Third Person Thursday Meh-me - the 4400 (divided by 100)
Posted by Jeff on Thursday, 22 March, 2007
Jeff found this over at MCF’s site, and seeing as MCFAT’s are rare, and Jeff hasn’t done any MCF Perilous yet, he figured he should give this one a try, with the Third Person Thursday spin. Normal Third Person Thursday rules apply (for those who are asking, follow the link and it will show you). For the purposes of continuing the meh-me along, however, questions will not necessarily be in the third person.
To wit:
1. Were you named after anyone?
The name Jeff does not seem to derive from any source (at least according to his parents), and the only anecdote his parents ever told him was they picked Jeff if their baby was a boy, Jennifer if their baby was a girl. His middle name, [name deleted by author] however, comes directly from his uncle in the Edmonton area, who is a CPGA Pro Golfer.
2. When was the last time you cried?
During a fight with his better half. The two have a very loving, special relationship, though when tempers flare, it can get nasty. Thankfully the frequency of flare ups has gone down considerably recently, for the two.
3. Why are you so fickle when it comes to women?
Obviously this question was not written with Jeff in mind. A better question would be posed to the ladies, asking “Why not Jeff?” Jeff spent the better part of 30+ years being “just friends” until Dawn came onto the scene. Dawn is the lone woman who cannot answer this question, hence why she is with him to this day.
4. What is your favorite lunch meat?
Being originally from the city named after Mont Royal, Jeff prefers Montreal Smoked Meat over all others. Schwartz’s is Jeff’s restaurant of choice for said delicacy. It’s a shame he lives nearly 5,000 km away from there now.
5. Do you have kids?
No, Jeff does not. Jeff and Dawn, together, have an utterly neurotic cat named Tara, who the pair refer to as their ‘baby’.
6. If you were another person would you be friends with you?
Jeff would not. He would choose not to inflict that kind of pain on others, and besides, he hates people (see the posts in this blahg about driving in the city of Vancouver for further proof).
7. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
No, not Jeff. Never. Especially not when posting, driving, taking the piss out of people, or commenting on the random or absurd.
8. Do you still have your tonsils?
Jeff does not. At the tender age of two, he had an accidental tonsillectomy, to which he is still attempting to file a lawsuit against the doctors who removed it without his sole permission.
9. Would you bungee jump?
Jeff already has bungee jumped. Twice.
10. What is your favorite cereal?
Since Jeff does not eat much for breakfast at all, he would have to choose coffee. Seven to get up, four more for breakfast. Ahhh, the breakfast of champions.
11. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
Jeff just recently got a new pair of steel toed work shoes bought for him from his company, and he realizes he should, though being tired coming home from work, he becomes to lazy to untie them.
12. Do you think you are strong?
Jeff can lift near twice his own weight, though being a miniscule 150 lbs, does feel that pound for pound he is one of the strongest people he knows. He is also very fit aerobically.
13. What is your favorite ice cream?
Jeff’s favourite ice cream is Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked. Jeff drools like Homer Jay after eating this delight.
14. What is the first thing you notice about people?
Jeff notices whether or not they look him square in the eye.
15. Red or pink?
Red. Just like the crimson red of Vader’s sabre.
16. What is your least favorite thing about yourself?
Jeff doesn’t like his anti-social nature. Though it’s in his nature to be individualistic and go against the social flow, he does hate the byproduct that he has few friends.
17. Who do you miss the most?
It’s tough. Jeff has many deceased relatives whom he misses for various reasons, though when it boils down to it, he misses his parents the most. 4,500 km is a long distance to cross on a consistent basis.
18. What color pants and shoes are you wearing?
Jeff is wearing khaki pants, with no shoes, but wearing black, grey and pink skiing socks. Yes, pink. Jeff really could care less.
19. What was the last thing you ate?
Jeff ate breaded and seasoned pork, along with fries.
20. What are you listening to right now?
Jeff is listening to soundtrack music for Battlestar Galactica, in and around Dawn watching the special features for The Devil Wears Prada.
21. If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
Jeff would be midnight black.
22. Favorite smells?
Jeff likes the smell of Dawn after bathing with Lush products, weed being smoked, and WD-40.
23. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?
Dawn. Jeff really likes his Bluetooth handsfree now.
24. Hair color?
Jeff is a natural blond. In two week-long drunken stupors in 1991 and 1992, Jeff cut his hair into a mohawk, shillacked it straight up, and spray painted it gold, just for the record.
25. Eye color?
Jeff has blue eyes.
26. Do you wear contacts?
Jeff wears glasses for his far-sightedness and astigmatism, but does not feel the need nor vanity to go with contacts.
27. Why aren’t you married?
Jeff hasn’t married because he is still saving to pay for the wedding. And when you’re bride to be’s early childhood memory is Diana’s wedding, it’s a tough one to live up to. Jeff loves his Dawn really 
28. Favorite food?
Simply put, Jeff would include anything Italian.
29. Scary movies or happy endings?
Jeff abhors of happy endings, as they are highly artificial and not an accurate representation of the real world, so hence, scary movies via default.
30. Last movie you watched?
The Devil Wears Prada, which Jeff watched in intermission to doing this meh-me.
31. What did you dream about last night?
Jeff rarely dreams whilst asleep, so odds are nothing. Jeff however constantly dreams about his future in filmmaking.
32. What book are you reading?
Jeff is reading Roasting in Hell’s Kitchen, the autobiography of Gordon Ramsay.
33. Summer or Winter?
Jeff aime l’hiver, pour le ski alpine.
34. Hugs or kisses?
Jeff loves both from Dawn.
35. Favorite dessert?
Jeff likes nothing better than 12 ice cold Stella Artois after dinner.
36. Do you have any special talents?
Jeff has special talents.
37. What are they?
Jeff can:
1. Wiggle his ears.
2. Can determine the F-Stop for a photograph (or a scene) without the need for a lightmeter.
3. Do shots of hot sauce.
38. What color shirt are you wearing?
Jeff is wearing a navy blue golf shirt.
39. When are you going to start preparing for your move back home?
Jeff is home, so his preperation for his move was in fact nearly two years ago now.
40. What did you watch on TV last?
Since Jeff doesn’t have cable, it would have to be The Devil Wears Prada.
41. What is your favorite sound?
Aside from Dawn’s cutey poutey voice, Jeff would have to say the sound of lightsabres clashing.
42. Rolling Stones or The Beatles?
London or Liverpool? Absolutely no doubt there. Jeff will pick a Scouser over a Londoner every time. Thusly, for those lost, the Beatles.
43. What is the farthest you have been from home?
Hmmm. If Montreal is Jeff’s home, then Los Angeles. Now that Vancouver is, it would be Florida.
44. Most likely to respond to this [meh-me]?
Probably Dawn. Jeff doesn’t feel many others on his read list will want to though. Maybe he’ll be surprised.
Maybe.
That is all.
