1.Tell me about about yourself.

My full name is Edmund Roger Roland Moody, I'm almost 6 foot and still growing, I like eating things, but I am still really skinny. Well, that's what a girl said when she hugged me once. I thought that new Cleveland show thing was awful, I enjoy playing instruments on skype to you and your friends. I have known you for more than a year although it feels I have known you forever, you complete me. I hope my parents don't mind about the age difference... (I just re-read this part, it was supposed to be a joke, but now it seems creepy, although I'll think I'll leave it there because I am getting an honesty vibe from this thread.)

2. What's your favorite part of the Escapist? Forums, videos, contests, advertisements, articles? Is there anything you'd like to do, but you're too afraid/unsure of how to try?
Oh the community! I would love to meet you all in real life, except Combined because he would probably hit me, naw I'm just joking Combined I love you really, even if you beat me... alot...

3. If you could describe your life in music, how would you do it and why?
If I was still feeling the same as I was on sunday, I probably would have posted this:

4. Are you right or left-handed?

Right-handed, but I could train myself to use my left-hand well quickly if I needed too, I think but I would probably just get other people to write for me if I lost my right hand, it would improve my handwriting.

5. How are you feeling right now? (Don't knock it, it's a really important question. Feel free to go on at length.)

I'm great, I was kinda sad for some reason during the half-term we just had, but that's (probably) because I am a teenager, but since I got back to school (yesterday) I have recovered, I think I just need people in order to function well, otherwise I got mental! Bad mental. Not good ol'ordinary mental. Basically I need to take things people say less seriously and when I am feeling depressed not to spew it out onto everyone.

6. Do you have a religious belief, and without going into too much argumentative detail, is it important to you?

It's not important to me, I am an Athiest. I enjoy hearing other people's beliefs though, I just hope I don't come across as too argumentative when I discuss it with them. I think if something really bad happened to me in my life, I would probably become a buddhist, their religion really appeals to me, it's just the reincarnation thing seems abit unreal, I like their belief's though.

7. If you could go to a convention for any form of fandom, what fandom would it be. Do you have a specific convention in mind when you answer this question?

Escapist fandom! Actually, no. Hmm, that's a tough one. Actually, yes. An IRC meet-up convention! I would be able to meet all you guys and then you could give me free stuff, and food. I like food.

8. Finally, what's your favorite food item? Any particular drink or wine you like to go with it?

Honestly? It's easier if I list the things I don't like: raw pineapples and marmite.

And the final one. Yeah you can meet my parents, as long as you talk about interesting things, I can imagine you having a good discussion with my Dad about random things.

1. I'm a 22-year-old finnish male student of computer sciences.. I play guitar in a band, I've been told I'm a nihilist. I didn't take it as a compliment, and I don't think it was meant as one.

2. Zero Punctuation, and probably these forums. I wouldn't be writing/reading these if I didn't like them, I guess.

3. I don't understand the question. If my life was a song?

4. Leftie.

5. Slightly tipsy, also tired.

6. I'm an atheist.

7. I'd like to see a gaming convention, like the olden style E3's or something. Might be fun.

8. Steak probably. I guess I'd drink red wine with it. Favorite drink would (once again) be Laphroaig.

I don't want to meet anyone's parents.

1. An 18.9 year old British/Finnish cynical, unlovable arsehole born in Iserlohn, Germany (Dad was in the British Army, he was posted there at the time), currently living in Vantaa, Finland. Jesus fuck it's cold here. Got 2 lovely [http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/2218/dscf3355c.jpg] cats [http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/369/dscf3364.jpg] that, apart from the family members, pretty much are my only company. Been gaming most of my life, but due to incessant technical difficulties, i'm starting to tire of it.

2. Just the off-topic and gaming discussion

3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMl-OqxmuiU
Don't pay much heed to the lyrics, i'm not much of a lyrics guy.

4. Right handed

5. Pretty shit, though that's the normal for me these days

6. Apatheism i.e. I don't give a rat's arse about religion as long as it does not get in the way of myself, human rights, science or other things that I believe to be strictly secular matters.

