    I'm big on hoping to give the reader an 'Ah-ha!' moment. When I've done my craft well there will be a part of the story where the reader gets hits with a hidden left jab. I get a lot of enjoyment out of that.


    Do you make a big deal out of celebrating Halloween?

    (Damn you @Masked Mole !)

    I want to be the type of writer where if I moved in next to you all your plants would die.

    Given how much of a shitstorm it already is, is it acceptable to personally insult (not just debate in a somewhat harsh way) people on the Internet as long as their arguments are flawed?

    Fender Jaguar, Mexican made. I like all sorts of music, and Jags are great for tone flexibility. The Mexican ones have a killswitch, which is always fun to mess with. And they just look cool. Not so bizarre that you look like a poser, but not boring like a Strat or Les Paul. But I think how is more important than what you play.

    It's not even a thing where I live. I'd probably dig it if it was genuinely about spooky stuff and tradition, but pop cultural osmosis suggests to me that it's mostly a commercial event. The main thing I hate about capitalism is how greedy it is, to the point that it corrupts anything with meaning if it can make a quick buck. But yeah, no experience with Halloween, so maybe I'm jumping the gun.

    One can say what one wants, but I think that ad hominem attacks speak volumes about your own personality (as well as devaluing your actual contention, and the likelihood that you'll ever convince anyone, assuming you're arguing). I'd rather be stupid than an arsehole.
    ---

    And I believe we're back on track. So, have you ever made a collection of anything (something physical, not just words or ideas or whatever)?

    I collect Life Magazines from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Mainly for the advertisements, occasionally for the historical aspect.

    Name one true thing that has happened to you that is so odd or unbelievable that a random person on the internet may suspect that you made it up.

    I didn't skip your question :p My favourite time of day is during my first cup of coffee of the day. Since my sleep-pattern's a little erratic at times I can't name a specific time of day :ghost:

    I day-dreamed about kissing a girl in second grade, and ended up kissing a boy in real life on the lips :blech:

    How do you get a girl to like you? (Maybe I should've asked a different question...)

    A guy I met at a bar once said that laughter is the surest way into a woman's bed. I can't say that I disagree. Haha.

    How do you drink your coffee/tea?

    Tea black, no sugar. Coffee with one sugar and one cream.

    How often do you go to bed and get up again when you're not tired enough?

    I run the risk of doing that every night, but it probably only happens once a week. I'm a light sleeper so I wake up at all hours and on days like today will get up for a while before making a second attempt.

    How did you meet your best friend?

    Not often. Once I am in bed, I tend to stay there. I either think about this guy, or I get on my phone for a while.

    What is one thing that puts a smile on your face?

    Ocean, lake, river, live fish, structural damage, anthrax, Ronald McDonald (has no business being anywhere)

    If you could choose to excel at one mental or physical trait (to the detriment of all others; e.g. strength, beauty, intelligence, speed, empathy, etc) or be average at all, what would you go with?

    Intelligence, since that wouldn't be unlike how I was in middle school.

    If you could get rid of any one plant type, what would it be?

    Well, I think romance. And no, I don't mean some sick almost porn based book like 50 Shades of Grey.
    I just mean something sweet with intimacy.

    Who is your best friend on this forum?
