1. Sorta. There are pictures of me on the internet; you decide.
2. Being a girl, I automatically break the stereotype. I'm quiet, nerdy, and had really poor eyesight until the LASIK surgery, though.
3. I did try it this weekend, actually, thanks to my cousin's boyfriend. And I sucked. The graphics were pretty, though.

1. Do you prefer swimming in beaches or swimming pools?
2. Do you like the sound of your own voice?
3. Modernism or postmodernism?

1. Neither. I hate swimming altogether, but if I had to choose, I'd probably say the beach.
2. Not particularly.
3. Definitely modernism. Po-mo is overrated.

1. Shaved or unshaved (make whatever you want of this)?
3. What happened to Question #2?

1. I can't even remember the last time I actually swam, but I'll say swimming pools.
2. Not at all, but I love trying to sing with it.
3. Going back to modernism would be a decidedly postmodern thing to do, so we're pretty much stuck for the moment. I liken postmodernism to a dog perpetually chasing its tail. It's intrinsically doomed, and, in most guises, highly irritating. Of course, it does, like anything, have its occasional virtues. But whether I like it or not, I seem to be forever its poster boy in most everything I do, and the more I try to escape from it, the more I embody it — such is its cruel irony. In other words, I have no answer to this question.

1. Currently the former. Despite my having one for a year or so, beardlessness seems preferable in the general sense.
3. I don't know, why don't you ask it?

--- (Forgive the dullness) ---

1. Which artistic medium do you least enjoy (and why)?
2. What do you yearn for?
3. Has a work of fiction ever actively changed your life, or approach to life?

[Maquisard]

1. Sculpture. Unless they let you touch it, there really isn't that much to the experience, is there?
2. A long vacation.
3. Sure. For example, I mostly don't go out on Friday nights so that I could catch the first run of all my favorite Sci-fi shows.

1. Are Ebonics a dialect of English?
2. How 'bout Pig-Latin?
3. Firefox or Explorer?

[Squinky]

1. Yes, but I still hate it.
2. Not really. But it's not a dialect of Latin, either.
3. Opera, you twit.

1. Do you talk during movies?
2. Do you get annoyed when people talk during movies?
3. Do you like fan games, or would you prefer if people directed their talents toward something original?

[Melanie68]

1. No
2. Yes, it's distracting.
3. Something original (one look at the indie games coming out tells you original wins hands down.)

*********************
1. What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon? (has this been asked?)
2. What kind of dried fruit do you like to eat (if any)? <--- as I munch on dried cranberries.
3. Do you know what a tagine is?

[undeaf]

1. Animaniacs was great, even though I didn't get all the references.
2. Just raisins, I think.
3. Nope.

1. I'm ashamed to say I used to follow Pokemon. But Batman Beyond was definitely my favorite.
2. Dried figs.
3. Nope. Do tell!
__________

1. Have you ever tried durian?
2. What's the fastest you've ever driven a car (or bycicle, in case you ain't a driver)?
3. Any people you know who you think should go to hell?

[Melanie68]

Tagine (you can also spell it with a 'j')

It's extremely yummy.

[Maquisard]

Oooh, I know a Moroccan dude. I'll ask him to make it!

1. Nope.
2. Jetski at maybe 55km/h.
3. Lots. I might even know a few people qualified to administer it.

Define stoned, does tylenol 3 count? When I had to take some, I was too chicken to even try taking more than 2 pills at once like it said was the maximum to take.

You sure ask some predictable questions about crime.

1. How many brothers/sisters do you have, and how much older/younger are they than you?
2. Are your parents still together?
3. When did you get your first computer?

[Maquisard]

1. 2 older brothers (+2 & +5).
2. Yeah.
3. I must've been 8.
________

1. What music do you listen to when you're angry?
2. How about when you're tired?
3. Bacon 'n' Eggs?

[Squinky]

1. "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette is always a fun one.
2. Either some instrumental jazz or nothing at all. Usually the latter option.
3. Yes! Even though it's 12:30 AM.

