The rumba is the dance of love. Look at me like you're in love.

1. Some people believe in making grand plans for their own future. Some have a 10-year plan, others have a 5-year plan, and some have only a 1- or 2-year plan. What kind of plan do you have, if any?
   I need groceries, which I'll buy within the next couple of days. And I'm looking for a new money-making venture. Beyond that, 'Mann tracht und Gott lacht'.
2. Are your closest friends more likely to within your gender or the opposite?
   my closest friends are typically same-gendered, but I've got lots of good guy friends without whom I can't imagine my life, at all
3. What is the last printed periodical — newspaper or magazine — that you read on paper?
   the hometown newspaper, for sure. I read it online in my normal life, but when I'm there, I read it the way I always did growing up: the paper spread open on the floor, and me crouched over it (on bent knees). That's also the only way I can wrap Christmas presents. When I try to do that at a table, I invariably end up moving to the floor.
4. Of the last ten times you communicated with your phone, which of the following types of communication did you use the most: phone call, text message, tweet or Facebook posting?
   they were probably all texts. I'm not a big phone talker, tweeting is for birds, and FB is enough of a hassle when limited to standard computer use.
5. You decide to make Jell-O for dessert: which flavor is your favorite?
   "red"
6. If you could arrange a private showing of any classic film at a big theater to experience it the way theater-goers did when it was actually on the big screen, which film would you choose?
   I would love to have seen Baz Luhrmann's Strictly Ballroom at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received a 15-minute standing ovation. It is the rare non-action movie that always has me out of my seat at the end - and in tears.
