Before I even start this, just be aware that this is supposed to be one of those "Bzoink" surveys but their server is down so I'm winging it. The results may not be pretty, and you know it's damned long. But it's a good one, so try and stick it out.

favorite
color: gray
food: fresh peaches
candy: sour cherry balls
type of cheese: eh; I'm not such a fan. I'll eat mozzarella, hot. I do really like Cheez Whiz on Ritz crackers.
pizza topping: Canadian bacon.
salad dressing: vinaigrette, at Al Capone's Hideaway outside St. C. I've really got to get back there someday.
sandwich: Roast beef on tender (not squishy) white, with a chewy crust that doesn't fall apart in your lap, with yellow mustard - tangy but not sour - and crisp but dry lettuce, green bell peppers and dill pickle slices.
cereal: it varies. At the moment, I could live and die with Honey-Comb.
fruit: besides fresh peaches? Blackberries, then.
vegetable: corn. Or peas, as fresh as possible. (I love them pulled straight from the garden and shelled into my mouth.)
berry: besides blackberries? Raspberries, then.
cake: Texas sheet cake. Moist, tender, full of flavor but not too sweet. The mouth memory of my childhood.

story from childhood: I won an Attendance Award (perfect attendance) for 1st grade. The certificates were handed out at the beginning of 2nd grade. One of my classmates, a boy named John Paul, gave me a note that day. The note was written on a tiny piece of notebook paper and had crayoned flowers on it, and it said the following: "I know you are the winner, but I do not know why." I still have that note, about 30 years later.

memory you miss the most: I miss being able to see life without potential liability. The pre-law days.
memory you want to forget: Just one? trading peace of mind for "security" - before I found that they are one in the same, after all
something you regretted after it was done: giving up P&H
been on a plane: Yes.

All but one, in truth, but I need to learn to live without him anyway.

ghosts: No.
spirit (soul): Kind of.
soul mates: Yes, though it's definitely something to avoid, not something to seek.

crush
who and when was your first crush: Brad, 5th grade
any now: yes
a celebrity crush: Ted Lilly
who do you want to be with right now: I should not be with anyone right now
whose number do you want: Mr. Canadian Indifference
who do you want to kiss: No one. I've the plague
what is something you don't understand about the opposite sex: one thing? How to so desperately want more than one person at the same time - for incompatible purposes. But, no, even more than that, I want to know what it is that makes me, specifically, the target of the attention --> interest --> sudden disappearance scenario.
if you could go on a date with anybody, who would it be: Mr. Canadian Indifference
on scale of one to ten, how romantic are you: I can be a 9. I am typically a 3. Maybe a 5.
first thing noticed about the opposite sex: Eyes.
what do you look for personality-wise: Honesty. But I'm obviously a terrifically poor judge of the one thing that I seek.
biggest turn on: Confidence.
biggest turn off: Vacillation.
something they wear that turns you on: work boots
something they wear that turns you off: men in cardigans do nothing for me.
the most romantic thing you want to happen to you: I would love to be with someone with whom I could argue...and upon whom I could still rely.
the most romantic thing that has happened to you: [this includes TMI...] silly boys made wild pronouncements for me when we were young. I had a dramatic wedding when I was 21, with a foofy white dress and attendants in uncomfortable shoes and nearly 400 guests. Men have gone to great lengths to proclaim interest in me in various ways: surprise visits, letters, jewelry.... But to this moment I would trade it all for the memory of waking to Nick slipping in on a Friday night, late, almost frantic because he'd had a flat and, without a mobile, couldn't call. He was holding himself to the edge of the bed so he wouldn't make me cold, but as he apologized I slid over and wrapped myself around him. He rolled toward me and we held each other in the dark. In that moment I knew how much he loved me. And of course I knew how much I loved him, how glad I was that he was there--how vainly glad I was that he'd worried so much about my reaction--and how grateful I was to be in his arms. That is the most romantic thing I could ever want.
what do you wear on a coffee date: I don't drink coffee. But, in the spirit of this... jeans and a button-up shirt (yes, it would be blue or black so that if I spilled tea on it, it wouldn't look like I'd spit up).
is it right to flirt if you're taken: not with the intent of hooking up
is cyber cheating: if there's a specific goal, then, yes, it is
are eyes the passageway to the soul: Yes
who would you like to take to the prom: If I could go back in time, I would definitely go to prom with the guy who asked me
do you want to hug somebody right now: Nope. I'm more contagious than NASCAR.
do you know what an aphrodisiac is: Yes. Is there anyone over the age of 21 who would not?
any now: yes
a celebrity crush: Ted Lilly
who do you want to be with right now: I should not be with anyone right now

describe
mellow: peaceful
melancholy: wistful
the perfect date: "the"? That's impossible; there is no one universal perfect date. My perfect date? Still impossible, because it depends on the person with whom I spent it, and even in that, the mutual mood. I've had wonderful, memorable formal dates (e.g. The Gandy Dancer) and spectacular dates that didn't cost a dime. There was a night when I was "kidnapped" and driven to the F- River, where we walked, and argued, and kissed in an alley. Maybe that's the definition: the perfect date is tailored to the couple and to their mutual mood.
the perfect mate: does not exist
how M&M's are made: who cares? Someone already does this very well. If I need to learn, eventually, then I will.
why manhole covers are round: it's physics
melancholy: wistful
the perfect date: "the"? That's impossible; there is no one universal perfect date. My perfect date? Still impossible, because it depends on the person with whom I spent it, and even in that, the mutual mood. I've had wonderful, memorable formal dates (e.g. The Gandy Dancer) and spectacular dates that didn't cost a dime. There was a night when I was "kidnapped" and driven to the F- River, where we walked, and argued, and kissed in an alley. Maybe that's the definition: the perfect date is tailored to the couple and to their mutual mood.
the perfect mate: does not exist
how M&M's are made: who cares? Someone already does this very well. If I need to learn, eventually, then I will.

what is your reaction to someone telling you you're hot: "aw, shucks"
does being psycho appeal to you: Riiight.
