Interview The Member Below You

[Spherical Time]

I kept telling myself that I was going to look up the rules of this at another forum that I participate in, but I forgot, so I'll have to do my best comming up with the rules on my own.

I think it's pretty clear though. When you post, answer the question in the post above you, and then post a question for the next person that posts.

You can post as much or as little as you want for an answer.

Since this is the OP, I guess I'm posting the starting question:

How often do you write?

[rob]

when the urge compels me.

answer me this fellow post monkey: if space and time are but mere ideas then why do we feel compelled to exists in this controlled state?

[Spherical Time]

I reject the basis of the question. I do not think that conclusive evidence that we are compelled to exist has been offered. Further, I happen to believe that the perception of the controlled state may or may not collapse between quantum moments. The idea of the controlled state is more important to the question than the actual existence of the controlled state.

However, as a glome, I must say that that the existence of a controlled state is self determined. Everything is referential, but the matrix is determinable.

Where is your favorite place to vacation?

[WhispWillow]

Defiantly the countryside. I could never be any more pacific than that. Maybe somewhere in America.

What would be the last things you'd do if you knew the world was going to end tomorrow?

[lioness1612]

Tell my children/spouse/parents/friends that I love them and will see them on the other side.

What is the most important life lesson you have learned?

[DagunZain]

I've learned to be flexible and adaptive, and I hope that may trickle down to my fiction eventually.

So, what motivates you to write?

[WhispWillow]

When I am not distracted by other objects around me and its a gloomy day. I have to say I am not quite motivated, sometinhg which I ought to fix as well if I am to get anywhere.

If you had a chance to live in one period of time which would it be and why?

[Fixed]

I'd live in the Roman ages because i am fascinated by that era and would simply love to live the life of a roman legionaire whilst Rome ruled the world

what were you dreaming of becoming when you were younger, is your dream the same or has it changed

[Spherical Time]

My dream is the same, but I'm no closer to being the master of this universe than when I started studying up for it.

Who would you invite to dinner, assuming that you could invite anyone that has lived, and understand what they say?

[lioness1612]

Jesus

If you could travel anywhere where would you go?

[Cairo.Jackson]

I would like to visit Ireland, at least once.


What gives you the most satisfaction, and please, don't say anything out of social obligation?

[Spherical Time]

Recognition, and only slightly below that, achievement.

Where does your screen name come from?

[lioness1612]

My horoscope, (leo - lion) the numbers... the number 1 for 1st of july, my parents anniversary. 6 - for 6th of november, my oldest daughters b-day, 12 - for 12th of june, my son's b-day.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

[d00m5day]

[Nexus]

I was born in Canberra (A.C.T), Australia, but now I live in Brisbane up in Queensland.

Are you spiritual in any way and if so, how?
(e.g. believe in Zodiac, are a Muslim, are christian, Pagaen, etc.)

What would be the first thing you would do if a hot chick wanted to marry u?

[lioness1612]

Say "I'm flattered", but I dont think thats legal in the state of Louisiana...

If you could be anyone (other than yourself) who whould it be?

[Peter]

I guess it would have to be one of my heroes, Thom Yorke (of Radiohead). He's one of the few mainstream figures standing up for what really matters in the world today, and his lyrics are incredible. He also has the greatest voice in the universe. I'm completely and utterly tone-deaf.

Is your breakfast each morning healthy or insalubrious?

[Fixed]

healthy

who do you think are the two hottest actors in hollywood? pick one man and one woman

[Spherical Time]

Jake Gyllenhall and Cameron Diaz, if you mean "hot" as in physical attractiveness. If you mean "who can sell movies well" then I don't have a clue.

[Felony]

Titan A.E. and Super Mario Bros. (really old movie i'm not reffering to the video-game).

[IndianaJoan]

Is this gonna hurt?

[Milo]

Is this the five minute argument, or the full half-hour?


Is Darth Vader your father too?

[Felony]

My dad seems that evil...(I bet he's on the dark side of the force...i can feel it)

What would ou do if some1 walked up to you and smacked you in the face then kissed you?

[IndianaJoan]

My dad seems that evil...(I bet he's on the dark side of the force...i can feel it)

What would ou do if some1 walked up to you and smacked you in the face then kissed you?

Depends on how good the kiss was :P
Bad kiss..I'd smack em back..
Good kiss...I'd marry 'em

Do you feel that people dont understand/can't relate to your dreams of becoming a writer?

[Milo]

Forget other people. I'm not sure that even I understand/relate to my dreams of becoming a writer.

So you're in a bar, and a vampire drops down from the rafters.
Do you run for your life, or buy him a drink and ask him to tell you his life story?

[WhispWillow]

I would order him a pint of blood:p

I wouldn't think of running away for fear of him chasing after me.

If you were the leader of a country for one day, what would you do?

[Spherical Time]

Not much. It takes more than a day to do most things that I would want to accomplish. If possible, I would just let things run as they are.

