remember it well.

1. Superman

2. Idea of a good time Best Date: Great conversation, usually one-on-one

4.When you speak in front of a group, you:  Calm and direct - I love public speaking

5.When you’re sick : Leave me alone!!!

6.Perfume/Cologne/After Shave?  Perfume -Yes

7.p/c/as For moi, but of course.  I've been wearing the same frangrance sine I was a teenager.  It's not even sold in stores anymore, but I order it over the Internet.  I never wear anything else, and I wear it every day.

8. I only do friends - why not stay that way...

9.At the Beach you:  do not go to the beach - it just bores me

10 People consider you:  I'm going to say outgoing and witty, but others might disagree...

11You consider yourself:  intellectual, but only in the sense of the options offered here.  I'm not a classic intellectual in any sense of the word

Renting a movie on a Saturday Night:  I really always prefer at least some comedy, even in my dramas.  BBM is a bit of a departure for me.

Cats...always cats, and not just in the house, but in my lap.

Football or Baseball?  I don't really do spectator sports.

Brokeback Mountain or Crash?: ( sorry could not resist) Gosh - it's so close, hmmmmmmmmmm

Heath or Jake?:   Jack or Ennis - can't have one without the other.

Coke or Pepsi?:  Water mostly, but Diet Coke over Pepsi any day.  Actually, it's Diet Dr. Pepper!

What childhood memory makes you happiest?  Have to think about is.  I didn't like being a kid at all.

1.Batman or Superman? Tough - I love all of Batman's toys - but in the end, Superman.  He can fly.

2.Best Date: Dinner and a movie or hang out with a group of friends? Hang out with a group of friends, no question (here's to Team Tremblay - Santa Monica Squad!)

3.Pizza: Loaded or Pepperoni? Sausage only.  If they don't have GREAT sausage, Hawaiian style.

4.When you speak in front of a group, you:  Are calm and direct OR very nervous Really nervous inside, but I do it a LOT for my job, so I'm calm, but not very direct.

5.When you’re sick : be babied/taken care of  OR. Want to be left alone  When I was younger, wanted to be babied, but now just leave me alone!

6.Perfume/Cologne/After Shave?  Yes or No Body powder.  (Sorry, was that too gay even for this board?)

7.p/c/as For yourself or others? Say I'm stupid, but I don't get the question.

8.When a relationship ends:  avoid each other OR stay friends Yeah, pretty much like the plague.

9.At the Beach you:  Tan, Swim OR guy/girl watch People watch, thank you very much (I'm a terrible surfer).

10 People consider you:
* outgoing and witty  OR Outgoing, definitely.  Witty?  Maybe once a year if I'm lucky.
*  shy and quiet  OR
*  rude and obnoxious

11You consider yourself: 
*average,
*above average,
*intellectual
*a nerd (but secretly style myself an intellectual.)  Physically average, on a good day.

Renting a movie on a Saturday Night: 
*comedy OR
*sci-fi/horror  OR
*action/adventure  OR
*romance  OR
*foreign/ independent  Why is this so hard to answer?  I have to say, probably sci-fi, as long as it's really well done.

Dogs or Cats? Have cats now, but grew up with/love dogs the best.

In the Yard or in the house? While I love Sunset magazine and Modernism with its indoor-outdoor theme, I like to be inside most of the time.  Makes camping/boating all the more special.

Football or Baseball? For professional it's baseball (barely, e.g., I really didn't start watching alone until the Red Sox beat the Yankees in '04) BUT we all know College Football takes up my time Saturdays in the fall. (mlewisUSC, after all)

Brokeback Mountain or Crash?: ( sorry could not resist) I don't even have a good, funny answer.

Heath or Jake?: Jake, I think.  Yeah.  Jake.  Didn't really like either until BBM.

Jack or Ennis?: Oddly enough, given the above answer, Ennis.  I think a LOT of this comes from the Story, too.

You see a guy/girl you would like to get to know. . . you:
*have a friend introduce you
*be bold and introduce yourself
*wait for them to make a move
*do nothing, they probably won’t like you When you say, "Get to know . . ." what, exactly, are you implying?

