If the mind goes blank, steal a meme. Hopefully, that’ll buy you some time. But do it from a person kind enough to not get mad at you. 🙂

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
   My Grandfather. My real name is Crisostomo, btw. It’s a Greek word (according to a Greek friend) meaning golden mouth. However, most of the time, I’d rather have it glued shut.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
   A couple of days ago… while praying.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
   I do. I even have a name for the pieces of papers I write on. It’s called the X-Files.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
   Pastrami (preferably on rye with mustard)
5. DO YOU HAVE ANY KIDS?
   Yes. 2 Electrics and 4 acoustics. And a disobedient bass that’s about to be disowned.
6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
   No doubt! And the more, the merrier.
7. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
   Only when it’s funny. I am enraged when it is used to intentionally hurt someone. I think it’s cowardly.
8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
   All original parts intact. Though, at my age, I’m not sure if that’s good or bad.

   Years ago, I would have liked to. Today, I’d rather sit on a rocking chair holding a shotgun. Okay, a guitar.

    I’m embarrassed but… Fruit loops, Apple Jacks, Frosted Flakes, Cap’n Crunch… you get the idea.
11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
    Yes. But honestly, I’d rather be barefoot.

    Mint chocolate chip.
14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
    The combination of one’s voice and facial expression. I hate to say it but that’s where my first and final judgment of a person stems from. So, go ahead and spank me.
15. RED OR PINK?
    Used to be red. A year ago, I changed it to green. I must’ve mellowed out.
16. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
    That I am silently critical. Hate it, hate it, hate it!!!
17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
    I’d rather not say lest the pain comes back.
18. WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?
    Black pants, brown shoes.
19. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?
    Well, a friend of mine and I had Chinese buffet for lunch today. Needless to say, I’m skipping dinner and going straight for the mint chocolate chip ice cream.

    My own indecipherable murmurings. Musicwise, my last.fm is currently tagged to play Beatlesque power pop guitar oriented music.
21. IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?
    White. I’d like to think I’m long-lasting.
