Four things people call me:
Michael
Doctor, unfortunately, and then I glare at them threateningly
Idiot (but they’re being nice about it) :D
Four jobs I held
I teach college;
I used to teach high school students English;
Once in college some company gave me money to call companies, ask for their Chief Controlling Officer, and sell them controlling software. I am a social scientist. To this day, I’m not entirely sure what controlling even is. But they gave me a sheet of phrases to use and you know what? It fucking worked. These morons bought software that cost hundreds of thousand of Euro from someone who had no fucking clue what was going on. Ich sags dir, Wirtschaft.
Eeeh.. I don’t think I ever really did anything else. Data entry, at some point. Publishers also give me money because I write books, but that’s like 100 Euro a year so let’s not count that. (don’t ever write books to try to live off of it.)
Four movies I’ve watched more than once
All Indiana Jones Movies
Fargo
All Star Trek Movies
The Life of Brian
Four books I’d recommend
Iain Banks, anything Culture really, but especially Excession
Erving Goffman, The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life, and Interaction Ritual
James S. A. Corey, Leviathan Wakes (The Expanse series; the ppl writing this are students of GRRM, and the books are now being turned into a TV show at Syfy!)
Four Places I’ve lived
Saarland
Statesboro, Ga., USA
Frankfurt
Kassel
Four places I’ve been
Deadwood, SD, USA
Pisa, Italy
Cardiff, Wales, UK
Reykjavik, Iceland (I LOVE ICELAND)
Four things I don’t eat
green beans (ugh)
coconut milk (give me a rash)
mushrooms (they just feel weird)
squid (how could anyone it’s rubber)
Four TV shows I watch
ehm.. all of them?...
Game of Thrones
Better Call Saul
Gravity Falls
Bob’s Burgers
...
Four things I’m looking forward to this year
applying to a million jobs and hopefully having one university make me a professor would be nice
other than that I’ll be happy playing Fantasy Flight games with my friends really
this is a weird question because I never usually think beyond the day after tomorrow
It’ll all work out okay no need to worry about it
Four things I’m saying (also going with “a lot”)(sorry all in german)
Läuft, alles kein Problem
That’s what she said (my friends and I tag that on to EVERYTHING. Yes, we’re functionally 12.)
Jesus Fucking Christ on a broomstick (nah, I’m not religious and it’s Germany so no one gets offended)
