31. Do you like your handwriting?
Yes. I think it is nice considering I am left handed, and have broken my arm 4 times. When I put effort into it of course.

Corn beef. But ham is more the usual.
33. What are you looking forward to?

34. Are you married?

I struggle to say no to free things, especially food. I also get a bit obsessive/compulsive about things, namely whether the automatic garage door went down or not.
36. What is your most embarrassing CD on the shelf?
The Bird Dance, and other party tunes.
37. If you were another person, would you be you?
Not sure what this question is asking, but in terms of would I be exactly the same - no, a lot of my personality is because of things that have happened and the environment. Would I want to be me? probably not, I would want to have a better body health-wise, and a more charismatic personality. Would I change who I am? I am always seeking improvement, and dealing with things, overall, I am happy with who I am and what I do, minus a few issues.
38. Are you a dare devil?
No, I am quite risk adverse. I think that is because I have broken my arm too many times, and have seen enough of hospitals. However, I make sure I live outside my comfort zone, if I didn't I wouldn't be doing anything.
39. Have you ever told a secret you swore not to tell?
Yes. One of them was that me and a friend discovered that another friend was gay when we looked in his computer. We said that we wouldn't tell him we knew, nor the other guys (at the hostel and school). I managed not to tell anyone else, but the gay friend annoyed me so much one night I eventually told him I knew his secret.

40. Do looks matter?
A bit. Personality is the deal-breaker. I wouldn't not be someones friend if they were ugly, and in terms of girls, I consider the overall package, personality being the most important. I ain't Brad Pitt so I can't demand anything looks-wise. Put it this way, I do tend to "shop up" ie am keen on girls that are "out of my league", but also have an open mind. I would rather marry a girl that is a little overweight, than one that is over-paranoid about her figure. Of course the effort is appreciated though.
41. Are you trendy?
I dance to my own beat. If people follow, thats up to them.
42. How do you release anger?
I guess I take it out on my parents or God, or let it well-up inside. None are good strategys. As they say, you always end up hurting those you love the most.
43. Where are your second homes?
Nana's in Huntly (she always feeds me if I drop in) & Suzanne and Bev's.
44. Do you trust others easily?
No. I was once a naive little country boy. City living and boarding school has made me cynical and wary about peoples motives.
45. What was your favorite toy as a child?
I sleep with my Golly until I was about 12.
46. What class in school do you think is totally useless?
None, I think they all had their uses.
47. Do you have a journal?
This is it.
48. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
No, hardly ever. I can't always pick up on it either, so I do unto others...
49. Have you ever been in a mosh pit?
No. I'm too laid back to mosh. I would rather sit down and relax
50. What do you look for in a girl?
Personality - kindness, integrity, self-discipline, a relationship with God. She also has to have a bit of brains, not so much educated, but not be trashy. I like girls with a bit of business acumen (well I am an accountant, it would be nice to be able to relate). Lookswise? I always find something I think is cute about a girl.
51. What are your nicknames?
JT is the main one. Suzanne (my sister) calls me J, and a friend of mine calls me Tommy, which is kind of cool. I want people to start calling me Tommy Gun...
52. Would u ever bungee jump?
Maybe. I would rather skydive. I am a risk adverse remember.
53. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
Generally
54. Do you think that you are strong?
Yes. Physically I am, at least everyone perceives me to be, so I get the heavy-lifting jobs. Personality-wise I believe I am, I wouldn't be here otherwise, I would have given up long ago.
55. What's your favorite Ice Cream Flavor?
Hokey Pokey, Orange Chocolate chip, Lime or spearmint chocolate chip. Marshmellow Coconut ice. Cookies and cream...
56. What's your favorite color?
Tractor/Neon Blue. Or green.
57. How many wisdom teeth do you have?
I have all of them, but they haven't come through.
58. Are you in love with anyone?
How do you define love? I don't have a girlfriend. I'd be a bit of a prick if I was going to Japan and I did. I am keen on two girls at the moment, however one is taken, and the other is "taken with someone else". If they have bothered to read this far, good on them, they deserve to know. I'm sweet with it all, I've been around long enough to get used to unrequitted feelings. I know God will provide the right girl if he wants.
59. How many people have a crush on you right now?
Not many, if any. If they do they should step up to the plate.
60. Who do you miss most right now?
Right now? "the man I used to be..." (George Bernard Shaw)
61. Who will I miss most?
Suzanne. Nana and Popa. Mum and Dad.

Dark blue denim shorts with the brown dye through them. What are you wearing?

Nothing but I will now turn on some music. Thanks for reminding me.
64. What was the last thing you ate?
Some beef jerky
65. How is the weather right now?
Overcast, with a bit of blue sky. It has been hot lately, but right now I am comfortable in a short sleeve rugby jumper.
66. Who is the last person you talked to on the phone?
Someone from our solicitors office, they wanted to speak to Mum or Dad. If it was our solicitors' PA, she is young and cute.

OK, in an unproductive mood.

77. Are you too shy to ask someone out?
I have asked someone before (at 16yo), via a Valentine's day card, but went over the top and scared her off, and semi-ruined the friendship. I almost asked a girl out via the phone (at 15yo) but chickened out right at the last minute as I didn't want to ruin her birthday (which was near then, and some of my excuse for ringing). I have been operating outside of my comfort zone girl-wise lately anyway, so if the right girl showed some interest I would attempt it.
78. Scary movies or happy endings?
Happy endings. I don't like being scared. But happy endings do get a bit chessy
79. Summer or winter?
Summer. I'm a November baby. However I get hot easy, and don't get so cold so I don't know. I like summer because of the holidays, and activities that summer is good for (swimming, camping etc)
80. Hugs or kisses?
That would depend on the person. However generally hugs. I am a little cautious that I aren't too free with hugs - I don't like taking what I don't think I have earned (ie mainly hugs from girls, especially ones I like.) In terms of kissing - I saved my first kiss for almost ever, and had valued it more than most people put on their virginity. I don't go kissing anyone other than my mother or Nana.
81. Relationships or one-night stands?
Relationships. Sex by itself would just be empty. I have more self-worth than that. Sex should be a by-product of love, not a substitute, or a recreational activity. Basically I want to be a full-time father, not a sperm donor.
82. What books are you reading?
I have recently finished "Rich Dad's Prophecy" by Robert Kiyosaki. I will then start reading "The Geisha Memoirs", and then "What I wish I learnt at school", then "I've been thinking" by Richard Prebble.
83. Favorite board game?
Monopoly
84. What did you watch on TV last night? Nothing
85. Favorite smells? Food. Daffidols. Some perfumes are nice.
86. What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning? What do I have to do today?
87. Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over?
Yes, that way we would still learn from our mistakes.
