Where is your favourite place to be on a sunny Sunday afternoon? 
Submitted by Rev Stan.

Not in front of my computer working like I was today.

When was the last time you made a drastic change to your personal style (i.e., wardrobe, hairstyle, etc.)? What did you do? 
Submitted by miyna. 

I chopped off my hair a couple months ago. I've colored it twice since then, and I got two new pairs of frames in a different style than I've been wearing for the last 3.5 years.

When driving alone, what do you do?  Sing along to the radio?  Think about your day?  Something else?
Submitted by carapiccoladiva.  

Listen to the radio/iPod. Sometimes I do sing along. I also contemplate solutions to programming problems I've encountered at work.

How many email addresses do you have?  What are they for? 
Submitted by clippedwings.

Over 100 -- they are aliases to help control spam. I use the whitelist approach.

Why do you live where you live?
Submitted by memtony.

Because that is where my family resides.

What movie cliché would you most like to live out in real life? 
Submitted by Wes.  

Theme music. I want theme music.

How do you sign your emails?
Submitted by rosemarypepper.

I have a signature on a couple of my accounts. Most all of my e-mails are very informal, so I don't sign them with anything at all. Here is my almost correct .sig:

------------------------------------------------
Melissa L K Wisler
echo 'melystuu at gmail x com'\
  | sed -e 's/ x /\./' -e 's/ at /@/'

Who would you call with your one phone call if arrested? (No lawyers!)

Mac, unless he was sitting right there with me. Then I would call his dad, and I think he counts even though he is a lawyer.

What do you enjoy most about summer?
Submitted by Alex.

I used to love the relaxed nights out on Mass. The slowdown of the town after the students leave. A cool drink outside on a warm night. The free time of not having classes.

Now? All I really get to enjoy is the fact that it isn't freezing cold.

What was your worst hairstyle decision ever?

The late-80s, early-90s. Blech.
