How many dreams do you remember per week?
It depends. Sometimes one, sometimes none, sometimes several. I've kept a dream journal for years, but I only write nightmares in it (which tend to be the ones I remember).
Do you have any recurrent dreams?
I think once I had a dream that recurred after a ten-year interval, but that may have been de ja vu.
How many children is too many?
One more than parents can afford is too many.
How many glasses of wine is too many?
About four or five.
How many recordings of the composition you have the most recordings of do you have? (wow do I even speak English)
Six recordings of the Beethoven PS in C major Op. 53 'Waldstein'. I'm pretty sure that's the piece I have most recordings of.Quote:

How many olives in a medium-sized loaf of olive bread is appropriate?
Four or five glasses of wine? Remind me never to drive in California!
Jeez, I dunno, Lykren, why don't you just fish them out of a dozen martinis? :)
How many jobs have you ever applied for?
I have only four of both of those.Quote:

The most books from one author, how many, who and which? (Individual Shakespeare plays don't count)
E: Maybe a half a dozen job applications
Probably Dickens, I'm not sure.
How many jobs have you ever applied for?
Haha, I rarely ever drink that much. And I would drink them over the course of a long night.Quote:

I have every book by Nabokov. I stole them, though, does it still count?
Only if you stole them from a minor.
How many times have you been in a church, temple, or mosque (for any reason) this year?
Zero.
How many t-shirts that have words or pictures representing things you like do you own?
I don't know, probably most of them, but I don't have that many. I do have a cap with the letters 103 written in parts Taiwan's flag on it. Since it's hard to see the flag if you're not looking for it, and since the colors of the Taiwan flag are red, white, and blue, I get all sorts of inappropriate respect when I wear the hat in America. I think people figure I must be a combat veteran of the 103rd something-or-other. Actually it just commemorates the 103rd year since the founding of the Republic of China (I got the hat for going to the parade).
Should veterans have entitled status in our society?
Well, the government should recompense them for damage taken in its defense. But in terms of discounts in stores and such, I don't see how that makes sense. Sue me.
How many people with Lyme disease do you know?
two people who are friends who have had lyme disease, and another 1-2 who I am not remembering specifically.
how many countries haven't you been to that youd really like to visit?
A lot of countries, Bounty. :)
How many times (if ever) have you been shot at?
laughs...you said that last time I asked!
never shot at, but was told once by someone "I have a gun" (fun story behind that one) and was threatened once with a knife.
how many ounces/milliliters of fluid can you chug without stopping?
A lot of fluid ounces, Bounty. Then I'd die.
What is the best way to stay hydrated if you get lost in the desert?
Not sweating.
How many helium balloons would it take to lift you off the ground?
A lot of helium balloons, Lykren (OH THE HUMANITY!!!)
How many hours did you work in the past week?
26.5
How many concerts have you been to this year?
0.0
I did see Yes in 1976, though.
How many haircuts have you had in 2015?
Also none, but I'm overdue.
How many short stories by the same author would you read in a single sitting, if you really enjoyed that author?
(Just got my first one today).
I usually read in spurts of three to six or seven hours, so as many as I finished in that time. I'd finish the whole book, though, before starting anything new.
How many cookouts do you estimate you will be expected to attend this year?
Hopefully, none.
How many books do you read per week?
at most 1 - but generally one every two weeks.
How many times a week do you drink alcohol? (caveat: if you don't drink then question is not applicable)
No times a week generally and maybe six times a year at most.
How many really great parties have you been to?
I drink about the same amount as Clopin. I had a glass of wine over the weekend, which I think was my first drink all year.
Twelve stunning birthday parties, and a handful of fun-ish adolescent dos. But all "single life" parties were pretentious beaver shoots, including the ones crashed by Fritz Mondale and (especially) Ted Kennedy. And married-life parties were pretty lame, too. I like family get togethers though, although we don't have them that often. But my brothers and I have managed to form a, well, a brotherhood over the years.
So, I dunno, maybe 20?
