The wall.  It’s cold, but it’s white.

My clock ticking.
When did you last step outside? What were you doing?

There’s a… a knoll, I guess you’d say… behind my house, and I took a nap on it…  :P  Oh, I thought this said “sleep”.  Step?  I was taking the trash out.  Mmhmm.

I did.  It was very interesting, but I don’t remember the details.

White paint.

Moonrise Kingdom.  (I almost watched Marvin’s Room tonight, though.)

Tell me something about you that most people don’t know.

I always put a stem on my “u”s when I am writing because when I was in 3rd grade we had to make a map of Australia.  I wrote one of the words - I think “Australia” - in all caps like we were supposed to, but my capital “u” had a stem on it, and when I brought the completed map over to the computers for my teacher to look at it, he got all upset about the stem on the capital “u” and he made fun of me for it and people laughed, so I always put a stem on my “u”s because it really isn’t a big deal.

If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?

World peace?  Eliminate poverty?  Eliminate hunger?  I haven’t thought these through extensively, but they sound pretty good just writing them out here…

Yes.

Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving?

Only the first verse.

What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning?

Decline to answer.  But it’s fairly consistent, which is unusual for me.  I don’t usually remember what I think of when I wake up in the morning.

Um…  Don Adams.  Sidney Poitier.  I don’t know.

Bradi.

In a cul de sac.  No, I’m joking.  Under a bridge in Paris.

This, silly.
Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
Not without assistance from my hands, which is gross.  If you’ll excuse me…

Three.

Any new and exciting things that you would like to share?
Indeed.  A penguin just walked in my room.  It claims to know nothing about a raven who did the same to somebody else.  I remain dubious.  I am contacting the FBI.  It will probably be held for questioning.  In the meantime, it makes quite lively conversation. 
What is most important in life?
Bagels.  Bagels are most important in life.
What inspires you?
You do.  This was enlightening.  Also, Angelina Jolie’s Oscar pose this year.  That was beautiful.
