Spotlight: Hilaire

[B_stu.kay823]

Sorry it's taken me a couple of days, but have been busy doing other things.

(Rules of Spotlight.
1. After 24 hours it's over and done. Try to be as prompt as you can and get the next Spotlight up within the 24 hour timelimit.

2. One Spotlight at at time. (Unless you're MickeyLee)

3. Play nice, this isn't running for public office.. sex scandals can only be mentioned in a complimentary fashion. example: "excellent cinematography in your night vision sex tape" or "the musical score really added an emotional depth one doesn't usually find in camera phone porn"

3. After 24 hours Mr/Ms Spotlight passes the torch, otherwise it gets old. Starts a new thread introducing the newest Person o' Interest and Infamy. Explain all the rules and so on.)

Well a new person, a new day... I love it. I've got some questions,

Have you ever committed a crime of any sort?

How long does it take you to get your morning routine completed?

Would you ever consider growing your hair long or piercing something other than your ear?

What's your biggest guilty pleasure?

Who was your role model as a child?

Can you do anything rather unique?

What's your take on religion?

Have you ever dated a drag queen?

Why is it that it's hard to not pop your head when there is a good song on the radio?

 

[D_Andreas Sukov]

you say its easy to get a "straight" guy. just how do you do it?

 

[D_Tim McGnaw]

Have you ever committed a crime of any sort? Yes

How long does it take you to get your morning routine completed? A minimum of an hour, but I'm my own boss so I decide when I go in to work and normally I take about 2 hours to come to life.

Would you ever consider growing your hair long or piercing something other than your ear? I used to have my left eyebrow pierced, it looked cute, but piercings are a bit passe so I took it out a few years ago, the hole is all healed now. I wouldn't have another piercing. My hair is crazy it's all King Charles ringlets, and would look like a periwig if I really grew it long, so no I wouldn't grow it too long.
​

What's your biggest guilty pleasure? Overeating.

Who was your role model as a child? I don't recall having any specific role models as a child.

Can you do anything rather unique? I can knit my toes, a bit like knitting ones hands together where you interweave your fingers

What's your take on religion? Simple really, I think it's pointless at best and toxic at worst.

Have you ever dated a drag queen? Yes

Why is it that it's hard to not pop your head when there is a good song on the radio? I don't know but this is normally only a problem for people with rhythm and who like music, my tone deaf friend James would hardly notice music was even playing let along bob his head along to it :biggrin1:

 

[D_Tim McGnaw]

you say its easy to get a "straight" guy. just how do you do it?

There's no trick, and I've never tried to seduce a straight guy, they seduce me, I guess it's just chemistry or something who knows ? :wink:

You do realize that as soon as I get a break in the chemo/radiation cycle I'm off to Ireland (and Ft. Lauderdale)?

Very much so. I hope we can get a good group. Do you think it would go over well there? Nick8 ran into so much apprehension in London and while it had a decent turnout, I was hoping more would show. What would we need to do?

Er, reply in PM. I don't mean to hijack this thread. Sorry!!

 

[B_Nick8]

K8 said it was "typical British reticence" and I suppose she'd know. But being from Boston, I know we can always count on the Irish. :wink:

Hilaire, I'm going to assume your transplantation to Ireland has taken. (I'll assume you're on cyclosporine.)

My mom's maternal grandparents were Irish. Does this mean we will meet in heaven, you and I?
