Tit for Tat
Last week I promised an LJ friend (yes! I'm rather presumptuously calling you a friend!) I'd follow through with a "meme." (I've almost, almost managed to stop gnashing my teeth at the misappropriation of the word meme to refer to these tagging games people play online. I'm greatly comforted and perversely satisfied with the idea that calling these things memes has in itself become a meme.)
Here it is, lifted directly from his LJ (including intro because as noted before, I'm lazy that way):

getting to know you...
Okay, there's a new getting-to-know-you meme going around, and I filled one out, so I agreed to share it here. Plus, y'know, I like getting to know you.
It doesn't matter if we never talk, or if we already know everything about each other. Just copy the list and paste it into a comment, then answer there. Short and sweet is fine. Oh, and feel free to add one you think is missing. Then go and post the list yourself on your own LJ.
I'm screening comments, but will unscreen if you'd like.
1) Ever been in a relationship lasting over 5 years?
2) What was one of your dreams growing up?
3) What talent do you wish you had?
4) If I bought you a drink what would it be?
5) Favorite books?
6) What was the last book you read?
7) Astrology: Menace to science education or entertainment?
8) Any tattoos and/or piercings? Explain where.* [edit -- unless doing so will offend my pseudo-Edwardian sensibilities]
9) Worst habit?
10) Best attribute?
11) What are your favorite hobbies?
12) Do you have a negative or optimistic attitude?* [edit and confession -- I wholeheartedly believe in the legitimacy of negative optimism]
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?
15) Best thing to ever happen to you?
16) Tell me one weird fact about you.
17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?
18) What was your first impression of me?
19) What scares you?
20) If you could change one thing about how you are, what would it be?
21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
22) What color eyes do you have?
23) Ever been arrested? If so, what for? * [edit -- No, I will not come bail you out again. You know who you are.]
24) Favorite dessert?
25) If you won $1000 today, what would you do with it?
26) Tell me something you want me to know about you.

32) In one word, how would you describe yourself?
33) Do you believe in/appreciate romance?
34)Most unusual place you've had sex? *[edit -- Uhm. . .maybe not that one, thanks. I don't want to get to know you THAT well unless such a discussion is a natural progression of # 4, # 13, or # 17. Especially don't tell me if it has anything to do with #23 or # 25...and maybe not #24 either, since it's right there.]
35) Do you believe in an afterlife?
