1. For sure. Especially Les Mis
2. Amazon, there'd be plenty of books to read
3. Diving. Down where its wetter, that's where its better, take it from me. Never done any of the 3 yet, though.

1. Do you ever wear white socks?
2. Do you ever wear black socks?

1. yes...when I exercise...little wee white gym socks with blue toes.
2. yes...I have a pair of black ones with monkeys on them and black ones with cats on them, but they're always mismatched.
3.Well... I only wear skirts and dresses since I dislike trousers...but I don't like "pantyhose" per se. I wear straight black tights when it is cool...but since moving to South Africa, I find that going bare legged is much more comfy.


1. Do you enjoy vegemite/marmite or other similar dark yeasty spreads?
2. Why oh WHY don't we have root beer in South Africa??
3. Do American accents sound daft?

1. No. I prefer my bread plain, if I ever choose to eat bread at all.
2. Because the Ghost Pirate LeChuck forbade it.
3. Yeah, what's with saying "ruff" instead of "roof", anyway?

1. Do you thrive in a competitive environment?

1. No.
2. Definitely a pro at this point.
3. Certainly. The name of my first Thesis solo demo album was in fact 'Rough Work in the Margins'.

1. That may be be, although there's no excuse for webbed feet. Unless you're a duck. And I never understood toes. Is there a reason why they're separated or why we even have them in the first place? Why can't our toes just be a bunch of bones and muscles covered in skin together like the rest of our foot? Like one big horizontal toe without the nail.
2. No, because then shoes would become funny instead.
3. Not as much as I like that bear-skin rug in front of your fireplace.

1. Depends on how mad I get. If someone hurt my family or me…. Then yes, I would enjoy breaking every bone I could put my fist through.
2. I’m not sure.
3. Refer to question #1
_______
1. Do you enjoy wild animals
2. Favorite TV show
3. Favorite animal and why

1. From afar, yes.
2. I don't watch much TV these days, but occasionally, I like to watch whatever's on the Food Network. Not to help me learn to cook, per se, but because I find watching people cook to be fascinating in and of itself. I have no idea why.
3. Elephants, because I watched too much Sharon, Lois & Bram as a kid.

1. Yes. No good stories, I'm afraid.
2. Yes. That probably was a good story, but I've forgotten it for the time being.
3. I agree that words leave scars that take longer to heal, if you're the sensitive, conscientious type.

1. It wasn't me.
2. I don't know. I'm working on entering all of the professions that interest me most already. I just wish I were already making a living doing one of them.
3. Samorost is a game. The Adevnture Gamers forums are all about games. The Chit Chat forum is the one place on AG Forums where you're supposed to talk about things other than games.

1. That kind of sounds like when I tried to play Gears of War and Sonic the Hedgehog on my cousin's boyfriend's XBox 360 over the Christmas break.
2. Nah. I just take pride in the fact that I'm unusual, as I always do.
3. Nah. I just consider myself to be fundamentally flawed, as I also always do.

Oh well. At least Wii Sports has intuitive controls. *reaches over and hugs Wii*

1. Suppose a friend of yours whose opinions you generally respect vehemently hates a work of art that you love. Does your respect for your friend diminish, or does your love for the work of art in question diminish?
2. Suppose there are only two people left on Earth, and you're one of them. Assuming that you're capable of reproducing, would you rather the other be a fertile person of the opposite sex who really really gets on your nerves, or an infertile person of any sex with whom you click absolutely perfectly?
3. Do you have a good memory?

3. Do you have a good memory?
1. No, I usually don't care that much about other people's opinions.

2. I'd prefer the latter, since raising kids with someone whom you cannot stand is bound to fail.

3. You should ask other people that. About memory, i one asked my father what his very first memory was. His answer was: "I don't remember."

