When were you happiest?
That's hard to pinpoint. When I was surrounded by everybody I loved last year at the family reunion? That's my answer for now.

What is your greatest fear?
Losing everybody I love, and falling from high places.

What is your earliest childhood memory?
I was 4 years old, I had somehow managed to get my forehead stuck to a frozen pole, and I ripped a good chunk of skin out as a result. I wore the bandage for god-knows-how-long, and this lead to the memory: My entire family and their friends pinning me down on the kitchen floor at the old farmhouse trying to get the damn thing off of me.

What living person do you most admire and why?
Never in a million years would I ever imagine myself saying this (spending the week out there made me realize some things), but my aunt. As much as she still pisses me off. She's quite incredible.

What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
Lack of motivation to do anything of use to anyone. :ymsigh:

What is the trait you most deplore in others?
Douchebaggery.

What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought (not including a property)?
Our bed. On my own, my wedding dress... Which still hasn't arrived... :-w

What is your most treasured possession?
The jewelry box my grandmother gave me for my 12th birthday, along with most of the items in it, which were hers and my mother's.

Where would you like to live?
Somewhere in Europe. I'm quite partial to Finland, Sweden, and Germany. :3

What would your super power be?
Teleportation. For obvious reasons.

What makes you depressed?
Right now, knowing how many of my mom's friends are suddenly thinking of her and missing her, and knowing that I still have more people to tell the news to...

Who would play you in the movie of your life?
Oh damn, I have no clue. As far as physical semblance goes, no matter what photo I put in, MyHeritage tells me I look like Christina Ricci, so maybe if she gained a few dozen pounds, that would work...

What is your favorite book?
Heidi by Johanna Spyri. I read that book countless times as a child, and still get the urge to read it

What is your favorite smell?
Orange or... This may sound creepy, but Derek. Love how he smells. lol

What do you most dislike about your appearance?
I'm quite overweight. Although it doesn't bother me as much now, knowing that Derek actually likes me like this. Doesn't mean I'm not trying to drop some of it though.

What is your guiltiest pleasure?
Really horribly, poorly made, awfully cheesy-scripted porn. That's right. I said it. CHEESY.

What do you owe your parents?
EVERYTHING.

What does love feel like?
Uncontrollable excitement and deep calmness all mixed together with a dash of *happy sigh*

Who would you invite to your dream dinner party?
My mom, both of my grandparents, my little sister... It would really be the ultimate family reunion.

Which words or phrases do you most overuse?
"Goddamn", "I win!", and probably "GAH!", if you count it as a word... Oh, and "probably", probably.

If you could edit your past, what would you change?
I don't think I'd change a thing. Every little thing that has happened has led me to where I am right now, and I'm incredibly happy. It may not be where I planned to be, but I'm happy with the way things turned out.

When did you last cry, and why?
My sister's graduation a little over a week ago. My baby girl's growing up...

How do you relax?
Watching something funny on DVD. Scrubs or How I Met Your Mother. Or playing a video game.

How often do you have sex?
Once or twice a week, most of the time. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

What's the closest you've come to death?
"Every day sends future to past
Every step brings me closer to my last.
"
I don't think I've ever been close to death personally, but it's always surrounded me. Mom, my grandparents, a couple of close friends from school when I was young... It follows me, but doesn't seem to touch me. This scares me sometimes.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?
I think that knowing that I make certain people happy on a near-daily basis is a pretty big achievement.

What keeps you awake at night?
I often have a similar problem to DnE -My brain just doesn't want to shut off. That coupled with dozing off in the afternoon against my will, makes for many a restless night.

What song would you like played at your funeral?
Shut-Up and Smile by Bowling for Soup. I'm not even kidding. I want people to be happy at my funeral. NO GODDAMN TEARS.

Where would you like to be right now?
I'm quite happy where I am. Home. But maybe in a nice house rather than this apartment. :)

when were you happiest?

March 15, 2008. It had been 5 years since I had seen my best friend in person. In other words I had waited a quarter of my life for this moment.

