Name: Caleb S. Prewitt
Number of Syllables in Last Name: 2
Age: 25
Phone Number(s): Um, no. You have it already, and this IS still the Internet after all.
E-Mail Address: csprewitt@gmail.com
Address: See the phone number response.
Height: 6'2"
Hair Color: Dark brown
Eye Color: Brown

1) A Brief History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, Larry Rivers: A Retrospective by Sam Hunter, Why Nations Go to War by John Stoessinger, and Take the Cannoli by Sarah Vowell
2) God, you're a geek. Fine. Finish my portfolio. Get into grad school. Travel Europe. Show in at least 3 galleries. Get my Master's.
3) Hardcore atheist.
4) List your favorite:
a) I think if I lived in Boston I might support the Red Sox just on general principle, but other than that, no real interest. I don't even have a favorite sumo wrestler, and I love sumo!
b) The New York Times
c) Powder blue
d) Citizen Kane, Crimes and Misdemeanors, The Godfather, Casablanca, and Manhattan
e) Bob Dylan, Radiohead, Ben Folds, Beck, and The Decemberists
f) "Perhaps it is better to be un-sane and happy than to be sane and un-happy. But it is best of all to be sane and happy."
g) Painting. Neo-realism. Jim Dine.
5) Y'know, I don't actually know. But now I'm curious.
6) I don't believe in the supernatural at all, but I place a high premium on things beyond oneself. Ideals, values, history, etc. My spirituality is tied to art or science.
7) Raytown High School, the University of Missouri-Columbia (Fine Arts)
8) I'm probably not going to do that. But ask me some other time.
9) You really can't get away from it, can you? That's okay sometimes, and unbearable others. I like the idea of family. But I think the family that matters most is the one you choose for yourself, not the one that was forced on you by accident of birth.
10) I know better than to even try.
11) Depends on the musical. Some are great, some aren't. No genre is perfect.
12) Roses are only appropriate at certain times. I'm partial to daisies, tulips, and orchids myself.
13) I struggle with OCD (mostly the "O") every day. It's not fun. Apart from that, and chronic mild depression, I'm freaked out by heights and needles.
14) Can you:
a) Yes.
b) Yes. And have done.
c) Yep.
d) If need be.
e) Oh yes.
f) Yes.
g) It would seem hypocritcal to say no.
h) I was 22 before I realized there were any other kind.
i) Every day.
j) Nope.
k) Yes, but very rarely in front of people.
15) I love to do it and haven't nearly enough.
16) Cats. But neither, really. If I have to take care of a living thing, it better at least be able to carry on a conversation.
17) C and D. Though I tend to be a little spicy for some people.
18) mostly deadpan, with a dash of boderline mean. But well intentioned, so it's okay.
19) Don't see why not. I can art anywhere.
20) I feel like I'm in another one of my Chuck Barris dreams. I'd pick you up, take you for a fancy dinner at that one restaurant that you always wanted to eat at but couldn't afford to, then a walk or a drive, depending on the weather, then... wait, do your parents read this?
21) I feel bad giving that kind of information out online. But let me know and I'll even toss in a fourth, just because.
22) No. Yes. Well, no. It should be expunged by now.
23) I know a little bit closer to one than the other, but you'd have to ask around to guess which is which.
24) Oh you know me: just another godless, out-of-touch, liberal egghead.
25) Um, how could you not? I'm great. Women always tell me so. "Caleb, you're such a great guy," they tell me, right after they're done talking to me about the guys they've decided to date instead of me. But you know what? Those guys all suck. I know they suck. If they didn't, their women wouldn't be complaining to me all the time. You don't have to make that mistake.

Hey, this was fun. I always like these "If distance/reality were not a factor" hypotheticals. You should make the next about leprechauns.

If you make the process this complicated, how do you expect anyone to date you?
