["The Quiet Angel" ] Re: ET: fill in the blank thingy ["israel freeland" Subject: ET: Re: funny intro!!! Man... My intro was like, 4 lines... everybody else has been writing essays. :) I wanna try again. Way to make me feel inadequate, everybody. Now I'll have to go buy a shiny little sports car to compensate, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. :) FULL NAME: Kevin Bruce Pease LOCATION: Millbury, MA AGE: 23 BIRTHDAY: 3/21/75 ("I was born at night, but not last night, baby...") SIGN: Aries HAIR COLOR: plain ol' brown, awfully short. (Both 'cause it's easy to maintain that way, and because my hair just won't do ANYTHING when it's longer) EYE COLOR: A hazel-ish brown-ish green-ish type color. :) HEIGHT: 6'1, give or take a quarter inch. I think I'm shrinking as I get older. :) WHAT SPORT(S) DO YOU PLAY?: Street Hockey, Soccer, Volleyball, mountain biking, and as soon as I get the money to buy myself a pair, roller blades. PETS: 1 Cat, Cedric; 1 Scottish Terrier, Kaylee FAVORITE COLOR(s): earth tones... tans, greens, browns, occasionally blues... don't really care for brights. MOVIE(s): Princess Bride, Contact, Clerks/Mallrats/Chasing Amy, Swingers, Silence Of The Lambs, pretty much anything with Jodie Foster, I dig her movies. There's others I can't think of right now. FAV TYPE OF MUSIC: Rock, Folk, Pop, Country, Jazz... most types, really... TALK SHOW(s): Ugh. If I had to pick one, it would have to be Jerry Springer, just because he always gets the lowest common denominator. NIGHT TIME SOAP OPERA(s): Uh? I don't watch any nighttime soaps, unless X-Files or ER count. AMUSEMENT PARK(s): Never been big on amusement parks. Sure, they're all fun and stuff - until somebody pukes. STORE : Barnes & Noble, Newbury Comics, Media Play PERFUME & COLOGNE: I don't wear cologne, and I'm not incredibly partial to any particular perfume on women. CARTOON(s): Tie between The Simpsons (I will not file frivolous lawsuits...) & The Tick (Honk if you love justice!) FLOWER: Hmm... I've always sorta liked peace lilies. (I *think* that's wha t they're called... ?) DO YOU PREFER... HERSHEY'S SYRUP OR NESTLE QUIK? Hershey's SILVER OR GOLD? I don't wear jewelry, but I think silver looks better, generally. PEN OR PENCIL? Pens, all the way - why write something if you plan to erase it? THE BEACH OR A SWIMMING POOL? The beach CDS OR RADIO? Depends, sometimes I'd rather listen to a CD, sometimes I'd rather listen to the radio. WHAT PHYSICAL TRAITS DO YOU NOTICE FIRST IN THE OPPOSITE SEX: Dark eyes & dark hair are always good, and a pretty smile. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN THE OPPOSITE SEX: First and foremost... a pulse. :) After that, a sense of humor, honesty, common sense, a little bit of intelligence. :) ARE YOU CURRENTLY CRUSHING ON "JUST A FRIEND?" Nope. WHO SHOULD MAKE THE FIRST MOVE? No real hard-and-fast rule, here, but I must admit (at the risk of sounding old-fashioned), that I've been sort of taken aback in the past when girls have come up to me... it's not really a turn-off, but it can be a little intimidating, depending on the approach. HOW DO YOU LET SOMEONE KNOW YOU ARE INTERESTED? Why in GOD'S NAME would you want to do that, and risk rejection? :) (Kidding) I just sort of... be friendly, I guess. :) I'm not big on the all-out full-frontal assault. :) DO YOU KISS & TELL? Nope... and I frequently get annoyed with my friends when they DO. DO YOU KISS ON THE 1ST DATE? Depends. I'm always willing, not always able. :) PICK A SONG TO DESCRIBE YOUR LIFE: I'd probably have to go with "It Ain't Easy Being Me," by Chris Knight. DO YOU... BELIEVE IN GHOSTS? Yes & no... I believe people have seen something, but whether or not it's a "spirit of the dead" in the traditional sense of ghost, I don't think so. WISH UPON A STARS? Not that I can recall... seems rather impractical. :) READ YOUR HOROSCOPE? For laughs. USE SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER? Yep. Clairol, Daily Defense Shampoo & Conditioner. I think the bottles are clever, and they don't stink. LIKE THUNDERSTORMS? Depends... if I'm inside & warm & dry, yes. If I'm outside IN them, no. OTHER STUFF: WHAT TIME DO YOU GO TO SLEEP? Generally between 1 and 2 am. WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE UP? Between 7 am and 9 am most days. WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR WALLS? Oak, I think? IF YOU COULD MEET ANYONE, WHO WOULD IT BE? My grandfather... he died when I was 2, and I never really got to "meet" him. TWIN, FULL, QUEEN, OR KING BED? Full, I guess? It's not queen, but it's not twin. And it's *too damned short* for me. BOXERS, BRIEFS, BIKINI, ETC. FOR YOU? FOR THE OPP. SEX? Boxers, unless I'm doing something real active, i.e. - playing sports. Then something a bit more... ehhhh... protective... is in order. On the opposite sex? No real preference, as long as it's not those big old lady briefs. :) IF YOU COULD BE ON ANY TALK SHOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I'd refuse any and all. WHAT'S THE WACKIEST THING YOU'VE EVER DONE? Hmm... Followed my high school math teacher home one time with some friends in order to placed a stuffed triceratops on his front doorstep later that evening with a note saying, "Please feed me"... and then on the way home, we got followed by these two guys, and my friend had his driver's side rearview mirror smashed by them. Started off sort of surreal, ended up in full-fledged abstraction. Long story, probably the weirdest day of my life. :) WHAT SCARES YOU? Hard to say what scares me the most... I do a lot of whistling in the dark. :) WHAT DO YOU REGRET MOST? Waiting too long to act, done it plenty of times. IF YOU HAD ONE DAY TO DO ANYTHING(FOR FREE), WHAT WOULD YOU DO? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I didn't want to do. WHAT'S ON YOUR PIZZA? I'm a plain pizza sort of guy, generally... occasionally, pineapple strikes my fancy. :) IF YOU COULD BE ANYONE FOR A DAY WHO WOULD YOU BE? Honestly? I think I'd stick with being me. It's what I know best... The grass is always greener over the septic tank, and all that. :) Now, having looked in that deep dark truthful mirror... I feel less inadequate. I still feel inadequate, just not *as* inadequate. :) Kevin - ---------- Kevin Pease kbpease@boston.crosswinds.net (ICQ UIN: 3106063) (AOL Instant Messenger: kbpease) http://www.crosswinds.net/boston/~kbpease "It's just another daybreak, I'm walking holes in the rug, It's just another sunrise, looking out of this hole I dug, It's just another morning, but it gets a little lonely now and then, But I'm one morning closer to having you back again..." ---(Jonathan Edwards, "One Day Closer")--- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Sep 1998 01:50:44 -0400 From: "The Quiet Angel" Subject: Re: ET: The way we were - -----Original Message----- From: JANE Date: Monday, September 21, 1998 9:33 PM > >Abel said: > >> grrr... memory seems to be failing me.
