GTKY
Daniel by Suzie Bagley
NAME: Daniel Jackson
SEX: Exactly *what* kind of survey is this again? Oh, you're talking about *gender.* Sorry. Male, I think. Unless it turns out that woman on P7X 198 was right last week when she said that eating those mushrooms would turn me into a hermaphrodite.
HOME: Jack says I live at the SGC, but I have a -- and I quote -- "Sweet little apartment in Colorado Springs that rarely sees the light of day."
HEIGHT: 6'0"
EYES: Blue, although Janet once insisted they were bluer than the sky on a clear spring day. Do women really like blue eyes that much? I don't get it.
HAIR: Depends on the length. Long? Very blond if I've been in the sun on a dig for a few days. Short? Light brown.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW?: TV? Do I currently own one of those? Oh, *that's* what that box taking up so much room in my living room is. I thought it was a bookshelf.
WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?: The mouse?
FAVORITE MAGAZINE: Nothing you'd recognize, unless you can read 22 languages other than English.
FAVORITE SMELL: Fresh coffee from anywhere other than the SGC.
WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD: Seeing Janet frown when SG-1 returns from a mission injured. Her smile when she examines me and tells me I'll live more than makes up for that, though.
BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD: Seeing Janet smile when we tell her SG-1 *isn't* injured after a mission. Although even then she tends to look at me and sigh sadly. Why is that?
THINGS TO DO IN THE WEEKENDS: Read. If there's a hockey game on TV, I'll head to a nearby park so Jack can't find me and make me watch it.
FAVORITE SOUNDTRACK: Toss-up between Braveheart, Gladiator, and Titanic.
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THOUGHT OF WHEN YOU WOKE UP THIS MORNING?: Did I just have a dream about *Janet*? Is my subconscious trying to tell me something?
DO YOU GET MOTION SICKNESS?: Used to, but not anymore.
ROLLER COASTERS DEADLY OR EXCITING?: Nothing that has four or more wheels firmly attached to a track can be even remotely scary or deadly after you've had my job for four years.
PEN OR PENCIL?: Pencil.
HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE?: Three, assuming the phone isn't buried under a pile of books and papers. And diplomat or not, I hang up on people trying to sell me a new long-distance telephone plan. Most of my acquaintances from out of the area think I'm dead or lost in the Yucatan so I don't make many long-distance telephone calls...not that you were asking about that.
FAVORITE FOODS: Anything that doesn't taste like chicken when it's not supposed to. Although I seem to have acquired a taste for pasta ever since Janet suggested I order that bowl of Linguine alla Marinara at the Olive Garden when we were out with SG-1 for a victory bash last month...maybe my mind *is* sending me subliminal messages.
DO YOU GET ALONG WITH YOUR PARENTS?: I wish I could find out if I did or not.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A CRIME?: On Earth? No. The Goa'uld seem to have placed a price on my head for murdering a few snakes, though, so I've probably been convicted of a crime or two off world without my knowledge.
CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA?: Chocolate. Dark chocolate.
CROUTONS OR BACON BITS?: Croutons, but salads take too long to eat so I usually find something else.
DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE?: On a road or over a sand dune? No to the first, yes to the second. Of course, I enjoy *any* type of terrain if Janet's in the passenger seat with me...where the hell did *that* just come from?
DO YOU SLEEP WITH STUFFED ANIMALS?: At 35? No. Unless having a mastadge try to sneak into your tent on Abydos at night and sleep on your bed counts.
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY KIND OF PET, WHAT WOULD IT BE?: A wombat. I've been secretly obsessed with them since I was in fifth grade. I mean, isn't that just the coolest word, 'wombat'?
IF YOU COULD BE ANY TYPE OF ANIMAL, WHAT WOULD YOU BE?: Well, according to Jack, 'Archaeologist' already qualifies as an animal species so this is an unnecessary question. Last week he told General Hammond he needed an 'archaeologist leash' after that mission to P7X 198...but I have a hunch it was the mushrooms.
THUNDERSTORMS, COOL OR SCARY?: Cool, as long as they're not attacking me...and as long as I'm not accidentally creating them.
