My question:

What is the story behind your username? What is one important goal you would like to accomplish before the end of this year? Are you planning on going on any vacations this summer?

[Mikado]

Q1-What is the story behind your username?- Mikado is a Japanese equivalent to my actual name Michel ( which means God-like ) the Mikado was the God-King of ancient Japan..also the spelling of the 2 names is similar...I'm heavilly into Japanese and Asian arts and culture, thus, Mikado

Q2-What is one important goal you would like to accomplish before the end of this year?- To finally try to sell some of my art....Ive been drawing, painting, doing photography for years on a totally amateur basis; I've always had trouble selling "my babies" ( That is to say trouble with the IDEA of selling my stuff...I like to KEEP everything for myself!!! ) ps. that bridge pic to the left is an example of my photography

Q3-Are you planning on going on any vacations this summer?Unfortunately, I'm busy with work until at least Aug, I may take a week or 2 then, but, ive been thinking of going to Montreal next winter to see my aunt and uncle again and take in a Canadiens hockey game instead.

Dumpster behind Dennys? Probably just living in the same area , though,I sometimes think Id like to live in Japan

Hmmm, sometimes it seems like they all were...to be honest, im so shy that Ive not really been in any till I got online

Intelligence; seriously, when i was in school, I was always after the A student girls Ill NEVER understand men who love "bubbles", if I cant have a great convo with a woman, if she cant give me an opinion, I lose interest very quickly...other turn offs for me are tall women, and women who are "cold".

Montreal Canadiens...partly due to my French-Canadian heritage, partly cause RED is by FAR my fave colour< extra info on that Q

They can be a bit tough but, if you marinate them JUST right, and season them with tarragon and aregano, cook at 375 for 4 hours.....MWAAAHHH!!! ( Delish!! ) ps. while the shoes and horn make lovely decorations, its not recommended that you eat them

Good Q...When i was about 2 ( yes TWO ) , my Dads old Pontiac died ( permanently )in my Granmas driveway...I guess it made an impression cause its the first time i remember my Dad being so upset ( Sadly, not the last )...I remembered every detail , such as my uncles similar Pontiac parked in front of Dads , the radio and dashboard, looking up at my Granmas window to avoid Dad...years later, when i was about 20, I told Mom this story and all the details, incl what Mom and Dad said at the time and she told me that she remembered it exactly the same way

I think i am an excellent cook...took me 2 years to get the "timing" dsown, but since then, i only improve....only prob, not ever having been married, I only know how to cook for one person at a time, 2 in a pinch

Casual , i dress for me, not for others

Originally Posted by Janice

The Pierre Berton series of books on Canadian history are my faves,but ill buy old school history text books and read them cover to cover the way others read a novel. The only non-fiction i read is MANGA( Japanese comic books< and no they arent porn ) As for movies, I love foreign film, particularly Dramas from China who make the best movies in the world...As for American film, I love the classics from the silent era to the 1940s ...modern American film rarely interests me...too many cars crashing, too little story
