43. What was your most romantic date or vacation with your sweetie?
Everyday is special.

Yes, I do what my magic-8 ball tells me.
I kid. I'm Catholic. I consider myself slightly religious. I don't have spirituality- I just don't understand the abstract nature of spirituality. I'd rather pray to the Father, Son and the Spook up in the sky- that is much more logical and concrete to me.

47. How many tattoos do you have?
4 or 5: it's an open debate in my household as to whether the paw prints count as one or two. I am looking into getting another. I love tattoos; bumper stickers on the map of life. I really really dig them and consider them art.

I love Halloween.
I am indifferent to Valentine's Day.

Yes. I dunno. It's nice and it works other than that it's Aaron's department "Just make sure you get me one that has a keyboard so I can text!"

I like to think it's 9:30. Realistically, 11:00
