I'm playing The Sims 2 right now. Specifically, a high-rise apartment building that I built in the downtown neighborhood. It's a little dingy-looking but by the standards of real cities it's pretty decent. I'm not sure if I'd actually be rooming with my Sim household or just living in the same...

My text-message/email ringtone is the first four notes of "Shout" by Tears for Fears, and my phone call ringtone is "The Logical Song" by Supertramp. I hardly ever call people with my phone, so the former sees a lot more use.

I don't feel qualified to comment objectively because I haven't really experienced the extremes of either. I've never so much as broken a bone as far as physical pain goes, and the worst emotional experience I've ever had wasn't pain so much as anxiety. Both physical and emotional pain can eat...

I'd still eat, but probably once a day at most, maybe twice if I was feeling self-indulgent, and there'd be plenty of days when I didn't eat at all. I enjoy the taste of most foods I eat, so no way would I voluntarily abandon food completely, but having to eat so often gets on my nerves. And I...

I have, I dunno, maybe 600 or 700 songs spread between my computers and my (rather old) iPod, not all of which is actually loaded into iTunes (more than once I've downloaded a band's entire discography and never got around to listening to more than half of it). If you include all the...

"What's the purpose of fruit?" I was pretty tired.

No. Most of the "trouble" that parents worry about - drugs, teen sex, crime, getting mugged or raped - could just as easily happen before any given curfew, no matter how ridiculously early, as after it. Cover of darkness makes the last one slightly more likely, but that's really only important...

Not covered in this scenario: Bloodborne pathogens. I don't have any nasty diseases in my blood, but I don't want vampire guy giving me AIDS. If my immediate safety was assured and I knew he wasn't going to infect me with anything, I'd let him feed on me. I don't have a problem with vampires...

Pip-Boy programmer was the one I got when I gave the most natural answers for me-the-player, although I'm not sure if that was my current character or the one preceding her who never actually got off the ground. (The other one I remember is pedicurist, but I don't know if it was that character...

I don't, although I don't object to saying that one has ten fingers (or nine or less if they happen to be missing some, whatever).

Lemmings!

I personally use quite a few mild swear words casually - damn, hell, bastard, crap (although opinions vary about whether that one counts), ass, dick, occasionally "twat" (which I picked up from Yahtzee) - and the occasional "shit" if nothing else sounds right ("bullshit", "no shit", and...

Yeah, it was kind of a dumb thing to say without including any qualifiers, but eating anything other than mozzarella or that processed-and-individually-wrapped quasi-cheese (which is good melted on burgers or as the cheese in grilled cheese but gross if not melted onto something) in a sandwich...

My accent is almost entirely Generic North American (although word choice/phrasing is another matter), but every so often a Canadian "o" slips in there. I find this mildly annoying, but haven't actually tried to stop (partly because I haven't conclusively identified which words it appears in and...

I'm perfectly willing to walk the handful of blocks to the grocery store, but for anything further away I take the bus. Or the SkyTrain. I'm lucky enough to live in a city with really good public transit (it's generally reliable, extensive, and not run by dickheads).
