So I've been tagged in multiple things for a while now, and being the negligent jackass I am, I've haven't been doing them. A part of my wanted to, but a bigger part of me was lazy as hell until I got reminded of them all when sarahakele tagged me in something today. So with apologies to bunny-in-pink and ziiteara I'll be doing them all at once now, in what I think is chronological order
For ziiteara:
Tagged by ziiteara
Rule #1, always post the rules. Rule #2, answer the questions the person who tagged you asked, then write 11 new ones. Rule #3, tag 11 people then link them in the post. Rule #4, tell then you tagged them. Rule #5, tell the person that tagged you when you’ve answered the questions.
Questions:
1. How would you spend a day/night with your favourite person?
Depends on the favorite person, since I have like three people who can be counted. One of them would be watching One Piece and probably talking about whatever comes to mind, talk about life and out respective fiction stuff, like we already do online, but in person so it would probably happen more fluidly. The other two, despite their personality differences would be fun to spend time with in the same, or at least similar ways, which would mostly be like the first one but with less watching of One Piece, unless my talking about it convinces them to finally give it a try. In all three cases it would probably also be nice to do it while on a long walk, while maybe stopping for a bite to eat when we get hungry at wherever seems interesting.
2. Found anything interesting lately?
I found a new scotch that I kind of like, but that's not really all that interesting, no matter what hardcore alcohol lovers might say.
3. What do you like most about the sky?
I don't really look at the sky too much any more, but I remember liking looking at the stars at night when I lived in Wyoming away from any city. I can't really do that nearly so much here in Ogden.
4. Dream Job?
Being an electronics engineer who moonlights as a science fiction author.
5. What kind of blog is yours?
Well my rebloggery blog is, as the title implies, a blog for reblog spam. The current marvinthethird blog is mostly for original posts of varying kinds, and when I get back to it a thorough debunk of pseudoscience movement Spirit Science, hopefully with some talk on the thinking pitfalls that can lead an otherwise intelligent person to fall for something like that. Last of all, my creative works blog is devoted to my drawing and writing, and in at least one case a work based off of my works.
6. Got any pet peeves that you really can’t deal with?
Anything involving conspiracy theorist talk. I hear it anyway at work sometimes, and I just have to keep quiet while just screaming on the inside.
7. Do you think a social life is more important than education?
I think they're both necessary. It's an enormous tragedy that we're forced to choose between the two, since we as a social species need to relate to other people to really be whole, but we also need to always be learning and expanding our boundaries to keep our brains sharp too. We need both, and need to balance them.
8. Still in or out of School?
Out of school at the moment to pay off an insane ton of debt. I will return to education after it's taken care of and I've saved enough money to deal with student life without much worry.
9. If you could name a planet, what would it be?
I'd probably name planets after my characters from my fiction works, because I'm awful like that
10. Why did you choose the URL you have?
Well all of them except for the one I don't use any more have marvinthethird in them, because my name is Marvin Harris Jordan III, so I am the third Marvin, and beyond that the rest of their names are pretty self-explanatory.
11. Who would you tell if something reaaaaalllly big was going down?
Probably the three people hinted to in the first question
I have another one of these to do, so I'll just lump my own questions and the people I tag for it together for both of them in the end.
For bunny-in-pink:
Once you have been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 92 truths about you. At the end choose 10 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person you who tagged you.
i was tagged by bunny-in-pink
1. WHAT WAS YOUR Last beverage: scotch and the water to chase it Last phone call: my civil service boss when I called in sick a few days ago Last text message: a group message from my room mate reminding the D&D party that it's going down this weekend Last song you listened to: You Can't Kill Rock and Roll by Ozzy Osbourne on the way home from work. Speaking of, I should put some music on. Last time you cried: It was reading One Piece. That silly pirate anime keeps finding ways to get at me.
2. HAVE YOU EVER Dated someone twice: no Been cheated on: yes Kissed someone and regretted it: yes Lost someone special: yes Been depressed: yes Been drunk and threw up: definitely and regrettably
3. THREE FAVORITE COLORS: blue, silver, and dark red
4.LAST YEAR, HAVE YOU: Made a new friend: Yes Fallen out of love: yes Met someone who changed you: yes Found out who your true friends are: I think so, but it's always a never ending process really. Found out someone was talking about you: no, but I'm a pretty shoddy maintainer so someone probably is, and not in a nice way.
5. GENERAL How many of your FB friends do you know in real life: Most but not all of them
6. FIRSTS First piercing: I don't have any, sorry First best friend: Shane Stuhmiller. I haven't seen him or heard from him in over a decade though. He probably wouldn't bother with me anyway. First sport you joined: First and only was Soccer. I thought I was at least kind of good at it. I was sorely mistaken First vacation: When I went home after getting back from Iraq. First pair of sneakers: I don't even remember
7. RIGHT NOW Eating: no, but I might have to snack in a minute Drinking: scotch About to: answer a shit-ton more questions, try to find five nice things to say about myself, which sounds like a failure waiting to happen, and probably watch some One Piece before bed. I mention that show way too much. Waiting for: being able to leave aircraft maintenance with a solid enough career to never come back.
8. YOUR FUTURE Want kids: undecided, probably depends on who, if anyone, I settle down with. Get married: if I ever have someone I'm that close to, though let's face it, I'm not really someone anyone would want to see themselves with. Career: As said in the last set of questions, electronics engineer who moonlights as a science fiction author
9. WHICH IS BETTER Lips or eyes: why would you make me choose? Hugs or kisses: It depends Shorter or taller: either/or Older or younger: I could go either way. Romantic or spontaneous: Romantic I guess, but really either one could be amazing. Nice stomach or nice arms: Either/or, again! Sensitive or loud: Would it be wrong to say both? Hook-up or relationship: relationship Troublemaker or hesitant: Isn't there some middle ground there?
10. HAVE YOU EVER Kissed a stranger: yes. It was a weird night. Drank hard liquor: yes Lost glasses/contacts: yes Sex on first date: guilty Broke someones heart: Yes. It wouldn't have worked anyway, but I still kick myself for doing that to her. Been arrested: define "arrested" Turned someone down: yes, and for shallow reasons. Cried when someone died: only once, and for a Robin Williams, a celebrity I never even met, when I have relatives who have passed without me shedding a tear. There has to be something wrong with me.
11. DO YOU BELIEVE IN Yourself: Only in that I believe I exist. Miracles: no Love at first sight: no Heaven: no Santa Claus: no, never. Kiss on the first date: yes Angels: no

