1. I've mostly found old acquaintances. Not bad, but not the same. I have managed to get back in touch with a few people I really care about though, so that's nice.
2. Deirdra.
3. You know, I haven't actually won any awards of note. Maybe taht's why my life is so empty.

3. What are your thoughts on bloody revolutions?

1. I sit down at my computer and start working on one of my numerous unfinished creative projects.
2. I used to make major life changes all of the time. Then I got married, and since then, I've been sort of stuck in a jar labelled 2005.

3. What is the most 'severe' revolution that happened in your country and you experienced?

1. 5 or 6. I've lost count. Our PMs tend to last a loooooong time.
2. Sorry, I don't have time to check that link, and have no idea who Geert is.
3. The Oka conflict, I think.

1. Jellyfish, or XTC.
2. I'd work isolated for several years at exactly the wage I'm making now, or even less, if people would just leave me alone to write.
3. Meerkat.

1. I wake up thinking I'm perfectly sane, and then I remember who I've been for the last 39 years.
2. A few times, I may have been wrong those times, though.
3. No, but I'm signed up for it.

1. Improve the writing, characterisation, and art direction, and strip away all the extraneous... ah, forget it. Making my own games is more fun.
2. Well, you know, I always thought they were just really, really happy to see me, but now that you mention it...
3. I have, as you know. It's probably the closest I'll ever get to being you for a day.

1. Drink heavily! Not really of course, I play games, watch films, listen to music etc. where I don't matter anymore.

2. Just over 3 weeks. Doesn't sound very long but it felt interminable at the time.

3. I would certainly consider it if time allowed.

[Maquisard]

1. I was 18 and had just started driving. I got a job at a pizza joint (actually making the things, I guess), but was supposed to have my own car to pick up some delivery slack, when needed. I didn't feel comfortable driving so much, at the time.. I think I turned it down by not showing up, basically.

2. My best friend who's got a good fashion sense that I wouldn't mind lifting completely if it didn't make me feel poserish.

3. Hammy. I would bet a 100 bucks that he's not as hideous as he says!

3. Did you enjoy lunch?

1. Considering I dont have any major convictions, it's hard dont really know what to say, pastafari?
2. This one is going to be fun, I moved to a new country two years ago so my social network here is still abit limited to work and co workers, me and my girlfriend are living together with her son so fridays are often spent home with a movie, some games or the like, but this friday I am going out with my best friend in Sweden, so it will be beer on our usual spanish place (mahou beer), followed by deeper conversations about work, personal life and well anything really.
3. I hope I will, went to this "hall" they have in Stockholm, with foods from around the world, and bought some finnish foods (I love finnish food), so I got some karjalan piirakka (rice pirogs I think they are called in english, google it), some chocklate filled eggs called Fazer mignon, real eggshells and all) and some chicken with potatos, or well mashed potato grated in the oven with bread crumbs on top..


1. What was your dream when you where a kid?

3.Two horses walks in to a bar, how would you react?

1. To be like Boy George. But I was too shy to dress like him.

2. Leonardo da Vinci. He was a scientist in a time when scientists were, let's say, frowned upon by the Church. I want to know how that felt like.

3. I would think: "Hey, there are two horses in the bar."

1. I havent paid to much attention to the Greek problems, I'we seen that they are in deep shit or something, and from what I see I think they might need some help..

2. I love that Obama is socializing USA abit, I find it strange how afraid they are of it, the whole american dream and way is to much of a pretty picture far from reality for me to feel any sympathy for those who like it private and "on your own"

3. I like the Dutch people, got some good friends there, the ones I know and have met have been laidback and nice, some maybe abit to laidback and liberal, but nice people non the less, also you make awsome beer! mmmm beer


1. What is your ideal political idea (name and explain one of the ones in use or make up your own)?

2.France and French people, whats your feeling on them? (considering sayings like "france would be ok if it werent for the french and peoples view of the arogance etc etc, do you agree or do you like them)

3. This one might be to "flamey" so feel free to just skip it, Religion:
Considering religions impact trough history, do you feel that it's a good thing or not and why? (reasons, I'm not religious myself and if I look at some of the things that religion has caused, it sometimes makes me wonder how we can accept it, but I dont have anything against religious people)

1. Difficult to say. I think that Democracy is the worst form of government except for all others and I have some socialist leanings. Realistically anything that is honest and truly cares for the people to be goverened (i.e. nothing that actually exists!).

2. As an Englishmen I suppose I should naturally hate the French although many of the French people I have met have been lovely! Still always keen to beat them at sport though!

3. Depends what you mean. If you mean Religion as organised groups of people doing what they consider to be "god's will" to other people then it is often (but not always) a bad thing. If you mean Religion in terms of Man's personal relationship with God then I think it's mostly a good thing.

I was aiming for general terms, seeing how "free interpretation" of reliigious texts has made alot of whackos go kill other people, crusades and holy war.
Personal belives is something I dont judge anyway, as long as they are well personal

1. I must admit, it was fun seeing Canada beat the US at hockey last month. That said, I generally don't care about sports all that much.
2. Your mom. Various elementary school bullies -- sure, they don't do a lot of damage in the grand scheme of things, but stuff you internalise at that age really sticks, you know?
3. How's this:

my apartment smells
funny and I don't know why;
isn't that lovely?

1. Every two weeks I run the washing machine twice. With dirty laundry in it.

2. What are Facebook games?

3. Yes, although I must admit that I am sometimes late these days. But never more than 10 minutes.

You're almost the only person on this forum whom I believe when you answer that way.

