tzikehOk, I'm entirely embarrassed by this. I put up an "Ask Me Anything" poll in February, and never got any replies, so I figured no one loved me and I moved on. But apparently, you have to go VIEW THE QUESTIONS ON YOUR OWN, and not expect them to be mailed to you like lj responses.

So, thank you,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
unmisha, morgandawn, sockkpuppett, jorit, and natlyn, for not blithely unfriending me when I totally failed to answer you.
unmisha -- Are you a research queen, or do you seem to pick things up by osmosis?
I think it's a combination of both. I really do love knowledge and finding things out, and I enjoy reading through books which are simply lists of facts and trivia. I don't have an eidetic memory, so I don't keep entire books in my head, but I have realized (only slowly over many years) that my levels of retention are a bit higher than many other folks'. This includes stuff like being able to remember huge chunks of dialog after seeing a movie or tv episode just once. I know my driver's license number, my checking account number, my credit card numbers, my friends' phone numbers, cell phone numbers, work phone numbers... It's not something I practice; it just is.
morgandawn -- where is God?
I'm not the person to ask, because I don't believe that God is anywhere. I have no belief in any kind of higher power. A longer discussion of "spirituality" and "The interconnectedness of all living things" requires several free evenings in a row and lots of alcohol.
sockkpuppett -- Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks?
SHAFT!
jorit -- explain to me please how vids are "art"
Wow. That's a pretty amazing question - and the answer would have to start with a definition of 'art'. Would you mind terribly if I took some time to craft an essay? Heck, you've waited this long; a few more days shouldn't be a big deal. ;)
natlyn -- Why are peppermint candies red and white, when the plant is green?
Seriously? I think because red symbolizes spicy or sharp-tasting to most people, and green is a cooler color which brings to mind blander foods like lettuce and limes. So it's all psychological. That's my guess; I'd have to look it up (see unmisha's question {g}).
And now, in the same spirit, I'm open for business in the "interview meme". Ask me five questions here in comments, and I'll ask you five back in your lj.
