If you could ask God one question what would it be?
That depends on which God I'd be asking. If I was going to ask my patron, Thoth (also known as Djehuty) I would ask if we are turning out the way he expected.
What was your favorite movie as a child?
Before 1991, I'd have to say "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," as we watched it every Saturday. In '91 the movie "Hook" came out and changed my young life. "Hook" is still one of my favorite movies.

What are you most excited about right now?
I am completely twitterpated with my newest playmate, who I nicknamed Sexy Town for reasons of clarification. We have been in similar circles for years and just connected this year. I am looking forward to more time with him, though living across the country from each other makes that a touch complicated, I am up for the challenge.
Is there a Taboo play you would never consider participating in under any circumstance?
Simple answer is no, but it's more complicated than that. There are several types of play that do not speak to me at all, and some things that I wouldn't do unless the circumstances were very specific. The circumstances would likely include Owner/property dynamics and/or a spiritual journey. I am only considering acts that involve consenting adults as taboo play. It's not play otherwise.

Do you ever receive random hate mail from strangers? If so, how do you handle it?
I do sometimes. If it actually seems like the person put any effort into it, then I'll respond. If it's the usual form-letter garbage full of expletives and/or preaching from whatever their version of God is, then I'm much more likely to simply ignore it, though for the most part, I try to respond in whatever way seems most appropriate. I've been known to quote the Bible, for example. I do not answer hate with hate. I do remain civil, but after a certain point I default to the "ignore it and it will go away" school of thought, it's never failed.

In a movie about your life, what music would you put on the soundtrack?
Unless it was terribly avant-garde or short format, I would utilize a wide variety of music- heavy on the stuff from my club days (goth/industrial/punk/ebm/glam), classic rock, and strong voices like Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash, Melora Creager and the like. If it was a short format, I'd go with one musical theme.

What was your first paying job?
It was either as a swing dancer in a musical or as an actor for a terrible Shakespeare in the Park production. (There's a slight chance that I was paid to baby-sit before that, but if I was, I think I got paid in pajamas, so I'm not sure that counts.)

What's your gender expression?
I'm a prince and a dandy. My head-space is about 65% masculine, 28% gender neutral and 7% feminine. I have been very blessed to be born female this time around, as I don't know that I would have survived where I was reared had I been born male. I mean that literally. I'm still happily female, I have fun parts and I use my features to my advantage.
I am queer, (and to be more specific Leather Queer) and I frequently have relationships with males that are too. I've also connected with females and 9 out of 10 times, it's been from a masculine standpoint, starting before I knew that genderqueer/fluid was a gender option.
I'm frequently asked what my pronoun preference is, and beyond always defaulting to the original neutral style (they/their/theirs) I really don't care if you "he" or "she" me, as long as you never call me Ma'am, Miss, girl, Ms, Mistress or anything in that realm. I always ask that people just call me "Julian" and if they want to use an honorific, we can negotiate that. (Syr/Sir is the most common. I also use several of the "royal" terms associated with princeliness.)
At my most overweight (now) it's harder for me to pass for a boy, but "boy" is mostly where my headspace is.
If you had to throw away either your TV or your computer, which would you choose?
TV, hands down. I rarely if ever use it for it's TV capabilities as it is. I work and socialize from my computer, so that's very important.
Where would you like to spend your retirement?
We're currently thinking about Cloudcroft, NM. I'll be happy just about anywhere my BBrother (and other family of choice) is I suspect.
