You know, I always thought that Nintendo's Wii was just a really active hobby, but now I'm wondering if I'm not getting a litle TOO attached. I recently answered someone's questions with responses "off the top of my head". Since I reference the Wii, I thought I'd share my answers:

1. Do you have a college degree?
   Yes, Bachelor of Arts degree: Major in Communication and Information Arts, Minor in Anthropology

13. Did you use the internet to write a research paper?
    It wasn't really around for me back when I was in grade/high school.
14. Have you attended a high school reunion?
    Yep, one. I had dinner with the classmates at the Hard Rock Cafe in Station Square for my 10-year HS anniversary.
15. How many jobs have you held in your professional career?
    One that's my 'day-job'. Four or five that are 'hobbies'.
16. Have you ever been fired or laid off from a job?
    Nope. (Well, I don't think so. Does a person not coming back for more web design work count?)
17. What is your favorite drink?
    Flavored Cruzan Rum.
18. What is the most expensive bottle of wine that you have in your residence?
    Beats me. I just finished an Italian bottle that I was given as a housewarming present from my aunt. I really don't buy wine... that often.
19. Have you been divorced?
    Nope.
20. How old were you when you stopped getting ID'd for Alcohol?
    I still get carded when I buy alcohol.
21. Favorite casino?
    None. Did you ever notice that a lot of Casinos seem to have mirrored decorations and indoor carpeting everywhere. Why is THAT?
22. Are you happier now than you were in high school?
    Eh, sure, why not. I'm still alive. I was kind of an AAA back in HS. I was happy, but kind of an AAA.

24. Do you remember when Michael Jackson was black and was attracted to older people?
    Yep. And do you remember the Moonwalker video game? Ha! That thing was bad, but interestingly cool at the time.

31. Do you have any children yet?
    Yes, one, its name is Wii.

Yeah, I know, really long until you get to the point where I mention the Wii, BUT that was my first instinct and I stuck with it. (Plus I made a few desktop wallpaper images today...) Maybe I've always been using imaginary computer generated environments to escape/improve my current reality.