***

1. What colour are your eyes?
2. Do you generally prefer working alone or with others?
3. What do you think about blogs?

[omloflump]

1. Baby blue.
2. With others (though it all depends on what sort of work).
3. The word itself induces a mild wince, and certainly there's a lot of rubbish out there, but I think it's a nice enough format for inane day-to-day expression. In fact, I have one of the wretched things myself. I don't, however, regularly read anyone else's blog (excluding those people I know personally, only one of whom regularly updates), nor do I seek them — little wonder, then, that nobody else reads mine. But it's nice to have a few paragraphs to play around with when you're in the mood — especially if you don't just use them to record the events of the day.

--- (The thief continues) ---

1. Do you have a blog? (Why/why not?)
2. Do you regularly read any blogs?
3. What's the first webpage you head to when you open your browser of choice?

[SSH]

1. No, because I haven't the time to make one interesting (assuming I could even do that if I tried )
2. Yes, davelgil.com and fullyramblomatic.com (spot the theme!)
3. Well, I have a set of tabs that open automatically when I start Firefox: they go to theinquirer.net, theregister.co.uk, news.bbc.co.uk, www.bigbluecup.com/yabb/index.php, forums.adventuregamers.com, questionablecontent.net, dilbert.com and edinburghnews.scotsman.com/edinburgh.cfm

1. What is the best amateur adventure you have ever played that features unicorns, magic hats, a loom, an ant and a swan? (Hint, see my sig)
2. Don't you hate it when people subvert a trhead to do some blatant self-promotion
3. What's YOUR best thing online that you have made?

Firstly, I've only been stoned once, never driven drunk and stole a pack of gum from a corner store when I was twelve, to answer my own questions. Secondly, they may be predictable but no more or less so than anyone else's. I'd consider the crime thing to be more of a running theme in my questions (and an unintentional at that), sort of like how food, travel and things people would change about themselves seem to pop up again and again in other people's questions.

1. Oh lord, I don't think I've played any amateur games featuring unicorns, magic hats, a loom an ant and a swam. Should I?
2. Yes, sort of like what I'm about to do right now:
3. This is a short film I made at school 5 years ago. Other than the photos on my blog, it's the only thing that I made that's online. I'm still reasonably happy with it at this point, although I've done better stuff since (also, I replaced the stolen score with an original one, but that was years after this first went up online at ifilm.com - which someone recently found and posted on youtube somehow)

1. Did you ever want to be an astronaut?
2. Have you ever killed a man after running a red light in a stolen car while snorting coke off a naked 12-year-old girl's back? Oh shit, there I go again.
3. Who on these forums would you most like to answer the questions you're about to post?

[Squinky]

1. Not actively. I thought (and still think) it would be cool and all, but for some reason I decided I'd rather make games instead.
2. The girl had just turned thirteen, actually.
3. Anyone who gives interesting answers, really. I'm not picky.

1. What is art?
2. What is good art?
3. Is it up to the artist to should judge what's best for his/her art, or is it up to the audience?

1. I wonder if it's possible to give a straight answer to that one. "Something created with the intention of being art", is a somewhat reasonable answer. It includes a lot of weird things I don't know if I'd really agree it is art, though.
2. Art that gives something to the audience. Preferably that something is a reaction like "that's disgusting". If that's what I get, I won't consider it good art. But what I get from it doesn't have to be beauty. (Unless you define beauty in a wider than usual way.)
3. Another hard question. Generally, I think my answer is the artist, but it's a wide (and vague) question so there can certainly be situations where I'd think the opposite.

Instead of posting three new questions, I'm cheating and ask the next poster to answer his or her own last three questions.

(Edit: That would mean that if Hammerite replies to this, he should answer the following:

But since I broke the rules anyway, I guess I can't complain. I won't do it again.)
