What is your favorite classic video arcade game?
Submitted by northerngeek.

Pac-Man.  Probably because I was good at it.  I was also a fan of Q-Bert and Frogger, but Pac-Man was the one I always went back to.  I still like to play it, which is often pointed out to be "totally uncool."

Why do you think teenagers are involved in more car crashes than any other age group?

I think it's mostly inexperience combined with more congested roads that cause the most problems.  Oh, and probably the invention of cellphones - as I'm not sure there is a teenager today not obsessed with texting all the time.  But yeah, I think you're much more nervous behind the wheel and more likely to panic in a situation than someone who has been driving for ten years.

What is worse? Ignorance or apathy?
Submitted by SavageBart.

This is hard question because I'm not a big fan of ignorance and there are certain things I tend to get apathetic about...so I'm gonna seem like a hypocrit, but at least I'll own it.  I think apathy is worse.  Because you know what's going on and just don't care enough to do anything about it.  At least an ignorant fool doesn't know that there is better out there.

What's your "deal breaker" when it comes to relationships?

Distrust.  I'm one of those people who tends to trust people until they give me a reason not to.  Unfortunately, once I have a reason not too?  I don't tend to forgive-and-forget very easy.  One of my not-so-good qualities is my ability to hold grudges for years.  So yeah.  If I can't trust you, I can't have a relationship.

What do you collect?

TV shows on dvd.  I have a problem.  I'm trying to get better about what I actually purchase, but I do enjoy throwing on an episode of random shows when I'm bored.  Aside from that, I'm not really a collector of anything.  I tried to collect something when I was younger because my sister collected dolls and I felt weird and left out for not having something, but I get bored with things pretty fast.

If you had to teach something, what would you teach?

I'd teach history.  If I had to choose a specification, it'd be American History.  I love history.  I find it so fascinating.

What's your favorite thing about Monday?

It's Chuck and Heroes night.  Really, that's pretty much it and it gets me through the work day.

So? How are those resolutions going so far?

They're okay thus far.  I've been vaguely aware of my goals for the year whenever i do something, so at least, I'm trying to make conscious decisions.  Of course, there are days where I conciously choose wrong because that's how I roll.  Baby steps. 

What's your favorite winter activity?

Sitting in front of fire place, drinking hot chocolate, and reading a good book.  I'm sure there is nothing better in the world.

Which countries have you visited? Which countries are on your list to visit?

I've been to Spain, France, Ireland, and England.  I would love to travel the world, but the places at the top of my list are Italy, Australia and Japan.
