I’m not opposed to it.

Have you ever done a photo shoot, professional or non?
Just once. The local paper in Inuvik was doing a story on my boy scout troop. It was quite the publicity event.

What would you say is the most daring thing to do in a lifetime.
Many things can be daring. It would depend upon the person, their situation and their general disposition towards danger.

I've never done anything particularly daring that I can think of, but I'd like to believe I wouldn't shy away from it should the opportunity arise.

Oh, yes. I quite enjoy them.

Ever actually completed one?
Of course.

Have you ever tried to analyze your own dreams?
Yes.

Would you put up posters in your room?
I tend not to have much for decoration in my room. Just a few items I brought with me from home. However, I wouldn't say with any certainty that I would never put posters in my room.

No.

Do you read your horoscope?
Not very often.

Perhaps once or twice.

Ever been in an airplane?
Yes.

What radio station do you listen to most?
I don’t listen to the radio, really.

What color are your shoes?
Brown or black, depending on the uniform.

Do you know how to play Dominos?
Yes. My grandparents had a set when I was a boy up in Inuvik. We spent many an even with them even after they became worn enough that it was difficult to read the dots correctly.

Benton Robert Fraser

Describe yourself while drunk.

Yes.

If I'm in a position to do so, yes.

What one thing would you change in your life if you had the power to do so?
There is nothing I can change, so thinking about it is hardly going to be any help.

Have you or would you ever do anything more than kiss in a public area?
No.

Yes.

Yes.

How high have you counted before getting bored?
I don't believe I've ever counted something non-specific before.

Describe how you sleep.
Peacefully, generally, and on my back for the most part.

Are you straight/bi/gay?
The logical assumption here, I believe is to assume that I am bisexual until presented with empirical evidence to refute that.

I'm not entirely sure. Probably my computer.

Yes.

Have you ever stayed in a rent-by-the-hour motel?
No.

When they start sending rockets to the moon for us civilians will you be on the list to go?

[need-to-believe.livejournal.com]

The logical assumption here, I believe is to assume that I am bisexual until presented with empirical evidence to refute that.

There's no empirical way to refute bisexuality. Even if you have excluded one sex entirely so far, you can't prove that the next person to walk along won't be your exception.

[maintiens]

Exactly. I suppose I didn't state it quite the way I meant it. The only logical answer to that question is bisexual, as there is no way to know whether you are actually gay or straight or you simple haven't met a person of the same or opposite sex to whom you are attracted.

[need-to-believe.livejournal.com]

Mm. There's a pretty strong chord of overt bisexuality 'round these parts.

Ah, and I see I have yet another tick in the "didn't answer the kink question" column.

[maintiens]

On the contrary, I answered it completely honestly.

[need-to-believe.livejournal.com]

It might've been an honest answer, but the question was not "have you ever done something the other, sexually liberated people in this comm would be impressed with?" Therefore you still evaded.

[unpolite-cop.livejournal.com]

You've never been drunk? Ever? We gotta fix that, Benton buddy.

[maintiens]

I see no need to become intoxicated, Ray. I can't imagine it would enhance any experience.

[unpolite-cop.livejournal.com]

You been having the wrong experiences then.

One night, I'm gonna take you out dancing, Fraser. Dancing, and drinking.

[hisdarklady.livejournal.com]

Why Ray, I'm almost jealous, you taking other people out dancing. :P

[unpolite-cop.livejournal.com]

I take anyone out dancing.

What can I say? I'm a dance floozy.

[maintiens]

The dancing I will take you up on. The drinking...well, we'll see when the times comes.

[unpolite-cop.livejournal.com]

You gotta have at least one drink with me. Otherwise I'm gonna feel like a whatchacallit.

[hisdarklady.livejournal.com]

Fraser! Long time since I've been able to talk to you but its lovely seeing your face around.

How have you been? I've been talking with Ray recently, but I take everything he says with a grain of salt. And tell me, how is Dief doing?

[maintiens]

Martha! Good to see you. I've been well, as has Deifenbaker. How have you been?

[hisdarklady.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've been up and down it seems. Have just come to the end of a long two week stretch of meetings and board/peer reviews so at the moment I am very tired.

I'm glad you've been doing well, Ray always seems to have rather interesting stories to relate about you. Usually involving some sort of death-defying move that enables you to save the day, I've been hoping you've been looking after yourself.

[maintiens]

I'm sure Ray's stories have been exaggerated. I can't imagine what he's thinking of that could be considered death-defying.

[hisdarklady.livejournal.com]

I think there was one about running on top of a train that I found to be rather... well, both amusing and worrying at the same time.

[jk-not-a-mutt.livejournal.com]

Frasier! *grins* It's good ta see ya post again, man! How have ya been?

I didn't know someone killed your dad. That's horrible. Frasier. I'm so sorry.

[maintiens]

Jounouchi! It's good to see you as well. I've been mostly well, keeping myself busy.

Thank you, kindly. It happened several years ago, so while it is still a horrible thing, it's not so terrible to me now as it was.

[jk-not-a-mutt.livejournal.com]

I'm glad ta hear that. *grins* any more undercover work or pantyhose horror stories? :D

And how's Diefenbaker doing?

[maintiens]

Fortunately no. I haven't had any more undercover work at all.

Diefenbaker is also quite well. He still has an unfortunate addiction to junk food, but other than that, he's doing very, very well.

[chigong-master.livejournal.com]

Your perfect day sounds wonderful to me, too. ^_^

**smiles** And it sounds like you've experienced (or maybe witnessed?) something unfortunate with chewing gum? ~_^

It's good to see you again, though. How have you been keeping?

[maintiens]

I wasn't thinking of any particular experience, though now that I think about it, I did once get a large wad of chewing gum stuck in my hair. I was eight years old and my grandmother had to shave my head to get it out.

I've been well. Keeping busy and out of trouble. How have you been?

[chigong-master.livejournal.com]

That seems like the most extreme, yet most expedient, method for dealing with it. Good thing hair grows back, ne? ~_^ I've never had the 'pleasure' of having it stuck in my hair, but I have had it on my shoe before...

Well, that sounds like a good way to be! I've been well, too. We just got back from holiday. Owen and Sanzo were able to get some time off, and we had a week's vacation in Italy. I'd never been there before, but it was very beautiful. Now, it's back to just puttering about until I start teaching in the fall.

[maintiens]

Having it stuck to your shoe can also be an unfortunate experience.

That sounds lovely. I've never been to Italy either.

What is it that you'll be teaching?