Coke or Pepsi?: Pepsi without question.  In fact, call me a Communist, but I LOVED New Coke!

What childhood memory makes you happiest? Sorry, I have three: 1. my best friend Erik and I (still hang with him, 30 years later) sitting in my room building with the legos; 2. my dad taking me to look at the new model cars and pick up the brochures back when all the cars were introduced the same week in September or October; 3. Mom and I doing summers in Europe.

BTW, why can I hear Deborah Kerr singing in my head while I'm writing this post? "Day by day . . . "

1.Batman.  Angst is sexy.

2.Best Date: Dinner and a movie.  Well, movie, then dinner, so you can gab about it while wrestling for the garlic bread.

3.Pizza: Pepperoni  I like a few mushrooms in there, too.  No olives, or I'll have to kill you.

4.When you speak in front of a group, you:  Are calm and direct OR very nervous.  Bit of both, really.  I like to think I look calm, but in reality am probably a mess.

5.When you’re sick : be babied/taken care of.  I am NOT the stoic kind.  I suffer.  I want someone to feed me pills and soup and wipe my fevered brow.  Actually, I've been sick and alone in some pretty dodgy places, and it's scary.  Amoebic dysentery while you're solo in Ethiopia is not a good scene. 

6.Perfume/Cologne/After Shave?  Yes.  Paris, by Yves St. Laurent, if you want to know.

7.p/c/as For yourself or others?  No entiendo.  So, whereas I was going to put "above average", I now realize that I am just "dumb as a post".

8.When a relationship ends:  Never, ever again unless it is absolutely impossible to avoid, and even then I'd probably hide in the ladies'.

9.At the Beach you:  I am a champion wave-jumper.  Also a champion ocean swallower.

10 People consider you:
* outgoing and witty  OR
*  shy and quiet  OR
*  rude and obnoxious
Probably outgoing (I have doubts about the witty part), although I'm really quite shy.  I've devised some pretty elaborate coping strategies over the years.

11You consider yourself: 
*average,
*above average,
*intellectual
*a nerd 
E) None of the above.  Dumb as Post.

Renting a movie on a Saturday Night: 
*comedy OR
*sci-fi/horror  OR
*action/adventure  OR
*romance  OR
*foreign/ independent
I generally hang out in the Drama section.  Can I say that?  I'm being contrary.  I'm saying Drama.  But I do have a terrible, terrible weakness for spy flicks.  How embarrassing is that?

Dogs or Cats? Cats, but only by a small margin, and really only because they mostly take care of themselve.  I don't dig picking up poop.

In the Yard or in the house? House.  But in beautiful weather, I am out into the garden like a heat-seeking missile.

Football or Baseball? Um, neither?  My dad would kill me if I didn't say baseball.  Baseball.

Brokeback Mountain or Crash?: ( sorry could not resist) 

Heath or Jake?: Jake.  It's the dreamy, dreamy eyes.

Jack or Ennis?: Jack

You see a guy/girl you would like to get to know. . . you:
*have a friend introduce you
*be bold and introduce yourself
*wait for them to make a move but bat my eyelashes at them in a seductive way.  Or is that an oxymoron?
*do nothing, they probably won’t like you

Coke or Pepsi?: Diet Coke.  I have a habit.  I should really do something about it.  One of these days.

What childhood memory makes you happiest?  One winter when I was about eight, London got a whole heap of snow, and everything shut down.  My Dad took me and a couple of friends out to Battersea Park for The Best Snowball Fight Ever.  He grew up in Boston, so he's truly expert in the snowball-making department, and I got my ass whipped so badly.  It was great.  Then we had hot chocolate with too many marshmallows, and fell asleep in front of the fire.

1.Batman or Superman?  Batman.  Definitely.

