15 Things.

I love that scene!

Basically about half of my clothes have memories attached... I actually have boxes in the attic of clothing that is too worn out to wear but that I won't get rid of. I am way more sentimental than is practical. I'll probably need an additional bedroom when I move out just for all my shit I can't part with.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

My filthy, nasty, sweaty, stinky Broncos hat, that I still work in, and refuse to throw away, much to my wife's chagrin.

[mystima]

i will have to say that i do not have a favorite memorable piece of clothing. but i did have a letter jacket when i was in high school that i wish i had back.(darn thieves why would you steal a letter jacket...bastards).

1.) Do you know how/why your parents picked your name?

My parents were going to call me 'Simon' right up to my birth. If I remember correctly, while my mum was in hospital about to have me (or maybe I was just born) my Dad requested they call me 'Christopher' instead. I think maybe he had been looking in a book or something, but he found out the name means 'Christ bearer' and them being devout Christians it appealed to them. Not that I've particularly lived up to it. Heh.

I tend to think of myself by the shortened form 'Chris' though and it's what most people call me. (My Dad's wife always calls me by the long version for some reason.) I nearly always write it as 'Chris', often even on forms. My middle name 'Gordon' was taken from my Dad. (It is his first name.) For some reason, when I tell people that people tend to sing 'Flash*, defender of the universe' by Queen.

2.) Do you have any article of clothing that has a lot of memories attached to it?

I do have a lot of T-Shirts that I originally got as a teenager. They still fit me and as I don't really care about fashion much (and T-shirts never really go out of fashion anyway) I haven't bought many more. A few have developed rips and holes now though.

I still have a Blazer I originally had for school. (We have to wear school uniform in the UK for most Senior - I.e. high - school.) I took of the school badge when I left and it makes a nice jacket if I have to dress up smart for something. None of these clothes are particularly special though.

1.) Do you know how/why your parents picked your name?

My dad says when he was a kid there was some famous Duo out of Spain and the singer's names were Bruno and Dante. I got saddled with the dog name. My brother likes his.

Did you pick Bean?

Nope. Maybe my leather jacket. I just don't get too attached to inanimate objects, I guess. Except Lucille,that's my truck.

Lots of cussing, loud music (if Slayer is on in my office, no one dares venture in), vent to a good friend.

Both of these rock!

Rum, a bowl of cheesy bacon rice (probably 2 days worth of my daily salt intake) and Harry Potter.

I've been talking about Harry Potter way too much recently.

That reminds me of this scene in Down Periscope:

Seaman Buckman: The name's Buckman.
Seaman Nitro: Uh... Nitro, hi.
Seaman Buckman: Interesting nickname, what's your real name?
Seaman Nitro: Nitro. (pause) I'm working on a nickname, though.
Seaman Buckman: Oh yeah?
Seaman Nitro: Yeah. Listen to this... (pause) Mike.

It depends. I use a variety of methods depending on the day, my state of mind, etc. Most have been mentioned here.

[Emily]

2.) Do you have any article of clothing that has a lot of memories attached to it?

I have a hoodie that I've brought on every trip I've gone on in the past 10 years. I wore it today actually since it was kinda cold here. I don't know if there are really memories attached to it, but it's definitely my most used article of clothing

3.) When you’ve had a terrible day, how do you deal with it?

I don't know that I have a routine or anything but I probably get coffee, put on pjs and a hoodie, and watch tv or play warcraft. And probably.. other stuff.

[John Blaze]

And probably.. other stuff.

I wanted to put this too.

Truth is, it IS a great stress reliever.

1.) Do you know how/why your parents picked your name?

Well, in the sixties and seventies there were quite a lot of drugs in this country and basically everyone experimented.

Spoiler:

oh, I don't know. They just both liked the name. They did argue over something rather silly though...whether it would be spelt with an "i" or a "y". I believe my father won that one.

A tie dye a friend made from when I was on Dead tour about 15-20 years ago.