7. None.

8. Pizza, specifically pepperoni, with a bottle of Coke (preferably in one of those glass bottles, they always seem to taste better)

1. Tell me a bit about yourself. No more than a paragraph. Talk about whatever you think is relevant, be it interests, or height, favorite Mass Effect manufacturer, whatever.

Well, I'm 18 and live in Vermont. I'm interest in games(duh), TV, movies, and for some reason that I have never been able to figure out, I find history very interesting. I don't mean that in a bad way, I love history, but I just don't know why I love it. I've never had a girlfriend, and haven't really been bothered by that fact. I am probably one of the 5 young men who don't give a shit about cars or driving or sports. I usually think before I act, and generally am a pretty quiet guy. I prefer to speak only when I can add something important ot a conversation. But once you get to know me I'm a really cool, funny guy. At least thats what people tell me :p

2. What's your favorite part of the Escapist? Forums, videos, contests, advertisements, articles? Is there anything you'd like to do, but you're too afraid/unsure of how to try?

Favorite part would have to be the community. The forums are filled with pretty decent people, and despite people claiming the quality is degrading, in the 1.9 years I've been here, I haven't noticed it. I also really love some of the video's, mainly Doomsday Arcade and Unskippable. Delorious and Associates has captured my interest recently. The usergroups are also fantastic. I can't tell you all the fun times had in the TF2 usergroup [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/chat/The-Escapist-Team-Fortress-2-Group-PC] :D.

3. If you could describe your life in music, how would you do it and why?


4. Are you right or left-handed?

Right handed

5. How are you feeling right now? (Don't knock it, it's a really important question. Feel free to go on at length.)

Right now, my stomach isn't feeling to good. Then again I just ate a lot of Wendy's, so its not suprising. I'm also really happy, since I just got Heavy Rain and and really happy with it so far. I also am anxious since Bad Company 2 comes out soon, and I can't wait. Also sometimes I read the news and just feel awful. Because I just can't believe all the crap that is considered "news" nowadays.

6. Do you have a religious belief, and without going into too much argumentative detail, is it important to you?

I do have a religious beliefe. I believe in God, but I don't go to church or anything like that. I believe that it doesn't matter what religion you are, or if you don't believe in anything. As long as your a good person, all is well. And why you should be punished just because you don't accept a certain way of believing/interperating him you will go to a burning lake of fire. That just doesn't make sense. Yes, religion has caused a shit load of wars and unnecissary deaths in the world, but it has also done great good. It gave us some of the most beutiful artwork imaginable. It helped lots of people. And most people are rational, its just the fanatics on both the religious and anti-religious side that give both sides bad names. Everyone should choose their own path on this matter. No one should force anyone else. And yes, it is very important to me.

7. If you could go to a convention for any form of fandom, what fandom would it be. Do you have a specific convention in mind when you answer this question?

A Video Game convention would be a nice thing to go to. I would kill to have an Escapist convention of some sort ;)

8. Finally, what's your favorite food item? Any particular drink or wine you like to go with it?

Oh man, thats a doozy. I don't have a favorite. I would have to say any type of meat. And my favorite beverage would have to be Pepsi. I don't care if everyone else hates it, I like it, and I drink it happily!
There you go friend :)

1. Tell me a bit about yourself. No more than a paragraph. Talk about whatever you think is relevant, be it interests, or height, favorite Mass Effect manufacturer, whatever.
I'm a very antisocial person[footnote]I've been diagnosed with Aspergers[/footnote] in reality, so coming on here is a true method of escape for me. I may use it more than is healthy, but I really don't have any desire to change that anytime soon. As far as outside interests go, it's pretty much just my girlfriend, school, and volleyball when I can get a good group of people together.

2. What's your favorite part of the Escapist? Forums, videos, contests, advertisements, articles? Is there anything you'd like to do, but you're too afraid/unsure of how to try?
Undoubtedly the Forums. The community is normally a joy to interact with, and it's just fun to me.
I'd love to be able to write my own review, but as I've learned in the past, I don't have the commitment or the kind of mindset needed to write one worth others reading
.

