Hey @aimofdestiny, I bet you thought I forgot or ignored this. Sorry for the delay.
1. What is your dream pet?
A house full of greyhounds, with a single wolfhound in the mix that is super cuddly. I don’t know why, there’s something that just resonates with me about having a home filled with spindly goofballs and a Dr. Seuss character.
2. What’s your favourite number?
31, but I’m a pretty big fan of any Mersenne prime.
3. If you could take one TV series or equivalent away from its showrunner and fix everything they ruined about it, which one would you take?
I would love to see what “Fringe” could have been. I was honestly just hate-watching it by the last season, and it really taught me that it was okay to quit watching a show when it got crappy. Honorable mentions that this lesson applied to: Sleepy Hollow, Grimm, Supernatural.
4. Who’s your favourite Pokémon? (Substitute Digimon or Magic cards if not applicable.)
I never could handle the economic aspect of most CCGs (ie, spending IRL money to create a winning deck). I was a fan of the Monster Rancher video game on Playstation, though. You could turn your music CDs into monsters. I had the Mariah Carey christmas bunny.
5. What’s your D&D alignment?
*snicker*
6. How do you feel about clutter, or open-shelf storage?
I don’t mind open-shelf storage, but clutter bugs me. My in-laws make fun of the fact that I actually use the furniture in hotel rooms, laying out my clothes in the drawers and hanging everything up, because I hate seeing my clothes scattered all over the place or living out of a suitcase. At home I’m not quite as much of a neat-freak (largely due to the working compromise that is marriage), but yeah, I’m definitely anti-clutter.
7. What is your favourite medium to be creative in? (Please share some work you’re proud of here, if it’s online at all.)
GMing is the only thing I’m actively creative in, aside from playing the piano, which anymore is more just a private, personal thing than something I share.
8. What song have your been listening a lot to lately?
My MP3 player stays on “shuffle all” a lot. It tends to drive folks around me crazy, but I get bored just listening to a single album artist, so forget listening to a single song repeatedly. Now, that being said, I have unashamedly been listening to Owl City’s “Fireflies” a lot over the past few weeks. I don’t think I’d heard it before it became a meme, but now I’m kinda obsessed with his music. It’s just... kind... in a way that a lot of music isn’t anymore. [So of course now I queue it up and listen to it again.]
9. Clearance Hunting or Thrift Shopping?
I avoid shopping as much as possible. I actually just cancelled my Stitch Fix subscription; I liked the idea of not having to shop to find clothes, but their sense of style was just way too.... “normal” for me. No vests, no suspenders, no bow ties, no banded collars... they sent me a pocketed t-shirt... /shudder.
10. What is the most expensive article of clothing you own?
I have a black full-length duster that I got for cosplaying. Either that or my leather hat.
11. Say something nice about your best friend.
Dude, this guy... this dude.... my man..... he has no boundaries, in a good way. He heard me say once that I missed the fact that nobody ever just “dropped by” anymore. There’s just an insistence on calling first in our society today, which I sort of understand, but I offhandedly mentioned once that I’d never had a friend just drop by for the heck of it unannounced. Not even in college, because I lived off-campus. I’ve always been sort of jealous of just being in a place where somebody would stick there head in, ask if they could play a video game with me, and just jump in. He remembered this, and a few weeks later, road his bike three hours to get to my house from where he lived in the next state, just so he could “drop by” and we could play video games together.