Once you get this you must post 5 nice things about yourself and send this to 10 of your favorite followers (other than me because I already did it). Saying nice things about yourself can be difficult but I know you can do it! :D
1. I am improving as a writer. Enough time, and I might just write tolerable science fiction.
2. I at least try to be a good friend, "try" being the operative word.
3. I've been told I could be good with a guitar if I'd practice.
4. My fiction ideas are ideas that other people seem to enjoy.
5. I try to be helpful around the house. Once again, "try" is the operative word.
And for this one I tag everyone from the last set, with the addition of bunny-in-pink, with the exception for ziiteara since she put me tagged me, unless she wants to,.

Rule 1) Always post the rules.
Rule 2) Answer the questions the other person asked then write 11 new ones for the people you tag.
Rule 3) Tag 11 people in the post.

Rule 5) Tell the person who tagged you that you’ve answered the questions!
i got tagged by sarahakele
1. Favorite comic book character (movie and TV adaptations included)?
That's probably a toss-up between Spider Jerusalem, The Tick, and MCU Tony Stark
2. If you could cosplay any Disney character, Who and Why?
I haven't watched much Disney stuff in a shamefully long time. I don't know, probably a villain, Disney frequently had interesting villains.
3. Can you sing a song in any language besides English?
At one point, yes.
4. If yes, what language? If no, what language besides English would you like to be able to sing in?
It was in Latin, and it was for high school concert choir. If I had to pick, Japanese, mostly for various One Piece theme music.
5. Current favorite meme?
The "crave that mineral" thing used to frequently get me, but mostly because I was surprised to find out people didn't seem to know goats needed minerals and salts in their diet. I then realized that not everyone grew up in a family that owned goats, and I feel very bad for everyone because of that.
6. What was the most recent book you read?
Young Miles by Lois McMaster Bujold. It was an amazing set of science fiction stories set around the titular Miles Vorkosigan. It was a fun read.
7. If you could see any concert right now, who would you go see?
Either Bad Religion or The Sword again. Both were awesome experiences the last time.
8. Which of the four Nations in Avatar: The Last Airbender do you come from?
Earth, maybe? I'm actually not sure
9. What’s the closest object to you that starts with the letter M?
One pf my Magic:the Gathering cards. I'm not going to measure exactly which one it is, it's a bunch of them in a pile.
10. Favorite candle scent?
Lavender, I guess. It's a pleasant enough scent.
11. What’s something you collect? (If you don’t collect anything, what would you like to collect?)
Coins, mostly limited kinds like bicentennial quarters and various dollar coins.
My 11 questions, for both of the 11 questions things:
1. Star Trek or Star Wars? Neither? Both?
2. Favorite YouTuber, if any?
3. What was your favorite cartoon growing up?
4. What's your favorite candy?
5. Animation or live action, and why?
6. What's your preferred genre of fiction?
7. Are there any genres you can't stand?
8. Do you play Magic: the gathering? If so, which color do you like best?
9. Do you do some kind of art? If you do, what to you love about the art you do?
10. Do you prefer driving/riding in a car, walking, or bicycling?
11. What kind of music do you like?
