1. if you had to participate in one olympic event what would it be and why?
Fencing. I used to fence, loved it, and still find it fascinating.

2. what is the one song you always sing along to?
I don't have a particular favorite, just whatever I'm listening to. I'm such a bad singer that usually I hum along instead of singing the lyrics.

3. do you wear a seatbelt in the car?
Absolutely. It's so automatic for me: get in, sit down, put on seatbelt, start car.

4. car, suv or truck and why?
Car or truck, we have both. SUV's seem pretty silly, especially the huge ones.

5. are you a good/bad drive? explain
Well, I think so. I've had one accident (not my fault, the edge of the road gave way), and one ticket (ran a red light with a police car behind me), but both were years ago. I didn't get my license until I was 28, really didn't see the need, and since I drive my daughter around I try to be as careful as possible.

1 if you had to participate in one olympic event what would it be and why?
Making bad choices in life.

2 what is the one song you always sing along to?
Always? Well, if the radio in the office plays "Seven Nation Army" I can't help but to sing along. Even when I'm not alone at the office.

3 do you wear a seatbelt in the car?
Yes. And I cling to the seat, the armrest or whatever is near me.

4 car, suv or truck and why?
Well, I fangirl Hummers, but... would never even consider wanting one. Lorries are pretty cool, because you sit high up and all the cars look like tiny ants you can crush, but of curse, you don't crash them, because how much would that suck for the ants?

5 are you a good/bad drive? explain
Bad. I don't even have a license. See? I seriously don't know how to drive at the age of 25 and I hope I live the rest of my life in the same condition...

-walking. I seriously have no athletic skills. I used to run though.

Baby Beluga by Raffi. Also the simple songs by the Beatles

Yes always. I started to do this after Grade 11 Physics, where we read about one unfortunate driver who did not wear his seatbelt.

if you had to participate in one olympic event what would it be and why?
Proofreading.

what is the one song you always sing along to?
That AC/DC song about Dirty Dietz and the Thunder Sheep or whatever it's called.

do you wear a seatbelt in the car?
Yes, by force of habit, and you're supposed to.

car, suv or truck and why?
Car, for the MPG.

are you a good/bad drive? explain
If you get me off to sleep within 5 minutes of starting the trip, I don't make a lot of noise, so... Oh, you mean "driver." I tend to think I'm a good driver, but it usually depends on who else is on the road.

if you had to participate in one olympic event what would it be and why?
If I absolutely had to have something to do with the Olympics, I might be coerced to watch like... twenty minutes. If you held a gun to my head. I don't mesh with athletics. Unless it's baseball or dance.

what is the one song you always sing along to?
If I know it, I always sing along to it.

do you wear a seatbelt in the car?
Yes... it's illegal to not. I question that though, every time I get into a car.

car, suv or truck and why?
Bike or walking because... why would I drive? Car for distances though.

are you a good/bad drive? explain
I'm an excellent driver. I'm fortunate in that I just don't get irritated with other drivers. Confused... but not irritated.

1) If you had to participate in one olympic event what would it be and why?

I'd be the ball-guy for the womens olympic beach volleyball team. Because I'm male and proud of it.

2) What is the one song you always sing along to?

New Years Project by Further Seems Forever. The song I dedicated to my wife for our wedding.

3) Do you wear a seatbelt in the car?

Yes

4) Car, suv or truck and why?

Car, I never fell for the SUV craze. My Subaru has seen more dirt and trail than 99% of people's suvs and trucks. I love getting around 30mpg in a car that comfrtably fits 5 passengers and all my stuff. My Forester just laughs at snow.

5) Are you a good/bad driver? explain

Well, I answered the prior two questions right. I'm certainly a good driver, my friends call me the local stig.

Yay for Subarus! I have a 12 year old Legacy wagon and it's a wonderful car. Life your Forester, my Legacy wagon scoffs at snow (I've never put chains on the tires), and it's a heavy enough car that it once saved me from rolling over an embankment.

if you had to participate in one olympic event what would it be and why? It's Winter Olympics, but figure skating or ice dance. I've always loved watching it, and I would really enjoy coordinating the costumes, music, and mood of my actions to my performance.

what is the one song you always sing along to? Any song I know. And if I know a harmony part to it, I sing it. It drives my family crazy.

do you wear a seatbelt in the car? Yes. I am so paranoid the one time that I don't will be the one time I am in a major accident-- that might prove fatal.

car, suv or truck and why? I drove an old SUV passed down from my parents in high school. It was kind of nice, since I could usually see well on crowded roads and was pretty protected as far as crashes go, but the gas mileage was terrible. At this point I would prefer a car that gets good gas mileage-- or a city with convenient, affordable public ransportation.

are you a good/bad drive? explain I'm not a bad driver by any means, but I'm an unusual driver in that I am very cautious and obey traffic laws. I piss people off because I don't speed and I slow down for weather; other drivers on the road get very annoyed by it, I can tell.

1. If you had to participate in one olympic event what would it be and why? umm, swimming i suppose, but it would be a huge joke haha

2. What is the one song you always sing along to? Roll to Me - Del Amitri, or any song I know really but that one sticks out as one I really enjoy.

3. Do you wear a seatbelt in the car? Always. Click it or ticket.

4. Car, SUV or truck and why? Car, I like them best anyways but, even just for gas nowadays.

5. Are you a good/bad driver? Explain. I'd say I'm a pretty good driver for the most part. Really bad with directions so not a good driver in that sense. But other than that, I'm better than some people. haha

#2 What is the one song you always sing along to? Jesse's Girl by Rick Springfield. How can you NOT sing along to it? ;)I sing along to others all the time but that's the one that came up in my mind first.

#3 Do you wear a seatbelt in the car? Sometimes. Bad Desala, bad!

#4 Car, SUV or truck and why? Truck. I'd love to move on my own without having to hire someone.
