I am so going to regret this

Meme from Kitty Pryde (im_a_cubs_fan):

Ask me any five questions. The questions can follow any subject you can think about. I will give you a complete and honest answer without avoiding any issues you may bring up. I encourage you to be as creative as you like with the questions.

1) What is your favorite kind of candy?

2) Which class do you wish you were better at teaching?

3) Which sins in your relationship with Jean were worse -- sins of commission or sins of omission?

4) What would lead you to decide to have more children?

5) What is your astrological sign?

1) I don't really like sweet stuff. I chew gum some times when I'm in the plane alone -- an altitude-change thing, plus if the flavor's strong it keeps me alert. Wow, that answer doesn't really make me sound like a tough guy, does it

And that's how you make it private.

Ethics. Emma . . . you know why she's good at it and you are not? Because it doesn't come naturally to her. No, that's not a slam. Emma has to know what the reasons are for doing the right thing. It's why I teach advanced compsci but not the entry class. The entry class is so easy, so natural, that I have trouble explaining it.

Doug would awful at teaching compsci, now that I think about it . . .

Hmm. Well. If you're suggesting that doing the right thing comes naturally to me -- and I'm not sure if it does, or if I do -- anyway, if that's the case, I don't exactly deserve credit for it. That is, if it never occurs to me to break rules, it's not exactly like I'm being particularly moral.

At least, that's what it seems like to me.

As opposed to. . .well, take Jean. She always had all this stuff going on in her head, things that no one should have to deal with, but more often than not, she managed to get it right in the end. That, I admire.

1. What is your favorite childhood memory?

2. Who is the first celebrity you had a crush on?

3. What is your favorite part of the day?

4. What is the greatest reward you get out of teaching?

5. What question didn't I ask that you thought I would?

[cyke_out]

1) Fishing, with my dad and brother.

2) Julie Newmar (Catwoman).

3) There are about twenty minutes between my last class and dinner that I use to catch up my agenda. If I've had a good day, I can take a little break and watch something on the Speed network, and then you usually come in and give me a hard time about it.

4) Seeing somebody I've taught -- whether it's in a math class or a danger room session or on the baseball field -- turn around of their own free will and teach the same thing to something else. It sort of feels like immortality.

5) Something about sex, probably.

[ice_emma]

1. I've never been fishing, before.

3. Of course I do. All out of love, darling.

4. That is very you, Scott. *smiles*

5. I have learned my lesson in talking about personal things on these online memes. So I kept it simple.

Do you want me to ask you something about sex?

[cyke_out]

All right, I get the point. Excuse me for trying to have a conversation.