[Spherical Time]

Someone that provides the stability that I can't always provide for myself. Someone that understands my dreams, and what it takes to achieve those dreams. Also, I'd like someone that's physically in shape, because I think that the internal comitment that I'm looking for can be mirrored on the outside.

[WhispWillow]

Ah you forgot teh question!

[boopy_cupid]

oops lol!

if you were stranded on a desert island who and what would you bring?

[Mercury]

I'd bring a fishing rod and Angelina Jolie.

Here's one right off the top of my head: You are given the ability to travel back in time to kill one person, who do you take out?

[Laimtoe]

Sargeant Nokkin. I was in the Millitary and that man tried to make me into his Beeeoootch (can we say the real word in these threads?). I hate that guy.

Did you know that Milk has Casein (glue used to paste wooden furniture together) and it has growth hormones (they're given to the cow to produce more milk and some of that winds up in the milk) and that actually detract from your bone health. And most of the nutrients in milk you don't recieve because it's liquid meat, and that it causes premature puberty which can cause deformities in future generations of offspring? And all of this is done to produce more milk simply because the dairy industry is owned by the Tobbacco company?

[Felony]

Your wish!?!

[Laimtoe]

This is the interview game not the evil wish game.

[Milo]

Yes, I knew all this about milk, and it worries the hell out of me. However, I LOVE angel delight.

It's a quandary, isn't it?

[Laimtoe]

Yes it is quandary And I like blue bunny ice cream... it's like eating a tasty box of glue, but I LOVE IT! (sounds so gross).

Quandary,good word: a state of perplexity or uncertainty, esp. as to what to do; dilemma. Simular good words include: impasse, quagmire, climacteric, dilemma, bewilderment, checkmate, Pandora's box, entanglement, catastrophe, plight, crisis, and many many other great words.

Did your sister ever hit on you?

[boopy_cupid]

very interesting *goes and throws out all the milk*

i dont have a sister lol so no

if u could do anything in the world what would u do?

[Milo]

Assuming I'm like invunerable, I'd ride the lava of an erupting volcanco on a snowboard.

Peanut butter, smooth or crunchy?

[Laimtoe]

I'd rather it be crunch, not because I think it tastes better or anything, but it makes me feel like I'm eating something healthy and not something that's been processed all to hell.

Have you ever gotten into a fist fight?

[Nexus]

no, im a complete woose and im still in school (Australian schools are pretty non-fightable). I did however kick a friend because he pissed me off and he kicked back. Even with steel capped boots, I hardly felt his kick as I was bouncing up and down holding my own foot which hurt like hell!

Have you ever cheated on a partner?

[Felony]

a girlfriend or wife?well i still date girls but when i was a teenager i did once.

have your parens ever lots their patience and grabbed you by the neck and slam you against a wall?

[Peter]

Nope. But to be honest, my mum's about five foot five, so if she did come at and grab me, I'd have to throw myself against the wall. Just not to hurt her feelings, you see.

What's your favourite word, and why?

[Felony]

Fidelity because i don't know what it means

[boopy_cupid]

lol good answer
"no question"

discribe your perfect date. include where when what you and he/she would wear what you guys would do and who would be your date

[Felony]

that's explicit content.....tis between me my girl and the hidden video recorder....

What would you do if you were kicked out the house by your wife and never allowed back in?

[Milo]

Throw a party.

Would you pay $35 million to go into space?

[Felony]

would you throw a party out side????

No.

Would you rather have a masion with nothing but toilet paper in it or a crappy house with bundles of $1 bills inside?

[Laimtoe]

I would rather have the mansion then sell the sucker. The housing costs and property taxes would kill me.

Would you rather castrate yourself or kill your best friend?

[Milo]

At my time of life castration ain't such a bad thing. And Ikinda like my best friend.

Do you think these either-or questions belong in the "would you rather" thread?

[Felony]

nope

Would you rather eat live fish or eat crap?

[Brazen]

I'll pick live fish. I'm not very fond of the idea, but the idea of eating someone else's...waste is just...

*Throws up.*

Would you give up the internet for life if you got paid one billion dollars for it?

[KaitonLocke]

Can't live without the net. So, no amount of money would get me to do it.

What would it take to get you to stick your head in a gator's mouth?

[Sapphire]

Nothing. :D

Would you jump into a pool of sharks if your best friend asked you to get something from the bottom?

[Veronica0406]

Oh hell no!

Would you?

[Laimtoe]

Just as long as the breed of shark didn't have a history of eating humans. There are some sharks that rarely/never eat humans. It just depends on what breed there is.

Which deal would you rather have? A million dollars up front, or a penny a day 'till the day you die?

[KaitonLocke]

Penny til the day I die

If you were told that you chad a chance to have ANY carrer that you desire, what would you say?

[Felony]

I would say "is this a joke?"

Would you rather live with lots of little kids or work at a retirement home?

