Sunday Brunch on Monday
1. Do you or should you wear glasses or contact lenses?
No. I should wear sun glasses, but I don't do that either.
2. What is your favorite type of footwear?
Birkenstock sandals… I love 'em. I have two standard, brown pairs of sandals, plus I recently added a pair of “Birki's” made with a rubber footbed — perfect for when you think it might rain. I've found that my legs will become sore even when wearing good sneakers, but rarely ever hurt at all when wearing Birkenstocks, thanks to their famous footbed's amazing support.
When inside, I prefer to be barefoot.
3. What is your worst habit?
Worrying. I'm very bad about second guessing myself, worrying about the best way to say something to someone, and so on. I am also a worrier on things like whether meat has been cooked enough at a restaurant. My worrying when around less-than-well-done meat as well as individuals who are sick can cause me to do a good job of “getting” a psychosomatic case of something.
I'm worried I might be forgetting something I should say here.
(The bad habits Christopher mentions also apply to me.)
4. Are you an average, so-so or very good cook?
I think I'm between average and good. Like Christopher, clean up is a lot of what keeps me from doing it more often.
5. Do you spend more time watching television, listening to music or surfing the internet?
Surfing the internet. I spend far too much time reading blogs, news and other things. Of course, much of my work involves the internet too, so I spend a lot of time on here.
I generally watch television for 30 minutes a day, usually to see something I'm time shifting off of TV Land or some other cable station (I Love Lucy, I Dream of Jeannie, Leave it to Beaver, The Brady Bunch, Green Acres or The Beverly Hillbillies [on WGN] usually). Sometimes, I'll also watch CNN or the Weather Channel (I actually find the latter relaxing, but I don't watch it all that often).
I rip my CD's into XMMS (on GNU/Linux) and iTunes (on Mac OS X), so music goes along with the Internet. I'm currently enjoying Steven Curtis Chapman's CD Declaration.

Don’t wear or need glasses but wear sunglasses when ever possible. When riding its an absolute safety must. Geting a rock in your face at 30mph on a downhill could lose you an eye.
Barefoot. Whenever possible. Second would be my Teva sandals. Third would be my Vans just for handing out. Super comfy.
Self centered. Nuff said.
Avg to good with no fear of trying stuff out or making stuff up as I go.
Depends on the day. During the week, net and TV. Weekend, music wins out.

Reading glasses for small print; sunglasses like a fanatic.
Teva sandals when practical (think wild rural setting), cheap Wal-Mart imitations of Birkenstocks quite often. For real hoofing, I would prefer to get another pair of Matterhorns, but they run close to $200.
Sometimes I’ll make a snap decision when it’s not necessary, and find it really hard to reconsider. Old military habit.
Really good, but often without imagination. Cleanup is so built in I do it without thinking. I run a sink of dishwater when I start to cook anything significant.
Despise TV. On the Net all the time, and mostly in the research mode. It feeds my writing habit, something I will fight to keep doing. I listen to music in the background at times, but I sing a great deal to myself.
RE: Sunday Brunch on Monday
I worry a lot too.