It went down just like in a dream I had, You're talking on the phone together, you see someone who looks like them in general, you both stop for a second, go "Oh my God" and run to hug each other. I just stood admiring her for a minute, then she grabbed my hand and we started walking. Awkward at first, after all, we talk constantly, just haven't seen each other in 5 years. I wasn't able to sense her energy this time though, it used to be that the strength of our bond allowed me to be a radar to her very soul. Held hands and walked around for an hour, that was the first time I've ever held hands with a girl since childhood, made me feel needed and loved. When it was over I was singing out loud in public for the first time in years. Sang "Friend Like Me" from Aladdin.


what is your greatest fear?

World Peace. See I'm a man who can't survive unless I'm needed. And my greatest need is to help others. If all is well, there's no one for me to help. A few months ago I went through a bout of depression because everyone in my life was doing great. My comforting wasn't needed. Then some girl called me crying cause she'd broken up with her boyfriend, and all was returned to normal. The concept of holding hands across the world, singing kumbaya by the campfire and there being no more wars scares me more than anything else in this universe. If the world ever got that way I would climb the nearest skyscraper and leap to my doom.


what is your earliest childhood memory?

My first memory is seeing my soul enter this body. I was floating in the air watching a child retrieve his porta potty from the bathroom. He took it to the living room and sat on it to watch the Muppets. When Kermit got run over, there was a flash of light, and next thing I know I am admiring my arms and legs in this new body.


what living person do you most admire and why?

Suzanna Gratia Hupp, the survivor who served as my baptism of fire. On October 16, 1991 in Killeen, Texas, a pickup truck crashed into Luby’s Cafeteria. A psychopath exited that truck, and very methodically began the harshest form of cold blooded murder. He wasn’t spraying bullets; he walked up to each individual, put the gun to their forehead, and fired once. This was an era of darkness before right to carry existed. When I learned of this event, I had already come to accept my own death, due to a heart condition which has since been cured. Suzanna Hupp made me realize my first true fear, your loved ones being slaughtered in front of you, while the power to do anything has been stolen. She had a gun in her car that day, but chose to obey a bad law, and paid the price of both her parents being executed in front of her. Her story pains me everyday. She makes me ashamed to walk around unarmed.


What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?

My willingness to compromise, which endangers my life on a daily basis.


What is the trait you most deplore in others?

Naivety/Stupidity.


What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought (not including a property)?

My $5000 Tempurpedic Queen Mattress.


What is your most treasured possession?

A straight razor I bought during my college studies in London which cost me 98 British Pounds.


Where would you like to live?

Arizona. Home of my future wife, a Sheriff I admire, and my mothers’ best friend.


What would your super power be?

Teleportation


What makes you depressed?

When no one needs me for an extended period of time.


Who would play you in the movie of your life?

Hell if I know.


What is your favorite book?

The Dark Knight


What is your favorite smell?

Tacos


What do you most dislike about your appearance?

My Robin Williams level of hairyness which I have to shave on a regular basis.


What is your guiltiest pleasure?

I don’t feel guilt.


What do you owe your parents?

I owe my parents for screwing everything up and allowing me to learn vicariously what type of person to not become.


What does love feel like?

Love is when just thinking of someone is enough to warm your heart and comfort you through any situation.


Who would you invite to your dream dinner party?

A lot of famous warriors.


Which words or phrases do you most overuse?

“Listen to your heart”
“Freedom above all else”
“Go fuck yourself, and I mean that in the good way”
*chanting to self while listening to morons* “I…will…not…hold…their ignorance against them.”


If you could edit your past, what would you change?

I wouldn’t change a thing. The butterfly effect scared the shit out of me and I don’t want to tamper with anything.


When did you last cry, and why?

Tears of sadness…it’s been so long since I’ve been capable of that I honestly can’t remember. I didn’t cry when my grandmother died, I didn’t cry when my dog died. But a long time ago, when I still could cry, I cried for Piccolo’s death in Dragonball GT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuTVhb8t0Pw


How do you relax?

Surround myself with women and children, read, watch cartoons & anime from my childhood, fight, teach, go shooting, visualize my future life.