[Laimtoe]

I'd rather work at a retirement home. I don't even know what the hell I'm supposed to say or do with kids and they wear me out and I can't think straight with them around.

Have you ever intentionally hurt yourself?

[Felony]

....I don't like this question...but yes just to see if dropping a cement brick on steel-toed boots really hurt...unfortunately it did...and for a long time too.

Have u ever been embarassed in public??

[Laimtoe]

Only when with my best friend while he's drunk.

Have you ever had a threesome?

[Nexus]

No, but ive gone all the way with another guy
(I am not 14, i am not 14)
PRIVELIGED INFORMATION

NO

What is the mildest swear word you know?

[Raven]

Bugger.


What do you know about Stephen Hawkings therory based on the three arrows of time. The three arrows of time are the thermodynamic arrow, phychological arrow, and the cosmological arrow.







~Raven. :)

[Nexus]

Sweet fuck all.


Do you think Hulls Raven is a physics nerd?

[Hellbent]

Abso-friggin-lutely

What would you do if people started turning into zombies?

[Raven]

The Only Natural thing Run.


What does Inter enim armin silenceux legosas mean?


~Raven :)

[Nexus]

Something from the Warhammer universe to do with destroying something.


Are you above 18 years of age?

[Hellbent]

Yes, I am 24.

How do you feel when you hear about people dying, like in a natural disaster, plane crash, war, or a random murder?

[Raven]

A little Sad for the loss of innocent life.

Why Do You Write.




What does Inter enim armin silenceux legosas mean?



Something from the Warhammer universe to do with destroying something.


Absolutly Not. :eek:
Guess again.
And forget about the Warhammer Universe.

[Mercury]

Because I love expressing myself this way.

Do you ever hate writing?

[Raven]

Only when I get a block and what comes out, reads jibberish. Or when I write a full chapter and I don't get the atmosphere or discription that I wanted to potray. Hence forcing me to start from the begining of that particular chapter.


If you had two children one Daughter and one son about the same age give or take a year. And they have an accident but the doctor can only save one which would you choose.
Would you choose your Daughter Or your Son. Bareing in mind you love them both the same.



~Raven.

[Felony]

I would make my wife decide.

Do you think my desicion is a good one?

[Nexus]

No, its not fair on the wife. I would just do eeny meeni miney mo on them, because the odd's are completely equal.

Do you think my line of thought is fair?

(Bear in mind that the situation means that sex, personality and physical characteristics dont matter because you love them equally)

[Raven]

There is no fair line of thought only one can live and one must die.
To choose is unfair yet the choice has to be made.
There is no correct answer.


If the same circumstance came up only this time it was your wife and eldest child that had the accident and only one could be saved. Which would you choose.
You love them equally but differently because you love your wife passionatly and you love your child because the child is yours.

[KaitonLocke]

I'd save the child, for no chold deserves to die while they are innocent. I'd raise her/him to be an outstadning perosn in my wife's memory.

The same situation, only involving your siblings. Which of them would you chose, knowing that you care for them equally.

[Peter]

"eeni meeni miney mo"

Translate this:

a;sljfoai suf klasjdfio uewroewj kljfo jlkjljoiuoiu j ljoiu kl ou kjoiuiekjl.

[Nexus]

I am trying to talk in a really stupid language.
(Is it accurate?)

Translate this:
Du bist ein blod doofshitzen

[Peter]

I am trying to talk in a really stupid language.
(Is it accurate?)

Yep! You got it exactly!


Translate this:
Du bist ein blod doofshitzen

I like grasshoppers. They always give me super noodles at midnight.


What is your biggest accomplishment?

[Felony]

no clue

[Raven]

What is your biggest accomplishment?

Simple.
My wife she is without a doubt the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on. So meeting her is my biggest accomplishment.


What is the most embarrasing thing you've ever done.

[Felony]

run into a pole while riding a bike then falling off and getting back up and do it thrice more before realizing what you are doing....

Name one time when you did something that you sincerely regretted.

[M.Kirk]

I can't really think of anything I truly regret right now. Don't get me wrong, I've done my share of stupid things (and being a teenager I'm sure I'll do plenty more), but I've always seemed to get something out of my mistakes.

Any kind of writing takes inspirtaion. What inspires you?

[Raven]

Mostly My previous experiences within the British Army.

Would do you kill a hundred people to save a million?

[Nexus]

Yes.


Is murder ever justified?

[Raven]

Only if its to safe people. i.e. to kill a killer who would strike again and again is justifable.

Do you agree with Gearge W Bush's actions in Iraq that eventually brought Saddam Hussain down.






~Raven.

[Felony]

No I think if Bush was smart he would call every1 out of Iraq (since he already have Saddam). But now more soldiers are dying then before.

Would you lie to your wife if you thought it would affect your realtionship?

[Raven]

Too Right.

Why do you think America stay in Iraq.

