                1) Favorite Food: Diehard Carnivore. If it’s meat, and not trying to crawl off the plate, I’m all over it.

                2) Car I Drive: ’97 Ford Ranger, Hunter Green

                3) Favorite TV Show: Only watch one hour of TV per week. Enterprise.

                4) Favorite Alcohol: Don’t drink often, but when I do, I drink tequila or tequila based drinks.

                5) High School: Cardinal Newman (Catholic HS)
                6) What would have to happen before you could die happy? I’ve already died once, and had everything in order/was happy then. That has not changed. I’ve had a good life, and if my number comes up tomorrow….I’m game.
                7) Favorite Time of Day: Three or so in the morning.
                8) Favorite Singer: Don’t know that I have one…I like so many different KINDS of music, I can’t really nail down any one answer to that question.

                9) What is your favorite non-homeland country? Canada…close, friendly, beautiful.

                10) What religion are you least attracted to? I pretty much chuckle at all of them for tripping all over themselves in an attempt to provide the “ONE ANSWER” to a question that has more than one answer.

                11) What's your favorite song? Ohhh God I hate questions like this. Too many to name, but I’ll play along and just pick one of the many, many favorites, and the random pick would be “Long December” – Counting Crows

                12) What's your favourite album?: GRR…more of “those” kinda questions. The one I’ve got in my truck this week is Jethro Tull, “Crest of a Knave.” Last week it was something by Talking Heads, and the week before that, Prodigy, so go figure…lol
                13) What's your GPA?Been out of school too long to care. When I was IN school, I was a confirmed hurdle skimmer and class cutter. Squeaked by, and focused on having fun.

                14) Who is your best friend? Don’t have one. Had one…she died a number of years ago, and since then, I’ve collected a core “circle” of close friends, but no one confidant that I’d place clearly above the rest. Works well enough…

                15) What place would you love to visit that you haven't yet visited? Saipan.

                16) What is your favorite smiley?

                17) How many girlfriends have you had? Enough so that it’s getting tough to find women who don’t know each other…LOL

                18) Do you think you're happy? Quite. I’ve said it more than once before. If I could have chosen objectively from a list of possible lives to live, THIS would be the life I would have chosen for myself. Even with the various ups and downs, I’ve had a hell of a good time, learned a lot, and accomplished every goal I’ve set for myself so far. At the risk of jinxing myself, I’d say “Bring it on.”

                19) Why are you happy? See above

                20) Boxers or briefs? Boxers Briefs. Have some boxers, but don’t wear them often enough to count.

                21) First CD you bought? Good God..LOL..I have no idea. Whatever it is, my ex-wife has it now.

                22) What's your ideal job? CEO of Velocigames, Inc.

                23) What is your favorite movie? ACK! You’re KILLING me with this favorite crap! LOL…I dunno…too many to name…AT LEAST one per genre, but to put some kind of answer down here, I’ll say ‘Legends of the Fall’ cos it really was a cool one…

                24) Least favorite school subject? Advanced math. I can balance my checkbook…that’s all I need to know…lol

                25) Favorite philosopher: Taylor Scott

                26) Favorite Author: Ummm….me? LOL

                27) What would you like to dress into next MardiGras/Carnival/Halloween? I dunno….it’ll be hard to top last year’s costume (I dressed in drag).

                28) How did you find Apolyton? Random web surfing when I first bought SMAC

                29) Favorite position? One word. “Woof.”

                30) Favorite Sport to Watch? Sports…Bah! Besides, only watching one hour of TV a weeks leaves little time to watch sports.

                31) What academic subject do you enjoy learning about the most? I enjoy learning, period. If it’s not heavily mathmetized, I’m there!

                32) If you could nuke one country in the world, which one would it be? What? Just one? None. Don’t think it’d be necessary.

                33) What's your favorite language? English, but that’s undoubted biased.

                34) Who's your hero? My grandfather.

                35) Who's your favorite scientist? Favorite scientist? I don’t have one. Never really gave the matter much thought.

                36) Do you prefer dogs or cats? Cats.

                37) How old were you when you where dumped for the first time? Fifteen.
                38) Who’s dumber, Dubya or Quayle? Quayle, hands down. Brushing up on his Latin for his visit to those Latin American Potatoe farms, preaching how bondage between mother and child is a good thing…oh yeah…he’s a gem…lol

                -=Vel=-
                New Question: What do you fear? (My own answer to this one would be: Being alone….much as I like periods of solitude, I can’t bear the thought of spending all my days alone. It terrifies me).
                The list of published books grows. If you're curious to see what sort of stories I weave out, head to Amazon.com and do an author search for "Christopher Hartpence."
