1. If you were given the powers of a god/goddess and invited to live on mount Olympus, what would you be the patron deity of, and what would your signature symbol/weapon be?

Alcohol. Not enough gods endorse getting plastered. My weapon would vary, depending on what food I ate before drinking.

2. Do most of your favorite movies/songs/books come from a specific decade, or is it all an equally distributed mix?

In terms of music, the last 15 years probably has the most favourite albums out of any period. But I think the 70's is the decade in which, on average, I have rated albums higher.

3. Does it bother you more when you feel that someone is trying too hard, or when you feel that someone isn't trying hard enough?

Depends on the situation, but generally people not trying hard enough is clearly going to be worse.

4. If you were given the opportunity to create/compile a soundtrack for a movie, which genre would you prefer that the movie came from?

Oh I'd love to curate a soundtrack to a full on western shoot em up. So many styles work in that regard.

5. You order your favorite flavor of ice cream. The depressed and over worked person behind the counter asks, in a mournful tone, "cup or cone?"

Can you eat a cup? Stupid question.

6. Is there anything that you used to hate as a child, but now love? If not, is there anything you used to love as a child, but now hate?

I used to hate several food stuffs as a kid, but have at least grown to appreciate them. For example: tomatoes, piccalilli, rhubarb crumble.

Order and Chaos. My weapon would be a pair of dice.

2. Do most of your favorite movies/songs/books come from a specific decade, or is it all an equally distributed mix?
Pretty much even.

3. Does it bother you more when you feel that someone is trying too hard, or when you feel that someone isn't trying hard enough?
If it's something I'm passionate or care about, both bother me equally. If it's something I don't give a flip about, I don't care how much effort they put into it.

4. If you were given the opportunity to create/compile a soundtrack for a movie, which genre would you prefer that the movie came from?
Horror.

5. You order your favorite flavor of ice cream. The depressed and over worked person behind the counter asks, in a mournful tone, "cup or cone?"
Which do you prefer? Would you like some?

6. Is there anything that you used to hate as a child, but now love? If not, is there anything you used to love as a child, but now hate?
I used to love seafood and hate hummus. I now basically hate seafood and love hummus.

Question 3: What if the person is as incredible as someone like Frownland and their not trying hard enough is ten times better than what your average person like Steve Jobs might accomplish?

Good qs Ori.

1. If you could force everyone in the world to do one thing, what would you make them do?

Use good manners, costs nothing. It boils my piss when someone goes out of their way to help someone and doesn't receive a thank you.

2. If you committed a crime, and were given the choice of which country to be tried and/or imprisoned in, which would you choose?

UK, I know a couple of non threatening people who ended up in prison and they seemed to cope fine.

3. What's the longest you've gone without sleeping?

About two and a half days, involving drugs of some sort, I then slept for 24 hours.

4. Have you ever had any memorable dreams, or nightmares?

I have had a recurring dream for about 12 years now, it happens maybe once a month. I also enjoy nightmares where I am being chased or in dangerous situations. The last one was a couple of weeks ago.

5. It's Saturday night, everyone you know is busy, and a ridiculous movie just came on the television. Suddenly, a genie appears, and offers to give you three different foods/drinks. What are your choices?

Pizza (New Yorker) and coca cola (beer later, not with pizza)
Chicken balti and Hobgoblin
Shredded chicken tacos and Ribena

6. What are your favorite and least favorite fashion trends throughout history?

I like the casuals style that became popular in Liverpool in the 80s and spread throughout England, smart polos, dark jeans, jackets etc. I dislike the high tops/jeans below your arse/new era cap with sticker still on it look.

Frownland

1. If you could force everyone in the world to do one thing, what would you make them do?

I'd force them to do as they please.

2. If you committed a crime, and were given the choice of which country to be tried and/or imprisoned in, which would you choose?

The Bastoy in Norway sounds pretty nice.

3. What's the longest you've gone without sleeping?

40-50 hours, I kind of lost track towards the end of it.

4. Have you ever had any memorable dreams, or nightmares?

I recently had a dream where I was watching a lunar eclipse and it began to warble and oscillate back and forth as if it was two moons that were formerly aligned. Then they slow down and come back to looking like a single moon when one side of the moon lit up and the sun came out from behind it. I was so wowed by the concept when I woke up that I used it in a story.

5. It's Saturday night, everyone you know is busy, and a ridiculous movie just came on the television. Suddenly, a genie appears, and offers to give you three different foods/drinks. What are your choices?

First I would ask him where the TV came from and if I can keep that without using up one of my wishes. Then I would ask him for a bottle of 18 year old Macallan, a large plate of tuna sushi assortments, and a keg of Asylum.

6. What are your favorite and least favorite fashion trends throughout history?

Zoot suits are pretty cool, man buns are not.

1. If you could force everyone in the world to do one thing, what would you make them do?

Listen to Manowar.

2. If you committed a crime, and were given the choice of which country to be tried and/or imprisoned in, which would you choose?

Sweden or Norway: weak laws, prisons that look more like hotels, no capital punishment, and Scandinavian chicks.

3. What's the longest you've gone without sleeping?

I'm pretty sure I've gone nearly two full days without sleep, but nothing more than that.

4. Have you ever had any memorable dreams, or nightmares?

Don't remember.

5. It's Saturday night, everyone you know is busy, and a ridiculous movie just came on the television. Suddenly, a genie appears, and offers to give you three different foods/drinks. What are your choices?

A spit-roasted boar, cask of mead, and a busty, blonde wench to serve them to me.

6. What are your favorite and least favorite fashion trends throughout history?

Favorite: The bikini.
Least favorite: Most of them, TBH, for one reason or another. I hate fashion. Punk, goth, and hip hop fashion particularly annoy me, though.

Give me a quid.

2. If you committed a crime, and were given the choice of which country to be tried and/or imprisoned in, which would you choose?

United Kingdom I suppose

I did 40 hours the day I came back from America.

4. Have you ever had any memorable dreams, or nightmares?

I'm one of these people who has quite vivid dreams, but then forget specific details and themes almost instantly. I should start a dream journal.

Bottle of the finest scotch. Bottle of the finest red wine. Keg of the finest ale. I'll just order Dom's myself.

6. What are your favorite and least favorite fashion trends throughout history?

Football shirts in the late 80's/early 90's were often unspeakably awful.



And I very much like the button up shirts and shorts combo.

Make them listen to the Merzbox.

2. If you committed a crime, and were given the choice of which country to be tried and/or imprisoned in, which would you choose?

Germany seems to have a relatively lenient and civilized system.

3. What's the longest you've gone without sleeping?

Not much more than 24 hours. I enjoy partying the whole night, but somewhere around noon I have to go to sleep to be able to enjoy anything again.

4. Have you ever had any memorable dreams, or nightmares?

Hell yeah. I'm all about dreaming. There have been some awesome lucid dreams and also a few horrifying, but fascinating nightmares. All of them much to detailed and convoluted to write down here.

5. It's Saturday night, everyone you know is busy, and a ridiculous movie just came on the television. Suddenly, a genie appears, and offers to give you three different foods/drinks. What are your choices?

Sushi, nachos and probably some kind of cake. I never drink alone, so no fancy alcoholic beverages for me.

6. What are your favorite and least favorite fashion trends throughout history?

Don't really care about fashion either way. I dress neutrally and don't follow or even notice trends.
