I took this from Lullay's page, but I added a few things to it (I hope that's ok):
——————START NOW—————— ——————HAVE YOU EVER—————— ——————FAVORITES—————— ————-RIGHT NOW——————
* Starting Time: 12:09 am (Hey, I was doing other stuff too!)
* Nicknames: None (online I go by glider, but it's rare for me to go by anything but “Shannon” IRL)
* School: York University (BFa/Visual Arts program), University of Toronto (BSc/Artifical Intelligence program)
* Graduated? I left highschool with a 96% Grade 13/OAC average, but left both universities before completing my degrees.
* Colour of eyes: Blue/green
* Colour of hair as a child: Very light blonde
* Height: 6'2″
* Is your weight more or less than it was a year ago: Significantly less.
* Shoe Size: 12
* Brothers/Sisters: Younger brother and sister and two older half-sisters.

* Where have you lived (including extended stays with family/friends where you could call it “your house”)? Victoria, BC; Red Deer, AB; Big Island, ON; Miramichi, NB; LaHave, NS; Piladelphia, PA; Leil, Germany; Wapoos, ON; Toronto, ON; Tweed, ON.
* Parent's political stance: Mother: Leftist/socialist. Father: Pink Libertarian?
* When is your bedtime? When in Tweed, by midnight. When in Toronto, by about 3AM usually.
* When do you get up? When in Tweed, between 6 AM and 7 AM usually. When in Toronto, around 9AM usually.
* Been so drunk you blacked out? Passed out? No. Didn't remember clearly what happened? All the time.
* Quit a job? No, the only time I left a job was from moving out of the country.
* Been fired from a job? Never.
* Kept a secret from everyone (tell it now if you can)? Probably not… I tend to be pretty open.
* Had an imaginary friend? Do stuffed animals count? If so, yes. Otherwise, no.
* Wanted to hook up with a friend? Yeah (and generally I do if I want to).
* Cried during a Movie? Yes, or at least close to it. Gattaca tugs the heartstrings for me, as does Whale Music.
* Had a crush on a teacher? Nope.
* Cheated at school? I view “cheating” in the same way as James Tiberius Kirk does.
* Ever thought an animated character was hot? Nope. Furries neither.
* Had a New Kids on the Block tape? No, but I have seen MC Hammer live.
* Been on stage? Of course.
* Cut your own hair? I've only went to have my hair cut once in my entire life (so yes, definitely).
* Been in a band? I played bass in a GNR cover band, and did various projects with friends.
* Had a supernatural experience? Yes, but I believe that they have “natural” (that is, true and logical and verifyable) causes.
* Been institutionalized? Three times, all involuntary (and a long time ago) and unneeded. It's a large part of the reason I distrust the medical profession.
* Been sarcastic? I pity the person who never has been.
* Day/Night: I don't think I could like one without the other.
* Summer/Winter: I only don't like some of the transitional periods because they're hard on my joints.
* Lace, satin, or burlap: Burlap — it's carnal are real.
* Fave Cartoon Character: Ed the Happy Clown
* Fave Shampoo: I like mint and tea tree based products.
* Fave Soap: See above.
* Fave Colour: I like all colours. Seriously. It's important to me to be able to appreciate all things in their full depth and I believe that arbitrary favorites detract from that process.
* Fave Hairstyle: Long and interesting.
* Fave Language (other than your own, and say why): Inuktitut, because of the way it allows you to express abstract states of being.
* Fave Food: I have a sincere weakness for cheap tacos.
* Fave Advertisement: I don't watch ads any more; in fact, I barely watch TV.
* Fave Ice Cream: I don't eat ice cream.
* Fave Subject: Political homesteading, free expression rights, personal spiritual exploration.
* Fave Drink: Tea (all but Orange Pekoe).
* Fave Animal: Blue whales, because they are big and gentle and live in a world of sliding textural dreams.

* Wearing: Olive pants, one white sock and one black one, boxers with numbers on them, and an old TEAM BME shirt with bleach stains on it.

* Hair is: Clean and growing.
* I'm feeling: Alive and awake.
* Eating: Rachel just made some amazing vegan breakfast burritos.

* Thinking: About class warfare (for an article I'm writing)
* Watching: The last TV show I watched was two hours of promos for the Jackass movie.
* Listening to (last three songs): Ordinary World (Duran Duran), Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man (Joan Baez), NoMeansNo (I'm an asshole).
* Sitting on: A cheap but comfortable high-back black office swivel chair.
* Talking to: This person
* Who in your family are you most compared to by others and why: Maternal grandfather, because he's considered a “dark and troubled artist and scientist”.
* Who in your family do you think you are most like and why: Father, because I look just like him and have followed his life path almost to the letter.
* Name three IAM members you respect, and why: Jason (because he keeps a level head in ethically/emotionally complicated situations), Ed (because he has courage), Blair (because he has restraint, ethics, and talent). I could go on with this list forever — there are so many people on IAM that I have deep respect for. This is a very impressive bunch of people.
