sure what foods were when I was growing up; I'm not taking
any chances now.
Coke or Pepsi? Mr. Pibb.

are better, but now that I know it's recycled really well,
I'm going for the more complex flavors.

better with peanut butter.

home.
Beach, city, or country? City -- see above. I'd
go crazy without something around me. I'm a little agoraphobic.

I was eight, and it scared the pants off me.
Roller coaster: Scary or exciting? Boring, after
being taught by my mom to drive shuttlepods.

Freeman, Denzel Washington, Sidney Poitier. Oh, okay, James
Dean.

it works

anniversary of when the Horizon launched. We spend
the whole day reviewing where we've been the last year and
where we're going the next. Lots of pictures, movies, stories,
souvenirs, and food. Then we get a preview of what's coming
up. Of course, if we did that on Enterprise, it would
take all week.

to me.
Band/Artist? Foo Fighters and names I can't write
on this keyboard.

from "All My Castles."

right?) was only in one James Bond ("SkyDome," 2010), that
was my favorite.

a single step."
Word or phrase? "We've hit warp five."

say basketball?
Zoo exhibit? After the Draylaxian zoos, I don't
think I'll ever go to another one.

with Lt. Reed. He really gets into it. It's fun to act out
bizarre strategies just to watch him try and figure out my
totally random decisions.
Town to chill in? San Francisco, Chicago, NYC, Johannesburg
(it's improved a lot)
Perfume/Cologne? None.
