We think the same things at the same time...
We just can't do anything about it.
1. Who is the last person you high-fived?
Guys at hockey after a goal, or Jamie. Don't remember.
2. If you were drafted into a war, would you survive?
I wouldn't go, so I'd wager yes. If it were 200 years ago, I'd still wager yes (because I'm beastly and all) but I'd go. Automatic weapons are such a turn off.
3. Do you sleep with the TV on?
No. I don't watch TV.
4. Have you ever drank milk straight out of the carton?
No. I don't drink milk.
5. Have you ever won a spelling bee?
No. I don't know how to spe... No.
6. How many times have you been engaged?
Several many times. I've been engaged in conversation, engaged in a game of chess or cards, engaged in a heated argument. I find it best to continuously embrace the many engagements which life might happen to spring upon you.
7. How fast can you type?
I don't believe I've ever wasted whatever few moments my moderately quick typing saves me in trying to time myself.
8. Are you afraid of the dark?
Petrified. Deeply and irrationally.
9. Eye color?
Green, with brown around the pupil, if you must know.
10. Worst fear?
Not living up to my own expectations I suppose. There are more rational fears, which I'm sure I am prone to, but I would not be surprised if the aforementioned truly haunts me the most.
11. When is the last time you chose a bath over a shower?
Probably around the same time I last ordered off of the kid's menu at Friendly's.
12. Do like the woods?
Yes, I do.
13. Are you drinking anything right now?
Tea.
14. Do you think you're attractive?
Within reason. I find the majority of things about myself to be undesirable, while at the same time acknowledging that one could look far worse.
15. Can you hoola hoop?
No, but far more importantly, can you pooh alooh?
16. Are you good at keeping secrets?
Not particularly. I'd much rather be engaged (once again!) in the scandalous spreading of your deepest secrets and devastating rumous. On the other hand, I can be trustworthy if pressed.
17. What do you want for Christmas?
I haven't the slightest anymore. To live in late 18th - early 19th century London, most likely as a respected, yet extravagant naval captain.
18. Do you know the Muffin Man?
I am the Muffin man.
19. Do you talk in your sleep?
No. I do not believe I do.
20. Who wrote the book of love?
Some might say Khalil Gibran, but for my own part, I say I might endeavor to write it myself. Sounds very much like an ideal title for a sappy and predictable best seller if I do say so myself.
21. Have you ever flown a kite?
I believe so, yes, although I am unsure of the degree of success that activity was met with.
23. Do you consider yourself successful?
In no manner, whatsoever, do I consider myself successful. Content, perhaps. Lucky, certainly. Successful... I think not.
24. How many people are on your cellular contact list?
I would be shocked if there were more than 10 in total.
25. Have you ever asked for a pony?
No, I have not.
26. Plans for tomorrow?
Continue a life devoid of success and sleep until 4pm?
27. Can you juggle?
As I am not talented in the art of making a spectacle of myself (as far as my conscious memory informs me), I will leave such tasks to Jonathan Forst.
28. Missing someone now?
I most certainly am missing a pretty young girl named Melanie.
29. When was the last time you told someone 'I love you'?
Several hours ago, when I believed I might try and go to sleep, over the phone.
31. How are you feeling today?
As bored as bored can be and several times more lazy.
32. Have you ever been suspended or expelled from school?
Yes, far less often than I should have been. Suspended that is.
33. What are you looking forward to?
The September release of NHL 2007, escaping the drudgery of the early levels of Final Fantasy XI, which I have taken up once more as a hobby, in hopes of mastering the newly added 'Corsair' profession. Seeing Bob Dylan at the end of next week and, of course, moving into Melanie's appartment at school while leaving Mr. Forst to have his own place, far too big and luxurious for one person, especially him.
34. Have you ever crawled through a window?
Many times.
35. Have you ever eaten dog food?
I tried a biscuit when I was a wee lad; trying to find some common ground with my new retriever.
37. Do u like green eggs and ham?
Indeed I do, so as not to be forced into rhyme at present.
38. What 3 things can always be found in your refrigerator?
That is a very difficult question to answer. Very likely the answer is cheese, ketchup and ... mayonaise. I think you would be far more likely to find condiments than food in a refrigerator which I had the sole responsibility of filling.
