1. Do you smoke?
- No. I've probably smoked two dozen cigarettes in my life, mostly when I was annoyed and trying to be cool in HS.
2. Are you more likely to be caught humming, whistling or singing to yourself?
- Whistling softly. I will sing along with the radio in the car, however.
3. Have you ever been to New Orleans?
- You must be new.
4. When is the last time you saw the sun rise?
- I'm up before dawn every fucking day, and the goddamned thing is in my eyes as I drive to work. So, three or four hours ago.
5. Can you swim?
- Well enough, though I wouldn't want to have to dogpaddle across Tampa Bay or anything.
1. Are you named after anyone? If so, explain.
- Maternal grandfather's first name, middle name from my dad's side.
2. Do you have your children's names picked out already? If so, is there any significance?
- Not a breeder, but I think "Naomi" is a beautiful name for a girl.
3. If you were born a member of the opposite sex what would your name have been?
- I would have been a "Rachel."
4. If you could re-name yourself what name would you pick and why?
- You must be new.
5. Are there any mispronunciations/typos that people do w/ your name constantly?
- There are more people that think it's pronounced "Rah-fay" than I can conveniently shake a stick at. How challenging is "long A, silent E," ffs? Lately, at work, people mis-hear "Helpdesk, this is Rafe," and for whateverfuckingreason, think my name is Rick. Let me make this quite clear: Other than being male, in the IT department, basically caucasian and brown-haired, the only similarity between me and Rick is an appreciation of feminine pulchritude.
