Ohio until I was nine, and Ridgefield after that.)

    Vernon, Connecticut, USA.

    American, as we here in the USA call ourselves.

> 4)Where does your family come from?
    Both my parents are from Pennsylvania, USA.  Going back further, my
mother's ancestry is pure German.  My father is a mixture of Scottish,
German, and who knows what.  The Himeses, for instance, we can only trace
back to the Colony of New Jersey.  (By marriage, though, I have English,
Armenian, and Ruthenian family.  If my son were to marry his current
girlfriend and have children, my grandchildren would be
Scottish-German-English-Ruthenian-Armenian-Italian-Vietnamese.)

> 5)What colour is your hair?
    White, mostly, with a bit of the original brown left.

    Blue.

> 7)What colour is your skin?
    "White".

> 8)Are you left or right handed?
    Right.

> 9)What is/are your mother tongue(s)
    English -- My dialect is basically western New England, with some
Midwestern and Pennsylvania Dutch (from my mother) thrown in.

> 10)Are you fluent in any other languages?  If so, which?
    No.  I speak some Spanish, but I'm not fluent.

> 11)Are you homosexual, heterosexual, or bisexual?
    Heterosexual.

> 12)What (non-)religion are you?
    Atheist.

> 13)What denomination of that religion?
    Strong Atheist.

> 14) Finally, what is your favourite colour?
    That's a kind of personal question, isn't it?  :-)  Actually, I don't
really have one.