[M.Kirk]

I think Bush made a great decision in putting troops in Iraq. They may not have bombed us, but Afganistan did. We're in a war against terrorism, and there are terrorists in Iraq. But this thread isn't about the war on Iraq, so let's not make it a political debate, ok?

What is your first memory as a small child?

[Felony]

I will make a debte thread just u wait ......just kidding every1 is entitled to there own opinion and I respect that.

Being grounded 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

What was the best and worst thing that ever happened to you please tell me both as of 2 seperate occasions

Nearly forgot my question.

My emotions, with a prod from my muse Serenity.

What motiveate you to join a forum?

[M.Kirk]

I was not making it Political I was asking a question for the next person. ok?
Was this really necessary, Raven?

I like to write. I joined because I wanted to further my writing skills and possibly even help somebody else further their's. And what I found pleasing about this forum was the number of people on it. There aren't as many as on other forums I've joined, so it didn't seem as crowded and unpersonal.

Do you play an instrument? If so, which one(s)?

[KaitonLocke]

Was this really necessary, Raven?

[Felony]

I like forums and phones

[Raven]

What, if any, form of communication do you prefer using? Phones, chat programs, forums, e-mail, letters, etc.

I don't really know its not something I think about they all have there uses.

[Raven]

I haven't been sleeping that well recently, due to the heavy pain meds that I've been on. I tend to zone for about 4 hours before I can sleep, and then I sleep in late.

I asked that question because i too haven't been sleeping well.


My favorite smiley would be wink.


What do you do when your really tired but just can't sleep?

[Spherical Time]

Imagine gray fuzz. If my mind connects to anything else, I do this thing where I force the fuzz over everything. It doesn't always work, but one out of ten times it works very well.

Tell me about where you live?

[Raven]

I live in the United Kingdom in a town called Hull.
Its very isolated from the rest of the UK in every aspect. We have our own independant phone company NOT BT and its a blessing and a curse at the same time we can only get the one internet provider (KC)

We are very different to the remainder of the UK.


Tell me about were you live?

[Spherical Time]

I live in the state of New Mexico in the United States, in a city called Santa Fe. Well, they call it that. The real name of the city is:

La Villa Real de Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asis en Neuvo Mexico.

It's one of the most expensive places to live in the United States, and I love it, but where my house is located is also very isolated. I just had a huge problem with internet access as well. I used to have dial up, but it was way to slow for us, so we recently switched to a satellite internet connection because neither DSL or cable service where I live.

How much time do you spend online?

[Raven]

It depends if I've got nothing on and i'm bored about 3 to 4 hours at a time.

About an hour or less.
Except late at night when I can't sleep well I spend a good few hours then.

How much time do you spend online?






~Raven.

[Spherical Time]

Right now? 12 to 16 hours a day. I can't do much else.

What's your favorite website?

[KaitonLocke]

Deviant Hearts

Hoe long have you been surfing the net?

[Spherical Time]

Today, or ever? About ten hours today, and gosh, it's been years and years. Maybe since the early nineties? That wouldn't surprise me. I have no way to really find a definite answer to that though.

What's the coolest thing that you've done in the last month?

[Felony]

Nothing really

How about you?

[Raven]

Went white water rafting:cool:

What is your favourite letter in the alphabet?

[Spherical Time]

Q, because it's very self important and there's one in my name, followed closely by Z.

What's your favorite show to watch on television?

[Peter]

Apart from the odd football match and documentary, I don't watch television. But I loved "Peep Show". That's a great sitcom.


What is your favourite quote, and why?

[Raven]

Now thats a tuff one.
Hmmm. It vary's My favourite show at the moment to watch is CSI Miami.
However Babylon 5 is proberly one of my all time favourite shows because it was written very well indeed.
I also loved the short run Firefly series. Don't know what it was about the show but it was one of those magically written story's.
Another classic would have to be Band Of Brothers.


Who is your favourite Sci Fi villian and why?

[Spherical Time]

The ones that I've written, actually. In pop culture? I'd have to say that Zorg from the Fifth Element, or the Ori from Stargate SG1.

Tell me about the favorite idea for a story that you've had?

[Raven]

Something based on the dirty Dozen only in the future and maybe renamed the last chancers.


Tell my what you'd like to write about next and why?

[Spherical Time]

Hmm, after my current book? I'd like to write a book about my interpretations of Christianity. Of course, I'd have to publish it under a different name from my other work.

Tell me about your family?

[Felony]

they let me mooch off them. Can be really mean sometimes but I still got 2 parents. They were harsh on me as a child.

Tell me about yours.

[Spherical Time]

My parents are split up, and my little brother is a U.S. Marine. He'll be going back to Iraq soon. I live with my mother, because I can't live on my own with my injury.

Tell me about your favorite computer or board game?

[Felony]

World of Warcraft.

What is your injury?....Will it ever get better? How did you get it?

