I lead a boring life. Really.
A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it."
I tag you, Urban [geekiwi], and whoever else wants to play ( Read more... )

I'm consumed with curiosity. What did your sister do to you when she found out you stole her diary?
Now, let's see, here, since you've challenged me --
1. I got rejected from acting school a few times because I was too full of myself.
2. I don't like shellfish.
3. I do like spicy things.
4. I tried just about every illegal drug you could get in Wellington, as a kid, but fortunately never developed a habit.
5. Ironically, the first paid acting job I ever had was playing a heroin addict.
6. I love living in NZ because nobody really gives a shit if you're in Hollywood films -- they only give a shit that you're cousin Sally's mother's sister-in-law's best friend's daughter's husband and kei te pehea koe, how is your mum doing, oh, I'm glad to hear that, tell her to ring me up one of these days!
7. I fractured my ankle at age ten playing Indiana Jones with my friends. I leapt off a boulder at the beach and landed wrong.

1. I have one limb that somehow has no scars on it. To find out which one, you'll have to come see me sometime. *smirk*
2. Few things interest me more than a real paper book, preferably old novels.
3. Yes, I really am that talented in bed.
4. I hold the record for the most amount of shots done in one minute in 7 bars in San Francisco.
5. I am the only man in history to pass the Kobayashi Maru. Take that, Spock.
6. My Xeno-Bingo card, the official card mind you, is almost full. I have definitely declared bingo a few times.
7. I wear reading glasses. I think maybe a handful of people have actually seen me wearing them.

2. Really? What's your favorite?
6. Xeno-Bingo... oh. Sounds stimulating. *smirks*
7. I do too - well, contacts most of the time, but I do wear my glasses some of the time. Weird. Something else we seem to have in common.

2. You'll laugh. Treasure Island.
6. Tentacles is my favorite column.
7. Really? Nothing I've seen of you has a picture of you with glasses. Got one?
A question for you, then. Why did you...audition to play m... Kirk?

2. Treasure Island is fucking awesome.
6. ... Seriously?! Sounds like quite a tale.
7. I'm surprised; they're all over the internet. Here, for instance.

2) I like bourbon.
3) I hate space.
4) Pie is my favorite food.
5) I've had every member of my immediate family come back from the dead or appear from an alternate dimension.
6) ...
7) ...
I dunno, I got nothing else. I'll answer a question if you got one, though.

3. And yet it has its compensations?
4. Pie in general, or one in particular?
5. That's... fuck. *blinks*

3. I've met some interesting people on board. And Jim's up here.
4. Peach, if I've got a choice, but I don't believe I've met one I didn't like.
5. Don't get me fuckin' started. Let's just hope none of that makes it in to the next movie. Even for Sci-Fi, it's a little far-fetched.
Is your hair brown?

4. What's your opinion on adding ice cream? Yes or no?
5. Sounds intense, yeah.
Yes, it's brown. It was highlighted for the movie.

1. I like all kinds of tea, not just sweet tea.
2. I can ID most battlefields for important battles on sight through history.
3. I had two Dads.
4. My second favorite subject was literature.
5. Pavel punched out my last boyfriend.
6. I used to get into lots of trouble for punching boys when I was little.
7. My best friend Marcus used to call me Joey, when I was getting too big a head in the Academy.

1. I admit, I don't care much for sweet tea, but I'm more a coffee person.
2. That's impressive. Sounds like you have a good eye for detail, Joanna - is that what you go by? Joanna?
4. What a coincidence - I have an English degree.
5. ...Chekov?
6. Were you starting things, or were they just being obnoxious?
7. I assume I should make a note never to call you Joey? *grins*

1. Travesty. Coffee is awesome for work though. Tea is more of a civilized drink.
2. Jo, actually. Joanna makes me start wondering what I did wrong. Dad gets away with Jojo. Papa...My Jim, taught me history through the battlefields throughout. IT was unconventional, but history is mostly wars anyway so...
4. Really? That's kinda coool. So that why your LJ is erudite? Actor obviously 'cause that's probably your job...
And you can say whatever you want to me, without thinkin' about it. I'd prefer honesty to thought out pretties.
5. Yup. Big brother, in the old dimension, younger sister in this dimension. Big brother was a bit...protective.
6. Oh, they were being plenty obnoxious. Momma used to get after me to solve things with my words, but six year old boys don't understand words. They understood their face in the mud though.
7. Only if you want me cranky at you. Or figuring out your most annoying nickname and utilizing it.
Reply
4. Yeah, that's why I picked it, and then added the actor because that's what I do (and just plain 'erudite' was taken).
6. Sometimes we don't understand words regardless of age.

2. My grandad made me play the bagpipes. I am a horrible musician.
3. I can drink huge quantities of liquor and not vomit on the floor.
4. I once solved a engineering problem so complex, they refer to my solution in engineering textbooks. It has it's own chapter in some books.
5. I don't have a still onboard the Enterprise, but once I ran an illegal still for engine room hooch.
6. I almost beat the Kobayashi Maru once. I'm still certified to be Command.
7. I like to read.
Reply
4. Impressive.
7. What do you like to read?
Reply
4. I was nineteen and had no idea what I had done until I took it to my advisor for editing.
7. All sorts of things. Mostly Engineering Journals and comics, but I read lots of other stuff as well. I finished the last chapter of In Search of Lost Time last month. The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope by William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer is next up on my list because of all the work that's going to come with coming back from shore leave I won't have a lot of time, and my niece shows very big interest in engineering. If it's a good book, I'll send it along.