3. If you could describe your life in music, how would you do it and why?
A spastic flailing on keyboards and drums, just because I don't feel that organized right now.

4. Are you right or left-handed?
Neither. I write with my eyes.
[sup]okay, right handed.[/sup]


5. How are you feeling right now? (Don't knock it, it's a really important question. Feel free to go on at length.)
Right now, I'm okay. More of a content/Meh state than anything. I should probably be more stressed out about some scholastic things, but I cannot manage to make myself really care about them.
Oh well.



6. Do you have a religious belief, and without going into too much argumentative detail, is it important to you?
I do consider myself a Christian, although I can't really say it's been all that impacting other than my nightly behavior.

7. If you could go to a convention for any form of fandom, what fandom would it be. Do you have a specific convention in mind when you answer this question?
Oh god...I'd hate a convention. Too many people for me to deal with.

8. Finally, what's your favorite food item? Any particular drink or wine you like to go with it?
Probably lobster. I love lobster.
And meaty pizza...if those two were combined, I would be so happy.
As far as drinks go, my favorite for any kind of food is Diet Dr. Pepper[footnote]I'm diabetic, hence the need for a diet drink.[/footnote]


Interesting topic, Nuke.
*takes DNA from clipboard*
I'm gonna hang onto this now.

Oh, and my parents would indeed love to have you over.
How does this next Monday at 9pm work?
They'll have Bacon.

1. I'm Hubilub. More of an introduction may not be needed, but I shall give you one anyway. Some people love me, some people hate me, most people don't really know me at all. Even though being heart broken is something I often come by I can never get enough in the love-department. It's just the way I am. I post a lot on this place because I love this place. It's not just a site I visit now and again, it's my computers homepage, the place where I've gotten to learn many many friends, and heck, it's even thanks to this place that I have a girlfriend. I'm forever in dept to this site, and I never wish to leave it. If I wasn't dating I would make love to it.

2. The forums as a whole. Yes, Zero Punctuation and Unskippable are fun, but the forums are where the real shit happens! OK, so it isn't very exiting, but as I've said, I make friends, I have fun, and I love it. And I love you. Yes, you.

3. My life in music? Hmmm....

Yesterday by the Beatles. It does not represent my full life, but I've been able to relate to that song enough times for me to consider it for this spot.

4. I'm middle-footed.

5. Well, my girlfriend is currently 150 kilometers from me, and I really, really miss her. I will meet her eventually, but it seems like an eternity until then. Strangely enough, I'm not sad. I'm just... In a state of mind that is indescribable.

6. I am an atheist, and it is not important to me. Religion does not play a part in my life.

7. Any kind of Escapist convention! I would get the autographs for all the mods and the people providing content, and I would go around talking to the other users of the Escapist and having a blast. Hurray!

8. The blood of my enemies. With a little sugar on top.

D'awwww, well NewClassic you know I love you, no need to be shy. Of course I'll help you out!

1:
Oh dear. Well, um, gee, um. What's relevant? Well relevance is relative, I guess. I'll just give you a quick run-down: fiction lover (especially sci-fi and fantasy, in book, movie and game form), music lover (rock and jazz being my main genres, but I listen to a lot), Renaissance gamer (but keep sports-managements games away from me), like sports (I see them as just another form of gaming), inferiority complex, unhappy with current life, about 6'4"/1.96m, pay attention to my looks and how I dress.

That's about everything that's relevant, I think.

2:
The people. An interesting and polite community with, at times, interesting discussions. The News section ranks quite high as well.

3:
I really wouldn't know. My life is like a rollercoaster of emotional ups and downs, if I had to express it in musical form, it could go from Gary Jules - Mad World to Chumbawamba - Tubthumping and lots of other songs in between.

4:
Right-handed.

5:
Neutral. I don't like the fact that I have a headache, that I wasted my evening and have to work the whole day tomorrow. I want to talk to the person I care about, really, that always brightens up my day. Plus it means I can't watch Batman: The Animated Series in the morning, which is one of my fav ways of waking up.