+------+-------+------+-------+

New questions:

1. Are you good at seeing colours?

2. What music player do you use?

3. Are you looking forward to Christmas?

1. I like to think so, but not exceptionally so. Others will have to be the judge of that, though. (Follow the link in my sig, and then you tell me how good I am with colours.)

2. iTunes. Hey, I'm on a Mac, so there's no reason to be surprised! On Windows I've used Quintessential Player.

3. Not yet. I've not even started to long for spring yet.

1. Am I good at seeing colours?
2. What's your opinion on Macintosh computers?
3. Do you like cold weather with 15+ cm snow? (That's what we have here at the moment.)

I can't tell from the link in your sig, sorry

2. What's your opinion on Macintosh computers?

I love them, but they have their flaws. They are hard or impossible to upgrade, the videocards are almost never better than mediocre, and for some weird reason Apple tries to sell the Mac as a fun machine but they don't seem to work very hard to get game developers to make games for them. BUT, OS X is so much more beautiful than whichever version of Windows!

3. Do you like cold weather with 15+ cm snow? (That's what we have here at the moment.)


That would be nice, yes. We have had three days with temperatures below zero C and now it's back to the far too warm weather we had before that.

1. Do you like 80's British music?

2. If you could get a decent job on a tropical island, would you move there?

3. Do you have a subscription to a newspaper? If yes, which one (describe) and if no, where do you get your news?

Here's a little tidbit our government boys missed.
1. Oh geeeze...I had a big thing for Billy Idol when I was a wee'un and also Pet Shop Boys and *cough* The Smiths...so I guess I have to admit to liking some of it.

2. Hell no. I already miss the four seasons where I am now- especially those windy, leafy, Halloweeny, autumns in New England. With 113 F degree weather down here at the moment, I'm ready to move to Scandinavia or some place like that. Svalbard is looking better and better everyday.

3 Not anymore...I've had subscriptions to various papers in the past but now I mostly get news from the internet (BBC, CNN, NPR, PRI etc) and to a limited extent, the SABC, though journalistic standards are just not up to par.


1. Do the various colors of M&Ms taste any different to you?

2. Which is better: Hostess or Little Debbie?

3. Do wine connoisseurs really know what they're talking about or is it all just a bunch of pretentious windbaggery?

Hehe that's funny, I was listening to The Smiths when I wrote that question.

1. I hate M&Ms. They all taste like vomit to me.

2. Neither. They're all junk. Try Vachon!

3. I think they do. Wine tasters tend to be super smellers or tasters and also have very refined palettes.


Questions:

1. What do you usually have for dinner? Do you cook or does someone else?
2. What's your dream job? Explain why.
3. Do you like small enclosed spaces or large vast spaces?

That's 5 questions...

1. Pasta, rice or potatoes with some meat and veg. My wife usually cooks.
2. Adventure game designer. Because I love doing it and if someone would pay me... woohoo!
3. Yes, both, depending on my mood

------------

1. Will Telltale start up an Edinburgh branch and recruit me to be a game designer?
2. Will I win the lottery and start my own adventure game company?
3. Would you like to join the SSH adventure company?

1. My ability to write captivating narrative fiction, and witty observational comments on internet forums.
2. Brash, self-assured, self-obsessed personalities. They grate on my nerves.
3. Stars. I love the moon and all, but the vast starry night sky holds me in awe, where the moon merely makes me wistful.

1. Sure. Fluffy snowfall is nice to walk in. (And anything but yes, would make the rest of the questions completely pointless.)
2. Sing, of course! Or make a snowman if you feel like doing a bit more work.
3. If you really need a shower, that would be a good idea.

1. What would you like on your pizza?
2. Would you mind it being rectangular? (I tend to bake them as large as two pizzas can fit in the oven at the same time.)
3. What would you like to drink with it? (Hint: The correct answer - the perfect drink for a pizza - is something limited to a season, or two.)

(Sidenote: Wow, there was exactly three hours between our posts. I didn't notice that until after I'd posted.)