2.Best Date: Dinner and a movie or hang out with a group of friends?  Dinner and a movie - both of *my* choosing.  ;)

3.Pizza: Loaded or Pepperoni?  Pepperoni

4.When you speak in front of a group, you:  Are calm and direct OR very nervous  Calm and direct.  I used to be just the opposite - in fact there was a very long time when I would describe speaking in public as my worst fear.  It took having a child and surviving a very serious bout of post-partum depression to make me fearless.  I actually kind of enjoy it, now.

5.When you’re sick : be babied/taken care of  OR. Want to be left alone  Be babied/taken care of.  Trouble is, my husband has never gotten this.  My Mom used to bring me coloring books and a brand-spankin'-new box of 64 Crayola Crayons from the Wegman's (store) when I was home sick with a cold and we'd color together.

6.Perfume/Cologne/After Shave?  Yes or No  Not on me, but I love, cheesy as it sounds, my husband's Old Spice.  But only on him - doesn't meld as well with any other man's chemistry.

7.p/c/as For yourself or others?  Here, if you mean what my favorites are, when I do wear perfume, it's CK One or Obsession, depending on my mood.  For my partner, it's Old Spice.

8.When a relationship ends:  avoid each other OR stay friends  Avoid each other.  Stay friends?  What the hell is THAT?  Actually, there was one guy I was able to do that with years ago.  Still don't know why.  I loved him, but just knew we weren't meant to be and I was cool with that.  Where did THAT girl go, anyway?

9.At the Beach you:  Tan, Swim OR guy/girl watch  All of the above.

10 People consider you:
* outgoing and witty  OR
*  shy and quiet  OR
*  rude and obnoxious
I like to think outgoing and witty, but I'm afraid in some cases it's rude and obnoxious.

11You consider yourself: 
*average,
*above average,
*intellectual
*a nerd
Above average.  Barely.

Renting a movie on a Saturday Night: 
*comedy OR
*sci-fi/horror  OR
*action/adventure  OR
*romance  OR
*foreign/ independent 
Foreign/independent, unless there's a *really* good comedy out.

Dogs or Cats?  Dogs.  Like cats, too, but I'm terribly allergic to them.  And truth told, I prefer dogs (and cats who act like dogs).

In the Yard or in the house?  In the house.

Football or Baseball?  Definitely football, though in recent years I'm not as into it as I used to be.  Looks too much like modern gladiator fighting.  Kind of makes me sick in my pacifist old age.

Brokeback Mountain or Crash?: ( sorry could not resist)  I'm not even gonna dignify that with an answer.  ;)

Heath or Jake?:  Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, and Jake.

Jack or Ennis?:  I adore them both and want to comfort them endlessly.

You see a guy/girl you would like to get to know. . . you:
*have a friend introduce you
*be bold and introduce yourself
*wait for them to make a move
*do nothing, they probably won’t like you
Used to be I'd have a friend introduce us.  And then he'd like the friend!  So screw that.  I'd be bold and introduce myself.  Nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Coke or Pepsi?:  Coffee.  I'm trying to cut down on stuff that can actually dissolve petrified battery acid in one's car.

What childhood memory makes you happiest?  Walking across frozen Canandaigua Lake when I was 15.  It was absolutely silent except for the water rushing two feet beneath me - kind of like a dull roar.  I felt I was invincible.  I realize now I was just incredibly foolish.  But I still picture that time whenever I most need calming down.

1.Batman or Superman? Batman - LOVE Batman. He's a real person. No magical powers from a far off planet, no genetically manipulated spider bite and he can fail (btw, I like Spiderman too, just not as much as Batman)

2.Best Date: Dinner and a movie or hang out with a group of friends? Dinner and a movie

3.Pizza: Loaded or Pepperoni? What's Loaded?

4.When you speak in front of a group, you:  Are calm and direct OR very nervous. Calm and direct, I did public speaking

5.When you’re sick : be babied/taken care of  OR. Want to be left alone  Uhh... depends, I'm moody so I switch between both every hour.

