General
Stolen from my friend AJ Shepherd.
Yeah, I know it comes as a shock to many of you all that I am a graymuzzle. My fursona is now 10004 years old give or take a thousand years. My RL birthday is in a week and I'll be hitting a milestone year of 60 years old. It's what you do that keeps you young, and the fandom does this for me. I don't know what I would do without it. Furries rock the world. That being said... here is the meme!
1. How many jobs have you had, and which was your favorite?
About eight. My current job is my favorite. I run my own print shop.
2. When did you first connect to other people via computers?
i would have to guess that would be around 96. My first computer was a TRS-80 that was used in the office, but that wouldn't go online. Hey! At least it had TWO floppie drives to go with that MASSIVE 64K memory. Just some perspective here.
3. We're/are you on AOL? Compuserve? LJ? Dreamwidth?
It was dial up... probably AOL.
4. If you went to college, does your major match your career/current job?
I have some college, and it does somewhat. I left college to help in the family construction business.
5. Have you had a mammogram? Colonoscopy?
No, though I probably should have my colon checked. NO! I don't need any volunteers!
6. When did you get your first cell phone? What was it like? (Did it have a screen? Could you text? Was it a brick or flip?)
It was a Nokia candy bar about 94. It would get signal almost everywhere!
7. When did your family first acquire a color TV?
That would be in 1961.
8. When did your family acquire a second TV?
we didn't have a second tv till around 1966.
9. Did you ever own "designer jeans"?
Yeah, when I was in High School. What a waste of money.
10. Have you ever been to a disco?
Yes. I still have my stack shoes and polyester suit. Yes, I DID know how to "do the Hustle"!
11. How many places (towns, states, countries) have you lived in?
Five. Six if you count an extended stay in Belize with my brother.
12. Have any of you contemporary friends died? (I.e., people more or less you age.)
Yes. Thanks so much for reminding me.
13. Are you parents still living?
Unbelievably, yes. They both are.
14. Do you have any gray hairs?
Wow. Have you seen my mustache? My mustache is Sooooo whiiiite. *how white is it?* It's almost as white as a Fox's mouth! lol
5. Did you or your family own a Betamax?
I went through the whole betamax vhs thing with a close friend. MY VHS won. yay I had a VHS when they first came out. Holy crap were they expensive.
16. How did you spend New Year's Eve 1999/2000?
At home with my wife. 'nuff said.
17. What's the oldest article of clothing you still wear?
I have a Nato long coat that I have had since about 1971. The coat is from the mid 60's.
18. Name one or two historic events you've seen. (directly or on media)
I watched John F. Kennedy get shot live on TV (I was home sick from school). I watched the Moon landing live on TV, too. I was living in Memphis when Martin Luther King was shot and saw all that first hand.
19. Do you eat your vegetables?
Even though I am a feline carnivore... in RL, I love veggies.
20. Are the privileges of adulthood worth the responsibilities?
The older I get, the less it seems so. lol
21. Do you feel like an adult?
Yes, but being Furry takes the edge off.
22.What are the cartoon you grew up with?
I watched Rocky and Bullwinkle first runs about 1959 or 60, and Johnny Quest first edition was pretty cool when it came out. Spider Man first edition, was one of my faves.
23. Is youth wasted on the young?
No, though I wouldn't mind another taste of it. =^.^=
