Ask somebody who starts with the letter C

...in real life and AF life (which is quite real anyway). 

All the cool kids are doing it. I may as well, too.

What does the C stand for and what does the 172 represent?

Honestly, I had a mental block as to what to use as a moniker over on .com, where I came here from. I am a bit of an aviation buff, so I just picked the common shorthand for a Cessna 172, a very common private, single prop plane.

From a level of 1 to 10, how cool do you think you are?

[c172]

I have no freaking clue. I'm kind of on the dorky side, though. As much as I'm fascinated by fashion and modeling, I don't model and don't like to pain myself with putting together a wardrobe, or even a proper haircut. I like simplicity. 

When I was growing up, a lot of my age peers shunned me, while their parents tended to hang out with me (and other social outliers). As a result, I adopted some of their ways: I grew up liking smooth jazz/new age, like Kenny G or Enya. I was never even aware of the pop/rock of the era, besides that I hated Paula Abdul and heavy metal. 

Nowadays, my musical tastes are eclectic. I listen to public radio, but have also discovered 80's music consistent with what I'd probably like if I were 40 (my age now) in 1984.

I like simplicity too.

Why do you love beans so much?

Where do you stand on the electric chair?

[c172]

That's beanies.



...though I do like garbanzos in my chili #neverkidneys

Where do you stand on the electric chair?

Interesting question. I am pro-death penalty, but I really don't like the elaborate methods we have to execute it (my state has lethal injection with the gas chamber as a backup, for example). Belarus is right to just use a pistol, and to keep the proceedings quiet. Not sure how humane their trials are, though.
