1) I love fall/winter. I'm a very pale person, so I don't do so well in the sun. The lack of sunlight is one of the reasons why I love winter.
2) I love the 007 movie series.
3) I'm pretty short, haha. I'm about 5' 6
4) I dye my hair black. My natural hair colors are brown and black, so I just decided to go all black.
5) I love video games! I've been a gamer for as long as I can remember.
6) My favorite subject to study is history. I made straight A's in history class when I was in school. I even had AP history in high school.
7) I finished high school a year and a half early
8) My favorite genres of music are Power Metal, Death Metal, Symphonic Metal, Progressive Metal, and Neo-classical metal.
9) My favorite band is Sonata Arctica.
10) My favorite potato chip has to be Sour Cream and Onion Lay's. I could eat those all day long

Me too!  I'm 35 and still play them.  On my phone, my PC, my Xbox, Wii with the kids, etc.  My wife hates it because she's super competitive and hates to lose and I make things look too easy apparently.

2.  Did you read my Brazilian Wax story?  I hate you.

Don't hate the hairless, hate the hair.

3.  NO WAY!!!  YOU'RE RELATED TO THE DOCTOR!!! (Tardis Blue)

I wish I'd inherited his voice.

10. that's so fascinating to me, seeing the exact same face on all members of a family.
It makes me wonder which of your ancestors had that face, first
(or which two ancestors, combined, resulted in the creation of that face).
Obviously it's a dominant gene.

It's on my dad's side. I'm/we're almost identical to him. There's not much of a photographic history of my dad's side of the family though.

I'm very sorry to hear about your home life growing up,
and about the passing of your mother.  That's extremely sad.

And you have the good sense to like animals.

I'm sure it is.

He is welcome to share what he likes.

I leave it to his discretion.

It was you that said he was a ladies man, wasn't it?

Not that I recall. I've got his autobiography somewhere, Who on Earth is Tom Baker? I only remember from that and from interviews about his days as a monk. He also said that maiden aunts would come up to him in the street and thank him. Apparently their young charges would watch Doctor Who and bury their faces in their aunts' bosom during the scary bits. When the aunts saw him, they would get a warm flush in their chests by proxy. That's the closest thing to a ladies' man of which I'm aware.

That plus his short, intense marriage to the now-Mrs Dawkins:
