Not In The Mood For Writing

1. FIRST NAME? Neil
2. ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Not that I'm aware of.
3. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY? I'm not a crier. I'll tear up about twice a year (the last time was at the ESPY's when Jason McElwain won his award). I did cry months ago watching a really sad movie at 5 o'clock in the morning by myself. Before that, the last time I remember having a serious cry was when my Uncle Rick died about ten years ago.
4. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? I love my handwriting because it's essentially illegible to everybody but myself. You almost need the Enigma to read it.
5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Ham.
6. KIDS? Not yet. Or did you mean baby goats?
7. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? It would be rather difficult. I rarely pick up the phone to chit-chat; my friends tend to be of the variety where checking in once a month is acceptable.
