Thanks for having me as the Spotlight this week. I usually love to talk about myself (LOL) Now, on to the questions.

1. Where do you live?
I live in Hollywood (Los Angeles), California)

2. What do you do for a living?
I work in a call center as a Tele receptionist. I am also a freelance webpage builder.

3. When did you first hear KISS, did you like them right away?

I must have been about 9 or 10 when I first heard Kiss. I didn't like them at first, because my brother who is hard of hearing used to play their music so loud it sounded distorted. Once I listened to them at a normal decibal I LOVED them.

4. Have you ever met Paul Stanley?
Yes. Several times. He's a really classy guy.

5. How many cats do you have now?
I have 4 cats, 2 Bengals and 2 Siamese.

6. Where do your cats sleep?
They sleep where ever they want to. Usually, my two Siamese alternate sleeping in bed with me, but rarely do my Bengals.

7. Is there a breed of cat you would love to have in addition to the ones you have already?
I'd love to have an Abyssinian.

8. Has there ever been a time where you didn't like cats or didn't want to have any as pets?
I've always loved cats, and have always had cats, as well as dogs and horses.

Mashed Potatoes.

I'm a loyal friend, and if you tell me a secret, I'll keep it.

It's been a couple of years. I went to Florida.

~ Is there any country or place that you'd like to visit?
I'd love to visit Japan.

I claim to be 5 feet 2 inches, but I'm actually a little shorter than that.

That's it for now!

Yes I have it on both Video and DVD

That's a hard one for me. I'm really not that interesting at all. In fact I'm kind of boring. If I could do just what I wanted....I'd do NOTHING, but spend the day watching movies and and working on my art.

You hear a knock at your front door. You open it and it's NOT Paul Stanley. What other celebrity would you like to see standing there?

Probably Scott Baio. After watching his VH1 show, "Scott Baio is 45 and Single", I think he seems like a very interesting person, and very real.

Thanks about the Siggy's. I've actually been doing graphic art for several years. I create all of the graphics on my Paul Stanley Page myself. I also like to paint (primarily abstracts) as well as draw. I also like to work with Bryce 3D. I have a lot of my original art up on my Myspace Page.

2. Who is your favorite fantasy author?

Well like I said, Dean Koontz is one of my favourite authors. He does fantasy as well as horror. I also like all of the Harry Potter stories, but I forget the author's name.

3. Do you have horses now? Do you board them or stable them yourself?

I don't have any horses right now, sadly.

4. English or Western?

I've ridden both English and Western, but Western is way easier.

5. What other types of music do you like?

I like hard rock, heavy metal, pop rock, and big band music from the 30's.

6. If you could go to any school or university free of charge with obligations, where would you go and what would you study?

I'd probably like to go to some Tech University, where I could learn how to write computer programs and games.

Thanks!

1) Do you find it ridiculously cool that my parents actually named me after the two lead singers of KISS? (My name is Gene Paul) They were Korean immigrants relatively new to Canada and they were flipping through a Time magazine. There was a blurb about KISS on the "People" page and they thought that the names Gene and Paul sounded like nice North American names.

2) What movie has made you cry while watching it?

3) Can you play any instruments?

First, do you think it's fair that Jan (gemlady) made you pick someone other than Paul? (I don't) :p

Do you like food? Eating or cooking?

What's your favorite type of food? To eat or to cook or both?

Right,

How many places have you lived in?
San Diego, California, Los Angeles, California (of course), San Francisco, California, and Cedar Rapids, Iowa ( For 3 years).

Have you ever performed on stage?
Yes, I studied voice, and have performed on stage quite a few times. Now, my vocal cords are ruined, so I can't sing anymore.

If you could live anywhere in the world where would you stay?
Either New York City, or London.

What's your dream job?
A rock star, an Actress.

If you had enough money not to worry about jobs at all, what would you do?
Travel, travel and then travel some more. I'd buy my own Recreational vehicle and travel all over with my cats.

When did you decide you wanted a bengal?
About 4 years ago, when I started learning about them.

Think you'll ever own an early generation cat?
I doubt it, but I sure wish I could have one.

Dogs, smelly or nice?
A little of both. I love some dogs, but they are pretty smelly.

What's the longest you've gone without driving a car after you got your licence?
For about a year. While I lived in San Francisco, I didn't have a car, and I rode the bus everywhere.

Have you made friends through being a Paul Stanley fan?
Yes. There are a lot of great people in the Kiss Army.

It was cool. Paul Stanley would have been just too obvious.

Yeah, I kind of like it, in real life, especially. I don't have an ego, though.

Actually, 5'2" is stretching the point a bit. I'm probably closer to 5'1". Let's see...something no one would guess...Hmmm....I don't know. I'm a good photographer, but right now I don't have a good camera, but I broke the lens on my SLR camera.

Do you like food? Eating or cooking?

I love EATING food.

What's your favorite type of food? To eat or to cook or both?

I really don't enjoy cooking not even microwave food. I do however LOVE to eat Italian food.

Do you have a guilty pleasure?

Yes.

What is it?

Collecting My Little Pony's and smoking cigarette.
