1. Never
2. Something different. I find weddings to be incredibly phony an boring, rarely reflecting on the personalities of those being wed. I'd like mine to be a small and low key. Other than that though, it's hard to say.
3. Registry office.

1. Well, considering that about fifty years ago, everyone expected us to have colonies on the moon and stuff by now, we've got a LOT of catching up to do...
2. No. But I do believe in John Titor.
3. I, for one, am glad that mankind finally mastered automatically-flushing toilets. Now THAT is the way of the future!

As I'm stumped by most of the above questions, am too lazy to run searches on sashimi and My Dinner with Andre, but don't wanna rob Squinky of legitimate answers, I'll just answer my own questions, and the next person can do Squinky's.

Damn Squinky and her tough questions!

I want to answer just this one (and I'm breaking the rules I know):

Quote:
3. What's the most unusual Christmas ornament you've ever seen?
When I was a freshman in vet school, they decorated the anatomy lab for Christmas. They decorated a tree and used a small intestine as a garland and dyed pieces of kidney and liver red and green and used them as ornaments.

*waits for the next person to come along to answer the previous questions*

Oooh, that helped me remember mine!

Quote:

I was at this music festival, and they had a weird art exhibit with a sculpture of gutted-open reindeer with blood coming out of its gut, and leading to different organs and a huge pile of bloody mess. It was all made out of wool, by the way. The red wool (like in Christmas stockings) and the reindeer reminded me of Christmas, even though this was in September.

1. The one in the classic movie from my childhood, Little Giants. But only because Devon Sawa was on it.
2. These days, I get up, check my e-mail, go to the bathroom, get dressed, ride my bike to work, pour myself coffee and help myself to whatever (if any) snacks are in the office, tighten the graphics in the latest episodic adventure games, go out to lunch with my favourite Telltale folks, work some more, ride my bike home, fix dinner, go outside for a walk along Fourth Street, come back home, have a shower, make my rounds on the internet whilst working on pet projects and/or IMing with people, play some sudoku puzzles on my DS in bed, and sleep. Whew.
3. One of my favourites, actually.

***

1. What is your vocal range?
2. If you were me, would you be looking forward to going back to university in January?
3. Were these questions as hard to answer as the previous set?

  1. If I may indulge in some bragging, pretty darn wide. I'm pretty much a bass, but with a little effort I can sing almost as high as a soprano.
  2. If I were you, I'd be on the other end of this question. But since I'm not you, I can say that a university sounds dreadful.
  3. Nope.

1. Being a part of a story as it unravels
2. I wouldn't really know, I haven't played anything newer than MI4. To be honest, I can't really afford a computer that will actually run any new games at the moment, so I stick to the old ones.
3. All a games needs to be good is to tell an interesting story (well, that's not all, but I feel it's the most important aspect of it). In that sense, they probably can't get any better than the best games out there already. Instead it's the players who have to change and choose story over mindless mayhem.

1. Sometimes. When I first meet someone male or female I’m kind’a nervous. I’m one of those who try and make everyone happy and make myself crazy in the process.
2. I think WWI
3. I don’t know. I dislike my father a lot but not enough to kill him. I think that is the only person I carry a grudge against.

1. I have a bunch of crushes...or just attractions, I'm not sure.
2. Sure. I wouldn't have a future in my line of work if I couldn't.
3. Absolutely.

1. Crushes are when you keep thinking about a person more than you think about most people. Attractions are when you find common ground with someone and it resonates deeply within you. The former normally results from the latter, but doesn't have to. Either way, having one or the other, in my case, doesn't necessarily mean I'd actively want to pursue a romantic relationship with the person in question.
2. Is anything real?
3. "Dude, are you sure Romeo's going to be okay with this?"

1. Would you still enjoy your favourite adventure game if it were stripped of its puzzles?
2. Would you rather be Cyrano or Christian?
3. Can you resist my gravitational pull?

1. Nope. A lot of the appeal of games like Monkey Island and DotT lies in their wacky puzzles.
2. Cyrano, after a nose-job.
3. Of course not. We're all connected!

1. Vomit, telephones, debates, politics, arrogance, txt-style spelling, rap music, and probably a lot of other things I've safely blocked out of my mind for the moment.
2. I tend to prefer covalent bonds to ionic bonds. And of course, van der Waals' forces always hold a special place in my heart.
3. English, French, Farsi. And if you ask nicely, I'll try to speak in x86 assembler.

***

1. Do you have more internet friends or real life friends?
2. Are you generally closer with your internet friends or your real life friends?
3. How many internet friends have you met in real life?

1. Well, all MySpace friends that I have are people I actually met in real life prior to them being my internet friends...but I have a narrower definition of friend than the MySpace standard...I'd call friends people I can have extremely frank discussions with in person. This is sometimes easier to do on the internet because of the anonymity, so my internet standard for what I consider frienships is even narrower, i.e. people I'm willing to tell things I wouldn't even tell my closest real life friends. Now that I have those definitions worked out, I'd say I have more real life friends.
2. I'm closer with my real life friends.
3. None.

1. I can't name a particular work of cinematography off the top of my head, but the current Survivor is doing a good job at it.
2. X-Men.
3. I can appreciate them for what they are, but I'm not really fond of them.