Well, we could take turns walking around in each other's clothes. We kind of dress the same already.

1. I write. When I just want to decompress, I have a Guinness, play Sims 3 and masturbate.
2. I usually don't stress about hearing back about jobs I've interviewed for. I'm weird like that.
3. I'm kind of avoiding reading it until I have enough spare time to really do the revisions properly. That said, I've shared the novel with a couple of friends in the last couple of months, neither of whom have said anything about it. I suspect that's going to be the general reaction.

3. Which forum member would you most like to meet in real life? (This question is intended in the least creepy way possible, so please reply in a similar spirit!)

1. Yes, I've turned down a few jobs in the past, and left a few others after a short time, but none of them were really in my field, so I don't really remember too much about them. Manual labour and retail, mostly.
2. Deirdra.
3. Well, I've already met Deirdra once in real life, but I wouldn't mind spending more time with her (And no, not just because I've clearly got the hots for her. I am married, after all. I just think she's seriously cool. If you knew her like I do, you'd agree).

But if we're going with 'new' forumites to meet, I'd like to meet Jelena, Stepurhan, tsa, Paul (rlpw), and Trep the most. After that, I'd like to get togetehr with the whole lot of you, because I think you're all great people, even when I'm tweaking your noses for being a little too stubborn about definitions of good AGs.

3. Did you enjoy lunch?

1. Well, I've never been convicted of anything, so... Oh wait, you're probably talking about beliefs. Um, I figure that, if people developed a religion based on the kooky theories I've developed over the years, it would probably look like a geek convention that only gathered four times a year, to share manuscripts and comics, demo games, get drunk and deflower one another, and get kanji tattoos of inspirational or scandalous messages.

Actually, it would probably all go terribly wrong and turn into a Michael Valentine Smith cult. Which wouldn't be too bad, so long as it didn't turn into Scientology.
2. I get home from work, plug my iPod into my computer to recharge, scan the internet for messages from Deirdra, open a Guinness, decompress, and hopefully have enough energy left to start dinner before Dawn gets home.
3. Well, brunch today consisted of breakfast sausage on a bun. So yes.

1. To become a writer or cartoonist. Or an astronaut. Two out of three...
2. Does Deirdra count? If not, Alan Moore. And if you need that explained, you need to read some Alan Moore.
3. I'd go open the bathroom door for them.

1. I confess, I've stopped paying attention to world issues in the last few weeks, so I have no idea what's up with Greece. sorry.
2. I worry for Obama, but I truly hope the health program sticks, because America has needed it for a very long time.
3. Well, being a bit of an Anglophile, naturally, my feelings about the Dutch are mixed.

1. The People's Republic of Limbo, an egalitarian utopia with No-Pants Fridays enshrined in the constitution.
2. I wish I spoke French better. Also, I'd really like to meet Isabelle Adjani.
3. I think everyone needs to have some system of belief, whether it be spiritual or secular. I don't entirely object to forming social groups to share in faith-based rituals. However, I largely feel that organized religion is a folly, as I honestly believe people need to have more conviction in their own beliefs, since nobody really believes exactly the same thing as anyone else. I'm a big believer that we are all a church of one.

1. I agree with Deirdra; it was nice seeing Canada one-up the States in Olympic hockey. Vindication, even if I'm not really a sports fan.
2. I honestly haven't really spent any time around anyone whom I thought was so odious that I would classify them as 'horrible'. I used to have to put up with bullies in school, being short and geeky, but I'm pretty much over that. Most of those guys are pathetic now.
3. Is there ever a time
When we can honestly say
That everything we've done with our lives
Has made us into the sort of person
We always wanted to be?

Is there ever really a day
When we look back on our lives
And nod, smiling approvingly,
Knowing we've stayed on the path
Leading us to the life
We always wished we'd have?

If there's ever been such a day,
Ever been such a time,
Would it be too much to ask
That I could have that time
Right now?

1. Most days, I start at 11:00 AM.
2. My wife tends to do the vacuuming, unless she's having trouble with her knees, or is taking the cat for a walk.
3. The place where I work is slightly neater looking, because there is more space and everything is kept in piles and boxes on shelves and such. that said, I think our apartment is nicer.

[Squinky]

1. Which one was Steven Page, again? My knowledge of BNL is limited to catchy songs they played on the radio back when I was however young I was when I still listened to the radio.
2. As long as he's got a nimble enough tongue to make up for his lack of a body, she'll be fine, I'm sure.
3. Yes, but by the time Guybrush realises it, she'll be long gone.

Oh, and are you sure you'd be okay with letting me pick out your clothes for a week? I mean, I'd do my best to use my powers for good and all, but it's going to be really hard not to sneak in at least one pink pouffy dress.

I agree, no clue what people listen to anymore and who's the most likable oO

1. Then, considering that I'm in the age where then was pretty much wory-less and now I'm one of those hard working family men I cant say anything else then MAN I MISS WHEN MY MOM DID THE LAUNDRY, COOKED AND DROVE ME TO SOCCER PRACTICE ON TIME (Caps intended)

2. Sure, especially if happens as a gradual process.
3. The rest of my life.

1. The answer to this question is probably self-evident to those who aren't as weird as I am, particularly given that I haven't been in an actual Relationship with a capital R with anyone for the last half decade, but how on earth is it possible to know you want to date someone you've never so much as spoken to?
