Happy New Year! Lucky me that my first big for the year is the 20 Questions.
I was nominated for the questionnaire by the magnificent @coffinskiss and the lovely @chroi! Thank you for the nomination. I hope you enjoy my responses.
1. Name
Russell, but everyone calls me Russ. (yes, that is the "R" in my member name)
2. Sign
Aquarius, I’m a Sheep/Ram in the Chinese Zodiac
3. Favourite TV show
Too many to choose from, but I would have to (right now) go with The Curse of Oak Island. All time favourite would be Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009 version)
4. Favourite drink
Dr Pepper or Root Beer
5. Favourite alcoholic drink
Kahlua & Crème or ice wines
6. Favourite season
I used to be a summer person, but probably more a Spring or Fall person now. If I lived further north, I would definitely be back to a summer person.
7. Favourite band
This is a tough one… Although I like a lot of the newer stuff, I’m hard pressed to say I have a favourite. Especially when a lot of the songs I like lately are from anime soundtracks… Now, if the question was favourite band name, then I’d say School Food Punishment or Larval Stage Planning would be at the top of the list.
8. Favourite store
Amazon if you are including on-line retailers. If local stores, I would have to go with Target.
9. Favourite kind of book
I’m primarily Sci-Fi, but I really like the “thrillers” by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child (Pendergast series).
10. What is a cause you are really passionate about?
Global warming is a key one…
11. What did you study or learn?
I started in Electrical Engineering, but ended up in Computer Science w/ Mathematics.
12. What is that one song that is stuck in your head?
Too many!
13. Where would you like to live?
I think I would have to say Charleston, SC. I went to school there and love the city. I would love to get back there! Only drawback is hurricane season…
14. Who influenced you most?
Not sure there was anyone who influenced me that much, but the one I would mention would be my maternal grandmother.
15. Who is your favourite celebrity couple?
I don’t think I have one…
16. What is your most used emoji?
Laughing smiley…

Anything sex related… too many prudes in the world!
