1. What does your screen name mean? Long time ago, in college, I had a friend that was from Thailand. His family was quite well-to-do, and he had grown up with 'manservants' as we called them. So he was a little... bossy. One day, in a heavy Thai accent he says to me as he's sitting at the kitchen table, "MIKIE! GO GET ME A COKE!" I was in the living room. My response was, "What am I..? Your bitch?!" He says, "No.. you're like a pet... do as I say... like my doggie... Mikiedoggie! Mikiedoggie! Go get me a Coke!" And I've kept the nickname ever since, which is apropos since I like dogs.
2. Would you like to change your screen name? Not really. Some people seem to think it indicates a sexual preference which is something I never really thought of (see answer#1) at the time. The only other screen name that I really like is "mjm4" which I still have, and came from my first e-mail address of 16 years ago.
3. How different are you now than you were five years ago? I'm not sure about that. I think my personality leveled out about six years ago. However, once thing that I've noticed is that as the years progress, I have become more and more content with myself despite my many anxieties. Although the body winds down, mentally I find myself looking forward to my future, and enjoying my present more than I did in the past.
4. What Saturday Night Live character is your favorite? Phil Hartman's "Caveman Lawyer" will always have a place in my heart. But my classic favorites are "Doug and Wendy Whiner."
5. Get Fuzzy, Garfield or Opus.. and why? I don't like Garfield. Right now Its "Get Fuzzy" because I love the optimistic naivete of the dog, and Bucky the Cat just rules. Like you, I haven't seen much of the new Opus but I really enjoyed it in the past.
