Zürich, Switzerland.

Still near Zürich.
> 3)What is your nationality, as you see it?
I was going to say "world citizen", but it seems Christophe has beat me to it. =P
> 4)Where does your family come from?
Mostly Swiss, with a shot of German somewhere along the family tree.
> 5)What colour is your hair?
Dark blond, or so they say.
> 6)What colour are your eyes?
Greenish brownish green-brown.
> 7)What colour is your skin?
Sun-starved geeky pale.
> 8)Are you left or right handed?
Right.
> 9)What is/are your mother tongue(s)
Züritüütsch and quasi-native High German.
> 10)Are you fluent in any other languages? If so, which?
English (duh). I ruled French class back in school (had seven compulsory years of it, too... some 5 hours per week) but nowadays I'm terminally scared of speaking even a single word for sheer lack of experience. Christophe's informative rant about *real* French certainly didn't help either. ;-P
> 11)Are you homosexual, heterosexual, or bisexual?
Hetero. Frustrated virgin, though. /=P
> 12)What (non-)religion are you?
Humanist.
> 13)What denomination of that religion?
Umm... does Secular Humanism count? ;-)
> 14) Finally, what is your favourite colour?
Tough one. Very situation-dependent. Does black count? I also like the blue in the middle between Blue and Cyan a lot. There are several *combinations* of colors I'm particularly partial to: Black-maroon-gold, for example, or thin 100% Green lines on a Black-to-Blue gradient. -- Christian Thalmann
