The longest survey ever, which I'm working on answering
(skipped numbers mean I was bored and didn't feel like doing that question)This section completed on May 23, 2005
Start At the Beginning yourself
Part One | Part Two | Part Three
151. What is louder and more annoying: 200 adults talking or one four-year-old screaming? One four year old. I dislike children for the most part.
152. Do you believe the stories about planes, boats and people mysteriously disappearing into the Bermuda triangle? Well you know, since the stories are documented, duh. What people say about what happened, I don't know. I like mysteries and paranormal things.
153. Who are you the most jealous of? At the moment? People that seem to be living their daily lives without being jobless, not knowing what's going to screw up next, and basically being vaguely happy. I know that nobody is truly happy, but I wish I could at least fake it.
154. What is the happiest way you can start your day? Actually getting enough sleep I guess. But right now a job offer would be perfect.
155. Do you ever have moments where you feel like everything is all right in the world? Not at the moment no. Used to, a long time ago.
156. Who thinks that you are offensive? Apparently my old boss. Sorry, _really bitter_. Most people only think I'm offensive if they don't like listening to me talk. I'm sure that's a decent percentage.
157. If you had to teach a class in something, what would you be able to teach people? Non-linear filmmaking, music video making (probably better than convention versions too), and a couple other things. I know a lot of random stuff.
158. Have you ever had a spiritual experience (an experience that cannot be explained by science)? That's not spiritual. That's paranormal. Spiritual might qualify as paranormal, but oi. Spiritual experiences are really different from ghosts and stuff. Now that I've gone on that tangent: not really.
160. Do you get offended easily? When I'm called a moron, yeah.
161. Would you still love and stay with your signifigant other if he or she had to have a breast or testicle removed? I wouldn't care in the slightest, that's an idiotic question.
162. Do you believe in fate or free will? Hitsuezen.
163. Do you believe that only boring people get bored? No, sometimes people's brains wind down, and if nothing is in the process of entertaining them, it's not their fault. You can't think all the time.
164. Can life change or are we all stuck in vain? Life can change, but it's rarely what you expect or want. But usually what you need.
165. What changes are you afraid of? Continued unemployment. Not being able to support myself when I get married.
166. Are you a day person or nocturnal? It's 3 a.m., I'm nocturnal.
167. What one CD could you listen to for an entire week (no mixed CD’s, it must be an album)? There are almost no CDs I could do that with, but at the moment I'm still pretty addicted to Finally Woken by Jem.
168. Which is worse, working in retail, food service, or an office? Food service, followed by office. Office jobs bite, and I get fired from them.
169. What's the coolest job you ever had? I want to go back to the Banner Support Line. They knew what they needed me to do, I did it, and if there was nothing else I just waited for the next task. It wasn't any of this "There's ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO! MAKE YOURSELF BUSY!" crap.
170. What is one central idea that your thoughts seem to come back to? Right now, money and unemployment. Traditionally? Happiness and how can I manage to find it.
171. Have you ever wanted to be an actor/tress? It's been a very long time. Now I want to be a director.
172. If you had the power to control one person and make this person do anything you wanted for a whole day, who would you pick and what would they do? This is a hard one, because I'd have to consider all the possible side affects. It's tempting to be somebody important like the President or The Pope, but I'm not equipped to consider the ramifications of my actions and really know what it would do. Maybe I'd settle for being the publisher at my old job and having him be completly honest with everything, in print. That would scandalize the whole town, but make me feel better.
173. What star sign are you and what is your sign like? I'm a Leo, and I act like a Leo. I'm even obsessed with lions
174. Did the Blair Witch Project scare you? The Sci-Fi Channel preview show scared me. The movie did not, and didn't stick with me and scare me later either.
177. Do you like all your movies to be in wide-screen? I prefer it, because then you see the original vision. But I'm not anal retentive about it.
178. Are you a fan of any comic books? I like a lot of manga and graphic novels, they'd take too long to list. At the moment I make sure I keep up with Fables and Exiles.
179. At what age did you attend your first funeral? I don't remember, middle school I guess. I don't like thinking about it because I made an idiot of myself trying to comfort somebody.
180. What do you smell like (lotion, cologne, sweat)? At the moment, probably unbathed in general, I'm at Cyn's when I didn't mean to stay.
181. What are your greatest sources for wisdom? My parents, my best friend, and my fiance.
182. When you were little, where did your parents tell you babies come from? They didn't have to, I checked a book out from the library and read it.
183. What is your favorite band? I don't have one, because I think choosing favorites is dumb. You feel differently all the time, and no one thing can be exactly what you always want.
184. What's the best cheesy 80's song? I'll always say The Safety Dance, but I love a lot of 80's music.
185. What's the best kind of movie to see on a date? Something you both like, duh. Dates should be based on the people, not what "dates" are supposed to be about. My first movie date with my fiance was to see Princess Mononoke.
186. Do you like to sit in the front, middle or back of the Movie Theater? Middle. That's the only way to experience the film properly I think, with it filling your field of vision but still being able to see it all.
187. Have you ever been inside an abandoned building? There are people that haven't?
188. Under what circumstances would you agree to work for free? Right now, there aren't any. If I had the money to pay my bills and such, then it would be for charity.
189. Candles or strobe lights? Candles for almost anything but candles and dance parties don't mix.
190. Do you think the Lord of the Rings movies are true to the books or did Hollywood change the story too much? Of course they changed it too much to call them "true" to the books, but the question is were they good anyway and the answer is heck yeah.
191. When you see a stranger on the street does your first reaction lean towards thinking of this person as a potential friend or as a potential threat? I think of them as a potential "please don't touch me" and not much past that. 193. What do you really want to buy? For completly crazy spending, a Delphi MyFi. But for realistic-ness, I want to buy groceries that'll last me the rest of the summer.
194. You have to choose. Would you be happier marrying someone rich for their money or living in the streets and subway tunnels with someone you love? That's a really complex question actually. If you've never met the person you love, and you've only had people that were rich, wouldn't you go with rich rather than the chance that you might meet your love? Or would you hold out until you died of starvation? If you had your love in front of you, and a rich man to the left, then go with love because it'll probably work out in the end if you try. But this is really too simplistic, and people simplifying life and romance is one of the reasons for the divorce rate.
195. If someone wanted to understand you what book could they read that would help? There's not just one book. You could try by reading the original version of Skywalking, and see lots of my views on films and directing. Or you could read Till We Have Faces to see what really affects me and makes me cry. You could try the Black Jewels Trilogy to see my sides that I don't show most people. Or you could just give up and realize I'm a human being and one book can't come close.
196. Do you think it’s odd that Americans have freedom of religion and yet call themselves 'one nation under god'? What kind of idiotic simplicity of a complex situation is that? How completly undereducated a way to phrase it. If somebody understood the issue, they wouldn't think it odd, nor would they make kneejerk assumptions on it either.
197. In what sense are you a minority? I don't think the things that create majorities like color, social status, and things you can't change, mean much about a person.
198. Are you anti social? I can be.
199. Do you photograph well? I think I take good pictures. I don't think good pictures are taken of me.
200. Do you think that human beings would survivor through a nuclear winter? I thought the definition of nuclear winter was that we couldn't survive? But if there is a way, humanity would find it. We're tenacious.