How often do you have sex?

I’m a virgin.


What’s the closest you've come to death?

This could take a while. I’ve had 38 near death experiences. I’ll give 1 sentence explanations of a few of the more interesting ones: Mother fell down a flight of stairs while pregnant with me. Born prematurely and on life support in incubator. Kidnapped. Rained bullets on. Fell off a cliff. Assorted car accidents. Breaking up with first girlfriend. Heart attack. Jumped out of a moving car. Mexican standoff with my best friends husband. November 5th, 2008 - waking up to the election results. Car accident which landed me in a ditch. Inauguration Day/My 21st birthday. Yeah, somebody up there must like me.


What do you consider your greatest achievement?

Organizing a successful boycott with just myself and one partner.


What keeps you awake at night?

Not having a single anchor in the present for my future. Mind racing with a thousand thoughts at once. Uncertainly as to how long I can sustain the roof over my head. Not having a single reliable soul in my life. Living in the murder capital of the United States.


What song would you like played at your funeral?

Sonata Arctica - Broken


Where would you like to be right now?

Somewhere surrounded by women.

when were you happiest?
Probably right now with Chantelle and with my awesome job. I don't think anything could get any better.

what is your greatest fear?
Death is my greatest fear, but I am also afraid of heights.

what is your earliest childhood memory?
I am not really sure... maybe when I was really young (not sure what age) and my grandpa gave me a sip of beer. It's the only time I have ever drank alcohol.

what living person do you most admire and why?
Uh... Chantelle. No one else even comes close. Neil Gaiman is a second, though... and then Alan Moore. Great writers. Chantelle still kicks their asses, though.

What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
I am always criticizing other people. I am working on it though. So far, it's been pretty good.

What is the trait you most deplore in others?
A lot of stuff I could say about this. Seriously, I could list a ton. I will say that I hate people that go out and drink and then complain that they have no money.

What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought (not including a property)?
Our wedding rings. $800 a piece. I am pretty sure that is the most expensive.

What is your most treasured possession?
I would say Chantelle, but I think you mean non-human so I will have to say my Sandman bookends. They are awesome! Only 1000 ever made!

Where would you like to live?
Here, in Moose Jaw. I like it here. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

what would your super power be?
Uhhh... I have no idea.

what makes you depressed?
When I get in trouble for things at work (rarely ever happens anyway). When Chantelle is depressed about something, etc.

who would play you in the movie of your life?
I would like Shia LeBeouf to do that. I like him as an actor.

what is your favourite book?
Sandman (it's a graphic novel, but still...).

what is your favourite smell?
Anything that doesn't smell like ass.

what do you most dislike about your appearance?
My gut. It's gotten pretty big.

what is your guiltiest pleasure?
Chocolate or candy.

what do you owe your parents?
Nothing.

what does love feel like?
It is the greatest thing in the whole world. There is no exception. To explain how it feels is difficult. At least for me.

who would you invite to your dream dinner party?
Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Micheal Turner (R.I.P.), Joss Whedon, and the list goes on.

which words or phrases do you most overuse?
Like. Or something. Fuck.

if you could edit your past, what would you change?
Absolutely nothing, because it might screw up my chances of meeting Chantelle and therefore ruining my life.

when did you last cry, and why?
I don't remember the last time or even why.

how do you relax?
Play some video games.

how often do you have sex?
Before it wasn't so often. I would say maybe 2 or three times a week.

what's the closest you've come to death?
Probably when the grill started on fire at work. Could have hit the gas pipe behind it and killed everyone in the building.

what do you consider your greatest achievement?
Becoming an Assistant Manager at work.

what keeps you awake at night?
Too many thoughts at once or Chantelle doing naughty things to me. :ymdevil:

what song would you like played at your funeral?
Something by Dream Theater. Not really sure what, though.

where would you like to be right now?
Between Chantelle and another big-breasted woman. Or maybe just between Chantelle. NAILED IT!!!

meh, here's a better way to introduce myself.... after this I feel I've filled my quota for talking about myself. I hate talking about myself.