But I do like the fact that I'm listening to an awesome song (Alphaville - Forever Young) and finally got 266 euro's back from the gym (they billed that on top of the regular fee, for some odd reason) so I can finally put a decent amount of money on my savings account this month and buy 2 Batman comics I've been wanting for a while (though I still have to finish Dune and The Fountainhead). So it's kinda balanced out.

6:
No, I don't believe anything, I am opinion-less. It's not like my opinion changes anything; a diety either exists or it does not, what I think has no effect on that. Unless gods work like Warhammer/W40k's Chaos gods.

I do consider myself to be a bit spiritual and philosophical, but on a very down-to-earth, not-supernatural way. I consider some parts of it to be important to me, like my views on love, but others (like my lack of views on diety's, I really have none) are not.

I used to focus a lot more on it, was pretty political as well, but I kinda let it all go and I'm not bothered about all that no more. I just want to be happy you know?

7:
The first thing that springs to mind would be an old-school, completely over-the-top glamorous E3. You exactly what I mean, don't you?

When thinking the question through, I'd also go for BlizzCon, ComicCon, PAX, a random but properly organised sci-fi convention and a classical Renaissance fair.

8:
Chocolate. That's all there is to it. No drinks are needed, just chocolate will do. Especially in mousse form.

1. Well, I'm 16, and I'm generally a silly pimp. I love to write, and I think I'm pretty opinionated. But I'm also relaxed, and a bit insane. I'm an athlete, I love basketball (more than I love gaming)

2. Well, I have to say that I love reviewing. But I generally spend most of my time in offtopic. I just love meeting people and sharing my opinions. And you guys are all pretty silly.

3. Like this

I don't know what you heard about me
But a ***** can't get a dollar out of me
No Cadillac, no perms, you can't see
That I'm a motherfucking P-I-M-P

The hottest under the sun
Ain't nobody fucking with me, man
And you already know thats pimpin'
4. I'm a righty

5. I'm pretty tired but and uneasy. I have some exams tomorrow; but I'm wasting my time with your silly clip board.

6. I'm a Desit, which means I believe in a god but not one from any specific faith. Think of my god as a giant engineer/scientist. But no, I wouldn't call myself religious at all.

7. A Jak and Daxter one. I don't cosplay, but I would dress as Jak and get all the womens.

8. Greek Fast food. A Shiskabob or Gyros in pita. And my drink of choice would be Dr Pepper. As indicated by the Avy.

And god no... lets keep this at casual sex

1. 6ft, Brown hair Brown eyes,soon to be 19, college dropout and love drumming.

2. Found it through Zero Punctuation, but kept having a look at the forums and eventually joined in. Don't post much but I do read a lot of the threads.

3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEDlO-jRNZo

4. Right, babbyyy.

5. Tired as hell from a cold and wet day at work and exercising. But other than that ambitious, I always am when I'm in a good mood. Also anxious, as I'm planning to go to the Musicians Institute next year, and feel like I can't practice as much as I'd like to due to work.

6. Athiest, but I do believe there is something more, just not in the religious sense.

7. Drum convention, I went to one last year but it wasn't any good. I want to go to NAMM at least once.

8. Fillet steak with mushrooms and chips. If you haven't tried it buy a decent steak, a ton of mushrooms and Mc'Cains chunky chips, (the one in the silver bag) and to go with that water, can't have any other drink while eating.

1. Muh name r Emilee. I'm loud for someone so short, as somebody once said. I'm possibly the most laid back person you will ever meet; srsly if you see me stress there is a problem. I'm childish, quite sweet and easily pleased. WLTM handsome man with big wage and GSOH. lol

2. I like the forums, the videos, the quizzes, the chat, talking to people. I want to try RPing but I don't really understand it, and I'd be lame :(

3. Look at my name and take a guess. Probably because I'm erratic, especially mood wise. Loud and cheerful, but can be in your face, obnoxious. I also hold an adoration for bright colours.

