  1. Who Are Ya?
  2. What do most people call you? Depends. If you're family Ben. If you're really old family and you're being funny, Benji. If I don't know you that well or I'm feeling particularly formal, Benjamin. If you're K, then B.
  3. What does your family call you? Sweetie usually works. (That's my mom.)
  4. Your significant other? Pookie? Shnookums? See... that... is private.

  6. Where are you at this very moment? Sitting in a small apartment, in Tianjin, China.
  7. What's your most annoying trait? I get sidetracked too easily. For others though, probably my intensity.
  8. Tell me at least 5 good things about yourself: 1) I'm a bibliophile, 2) I am well-traveled, 3) I am learning Chinese, 4) I follow God with every ounce of me, 5) I am as loyal as they come...

  11. Now that we know that...
  12. Give me a good book to read: Anything by Lord Dunsany...

  17. Where do you spend most of your time online? My blog, K's blog, Yahoo mail, GoogleTalk, Wikipedia.
  18. What's your favorite song at the moment? Nothing comes to mind at the moment. I've been listening to DCFC and they're pretty good though.
  19. What's the best concert you've ever been to? I've performed too many of these to actually have a favorite. However, the Handel's Messiah concert at the Tianjin Conservatory of Music was dang good.

  30. Movies. Which one is your favorite? Dystopic sci-fi.
  31. Tell me a word or phrase that has meaning to you but possibly no one else: To be honest, I've been trying to think of one the whole morning, but none come to mind. I guess I'm just not that secretive...