[Spherical Time]

I have a broken neck, a C-2 fracture. It's serious, but it's the best way to break your neck. I'll be okay, but I'm confined to bed/chair for 3 months, of which about 1 has passed.

I was in a car accident. Another car ran a red light, and I couldn't react quickly enough. I've only been able to sit up an type for the last week or so.

What's the worst thing that's ever happened to you?

[Felony]

When my dad threw my against a mirror that (luckily) didn't shatter. And the time when I was in the fourth grade and I was first diagnosed with new medicine for my ADHD. The medicine didn't work and my grades were all F's. My parents threatened to send me to juvinille hall or to get rid of me. I was grounded 24-7 in a cold dank basement bedroom. I was bored stiff. They would always yell and I never got help. I finally gave up. And let what grades were good fall. My life was what I would call the abyss. I was always alone and mistreated. It is alomst bad enough to make a horror story out of it.

I'm very sorry for you. I hope you get better soon. Best wishes and greetings. I hope it heals and you will be whole once more. I would give you a get well card but that's kinda hard to do online..lol. Anyways back on topic.

would you rather love someone or be loved by someone?

[Spherical Time]

You could make a horror story out of that, all though I'm sorry you had to go through that.

I'd rather be loved by someone. All I usually get is the other way around.

Would you rather be a leader or a genius?

[Felony]

Genuis cuz It would help me pass college.

Would you rather be famous and rich or normal but well respected?

[Spherical Time]

Famous and Rich.

I think we're playing out the wrong game though. Sorry, that was my fault.

Tell me about your favorite artwork?

[Raven]

My favourite Arkwork usually varies from time to time. But I like Dark and Gothic Pictures Of churches, Cathedrels and old buildings like that.

WHo do you love the most in your life?

[Spherical Time]

I dunno, probably my parents, for taking care of me.

What does your name (screen or real) mean?

[Raven]

My name means Raven as in the giant blackbird. I earnt my name respectably so now everyone who knows me calls me Raven and has done for a long time now.
When on the net I use the name Hulls Raven simply because my name is Raven and I'm from a small isolated town in the UK called Hull.

Universe expanding contracting?
or forever expanding?

[Spherical Time]

I do not have enough information to accurately give an answer to that question, but given my understanding of it, I hope it's forever expanding.

Do you regularly deal with something that has become common to you, but might be interesting to other people?

[Raven]

I deal with many things on a regualr basis these days.

What Is The Meaning Of Life?

And the answer is not 42 thank you very much:p

[Spherical Time]

To me, the meaning of life is life. It's like asking what the number of 42 is. The question doesn't make sense.

Tell me something interesting about the country you live in?

[Raven]

I'm British.

Tell me something interesting about the country you live in.

[Spherical Time]

Is anyone else beginning to hear an echo?

Well, let's see. America is a large place. We spend more on our military than any other country, nearly four times more than China and India, even though those two countries together have nearly six and a half times the population.

With China's changes in the death penalty, we also have an increasingly out of date view of morality for a first world country. We fall into a very odd group of countries, when put that way.

We also don't have a opinion representative government, we have a dual party system . . . but that's not that interesting probably.

Tell me about your favorite superhero?

[Raven]

Batman. Because he is the Dark Knight.

Tell me about your favourite Super Hero and why

[Spherical Time]

I'm a large fan of Batman as well, because I think that he's intellectual and tormented and I think he has a good reason to become what he became.

I also like the X-Men (in any combination or era). I'm fascinated by the idea of the Phoenix, and I'd like to right a sequel to the Dark Phoenix saga someday.

What's you're favorite book?

[Raven]

My favourite Book is by the author Dan Abnett and the book is called Malleus. Its about an Inquisitor who stumbles into the qworld of corruption and decays himself into this world. But the way the story is written you start to understynd why and think that I'd do the same in his shoes. Basically the book gets your mind seriouslty thinking and a book that can do that is worth reading.

What is your favourite book and why. What makes it your favourite book?

[Spherical Time]

I don't have just one. Right now, I'm especially impressed by Issola by Steven Brust. Issola really pulls together the main character of Vlad from the previous books in the series. The entire thing was brilliant, interesting, and progressed the storyline in an interesting way.

Tell me about the music that you like?

[Raven]

I like so much of different styles of music.
From Mike Oldfield (http://www.mikeoldfield.com/) to Gothrock band the Mission. (http://www.themissionuk.com)
The Mission though have to be my favourite band.

I also like various country music and country rock singer Bret Michaels (http://www.bretmichaels.com). I also have a collection of mixed dance albums.
But Id have to say my roots for music are with Rock.


What type of music do you like?

[Spherical Time]

Darn it, a long post deleted.

I like a couple of different kinds of music. I like pop and pop rock, even those kinds that are universally reviled. I also very much like Electronica, especially Trance and Chill.

A few of the artists that I like (trying to link to them lost me this post last time, so it's just a list) are: BT, Chimera, Boomerang, The Backstreet Boys, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Moby, and Greenday.