39. Any cool scars?
No. I am invincible and my skin cannot be tainted by the formation of scar tissue, no matter how grave a wound may be.
41. How many kids do you plan on having?
I imagine I will be told how many children I plan on having when the time comes for me to begin having them.
43.Have you ever been in love?
Yes, I have. I remain in love at present, and without the least bit of doubt, hope to remain there, for several lengths of infinity.
44. Do you talk to yourself?
Very very often. No one else will listen and I find I need an audience to which I may address my musings.
45.Do you like dancing?
I despise the very notion of it.
46. What is the last movie you watched?
Clerks II.
47. What song do you currently hear?
Harrowdown Hill.
48. Would you ever date anyone on your friends list?
Besides she whom I am quite nearly betrothed to, no sir, I would not.
TEN random things you might not know about me:
1. I have not nearly the amount of confidence that I exude... which leads me to wonder where said exuded confidence comes from.
2. I would very much like to have a smaller bone structure and would rather look too thin than too thick.
3. I often ignore the reality to which I am bearing witness and think in terms of a completely different one which exists only within my own mind (I think).
4. I am not, by any means, cut out to live in the 21st century, nor America, for that matter.
5. I am also convinced that I was born in the wrong century, and am often outraged by this obvious mistake of fate that has been incurred upon me.
6. I am an addict. Final Fantasy XI is my drug. I was clean for a while but guess what? I relapsed.
7. I have recently replaced whatever the reigning champion of my all time favorite movie list was with the film Little Miss Sunshine.
8. I tend to shy away from all human contact, especially physical.
9. One slice of pizza is roughly equivalent to a crouton in my book.
10. I have a fetish for bellbottom pants. It is, in fact, my wish to wear bellbottom jeans exclusively hense forth, despite my lacking ownership of even one pair of said trousers.
NINE places I've visited:
1. Mexico
2. Lake George
3. Vermont
4. New Hampshire
5. Maine
6. Philadelphia
7. Virginia
8. Washington DC
9. Bahamas
EIGHT ways to win my heart:
My heart is not an item that is available for conquest. Piss off.
SEVEN things I want to do before I die:
1. Publish novels in my present style of odd modern fiction.
2. Publish at least one novel in a completely different style of high fantasy.
3. Visit most of Europe and attain the European sophistication I so desperately wish American's possessed.
4. Have at least one incredibly frequently used quote come from a work of literature of mine.
5. Teach at least one of my off spring to play hockey.
6. Own a house which greatly resembles Bag End in one way or another.
7. Feel completely content with myself, if only for a moment.
SIX things I'm afraid of:
1. The dark.
2. Spiders.
3. Failure.
4. Deabilitating injury.
5. Fathering a handicapped child.
6. Always being the cynical prick I am today.
FIVE things I don't like:
1. The large majority of the world's population.
2. An even greater majority of the government officials granted power over the world's population.
3. People who don't realize how much of their soul they would probably sell just to be cooler than me/you/him/her.
4. People who are so engrossed in being cool/maintaining an image that they can barely control the things they do or say, or remember what exactly they've done in the first place.
5. Going to class.
FOUR ways to turn me off:
1. Have male genitals.
2. Buy into any of the BS that most people in the world are spoon fed these days.
3. Regardless of whether or not you actually are, appear as if you're trying to be both revoltingly arrogant and ignorant at the same time.
4. Feel the need to experiment with hard drugs. Alcohol is man's friend. It was good enough for many generations of scoundrels more worthy than yourself and it should, in turn, be good enough for you.
THREE things I do every day:
1. Drink about 3 gallons of tea.
2. Write for about 15 minutes and then delete/destroy everything I have written.
3. Examine what I suddenly expect might be the very beginning of a slowly receding hairline.
TWO things that make me happy:
1. The source of most happiness in my life, Melanie.
2. My imaginative escapes into that other reality which I'm not sure anyone else is aware of.
ONE thing on my mind right now:
1. Horatio Hornblower... why am I doing surveys instead of reading?
1. Who is the last person you high-fived?
Guys at hockey after a goal, or Jamie. Don't remember.
