What were you afraid of as a child that seems silly to you now?
Submitted by navelgazer.
Vigo the Carpathian. I saw Ghostbusters II, and it scared the poop out of me (hey, I was five, okay?). I had nightmares for quite awhile.
How do you eat your pizza: folded, flat or with a fork and knife?
Submitted by danimass.
Depends.. In a restaurant; knife and fork, always. At home; flat with hands. That said, I am partial to the occasional calzone, so I suppose you could say folded sometimes, too.
I love pizza.

What's the most memorable building you've lived in?
Submitted by Shelly.
Hm. There's a tie here between my university halls of residence, and my apartment in Germany. Neither were especially attractive or nice buildings in which to live, but in both I was surrounded by good people (and a few annoying people, too), who mostly became good friends. Living at both places has taught me to be a lot more of a sociable person.. I thought it'd be impossible for me to survive living with a bunch of strangers for a whole year, let alone make friends among the bunch.
They had their share of annoyances, though. The first night that I was ever properly living away from home, at halls, a fire alarm went off at 3 in the morning, this particular fire alarm is placed right above your head, and perhaps the very loudest noise ever. In Germany, friends got into the habit of (when I was the only one living on the bottom floor of the five story building) stealing some crap from the street and leaving it on my balcony (once I found a defunct bike and another time, a rotating sign from a dentist with a huge bunny on it), or flashing lights through my window while I was sleeping. Very unnerving things to wake up to indeed. There was the occasional bout of wrestling on the corridor, too.
Many, many silly memories
What's your favorite foreign accent?
I'm a big fan of the eastern European/Russian accent, mostly for it's comedy value. If I were to pick a new accent for myself, I'd probably go for a light Edinburgh-ish. However, I attatch far more value to the qualities of a person's voice, than their accent.
I encounter very few voices that I really enjoy listening to, whatever the accent.