[Raven]

Pain

If you had to write a story based in the future what would you call it and what would it be?







~Raven.

[Spherical Time]

Endless Light, based on Olber's paradox. Oops, sorry, you asked what the book would be. Well, I'm currently writing it, so read it when it's published. :)

What do you think you would call your first published book?

[Raven]

Victory Denied.

If you had to write a story about your life what would you call it?

[Spherical Time]

Hmmm. . . I would call it "Un-Drive" probably.

What's the first website that you visit everyday?

[Raven]

40konline. (http://www.40konline.com) I work for them keeping other members in line and producing research work and various other things. Its a really big site.

Do you host any forums or have a website?

[Spherical Time]

I have my own forum, but at the moment, no one is using it. I also have my own website for my business, and I write a blog, although I've been doing that less and less lately because I have trouble typing for long periods.

I also moderate at a forum with 16k members, and 3.8 million or so posts. I belong to about a dozen more.

What is you favorite thing to do on your day off?

[Raven]

Sleep when it happens.

What are your thoughts about Alcohol?

[Spherical Time]

I don't drink often, never by my self. I don't like the taste of alcohol, so I don't drink it. Occasionally I'll have a mixed drink with food. That's it.

What do you think about drugs?

[Raven]

They are for idiots. I've never been interested in them.

What do you think of drugs and the implications that go with them?

[Spherical Time]

Well, I personally don't do any that aren't prescribed by a doctor. However, I do think that in the States, most drugs should be legalized. The U.S.'s war on drugs has been a failure, and I'd like to see better progress on those sorts of issues.

What's your favorite song?

[Raven]

What is your favourite song and why what is it you like about that persific song.

Aenea, from Dan Simmons Hyperion Cantos. That's my favorite work of science fiction.

Who's your favorite author, and what's your favorite book of theirs?

[Raven]

I'm not sure I really have a favourite author.
However at the moment I have to say my favourite book is a book called Malleus written by Dan Abnett. I read it a few years back and it still remains my favourite story.

What is the one thing you regret in life and wish you'd done?

[Spherical Time]

I wish I'd been more . . . er, slutty. I wish I had more of a social life. Even now, I don't really date.

Who is your ideal mate?

[Raven]

My Brother Inlaw.


Who is your Best friend and why is he your best friend what binds you in this way?

[Spherical Time]

Elliott. Because we were outsiders together. I miss him, and I can't wait to see him at his wedding.

What place would you like to live, if you couldn't live where you do now?

[Raven]

Thers one place i really want to live and thats Canada. And soon I'll be moving up there.

What is the one place you never want to go to and why?

[rob]

the absolute psychotic despair of amphetamine addiction.
because there ain't no looking back from self induced psychosis.

gay for johnny depp?

[Raven]

I don't understand your question.
So I'll have to just ask a question.



What is your favourite Colour? And Why?

[Spherical Time]

Ooh, I'll answer both questions:

To rob: Yes, but I already was anyway.

To Hulls: Green. I don't know why. Probably because in the popular association of colors, green is more neutral.

What's your favorite time of day?

[Raven]

6am in the morning. When I take the dog out for his morning work its like walking through a ghost town the calmness its magical. No noise barely any traffic just one or two cars and the odd person walking their dog.
I love it.

What part of the day do you dislike?

[Spherical Time]

Mornings, because I can't wake up.

What's the best present you've ever received?

[Raven]

A card made by my two eldest children on my birthday.

Whats the most expensive thing you've ever bought someone and why did you spend that much?

[Spherical Time]

Probably the silver bowl I got for my cousin for her birthday, or a present for my mother. Usually I give handmade stuff to other people.

What's your favorite candy?

[Raven]

I hate Candy Infact I hate all sweet stuff never liked chocolate as a kid or sweets.

~Raven.

[zerobytes]

Chocolate chip cookies...if that can be considered food. I've eaten them as a meal enough times.....
/goes to find a chocolate chip cookie.

What is the most exotic location you have visited?

[Raven]

Proberly Cyprus.

What/where is the one place you want to die?

[Spherical Time]

Outer Space. I'd love to die and then be left to drift into a sun or star. I think there's something romantic about that.

What alien would you meet, if you could meet an alien from any fictional source?

[Raven]

That would proberly be a techno mage from Babylon 5 hands down i think if they were real i could have one hell of a chat with one.

What is your favourite Sci Fi show and why what is it that makes you like that particular show?

[Spherical Time]

Battlestar Galatica right now. Because I think it was well conceived and well written, and they take the show very seriously. I'd like to see a Star Trek with the same sort of preponderance thought devoted to it.

Do you like Fantasy, and if so, what is your favorite work of fantasy?

[Raven]

Yes I like Fantasy but I'm not sure what my favourite fantasy is at the moment. They all tend to have the same theme.

What is your interpretation of the meaning of life. What does it mean to you personally and why?

