Just for fun!

I remember that thread. I would pick:
1) Dreamer - I often am inspired by things I see and will voraciously devour all information on a subject. I get excited about things and love to share.
2) Spontaneous - Last week, I decided I wanted to fly out to the Canary Islands for the weekend. I spent time on the beach, ate at a rather amazing restaurant called El Gauchos in Maspalomas and watched the sun come up over the ocean.
3) Religious - I'm a Latter-Day Saint. I believe in God and genuinely love learning new things about who He is.
4) Artsy - There's little I like better than going to London's West Side and taking in a play. I like Wicked.
5) Movie lover - Zombies are my guilty pleasure, though the original "We're No Angels" with Humphrey Bogart is my favourite movie of all time. When I'm feeling down, I like to go to an empty theater and just sit back, empty my mind and watch.
6) Love travelling - Christkindel markets, Vancouver mountains, lunch at the CN Tower, Broadway - I try to experience new things where I can.
7) I play the ukulele - Actually, it was how I originally proposed. I had it all planned out: Send my fiance to a spa, let her relax, pick up the ring and show up while she was getting a massage. I played, "I can't help falling in love with you" and serenaded her. It worked out well.
8) A nerd - I get a little thrill when new comic book movies come out. I also like reading C.S. Lewis, Isaac Asimov and Piers Anthony.
9) I shave my head. Have since I was 23 or 24.
10) I have no idea what Yu Gi Oh is.
11) I like buying flowers for my significant other, just because it's Tuesday.
12) I like cooking. I'm very good at it, too - A real change from most Britons. I blame it on me knowing North American cooking.
13) My favourite car, I will never own. It is the Cadillac Ciel. It was a concept car and I once inquired about buying one, but they informed me that they would not sell. A shame, as that is the American car I'd most want to buy.
14) I can't stand British sausages. Really. I don't know how we can make them both dry AND greasy. Poland is radically ahead of us in Making-Sausage-Good technology.
15) I do a trick called 'Cold Reading'. It's a skill I picked up after reading about it in a book. I have been called 'Psychic' because of it, but it really comes down to picking up on body language and knowing broad types of people. Useful with women you're dating, though.
16) I am an honest-to-goodness centrist. I have discovered this on the Internet as I realize I am wrong about 50% of every single one of my political stances.
17) I have a kilt. I look good in it, too. Though I don't wear it a lot as it's
incredibly heavy.
18) As long as we dance to one of a small handful of songs, I can fake being able to dance. This is because I hired a choreographer to help with my wedding dance. I didn't want my first dance to look bad! Other than that, I can only do the jungle book Baloo dance, shaking my big bear-like butt side to side.
19) I am considering moving to the US - Specifically, Dallas. I haven't, yet, and it will probably be a year or two before I make that decision.
20) I live in England.
