Music-wise, what was the first 45, single or download you bought?
Submitted by Paddy Melt Wagon.
First 45 single purchased by my own hand:
Can I also tag onto this that I'm currently completely obsessed with Timbaland! What the hell?
Would you go on vacation by yourself, and if so where would you go?
Submitted by Sean & Stefan.
Well, yeah. If I had to wait around for someone else to hold my hand to do everything I wanted to do I'd never go anywhere or do anything!
I went to Paris by myself - though I did meet up with a couple of friends there for part of the trip - and to Italy by myself. Honestly, I sort of prefer going alone though a meet up for a day or two here or there is fine. Otherwise, I mean, I need my alone time to wander museums and go for walks and buy gelato. I don't want someone tagging along all the time, I'd go crazy!
With the exception of wanting to go to Poland with my Dad (BILLY, I KNOW YOU READ THIS - Get on it already!), I'd like to see the rest of Europe and I'm perfectly happy - and probably prefer - to do it alone.
How many email addresses do you have? What are they for?
Submitted by clippedwings.
Oh... dozens at least.
I have 2 at work domains (plus multiple formats that feed into these two main ones) + a work Gmail address.
I have two main hosted domains, one has about 3 different addresses on it, another has 6. All of those feed into my personal Gmail account which I now use for just about everything.
I have a professional sort of Yahoo address + a throwaway type Yahoo address.
Those are at least the ones I keep track of!
What do you absolutely refuse to eat?
By choice, I don't eat:
shellfish (exception: crab cakes, which is like the McDonald's of shellfish; and I recently tried fried calamari and they were good - so basically, there's a "fried" exception in the making)
avocado (small bits might be okay)
olives
cauliflower or brussel sprouts - the smell of these cooking actually make me hurl, but I don't mind them being around after they're cooked or if they're raw. I just won't like to eat them much.
Those are the sort of basic things that I say when people ask me what I might not eat if, say, I'm coming over to dinner. But I can pick around them. Unless you have some allergy or health concern or are a committed vegetarian/vegan I think it kind of rude to 'absolutely refuse' to eat something - or at least be willing to eat around it. I ate a lot of stuff in Thailand that I could only vaguely identify so I think if I didn't know what something was or what was in it, I'd probably be just fine eating anything.

What was the one toy you wanted as a kid that your parents never bought you?
Submitted by Princess of Darkness.
A Mr. Potato Head. And a Spirograph. I STILL want a Spirograph, dammit!
What's the next country you want to visit?
Submitted by Schomer.
What a timely question.
I'd like to go to China and Japan. I'm working on a trip to India but that's pretty far off. I'd also really like to go to Spain.
What word(s) do you always make a typo in?
It's not so much a typo as I always, always have to think hard about its/it's - if I don't it'll be apparent because I will invariably choose the wrong one.
When I was in Grade 7 I wrote a whole paper on the Canadian system of 'goverment'.
If you could open a restaurant, any kind you want, what would it look like and what's on the menu?
Submitted by A is for Amy.
I believe it is well-known that I would like to open up an all-toast restaurant.
