Share your favourite Michael Jackson song.
He may have gone berserk lately, but his music is timeless. Can never get bored of MJ.
If you could take any class you wanted for one semester, what would you study?
Art history, Eastern religious studies, cultural anthropology... any one of these would be fantastic. Oh, and film scoring!
If you could easily choose to live in another country without all the red tape and legal stuff, which one would you select and why?

Greece. Or Cyprus. In a heartbeat. Switzerland wouldn't be too bad either :)
If your Vox Neighborhood had a potluck dinner tonight, what dish, drink or dessert would you bring?
I'd bring the Absolut vodka. Lots of Absolut Kurant and Citron, probably. But you already knew that :)
Today is Blog Action Day! Take action by posting about the environment in your own way.
Calvin: It took hundreds of years for these woods to grow, and they leveled it in a week. It's gone. After they build new houses here, they'll have to widen the roads and put up gas stations, and pretty soon the whole area will just be a big strip. Eventually there won't be a nice spot left anywhere. I wonder if you can refuse to inherit the world.

People do many different things to cope with stress, loss, and "bumps in the road". How do you handle stress and hard times?

Sleep. Escape from it all as long as you can. The world can fucking wait.

This was an interesting question because it really got me thinking about my life and the way I lead it.
What board game are you really good at? Really bad at?
I don't know about "really good," but I'm fine at Pictionary and I absolutely love that game. Monopoly and Cluedo are lots and lots of fun too.
I'm horrible at Trivial Pursuit because I own the American version (it was a present) and I don't know the answers to most of those weird questions. I haven't the slightest clue about baseball players and lesser known American TV shows and stuff. In fact, there's a whole second deck of question cards that is still wrapped in its original plastic shield -- I've never opened it! I even use the cool triangular counters to represent houses and hotels in Monopoly because I managed to lose the original ones ;o)
What are your deal breakers in a relationship?
In no particular order
Cheating/disloyalty/violence of any sort, obviously. I'm not one of those excessively possessive types but nevertheless I really don't appreciate the man flirting with other women.
Lying. White lies are understandable depending on the circumstances but otherwise lying even about small things reflects a lack of comfort in the vibe between two people.
Excessive religiosity. I really can't adjust to rituals and/or reliance upon divinity to get you through every tough situation. And I get murderous if someone tries to force religion on me.
Cruelty to animals. I'm not a crazy animal lover but that's more because I've never had a pet. I believe they must be treated with great care and kindness though and anyone who throws stones at cats or kicks dogs deserves similar treatment themselves.
Being rude to waiters, maids, cabin crew, chauffeurs etc. Anyone who's in your service and is relatively helpless against the manifestations of your damned ego. One of the first things I observe in any man is the way he treats those under him or in his pay.
Bad hygiene of any sort. I don't care how wonderful the man is, if he doesn't know how to keep clean, GOODBYE!
Tightfistedness. (If that wasn't a word, well, it is now, hee). There's no need to splurge your way through life but please, counting every penny when you don't really need to is just annoying. I like men who enjoy fine dining and nice holidays and the opera and theatre and things like that. Even if it can be managed only once in a while. Men who are generous enough to take their friends out to dinner once in a while, or pick up the tab as a surprise.
Of course, these rules work both ways. If I want my partner to possess these qualities I can't afford to lack them myself.
What's your favourite flavor of ice cream?
Classic favourites are butterscotch and cappuccino/coffee walnut. I usually don't like more complex flavours and definitely not when they're mixed together in stripes and suchlike. Also love gelato in all flavours except watermelon and whisky!
By the way, this QotD has the stupidest title ever. LOL.