IF YOU COULD MEET ANYONE DEAD OR ALIVE, WHO WOULD IT BE?: Sha're, to tell
her what a beautiful son she has.
FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK: Most drinks leave me either extremely giddy or in a coma, so I can't rightly call them a 'favorite.' Although Janet loved that red wine at the restaurant...I'll have to try that again the next time I go out.
WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN?: What goes best with Janet's? I know a few people who would be willing to change the date on my birth certificate so my sign goes better with hers. Wait, did I just say that? I think need to have a little talk with my mind about these subliminal messages.
EAT THE STEMS OF BROCOLLI: There are people who don't?
GUYS-WOULD YOU GIVE UP YOUR SHIRT FOR A GIRL?: I'm old-fashioned so yes, assuming the girl in question isn't an ultra-feminist and won't strangle me for trying to be nice. And as long as her name isn't Anise...although heaven knows that woman could certainly use another shirt or two. I've been in the Tok'ra tunnels; I know how cold they are. She's nuts.
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED, WHAT WOULD IT BE?: Mine, only with an office across the hall from the infirmary so I could watch...er, never mind that. More subliminal messages.
IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR, WHAT WOULD IT BE?: Janet would kill me if I did anything to any part of my body, or at least that's what I overheard her saying to Sam two weeks ago. Since she has the needles and has power over what goes into them, I'm not going to try it.
IF YOU COULD HAVE A TATTOO, WHAT AND WHERE WOULD IT BE?: Same as the hair-dyeing thing. Come to think of it, why *does* she care what I do to my body? She seems to care more about it than I do. That's...interesting. I'll need to think about that one.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE?: Yes, and judging from these responses, my subconscious mind obviously believes I'm falling in love again. I'm not sure if it's convinced me yet, though...maybe I should ask her out to dinner on Friday so I can test the theory.
DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM WEDDING: I'll tell you after Friday...if I can get up the nerve to ask her and if she agrees to go out with me. Otherwise I'll stick with my standard Abydonian 'drinking from the bowl' fantasy.
WHAT IS ON YOUR WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?: A few artifacts and lots of paint. They're woefully bare, actually. Think Janet would be suspicious if I asked her for her picture?
IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL?: Half full.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SNAPPLE?: That depends, are there caffeinated varieties of Snapple? If it doesn't help me stay awake at night while I'm translating cuneiform tablets, I'm not going to bother trying it.
ARE YOU A RIGHTY, LEFTY OR AMBIDEXTROUS?: Righty.
DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT KEYS?: Yes.
IF YOU COULD BE ONE GARDENING TOOL, WHAT WOULD YOU BE?: You were doing fine with the questions until you asked this one. I've been in the padded room once before and don't plan on going back there anytime soon -- not to mention it would ruin any chance for a date on Friday -- so next question, please?
WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED?: The carpet.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER?: Do people actually waste time trying to figure out what their favorite number is?
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?: The cheapest thing I could find at the time...and you could tell how cheap it was just by looking at it.
WHAT IS YOUR DREAM CAR?: Anything that doesn't require a trip to the nearest car mechanic every other week.
FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH: Teal'c beating up Jack and justifying it by claiming they're boxing. Sam and I know the truth.
SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU: Well, since I'm one of the main contacts between the SGC and about a hundred different planets, I've received it from ten different people and/or aliens now. Do you want me to say something nice about each of them? All right, fine, I'll give it a try. Sam is the sister I never had. General Hammond is the father I never had. Katherine Langford is the mother I never had. Graham Simmons possesses great persistence. Walter Davis knows how to count to seven, but, oddly enough, only while the Stargate is spinning. Shyla's left me alone for two years now. Maybourne is...he's...um, I can't think of anything nice to say about him, sorry. Urgo isn't in my head anymore. Lya has interesting hair. And Janet? Janet is...absolutely beautiful. Oh, yeah, my subconscious is *definitely* working overtime here.
OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU SEND THIS TO, WHO IS LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND TO IT: Jack -- I'm pretty sure he's in the infirmary at the moment. Last I heard, Teal'c had just knocked him out again while 'boxing.' Of course, if Jack's in the infirmary with Janet, maybe I should be paying him a visit....
