**Frownland** · 12-22-2013, 04:01 PM

1. Has your life ever been in danger because of a natural disaster (hurricane, tornado, earthquake)?

No, my disasters were man made/induced.

2. What would you do if you won the lottery and didn't have to work for the rest of your life?

I would buy a house and a mass of instruments. Then I would proceed to smoke weed and play music all day everyday, for the most part.

3. What is your most prized possession?

My tenor sax. It's fun to play, looks badass, and was expensive.

4. What is your favourite comedy? Can be a film, book, TV show, etc.

Everything that Terry Gilliam is associated with (Monty Python, Brazil, Adventures of Baron Munchausen and This Is Spinal Tap are my two favourite film comedies. Have to agree with Arrested Development and Catch 22 as well. I think my overall favourite comedy (or what I think is the funniest) is Catch 22.

5. If you could eliminate the invention of one thing, what would it be and why?

I'd probably say nuclear bomb technology as well, but I think that if it didn't exist we would still have filled the niche somehow.

6. Do you think that people are naturally bad or naturally good?

I'd say that people are naturally selfish, and they learn to interpret selfishness as bad or good. It's not as black and white as good or bad, but I think that selfishness is the real natural human instinct as it's necessary for survival.

**Scarlett O'Hara** · 12-22-2013, 10:36 PM

1. Has your life ever been in danger because of a natural disaster (hurricane, tornado, earthquake)?

Earthquake in Christchurch x2 highest ones in September 2010 and February 2011, I lost my home, my job and I had to walk for hours to make it to the giant tent at a sport park (my hostal was damaged).

2. What would you do if you won the lottery and didn't have to work for the rest of your life?

I'd travel. Everywhere. I'd decide which is the best place to live and try get residency. I'd build mansions for myself and houses for others to live. I really want to help the misfortuned.

3. What is your most prized possession?

My mp3 player. It's annoying when I don't have a laptop but without an mp3 player to listen to each day would drive me crazy!

4. What is your favourite comedy? Can be a film, book, TV show, etc.

Mrs Browns Boys, Little Britain, Community, Friends, IT Crowd (I love it DJ!).

5. If you could eliminate the invention of one thing, what would it be and why?

Facebook. People only care about the best page to represent themselves which is not necessarily true.

6. Do you think that people are naturally bad or naturally good?

I believe it's environmental, so naturally good.

1. Has your life ever been in danger because of a natural disaster (hurricane, tornado, earthquake)?
Yep, sky was puke green ma****as.

2. What would you do if you won the lottery and didn't have to work for the rest of your life?

I'd just stay home all day, watch Scarface 50 times, eat a turkey sandwich, and have sex all ****ing day. Then I'd dress up like a clown, and surprise kids at schools. Then I'd take a dump in the back of a movie theater, and just wait until somebody sat in it. Hear it squish. That's funny to me. Then I'd paint, and read, and play violin. I'd climb the mountains, and sing the songs that I like to sing.

3. What is your most prized possession?
Cthulhu.

4. What is your favourite comedy? Can be a film, book, TV show, etc.
Life.

5. If you could eliminate the invention of one thing, what would it be and why?
The internet, because **** it.

6. Do you think that people are naturally bad or naturally good?
Nature or nurture?

GuD · 12-23-2013, 10:51 PM

1. Nope, not yet.

2. I like working but I'd definitely buy a house here in SF and then travel- rural Asia and Europe and maybe Africa. Try and get more into politics, too. Would donate to charity also.

3. I'm not really about possessions. I have a set of knives I'm fond of though and some sentimental things that belonged to my godmother but that's it.

4. Louis CK, at the moment.

5. The state, up the punx!

6. Circumstantial, everyone has the potential to be either and both are subjective. People change, too. Sometimes.

1. Who is your mortal enemy?

I guess they're all mortal.

2. What song or songs describe your love life?

Naked City - Sweat, Sperm + Blood

3. Favourite female rapper?

I don't listen to many, but Lauryn Hill's good.

4. What TV show character are you most like?

Bender, or possibly Tom Brokaw.

5. What drug would you most likely get addicted to?

Opiates, most likely. I've a bit of a history with them which is why I avoid them these days.

I'm slightly terrified.

LoathsomePete · 05-17-2014, 12:28 PM

1. Who is your mortal enemy?

Unlike Frownland, I'm not afraid to make enemies of those not afflicted by such petty trite as mortality. At the moment I've been besieged by spiders so it's a safe bet that Anansi wants his money back.

Word of advice, don't enter into loan agreements with spider-gods.

2. What song or songs describe your love life?

3. Favourite female rapper?

Toss up between Jean Grae and Dessa. Both have great flow and a creative mind, however I think I prefer Dessa by a little bit, although Jean Grae is hilarious to follow on Twitter.

4. What TV show character are you most like?

McNulty from The Wire, mostly because people seem to be constantly irked by me and I don't know what the fuck I did.

5. What drug would you most likely get addicted to?

Marijuana

6. What fictional world would you choose to live in?

Discworld. It faces constant peril from enemies at every turn, but at least most people seem to be aware enough that they're in a fantasy universe and as such are much more accepting. When things inevitably go tits up it'll be nice to be around people who keep a level head.
