slwatson:
1.) Favorite type of cloth.
I can honestly say that no one has asked me this question before. As such, I’ve never thought about it. I… I don’t know. Tweed is sort of cool and retro. Silk is fun to touch. Is leather cloth? It smells nice.
2.) Favorite color of carpeting.
These questions are highly controversial! Heh. Um… I’m not sure. I like those Turkish rug sorta things, with fancy designs. If left to my own devices, I’d probably carpet a room in some dark utilitarian color. I’ll say… blue?
3.) How fatherhood has changed your life.
I used to get a lot more sleep, yet at the same time I stayed up late a lot more.velvetpage and I used to play D&D till 1 AM. We used to randomly go to movies or out or dinner. That spontaneity was lost, but we have gained a lot. I’ve experienced emotional highs of a sort I’d never felt before. And children are delightful, when they are in their element. Yes, you don’t take a rambunctious toddler into a movie or to a lecture, but in their element, in their own place, they are absolutely a joy.
4.) Kids shows you secretly don't want to admit to liking.
Ha! To heck with that. I admit freely to liking almost all of them. I even like Maggie and the Ferocious Beast. I guess the most embarrassing one I like, though, would have to be In the Night Garden which is rather like a less trippy version of the Boobahs, narrated by Derek Jacobi. Claire really loved that show, and she has an animatronic “Iggle Piggle”, complete with blanket.
5.) Family history -- ie, where your family originated from, way back when.
My father was born in Utrecht, Holland, and his family lived there for a long time. Through his mother (my Oma) we have a connection with the Huguenots, French Protestants who fled to Holland in the late 1600s. Members of my family have claimed that we are descendants of Rembrandt, but I have no idea how reliable that claim is. My dad’s family came to Canada in 1957.
My mom is Canadian born, but her parents were both immigrants. Grandpa was born on the Channel Isle of Guernsey, a British Crown Dependency. Grandma was born in Edinburgh. Their families immigrated to Canada after WWI.

Thank goodness they seem to have finally taken it off the air. That television show had got to be in the top ten list of Canadian Atrocities.