4. Right. Need moar?

5. Quite calm. I was incredibly depressed a couple of days ago, but I'm just trying not to think about it. Slightly happy because I'm pleased with a picture I drew ^^;

6. Atheist, but I respect other people's views, so it is important to me I suppose.

7. A Final Fantasy one *_* I'd never cosplay, I'm far too fat and ugly, so I don't want to be one of those English bad cosplayers.

8. Fish, bacon, pasta, salads. I don't look it, but I eat quite healthily.

My mum does a wonderful Steak Stack. You're welcome any time.

1. Tell me a bit about yourself. No more than a paragraph. Talk about whatever you think is relevant, be it interests, or height, favorite Mass Effect manufacturer, whatever.

I love reading. Novels, comic books, manga, even poetry now and then. Also, I'm such an otaku that I legally changed my name from Michael to Michael Katsuro. Katsuro is a Japanese name. Also, I enjoy cross-dressing. Oh, and I suffer from three different mental disorders. ADD, Asberger's syndrome, and OCD.


2. What's your favorite part of the Escapist? Forums, videos, contests, advertisements, articles? Is there anything you'd like to do, but you're too afraid/unsure of how to try?

The forum and Zero Punctuation. That's it.


3. If you could describe your life in music, how would you do it and why?

I'd sing a medley of "Turning Japanese" and "Sweet transvestite". Why? Well, I am an otaku and a cross-dresser.


4. Are you right or left-handed?

Yes, I am right or left-handed. However did you guess? (Seriously though, right.)


5. How are you feeling right now? (Don't knock it, it's a really important question. Feel free to go on at length.)

Worried about my OCDs getting me, but also happy that I've got so many manga books from the library to read.


6. Do you have a religious belief, and without going into too much argumentative detail, is it important to you?

No. I always believed that if any religious belief turns out to be true, which I don't think it will, it'll be considered a scientific fact like any other.


7. If you could go to a convention for any form of fandom, what fandom would it be. Do you have a specific convention in mind when you answer this question?

Yes, I'm going to Uppcon in a month and a half. It's the biggest otaku convention in Scandinavia.


8. Finally, what's your favorite food item? Any particular drink or wine you like to go with it?

Spicy Thai beef with rice. I like to drink milk to it, to cool my burning mouth off.

1. Tell me a bit about yourself.
I'm a guy, just over 6 foot, currently studying Maths, Physics and History at school before (hopefully) going to uni next year. I'm pretty secretive when it comes to my feelings and opening up to people. No, scratch that, I'm very secretive. Potentially minor paranoia. None of my friends really know anything about me that I wouldn't want everyone to know. My secrets stay with me. I am also the most complicated person I know.....

2. What's your favorite part of the Escapist?
Probably these forums, or maybe some of the videos. The stuff that makes me laugh and, sometimes, make me think.

3. If you could describe your life in music, how would you do it and why?
I would get together a huge montage of all genres of music. I'm a man of contradictions, sometimes angry and sometimes the mellowest person ever.

4. Are you right or left-handed?
100% right.

5. How are you feeling right now?
Tired, slightly tetchy. But sort of calm at the same time (see, contradictions - I don't make sense)

6. Do you have a religious belief, and without going into too much argumentative detail, is it important to you?
I believe that there might be a God, and if there is, then he's cool enough to let someone into Heaven without praying/going to religious place. Basically I try to be a nice guy and hopefully that'll be enough.

7. If you could go to a convention for any form of fandom, what fandom would it be. Do you have a specific convention in mind when you answer this question?
Something to do with classic video games. Or Physics. And no.

8. Finally, what's your favorite food item? Any particular drink or wine you like to go with it?
Hmm I'm thinking curry, or pie. Or steak. All are good. And ermm since I'm 18, any kind of alcoholic drink sounds good

... Does this mean I have to meet your parents? Damn. Think they'll do steak for dinner when I go over?

Hmmm probably, my mum is pretty cool.

3. Your title reminded me of

4. I am ALWAYS right!

5. Pretty neutral to be honest.

6. I don't really have any religious beliefs.

7. One Piece. I would go as Sanji.

8. A good roast pork served with apple sauce.

I'm serious, I want that clipboard back.:
1. I am what I believe is termed an eccentric. I'm very relaxed and will not be rushed for anything. I enjoy playing music. Other stuff as well.

