Can't we just skip the "Newbie" part?

Anyway I'll go first so that newbies don't need to be afraid :

1) Depends on the task, but I try to stick to "form follows function"
2) Back... easier to grab the paper I need with one hand (so that I can keep on holding my phone/book with the other) by pushing the roll against the wall
3) yes
4) Didn't have one. Probably "Mighty Eagle" from Angry Birds, the retired version
5) Give the handmade stuff I got from the last charitable fundraising. If I really have to make some easy woodworking.
6) After dinner in restaurants or at friends' I always ask for a double espresso
7) Does it smell like teen spirits?
8) Shark, as long as it doesn't have frickin' laser beams attached to its head
9) No
10) Where do you want to go?

1) Shoes: practical or pretty? No, you can't have both
Practical. No contest.
2) toilet paper should hang down from the front or the back?
Front.

Shark. In fact, if every shark on the planet became my sworn enemy, I think I'd still be safe here.

No. I took 6 years of Latin.

Shark. I know nobody's sending me candygrams, so they can't get me.

I don't think so...

10) plane or train?
Probably would prefer train, but I typically travel to destinations that require plane.
