1. Name or explain a childhood fear.
**I grew up near O'hare Airport, and I read way too many books about UFO's. I thought every plane going over at night was a UFO coming to take me away, and I'd hide underneath my blankets. And come close to asphyxiating myself.
2. What is one of your biggest fears in life now?
**Dying alone, unloved, in the gutter, surrounded by cats.
3. What's the scariest/most disturbing film you've ever seen in the tenure of your life? I mean, this stuck in your head days afterwards...
**Probably "Silence of the Lambs"...but movies don't really freak me out.
4. What do you do to take your mind off of things that upset you?
**Find something to giggle about. That, and the peyote helps.
5. Do you do anything somewhat superstitious "just in case?" Explain.
**nope.
6. Name or explain something dangerous you've done that you knew was dangerous.
**I learned how to eat fire when I was 19 years old--and it conquered my fear of fire.
7. Very morbid question: Have you ever been in a situation where the thought crossed your mind, even if for a brief moment, that you might honestly die (i.e. surgery, accident, gun to your head, etc)? Explain if you feel up to it.
**Hmm...actually, no. I had my teenage suicidal moment, and I have my, shall we say, "blue" periods, but I've never thought I was going to die, though I'm always ready.
8. Tension breaker question: If you were a super hero, what would your weakness be?
**CARBS!
Interesting poll, Trent.