7.p/c/as For yourself or others? Perfume for myself - Cool Water

8.When a relationship ends:  avoid each other OR stay friends. After time we go back to being friends, but there is always an awkward couple of months

9.At the Beach you:  Tan AND Swim - Love the beach

10 People consider you:
* outgoing and witty
I'm loud. Like LOUD.

11You consider yourself: 
*above average

*comedy OR
*romantic
I like feel good movies

Brokeback Mountain or Crash?: I actually haven't seen Crash so I can't answer (and I refuse to let my friend be right when he said I'm just biast towards Brokeback cos I love it)

Heath or Jake?: JAKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE

Jack or Ennis?: Argh, this is a horrible question. I can't answer

You see a guy/girl you would like to get to know. . . you:
*do nothing, they probably won’t like you
I have self esteem issues

Coke or Pepsi?: Coke, I'm a coke addict (gave it up for Lent so haven't had it for 42 days but come Sunday :D)

What childhood memory makes you happiest? Probably all the ones involving my Opa (grandfather). He was my best friend.
I've learnt that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in!

1.Batman or Superman?  Superman. He's got a big secret.  He's the only of his kind (alien) and he seems so modest given his superpowers. Who woulnd't wanta fly.

2.Best Date: Dinner and a movie or hang out with a group of friends?
Dinner and a movie. I like hangin with friends, it's hard to be personable with a date when your with a group of ppl.

4.When you speak in front of a group, you:  Are calm and direct OR very nervous. Rarely happens, speaking to a group. I would tend to get nervous when having to do it as most of the subjects I've spoken on don't seem to engage the audience, which gets me nervous. Talking on BBM would get me going!

In the Yard or in the house? House

Football or Baseball? Football, though I'm apreciating baseball more so. Not a sportsguy, regardless.

Brokeback Mountain or Crash?: ( sorry could not resist)

Heath or Jake?: JAKE, so classy, calm and composed, articulate.

Great idea Vic, lets hope this doesn't turn into another hair-colour related fiasco.

1.Batman or Superman?  Although I think that Clark Kent's peronality would be more suited to me, there is something that draws me to Batman, maybe it is his secretive personality.

2.Best Date: Dinner and a movie or hang out with a group of friends? Dinner and MOVIE as long as I get to choose the movie!

3.Pizza: Loaded or Pepperoni?  I don't know what loaded is but my favourite topping is pineapple, without the ham as I am a white vegitarian.(i.e only eat chicken and fish)

4.When you speak in front of a group, you:  Are calm and direct OR very nervous:
Very nervous, I tend to ramble when I am nervous and so it don't really seem nervous if I have something to say cause my rambling normally elaborates the point of what I am saying.

5.When you’re sick : be babied/taken care of  OR. Want to be left alone: Left alone! Even when I had a concussion I was like, "I am fine, just leave me alone!" until I fell over.

6.Perfume/Cologne/After Shave?  Yes, only on special occasions

7.p/c/as For yourself or others? don't get the question.

8.When a relationship ends:  avoid each other, hey you wanted space I give you space OR stay friends: avoid each other, hey you wanted space I give you space but then eventually become friends again.

9.At the Beach you:  Tan, Swim OR guy/girl watch: I love to swim! My mum has always said I was a water baby and I tan quite easily. But it doesn't hurt to guy watch while swiming.

10 People consider you:
* outgoing and witty
Most of the time, but sometimes I can be shy.

11You consider yourself:
*average,
I am not that clever, people say I am, but they are lying, I know I am really as dumb as a post.

Renting a movie on a Saturday Night: 
*comedy OR
*romance
Although any film with Jake in will do!


Dogs or Cats?Dogs rule, cats drool! Bonus points if you know what film that line is from That would be from Homeward Bound OR Cats and Dogs. Sorry I am a fan of furry films! I would have to say Cats rule and dogs drool! Cause I have my very own sassie! But I am a dog and a cat person. I  don't favour any animal over another (true wannabe vet speaking)

In the Yard or in the house? House, but if it is nice and sunny(which is not a regular occurence) I like to saunter around my garden!

Football or Baseball?  I would have to say Baseball, football just bores me!

