Mingle with Today's Zingle

UPFRONT QUESTIONS

1. First name Alan
2. Location Hoboken, NJ
3. Where are you from originally? Berkeley Heights, NJ
4. What do you do for a living? I work with you, Zlata.
5. Night Owl or Early Bird? Night Owl. I’m not awake or funny until I have coffee in the morning.
6. What do you consider your best attributes? Outgoing. Positive. Energetic. Sarcastic. Loyal. Honest. Funny (God I hope you agree with these, Zlata. Otherwise you’re going to skewer me in your opinion section.)
7. What are the most important things you’re looking for in a person? Sarcasm. Outgoing. Doesn’t necessarily share the same interests I do, but willing to give mine a try.

A LITTLE DEEPER (That’s what she said)

8. How long has it been since your last relationship ended? A little less than a year.
9. Have you ever been on a blind date? More than I’d care to admit.
10. What did you do last weekend? Installed a light dimmer. And had friends over for a party. I made bruschetta and pizza. I was told it tasty yummy.
11. Do you believe the glass is half empty or half full? Can I get someone else’s glass and pour into mine so I wind up with a full glass? And does the glass contain lemonade?
12. If you won the lottery, how would you spend your millions? Give half away to charity within a year. Go on a European bender for three months. Dry out for the next month. Buy a new house for my parents. Get my niece a pony (or something she actually wants.) Remake the movie Airplane – shot for shot – with me in the Ted Striker role.
13. What would your closest friend say is your worst habit? I forget names after meeting someone for the first, second, third, and sometimes fourth time. I am really, really terrible with names.
14. Unexpected company drops by. Is your place neat but lived in, or “under construction?” Very neat. Some would say too neat. My video games (oh God, question 14, and I already admitted I play them; my friends are going to yell at me) and DVDs are all alphabetized. I think. Or maybe my roommate switched them while I’m at work. I’m panicking right now…
15. In a disagreement, what’s the biggest priority: Mutual understanding, resolution, acceptance or identifying the issue. Resolution.
16. Where do you see yourself in five years’ time? In a backyard at my house (that I own) with a beer, friends and family. And a puppy.
17. Who was your hero as a child? The older Pete from Pete and Pete.
18. What luxury item would you take on a desert island? A TV. I would get cable out there, right?

20. Describe your perfect Sunday morning. Sleep until 11 and a full TiVo to wake up to.

Zlata's Thoughts on Alan: It's with great disdain that I am committing Alan as a Zingle. Why? Because I have a crush on him.
