The Saturday 6-Pack

Bill Gates gives you a certified cheque for one thousand dollars, which must be entirely spent within the next twenty-four hours. How do you use it?

I don't know, I tend to put away any significant amount of money I get. I'd cash it, and probably would spend time updating my wardrobe and indulging in take out food. Anything left I'd give to a charity or a random homeless person, something like that. It is coming from Bill Gates after all.

What's your favourite part of Thanksgiving dinner?

Food related: Stuffing.
Family related: Everyone getting sauced together and realizing we actually do love one another and enjoy the company, but only once or twice a year.

What's your favorite movie franchise?

Can't really say I have a favorite, but I'll go with Harry Potter.

What do you feel has been the best year for music from 1915-2014?

Why that time range? Who is going to settle on pre or early 1920's as their favorite period of music?

Do you consider yourself patriotic?

I'm not entirely unpatriotic but, no, not really.

Do you have a distinct dressing style? If so, what is it?

Hipster-chic? I would say whatever is clean, but it wouldn't be true.

Boring mandatory life stuff notwithstanding, an organ would be nice.

Stuffing.

Don't watch too many movies. I usually enjoy Marvel ones, though.

2006?

Do you consider yourself patriotic?
No.

Do you have a distinct dressing style? If so, what is it?
Slacks or cords, longsleeves/sweater, long jacket. Lots of blue, lots of green.

If you had to be an educator, what would you teach and to what level?

I'd totally teach a college level film appreciation class. I'd be good at it and I can share my nerd knowledge with the world.

Coffee shop or record store. The latter is a unicorn though.

I'd be DB Cooper. I don't know why.

Courts system would be the number one thing I'd go after. That and gun control. Those two thins are completely batsh*t insane right now.

**Frownland** · 12-05-2014, 08:04 PM

Music history ormusic philosophy at the college level because they're very interesting and don't require too much knowledge in music theory, which I honestly know little of.

Luthery. Hmm I'm sensing a theme.

If you had to be an educator, what would you teach and to what level?

I actually had aspirations of being a teacher. I wanted to be a highschool English teacher, but now that I've gotten a bit older I expect a younger crowd would be more eager to learn (so maybe middle school) and less apt to backtalk.

If you had to run a business, what kind of business would you run?

I'd love to have an antiques store. I'd need to be better educated in the trade but there are few places I'm happier spending hours just looking at and holding things from years passed.

If you had to be an artist, what would be your medium?

Poetry. Or storytelling. Or maybe even photography. I'm highly creative, but I'm not at all artistic in a painting or drawing kind of way.

If you had to be a tradesman/woman, what would be your trade?

Proofreading, or something having to do with whatever I can use my mind for.

If you had to be a master criminal, what would be your area of expertise?

I'm not wise to any sort of government sector so I'm not sure how to answer this.

If you had to be a ruling politician, how would you lead?

I'd figure out a way to dismantle the 1%, eliminate hunger, provide health care to those in need, and see to it that people are not allowed to needlessly hoard money when their neighbors are struggling. (I'm looking at you, politicians!)

If you had to be an educator, what would you teach and to what level?

I intend to be an educator, actually. I am currently certified to teach preschool, am going to school for elementary level education (still playing with the idea of going into special education), and eventually want to be a college level professor of religion. I'm climbing the ladder in order to continue in academia, which is, beside being on stage, the place where I feel the most at home.

If you had to run a business, what kind of business would you run?

I am very opposed to the idea of running my own business, but if I had to choose I would say coffee shop.

If you had to be an artist, what would be your medium?

Musician, of course. But I also dabble in painting and really enjoy it. Then again, it's been a lifelong dream to be a novelist.

If you had to be a tradesman/woman, what would be your trade?

I've always enjoyed woodwork but I'd also be interested in welding.

If you had to be a master criminal, what would be your area of expertise?

Some kind of spy I guess. I wouldn't want to do any of the dirty work, but I would want to be conniving.

If you had to be a ruling politician, how would you lead?

Ricktatorship.

I could totally see you being an awesome pre-k/elementary school teacher or a college professor. You mentioned something about that before and it kinda inspired the question and ensuing theme heh.

If you had to be a ruling politician, how would you lead? It'd be cool if you gave reasons for your answers. Spoiler for answers: If you had to be an educator, what would you teach and to what level? I think it would cool to be a monk- a master of meditation and martial arts. Something about that perhaps Hollywoodish image of living in misty green mountains by a lake, living off the land appeals to me. Take in apprentices, etc. But I'd probably get bored and become an art teacher. If you had to run a business, what kind of business would you run? I'll forego the obvious and go with a punk venue/bar. If you had to be an artist, what would be your medium? A painter or a musician. I'm sort of both those things already but not nearly at a level where I'd be comfortable calling myself an artist. If you had to be a tradesman/woman, what would be your trade? I actually really like the idea of being an electrician. I've consider going to vocational school for it. The pay is pretty great and you usually only have to work 3-4 days a week. My friend works 30 hours a week doing odd jobs and makes about 70K$ a year... crazy. If you had to be a master criminal, what would be your area of expertise? I'd be a major pot dealer. I supposedly have mafia blood... think I'll stay clear from that scene. If you had to be a ruling politician, how would you lead? I'd be a morally conscientious dictator and mandate equality for all, legalization of currently controlled substances, reinforce public education, and all that hippy ***." __________________ I spit bullets in my feet Every time I speak So I write instead And still people want me dead ~msc Last edited by GuD; 12-05-2014 at 08:02 PM.*