Brokeback Mountain or Crash?: Do you even have to ask that question! I will answer you question with another: How good can a film with Ludacris in be? A: not very!

Heath or Jake?: JAKE most definitley, as many of you will know from my quest to become invisible! But as the famous saying goes: I wouldn't kick Heath out of bed!

Jack or Ennis?:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOh tough one! As neither would want me, but I think I will have to go with Jack

You see a guy/girl you would like to get to know. . . you:
*have a friend introduce you
*be bold and introduce yourself
*wait for them to make a move * I like to think this one, most of the time.
*do nothing, they probably won’t like you* but as chantelle full well knows if was a case of this with the German a couple of weeks ago.

Coke or Pepsi?: I am my mothers daughter, so I will go for Coke. My mum could drink cases of coke if she wanted. She is mad I tell you, mad.

What childhood memory makes you happiest?  I tend to think family holidays, but I know this will sound cheesey: just a Sunday in with my family. This was one of the rare sunday when my sister was in a good mood and we would all just sit down and play board games and joke around.

Okay, here goes:

1. Superman--I like how you can see his face, and I like the sweet curl in his forelock. I'm terrified of flying, but I like to think I'd feel safe in Superman's arms.

2. Quiet dinner and movie at home--sheer bliss!

3. Pepperoni, for sure.

4. I'm very nervous--have horrible memories of flubbing up in high-school speech class.

5. I tend to want to be alone when sick, but am comforted in knowing that someone is nearby if I need them.

6. I don't usually use any of these products. But I do like cologne and after shave on other men!

7. See #6.

8. I haven't tended to remain friends with exes, but am not adverse to the idea in principle.

9. I swim at the beach.

10. I think people find me shy and quiet.

11. I have interests that most people would label as intellectual. But I'm a man of simple tastes.

12. I have a particular love for foreign/independent films.

13. I'm raising three cats with my sister.

14. I'm not into sports, but I find baseball more interesting from an historical point of view. Love those bulky football players, though!

15. "Brokeback Mountain" is my all-time favorite movie.

16. Jake Gyllenhaal seems like such a sweetheart, so I'll go with him.

17. I am more drawn to Ennis--there's something in this beautiful character that touches my heart very deeply.

18. I usually muster up sufficient boldness to chat with someone to whom I feel attracted. I have been known to enlist the help of friends from time to time.

19. I prefer Coke.

20. My first visit to Disneyland when I was about nine was like going to Heaven--I really was that excited.

Cheers,
Scott

I only want to comment on one question.

Superman is great for a number of reasons.  He's an alien with superhuman powers, the last of his kind, who was brought up with the values of a Kansas farmboy.  He's the most honorable guy in comics, the one nearly every other hero tries to be like.  I also like his whole environment and supporting cast.  Lois, Jimmy, Perry, Luthor, Metropolis, etc.  My favorite run of Superman was back in the early 90's when he had good writers on each of his 3 titles.

You might have heard about the storyline where he died around '93.  That made the news.  That story sucked, but everything following that, leading up to his return, was outstanding.

Batman is an interesting character.  Driven by vengence and a sense of responsibility to do what he can to make sure no other child goes through what he did, to the point where he often resembles the maniacs he fights, in terms of obsession.  He's a master of everything from detective work to martial arts.  What makes the Joker his greatest adversary is that Batman is a creature of logic and deduction.  Because the Joker is completely insane he's completely unpredictable.  Commissioner Gordon is a great character as well.  Always has been in the comics.  So glad they finally made him worthwhile in the last movie.  Other than Gordan and Alfred, another great one, most of Batmans supporting cast wear costumes; Robin, Catwoman, Nightwing (Dick Grayson, the original Robin who has long since grown up and assumed another identity).  Batman has a great cast of villians!  In that he has Superman beat hands down.

I'd have to say Superman is more Jack-like, out-going, trying to be as true as he can, and Batman takes after Ennis, the darker guy living in a cave, doing what he can to keep the darkness reigned in, never able to beat it.

Okay, that was overstating things.
