1. If you had to pick an animal as a personal "totem", what would you
pick and why?

Hm... good question. While my first name means "lion" I'm not quite sure that's an animal I'd necessarily see as a totem of sorts, though I see myself as more feline than anything else. Hm.

2. Would you ever seriously consider wearing flat-front khakis?

I own pairs of flat-fronts, you've just seen the pleat-fronts is all. Furthermore, I don't see any problem with pleated pants, so nyeah. :-)

3. I know you're training to be an EMT and seem pretty okay with all
that body fluid/medical ick stuff. Is there something in life
that *really* grosses you out or squicks you? It doesn't have to
be medical.

I'm not sure this is something that qualifies as a squick, but I absolutely detest being spit at. It happened once or twice at Walker and it completely sets me off.

4. What was your most humbling experience?

I'm not sure. Some of my experiences in Scouting were very humbling, so were many of the conversations I had with my friend Mikey, who's got CF. I'd be busy complaining about class or tests and he'd start talking about how he needed to raise his steroid dosage and carry around tanked oxygen, it definitely gave me perspective.

5. Where is one place you'd love to travel but don't really beleive
you'll ever actually get to go to?

For some reason, the first place to jump into my head is Australia.

Given the choice between living alone or dying among friends, which would you pick?

hm. Dying among friends, I think. As much as I value my privacy and time spent alone, I'd wither without human contact

If you could not be Jewish, what other religion would you be?

Probably something syncretistic and self-devised, much like a lot of the way I comport myself religiously now, but outside of the Jewish framework I'm in.

What quality do you admire most in your mother? What quality of hers are you most uncomfortable with? Why?

I admire her determination, and it's something I try to emulate whenever I can. I'm uncomfortable with her temper, it can get a little scary at times.

If you could have any one of the following, which would you pick, and why: A million dollars, true love, a child of your own, or immunity to all disease for the rest of your life.

At this point, I'd take the million dollars, since I'm broke. :-) Seriously, it's a tossup between true love (something I experience more often than I realize), and immunity from disease. Both of my grandfathers had different illnesses that made them powerless at the ends of their lives, and I don't think I'm ready to consider something like that happening to me.

What is your most cherished memory?

The one that pops into my head right now is of myself at age four climbing into my grandfather's lap and giving him a hug. Grandpa Bobby lived in Miami Beach, and we rarely visited him and my grandmother, it's a nice memory, and one of the few that I have of him.

My little brother has interesting friends...

"In class the other day, so-and-so got into an arguement with such-and-such. He got fed up, yelled 'Fatal Error, Drive A!' and threw a floppy disk at her head."
