So I played this interview game...
Courtesy of Queen Washu I have jumped on the bandwagon of the interview game, these are the questions I got. Quite thought provoking I must say...in all the wrong ways.
1. If you HAD to go gay, who would you go out with a why? XD
I'm assuming I have to choose from people that are already gay, right? I'd have to go with Mani Caliveri (Berserk Sushi on AL), he's a pretty class guy all-around. I have a lot of respect for the man's intelligence though I think he gets a tad nit-picky in debates, fortunately I don't give a damn about politics so it would be a moot point. He appreciates how much of a bastard I am, so I won't have to worry about offending him and he can be pretty funny too. The only problem I forsee (aside from drastic differences in sexual preferences) is fighting over the radio, he likes pop-punk...I don't.
2. What are yout three biggest pet hates?
-Anyone who fits the profile of "sanctimonious fuckwad". You all know the type, those folks that pretty much think they're above any guideline, even the ones they set for themselves. The type of girl who'd chastise a friend of hers for being promiscous then go out the next night, get piss drunk and fuck a decent portion of the football team. Or say a guy who is wrapped up in religious values to the point where he contradicts himself, like stating anyone who isn't a Roman Catholic is going to hell.
-Couples who are overly touchy-feely. Any MRP kid that reads this knows exactly who I'm talking about. These are kids that are constantly all over each other for no reason...at the most inopportune times. I can dig if you're watching a romantic part of a movie at someone's house, it just goes with the territory. However, these people pull this crap just eating lunch, you'll be polishing off a corn dog and going to ask the guy if he's seen V for Vendetta yet then you look over and he's just randomly kissing his girlfriend and their hands are all over each other, get a damn room for Chrissakes. There's something insidious about it, in my mind, like something is horribly wrong with their relationship and both are extremely insecure so they try to overcompensate physically to balance it out. Be honest with each other, and don't wall yourselves up away from everyone else at the table.
-People who get overly offended at things that aren't one hundred per cent politically correct. Being a blatant asshole, this is something I run into a lot. You and your buds might be telling a funny joke thats a bit on the racist side and you're all laughing but then some punk pops out and proceeds to bitch you out for how cruel and inhumane you are. Fuck off kid, we were telling a black joke and the black guy in our group was laughing right along with us. I have a hunch these kids are really just doing it for attention to validate their otherwise pathetic and vacuous existence. Grow up, quit bitching and start laughing, people will like you more, I guarantee it.
On a side note it seems that the title "attention whore" seems to encompass all three of these pet hates of mine.
3. If Freddie Mercury and KISS got into a battle, who would win?
Hmm, I'll divide this into the three possible scenarios.
-Present Day: Freddie is dead, so KISS wins by default. However I'm pretty sure that Peter Criss, in his perpetual drunken stupor, with run into something and Freddie's urn will crash on his head, killing him.
-Late 1970s: I still say KISS, but Freddie will put up a much better fight this time around. His vicious overbite will slice through Peter Criss and Ace Frehley in one fell swoop, it will then resort to a fist fight between Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Mercury. Eventually they'll break off and draw lightsabers (Freddie with a dual one a la Darth Maul). The rockstars will fight all across the hallways backstage until Paul and Gene corner Freddie, where Gene will unleash his fire breath and nearly incinerate Queen's frontman. With his last burst of energy Mercury will run his saber through Gene and leave Paul as the last man standing making Kiss the victor.
-Astral Plane: This is where Mercury shines through. His powerful Zoro-astrian physic aura will conjure doubles of Kiss which will distract the New York rockers whilst Freddie, using his overbite-launcher, will shoot the four down at his leisure.
4. Would you say you are honestly cynical or are you more sensitive underneath it all?
No, I'm not that cynical, pretty much because I'm only eighteen and haven't experienced nearly enough of the world to become jaded with it. Yes, I am far more sensitive under my calloused exterior, I can still be hurt just as much as anyone else and I'm plagued by various insecurities and whatnot. Freud would probably be able to explain it better than me. I try to avoid being overly emotional because it would be extremely hypocritical of me to do so, sure plenty of insults aimed at me sting like a motherfucker but I'll be damned if I show it. Its what I expect from everyone else and I feel I should be held to the same standard. Besides, the only way I've ever been able to make people laugh (probably the thing I enjoy the most in life) is by making vindictive or snide comments and I'll be damned if I give that up to show my sensitivity. In short, do some digging and you'll find a sentimental side, but it won't manifest itself in every day conversation because I'd be rather boring if I were like that all the time.
5. Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
There are two possibilities, one is if I diligently practice bass guitar and learn how to sing and the other is if I don't.
1. I think I'll have had a band going for a bit and we'll begin our slow, grueling climb to the top, most likely playing smaller venues like St. Andrews and various bars. In that time we'll also be trying to find our musical niche and who'll be emerging as the top songwriters and stuff. Time'sll be tough financially but I'll be praying they'll pay off, I'll probably have a side job at the time to keep the bare neccesities readily available.
2. Pretty sure I'll be writing professionally now since I'm out of college. At this time I'll probably be a bit on the low end financially since I'll be bouncing around ideas for novels and only committing to writing a fair few, fewer still will get published and sell. Once again, just like the rockstar future I'll be slowly climbing to the top, but I know I'll make it, one way or another.
To get in on this game you have to:
1. Post a comment saying "interview me".
2. I will give you five questions which should be rather thought provoking.
3. Post this in your journal with a reply.