[Spherical Time]

That's much to long to be answered here. I think the meaning of life is life. It means that life is vitally important to me.

What religion do you belong to, if any?

[Raven]

I belong to nothing.

Why do you believe in god?

[Spherical Time]

I don't.

What does your house or apartment, or room look like?

[Raven]

Well the wife makes us keep it tidy so i guess tidy.

What does your apartment home look like?

[Spherical Time]

It's a studio, white, with higher ceilings and wooden trim. It's oddly shaped, sort of like a square hand mirror. My main living space is the face of the mirror. In front of the main door is my television and stereo, because I always use the back entrance with the glass door and the windows that look over a beautiful hill and landscape.

Over the doors are a few of my drawings, framed, and there are a few more over the head of my bed, which is along the wall on the opposite side from the windows. Over the bed are bookshelves, the nicest ones that I've ever owned. Most of the books that I own are there, mostly science-fiction and fantasy, but a few old school books.

In a little outlook next to the glass door is a little kitchenette that I almost never use.

If you come down to the mirror handle, you have the closets and the bathroom. The closets are nice and large, but I wish the bathroom and closets were on the opposite sides because the bathroom is cold in the winter.

Tell me about your first bike or car?

[PencilJockey]

My first car was a 1984 Toyta Corolla that was the color of a shiny penny. I thought it was the ugliest thing at first sight. It had great mileage and a good price though so I bought it anyway. I was all about getting wheels and getting out of my parent's house and not about vanity. Unfortunately I lost it in a nasty accident less than a year later.

Describe your perfect vacation.

[Spherical Time]

A permanent one. NYC, Miami, Ibiza, Venice, then Ireland, and then a couple of days back home in a nice hotel before I have too move in.

What would you do on a single day off if money was no object?

[Raven]

Get back in the sky.

What would you do if you had an endless pit of money would you keep it and live from it or would you give to those who need money?

[Spherical Time]

Both, if it was endless. Depends on how much there was. I'd probably keep enough to live on first, and then see how much was left that I could give to charity. There are some good charities out there.

What would you do if you found a thousand dollars on the side of the road in a wallet with an ID?

[Raven]

Take the money lose the wallet and spend £700 on my three kids and use the other £300 to take my wife out.


Actually same question
What would you do if you found a thousand dollars on the side of the road in a wallet with an ID?

[Spherical Time]

Buy a PS3, spend the rest on something for my mom.

Who do you think should be in charge of your country (aside from yourself)?

[Raven]

The monster Raving Loony Party. lol Not really sure Tony Blair has really let us down. He's all but destroyed our healthcare and as for our police force their not much cop anymore. So I'm not sure now.

If you had the choice would you rather die or spend eenternity in Ireland?

[Spherical Time]

Eternity in Ireland, most likely.

What is your favorite book? (If I've asked this before, I apologize.)

[Raven]

Eisenhorn.

What is your favourite book and why?

[Spherical Time]

Right now, I'd have to say it's Issola by Steven Brust. It's a brilliant example of his work, and it ties together may of the stories and questions from his other works. Altogether brilliant.

What is your favorite kids' game?

[Raven]

lol connect four always has been. :)

What is your favourite game of all time and why?

[The Yellow Matrix]

My favorite game of all time is Bomberman, the family computer version! It's the game I used to play as a kid! When I was around eight I love coming back home from school just to play Bomberman. I could finish all fifty levels in less than an hour! I especially enjoyed it more when I learned about Bomberman's story, about how he's a robot being forced to work in a factory and who wants to escape to the surface, to be one of the humans!

Could you speak another language? (Other than English, perhaps?)

[PencilJockey]

I could, if I studied another language.

What do you do the pay the bills?

[Eoz Eanj]

N/A. My mummy pays the bills. Good on you mummy.

Do you like South Park?

[Raven]

Nope I hate it its trip.
Long Live the Simpsons lmao

Do you like the Simpsons.

[Eoz Eanj]

All 6 billion episodes.

What's your real name?

[ariella]

My real name is Sherie, Ariella is a character in a book I'm writing.

What do you prefer ice-cream or chocolate?

[Eoz Eanj]

Chocolate icecream ? :D

What's your most embaressing moment?

[ariella]

The day after 18th, when I realised we had gone off up the street and glued all our underwear the public toilets. Not a good look hey.

Same question, what's your most embaressing moment?

[Spherical Time]

Making a fool of myself in front of my elementary school teachers. They were friends of my parents, and every time I see them, they remind me of it.

Who do you think is the best role model?

[The Yellow Matrix]

My role model is Friedrich Nietzsche, because he believes that god is dead. Like it means anything...

How do you know that god exists?

[Spherical Time]

I believe the opposite, and my main reason for believing that is popularly referred to as "The Problem of Evil." I am an incidental Buddhist, and Buddhists do not necessarily believe in God or gods.

Where does your screen name come from?

