First off,

- Why do you think strippers are slutty, money-greedy persons?
- You'd rather do something generically fun than something intellectual

These two only happened because I mis-read the question, and I've now re-written the wording to make sense.

*sweatdrop*

As for the rest:

1. I tried drag once, back in January, 1996. I had a serious crush on a drag queen named Corey, and spent a couple of days with him in Ottawa. He was the one who put me in drag, though his best efforts were abysmal. I just didn't have the body for it, and after about an hour's work, I still looked like Cindy Brady. We went out to a club and danced for awhile, then I came home and took off the makup.
   
   
2. As for talking fast, people used to complain about it, so I try to slow down. Sometimes, though, even now, I forget.
   
   
3. I make a distinction between pessimism and cynicism. I'm usually the person who notices the flaw or problem in a plan first. I don't give up in despair and declare it all meaningless, but it does mean I plan always for the worst. That's probably why I'm good with money, even though I don't care too much about it. I think I come across as optimistic, because this is a deeply cynical culture, so even a standard pessimist looks like an optimist.
   
   
4. The hole in my ear has closed over, several years past. I discovered I'm allergic to something in earrings, and it kept giving me a rash and getting infected. I gave up on earrings altogether after that :/
   
   
5. Are you sure you're not serious about the dead fish? ;)
   
   
6. My computer was custom built by a guy named Adam. He was a friend of montrealais's who built computers for fun, as a hobby. He built my computer for free (I only had to pay for the parts) because it gave him a chance to do something he loved on someone else's budget. He pieced it together from what he considered the best parts, and the most useful for my purposes.

any other questions...?
