fearsclave asked:

1) What have you named your worms?

As yet, I call them only "Worms" or "Wormses." As in "All right, Wormses, come and get it!" when I feed them. There are 800+ of them in there, and I can't actually see them as they're below the surface of the soil, which makes it hard to name them.

If I could get away with it, I'd probably come up with names for them. :)

2) What's your role in the party?

I'm usually the reluctant Voice of Reason/healer in the party. I don't like to lead or to be the one responsible for decision-making, but people tend to look to me by default to take the lead if no one wants it.

3) Describe your ideal life in five years; where would you like to be and what would you like to be doing?

In five years I will be living in my own house, somewhere in the country (looks like Alexandria or thereabouts, since that's where I have friends/people/extended family). I will have a rabbit hutch and a hen coop, and with any luck will have found a steady job somewhere nearby so that I don't have to commute to Montreal every day. If I'm really lucky, the job will be dispatcher for the local OPP.

Heck, as long as I'm dreaming in technicolour, I may as well stick a lovely and loving wife in there in the bargain. :)

4) How would you go about saving humanity from itself?

If I figure that out, I'll let you know. Right now my gut tells me that we need a combination of grassroots movements (let people figure out for themselves that they need to change and change Right Now), and widespread governmental programs to enable people to help themselves as well, and to force huge corporations and multinationals to turn away from the worship of Mammon and to realize that they're destroying themselves as well as the world on which they depend.

5) Have you ever thought about having kids?

Frequently. If there ever comes a time when I am financially secure and have a home that's not a one-bedroom apartment in the middle of a big city, I would like to have children. Actually, I have long given considerable thought to fostering children. Before I was adopted I lived in a foster home with a lady who'd made fostering her life-long commitment to society (a promise she'd made to God when one of her own children recovered from cancer, I believe), and I would love to keep the cycle going.

Here are the rules, for everyone else:

THE RULES:
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better!
3. You WILL update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

interview me!

[mousme.livejournal.com]

1- What did you think your career would be when you were 15 years old? Why?

2- Tell the world about your painting. When did you start, and why?

[djs-specs.livejournal.com]

Oh what the hell... Interview me. Although I suck so hard at interviewing anyone else :P

[mousme.livejournal.com]

1- Do you like what you're doing now? Why?

2- What are you best at in life? (No being flippant!)

3- When did you start roleplaying, on the 'net or otherwise?

4- What's your favourite fandom currently? (C'mon, I know you must have one. ;) )

Hey.

[fearsclave.livejournal.com]

I thought *I* was always the Voice of Reason.

Re: Hey.

[mousme.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. Yeah. Sure, Agent Felix, I believe you.

Re: Hey.

[fearsclave.livejournal.com]

Hey, come on. ulvain and Nico always wanted to talk to the Nameless Horrors. Most of the time, shooting it before they opened their mouths was the only reasonable option :).

Re: Hey.

[mousme.livejournal.com]

True. Talking to the Nameless Horrors is usually counterproductive. Unless, like Blythe, you summon them on purpose in order to thwart the Technocracy. ;)

Re: Hey.

[fearsclave.livejournal.com]

The urge to blow the Fourth (or is it the Fifth) Wall wide open with them was sometimes overwhelming: "Gentlemen, this is reality, not a roleplaying game. What do you think the odds of it wanting to be your friend are?"

Do it.

[kino-kid.livejournal.com]

Interview me.

Re: Do it.

[mousme.livejournal.com]

1- Name five things you love about yourself.

2- Name the one person in anime who has most influenced your view of the genre.

3- Who is the speculative fiction author you are most excited about these days, and why?

4- If/when you find someone with whom you'd want a committed relationship, would you actually get married, or simply be common-law? Why?

5- Tell me about your favourite colour. What it is, why it's your favourite, how long it's been that way, whether it's changed over the years, etc.

[rosy1.livejournal.com]

I thoroughly enjoyed your interview Daphne...there were lots of pleasant
"Oh, I did not know!" moments.

[mousme.livejournal.com]

Thanks! What was it, out of curiosity, that you didn't know about me? :)

[rosy1.livejournal.com]

What you envison your ideal life entailing (in the country with a hen coop - wow!) + your desire to foster kids and why...

Oh, and the fact that you can sleep with 800 worms in your apartment - ;p

Euh... Reads the rules again... Oh!

Interview Me! (Helping me fill in my LiveJournal with Good Entries! :o)

Damn.

[blackbuffet.livejournal.com]

That Anonyme Dimwit above is me.

Interview Me. (It will ACTUALLY help make for a GOOD LJ Entry! :o)

Re: Damn.

[mousme.livejournal.com]

1- Describe what it takes to run a LARP which will hold your players' attention for years.

2- What do you like the most and the least about your current line of work?

3- What do you like most about RPGs: interesting stories, interesting character development, or whacking monsters? ;) (Your choices are not limited to the above, naturally)

4- If you were to find yourself in a romantic relationship again, what would you consider a Deal Breaker™, now that you've got a few more years' worth of experience under your belt? Why?

5- Are you still active in your Church? Why or why not?

Dense, this interviewee may be...

[blackbuffet.livejournal.com]

Please define Deal Breaker (TM). (As in, do you mean something essential for the Deal OR as in, something that I would absolutely want to avoid in the Deal?)

Boy am I slow.

Re: Dense, this interviewee may be...

[mousme.livejournal.com]

It's what makes or breaks the relationship. The one thing on which you will. not. compromise. Ever. So, if the other person doesn't share your point of view, the deal is off. Hence, Deal Breaker.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. :)

[shenlo.livejournal.com]

Innervoo me?

[mousme.livejournal.com]

1- What are you looking forward to the most about being a father?

2- What's your favourite thing/person/animal to draw?

3- Do you plan the stories for YAFGC, or do they just sort of happen as you're drawing?

4- Do you like to cook? If so, what kind of dishes do you like to prepare?

5- Do you prefer running games or playing in them? Do you have a preference at all? Elaborate. :)

[bodhifox.livejournal.com]

If you care to take a shot at a stranger, interview me?
