Part two of the last entry will wait just a bit more. For now, I'll just do this, which I got through an e-mail from Katie...

1. First Name: Walter (Middle Name: Albert)

2. Were you named after anyone?: Walter comes from my father, which comes from his father. As I understand it, Albert was an old boyfriend of my mother's, but that's not official...

3. Do you wish on stars?: Can't say that I do.

4. Which finger is your favorite?: Um, I'm a' just going to say my left index finger.

5. When did you last cry?: Jeez, it's been a while. I don't know.

11.  Have you ever told a secret you swore not to tell?: Unfortunately.

12. Do looks matter?: Looks are icing on the cake. Of course, like their metaphorical counterpart, different icings can drastically change the flavor of said cake.

13. How do you release anger?: Generally, especially nowadays, I tend to be pretty passive about it.

14. Where is your second home?: Back home, back east, itself? Here, in SanFran, it's a tossup betweeen Haight, Castro, and Japantown.

21. What are your nicknames?: Walbert, Wally, Matrix, and the latest, Metrogoth.

22. Would you bungee jump?: Dude, if I had the chance.

23. Do you think that you are strong willed?: My will is a burning flame.

48. Last movie you watched?: In theaters? Napoleon Dynamite - I highly recommend it. Outside of the theater, I forget what it's called (I missed the intro) but that movie about the Russian Sub with Harrison Ford. K-19, maybe? Also good.

49. What is your favourite day of the year?: I dunno. Christmas?

50. Are you too shy to ask someone out?: Yes, but since coming out here surprisingly less so.

58. Favourite board game? Um, Monopoly.

59. What did you watch on TV last night?: I forget. I try not to watch TV, though the occasional movie on cable will suck me in. Oh! The West Wing on Bravo. Man, I don't know why I didn't start watching THAT show sooner.
