Hey all! Just thought I would pass along this fantastic little "getting to know me/you" icebreaker. Go ahead...copy and paste, and do your own! 1. High heels or boots? [b]Much as heels can definitely create a visual enhancement on certain parts of the female gender’s body, I prefer a sturdy pair or hiking boots or steel-toed romper-stompers ;)[/b] 2. What time did you get up this morning? [b]Uh…think it was about 1110 Zulu (11:10 AM Eastern for those not into the military side of things ;D)[/b] 3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? [b]Alice In Wonderland 3D (yes, the Tim Burton one with Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter…I admit it, I caved to my female best friend’s puppy dog eyes)[/b] 4. What is your maiden name? [b]Lewis…same family name I’ve carried since I was officially listed as a legally-independent entity with rights and freedoms almost 27 years ago (rather than a foetus)[/b] 5. What is/are your favourite TV show(s)? [b]Honestly haven’t been watching much TV lately, which is ironic for someone who works for a satellite TV company…so I would have to say [i]Chuck[/i], [i]Doctor Who[/i], and [i]Castle[/i] for currently airing shows. Have a whole laundry list of shows that are no longer on the air, with the top spot being Joss Whedon’s cruelly cancelled Firefly.[/b] 6. What do you usually have for breakfast? [b]Don’t eat breakfast much these days, but when I do? OJ or apple juice and a granola bar if it’s lazy-ish day, OJ or apple juice and toast if I have to go somewhere nearby, and OJ or apple juice and a Timmie’s breakfast sandwich if I am long-hauling somewhere.[/b] 7. What is your middle name? [b]Actually have two: Huw and Gwyn[/b] 8. What food(s) do you dislike? [b]Nothing really comes to mind…will honestly eat anything put in front of me.[/b] 9. What is your favourite CD at the moment? [b]Not really my favourite per say, but I listened to my 20th Century Masters collection of top songs of 1983 about 3 complete times when I was driving to and from Toronto on a trip recently. Other than that? I find the majority of commercially released albums to be technically hit and miss, since I will love a few songs or audio tracks on an album, like a few others and the rest? Will either skip or mute the volume temporarily…doesn’t make much for “loving” an album. I guess the last album I was a fan boy over was The Best of James Bond (40th anniversary edition, I think), which is a collection of all the James Bond film themes up to Die Another Day plus a couple of related tracks.[/b] 10. What characteristic do you despise? [b]It’s a toss-up between egotism, stupidity and cruelty.[/b] 11. Favourite Clothing? [b]A tattered-looking fleece sweatshirt I got in my 2nd year of university. Was sort of my dorm job uniform, but it fits me so well and it’s warm in the right amount too![/b] 12. Anywhere in the world on vacation? [b]Hmm…would love to explore Australia, and I really wanna see more of the US besides NYC (which is a great city, don’t get me wrong). Willing to go any place really if I had the chance…[/b] 13. Are you an organized person? [b]Technically not…I have orderly piles of junk and mess ;)[/b] 14. Where would you retire to? [b]Good question…part of me wants to say Wales because it’s where my dad’s family is from, it’s spectacular country to experience and it’s where the family I know and care about live right now (other than my dad and brother, who are here in Canada).[/b] 15. What was your most recent memorable birthday? [b]My most recent one (no. 26), where I got to celebrate it with all of my close family, including relatives I had not seen in the flesh if over 20 years…except my recently deceased mother. That was the one black cloud on an otherwise fantastic day...[/b] 16. What are you going to do when you finish this? [b]Laundry…haircut maybe…write an e-mail to my family overseas…not sure for certain other than the laundry thing ;)[/b] 17. Furthest place you are sending this? [b]Not actually sure…the UK