ETA: Incidentally, Niezsche intended his comment "God is dead" to be ironic, if I recall correctly. It was said by the madman as a lament.

[Frost]

I was eating a frosty fruit icey pole at the time.

Have you ever done a drug?

[Raven]

No

Have you ever been bullied?

[ariella]

Yeah by my the father of my kids.

Have you ever been arrested?

[Raven]

Yeah by my the father of my kids.

I'm real sorry to hear that. Things like that are wrong.


No I've never been arrested I love my kids to much to risk my freedom.

Have you ever been so hurt that you felt alone more than ever even in a room filled with people?

[Mr Steve]

I'm real sorry to hear that.

Have you ever been so hurt that you felt alone more than ever even in a room filled with people?

Yes, I often feel alone, even though I have a girlfriend, loving parents and a baby on the way. I just feel different I guess the word is.



What made you start writing?

[Raven]

Life I've seen some things that should be left alone. And some of those stories need telling. But thats for publication only.
Other than that I have a passion for sci fi and have plenty of stories running around my brain ready to explode so i write them down and the good ones i keep and put into a story to share with anyone that will read them.


Yes, I often feel alone, even though I have a girlfriend, loving parents and a baby on the way. I just feel different I guess the word is.

Well believe me you are not alone in that thought.


Why do you feel alone and what contributes to that feeling?

[zerobytes]

I think I feel alone when I hide things from other people, particularly my family. It creates this bizarre sense of solitude - like no one understands me. Which is funny because then I try and MAKE people understand me through my writing. It's all one vicious cycle. But yeah, honestly sharing feelings and ideas makes me feel more connected with people.

Do you use writing as an emotional outlet. If so, how?

zb

[Mr Steve]

Do you use writing as an emotional outlet. If so, how?

zb


When I first started writing poetry it use to be filled with teenage angst mostly about cutting and what not. Now a days I look at online poetry and cringe at such writing about how whiny it sounds :P


Does music have any inspiration to your writing?

[Eoz Eanj]

bump

[Eoz Eanj]

Music helps me find my words and generally helps me make sense of those words.


Are you happy?

[Raven]

While my kids wife and dogs draw breath then I'm happy.

Are you happy or ar you unsure of what your state of mind truly is?

[The Yellow Matrix]

I guess I am happy. You see, I am currently unemployed and still looking for the job that I like, not those that want me, and then, I'm in debt, and I'm kinda broke and my dad keeps pestering me to go to law school like he did but sometimes I find it hard to believe that I could actually do it.

But, when all is said and done, I am still happy. Life is what you make it to be. Next day or so, I'll be different, older at least, and today will never come back again. So why should I be unhappy today? If I am happy now, at least tomorrow I'll remember today to be a happy day. It's all in the head. :-)

What's the happiest ever moment in your life?

[Raven]

The borth of all three of my children moments like that cannot be beaten.

WHats the sadest thing you've ever experienced

[Mr Steve]

WHats the sadest thing you've ever experienced

Signing my divorce papers on valentines day.

Have you ever stole an idea of a story from somewhere else?

[Raven]

No. Theres no joy in another persons work.

Same Question again.
Have you ever stole an idea of a story from somewhere else?

Signing my divorce papers on valentines day.

Ouch I feel for you on that!

[PencilJockey]

Absolutely not. How could someone claim something as their own when it started out as someone else's?

If you could go back in time to one point in your life, but not be able to change or interfere, which point would you choose to see again?

[ariella]

The Friday before my brother passed away. He took my 2 yr old for a drive and my boy was so excited about it. Both of them had the biggest smiles on their faces, I'd love to see that again.


What is your favourite day of the year and why?

[Raven]

Christmas Eve.
It has always been my favourite day since i was a kid. Even in the army we enjoyed the magical spirit and took to carol singing. (And Pranks lmao)

Now It is still my favourite day because i get to see my kids become excited and joyful because Santa Clause is coming that night to bring their presents.

And I still feel the magical spirit of that one day.


Same Question again.
What is your favourite day of the year and why?

[Frost]

The day of a cricket match, when your team is 180 runs down, the top four batsmen are out, and the team is banking on the middle order to steady the ship(middle order = me).

Favourite cd?

[Mr Steve]

Favourite cd?


Tough choice. I seem to go through different favourites like a fat man charging through a buffet. But I guess I've played Nirvana's - Nevermind more than any other CD. I've played it so much that the back has worn away and it skips alot. I do need to get a new copy.

What do you think of celebrity's. Would you like to have a celebrity lifestyle?

[Spherical Time]

Yes. I'd enjoy the coy games with the media, and I'd like the exposure.

what job would you do if you could do anything?

[Eoz Eanj]

Comedian

Preferably one that people actually like.

Who is your favourite comedian?

[Spherical Time]

Jon Stewart, but for some unfathomable reason, I also like Kathy Griffin. I think her reality show is bizarre but I can't turn away.

Who is your favorite politician?
