Accent: Some people in the Pacific Northwest say we have Midwest accents, but I don't know what that means. I'm interested in acquiring a southern accent, which spurs my interest in moving to Tennessee or Kentucky. Dan's Chicago accent comes out REAL THICK whenever he talks to his brother. He also gets louder. What's up with that?
Bra size: Dan and Rocco don't wear bras. I don't think anybody really needs to know my size. And frankly, Hobbes does not wish to share his either.
Chore I hate: I hate taking out the garbage, loading laundry, cleaning toilets, and Dan hates folding laundry, dusting, and doing dishes/cleaning the kitchen. We do these things for each other. But we both hate cleaning out the litter box and that becomes a battle of wills. Hobbes hates balancing the checkbook and Rocco refuses to do anything helpful, save eating crumbs off the floor.
Dad’s name: James & Don

Dad’s name: James & Don
Essential make-up: Chapstick
Favorite perfume: Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Eau de Parfum. I don't own a bottle, but I tear out samples from magazines and rub it all over myself. Dan occasionally wears Gucci Envy Cologne--described as "perfect for the stylish and urbane Gucci man; erotic, sensual, and masculine," but he only wears it to cover up the fact that he hasn't showered for several days.

Gold or Silver: I've always preferred silver, and my wedding band and engagement ring are silver, but lately I've been turned onto gold jewelry. After my most recent traumatic doctor visit, Dan took me shopping. We found a beautiful gold necklace of a tree, which reminds me of him because of his circle of life/tree tattoo on his back. Dan's wedding band is titanium because he's OPTIMAL MALE. Rocco prefers pearls and Hobbes' jewelry consists of a felt necklace.
Hometown: Washington, IL (Leah & Hobbes) / Lemont, IL (Dan) / Portland, OR (Rocco)
Interesting fact: Everyone fights over Leah's lap.

Kids: Are baby goats. It feels like Rocco and Hobbes are our children. We hope to add to the family someday.
Living arrangements: Two bedroom condo on the third floor of a building painted the color of pale diarrhea. We just renovated our deck...pictures soon!
Mom’s Birthplace: I have no idea. My mom grew up in Staunton, IL--a small town about 45 minutes northeast of St. Louis. Char, where were you born?
Number of apples eaten in last week: 0. I don't like apples--but I drink apple-cranberry juice and eat a cup of applesauce everyday. Dan recently had an apple with his stinky blue cheese.

Overnight hospital stays: When I was born and a small stint on the psych ward in 2002. Char, was Dan in the hospital overnight when he was born? I can't think of any other time that he was there.
Phobia: Ophidiophobia, the fear of snakes. Dan has Demophobia, Enochlophobia, or Ochlophobia --all are different kinds for the phobia related to the fear of crowds, and Acrophobia, the fear of extreme heights.
Question you ask yourself a lot: "What the hell is Hobez crying for?"
Religious affiliation: We practice no specific religion. I was raised non-denominational Christian and Dan was raised Catholic.
Siblings: Sister Rachel, brother Doug, and his wife, Rita. Rocco was born in a litter of 8 and we know that one sister, Mandy, was adopted by his vet. Hobbes was born in a litter of 5 and spent several years with his sister, Bulan, owned by Leah's best friend, Hattie. Bulan has a much more agreeable and playful disposition.

Time I wake up: Dan gets up at the crack of dawn, Rocco with him. My alarm starts going off at 7:30. Hobbes is always up before all of us, moaning and hurling glasses and books off of my nightstand.
Unnatural hair color: I don't understand this question.
Vegetable I refuse to eat: I'm not a huge fan of root vegetables, like beets, radishes, or turnips. Dan refuses squash, zucchini, and sweet potatoes. Rocco doesn't like onions. Hobbes is pissed in general.
Worst habit: Smoking, insomnia, slouching, zoning out while I am supposed to be listening to someone and then probably interrupting them. Dan: Forgetting to shower for several days.... Stinky FEET! Rocco: Biting our feet in bed at night, licking his legs until they turn red. Hobbes: Crying, moaning, bitching, wailing, thumping, tapping, and knocking things off my nightstand.

X-rays: I think we've all had x-rays.
Yummy food I make: Grilled peanut butter sandwich is all I can make. My goal is to master a kick-ass vegetarian chicken and dumplings. Dan makes everything good.

Hobbes? Irritable and opinionated. / Gemini (Rocco). His strongest characteristics are social, playful, changeable, and vain.

That was funny.
The unnatural hair color questions confused me as well.
I love all your responses for Hobbes. =)
I was born in Joliet, IL and was raised in Summit-Argo, IL which is a neighbor to Chicago.
Dan had is adenoids (lymphoid tissue in the upper part of the throat behind the nose) out at the age of seven. He actually stayed overnight by himself with just phone calls to the nurses station by Mom and Dad. He was a big brave boy!!!!