2. I like the articles and the videos. The forums are good as well.

3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_sBOsh-vyI
Because it is quite a relaxed song but the lyrics fit to how I think.

4. Right

5. Relaxed, but a little worried about an assignment.

6. I am currently undecided. My opinion is that religion should not have as large an influence as it does, so if religion is onvolved in something it puts me off.

7. Probably Star Wars. No specific ones though.

8. Fried English Breakfast. A proper manly meal.

1. 19, almost 20. I work a lousy job and go to community college (for now) in hopes of getting a good writing career. Aside from that, I'm about gaming and starting up projects that inevitably don't get finished because something else comes up and I get started on working with that one instead. Almost reminds me of Dexter's Laboratory but without robots and a monkey fighting a duck.

2. I came for Zero Punctuation and still like it to this day. I mostly stick around for the various videos. While I like stuff from the Loading-Ready-Run team and Yahtzee, I get a little annoyed with some of the reviews from guys like MovieBob. I watch his stuff still, just to see what kind of stuff he'll say that annoys me on a given week. Animated stuff like Doraleus and Unforgotten Realms can be good too.

3. Most Bowling for Soup music can cover describing my life (save for the drinking and drunkenness).

4. Right, but I can do quite a few things with my left better than my right (sports and percussion for starters)

5. Tired. Worked all day and I've got homework due tomorrow and next Friday. Can't think of a good story idea for the project due Friday. I have ideas but they fail to fit the parameters set for the project. I'm sure I'll come up with something though. Usually do. Also, a bit thirsty.

6. My religious belief is that religions (the organized religions) are a crutch on society and merely cause more problems than solve (or just fails to solve quite a few of them). However, I am not opposed to simply having faith in higher powers should people choose to do so. I tend to believe in a more polytheistic approach. Multiple gods getting drunk and doing stupid shit explains stuff better than one loving god torturing us (I mean "Testing") with disasters and crappy people.

7. I wouldn't mind an anime convention / comic convention if I could avoid the psychotics who get all dressed up and start speaking moon-speak (Japanese). I can speak some Japanese, but not at a good enough level to carry out a decent conversation. I'd probably rather do a game convention like E3 or whatever so I can tryout the upcoming games and get to see some of the people behind the work.

8. I can't pick just one. Cheeseburgers, tacos, and CHOCOLATE are all ORESOME! As for drink, orange kool-aid, Pepsi, or plain ol' Milk will do just fine.

Look, Escapist community, we've been together for over a year now, and I think it's getting time for us to get to know each other better. I know, it's all kind of sudden, but I've been thinking about it a while. You're just so nice, I don't want anything to mess up, y'know? It's been fun, but I do think we need to start to get to know one another better. I mean, for as well as I know you, we might as well be strangers. So, tell me a bit about yourself.
Like you are actually going to read all of these replies....

To prove my point i will just make up any old crap.

I was born under the sea,but moved to the surface world after being banished for clam dealing.

I was taken in by a scare crow,he taught me to read and write and got me a job at the bank.I didn't speak much Italian which was handy as in Britain most people spoke English.I worked in the bank for two years polishing the money but was fired when i uncovered the scandal that cash machines aren't computerized...they are run by underpaid, over worked dwarfs!! This blatant abuse of human rights disgusted me so i started a campaign and within a year snowmen gained the rite to vote. By that time the bank realized that putting dwarfs inside cash machines was a big mistake.....they now use abandoned orphans as who is going to care...

Anyhow after that i couldn't find another job, i looked literally everywhere!! even down the back of the sofa. Eventually i sold my legs and got enough money to buy the shoes i'd always wanted but they didn't have them in my size so i brought a boat and flew to the moon, only to find i just didn't get on with the natives. I couldn't speak clanger anyway so i sailed back home and returned to watering can which i have lived in ever since....

Oh, but Mr. NewClassic, I´m not sure if I´m ready for this kind of commitment. Maybe we should wait a little bit longer and see how it goes. I mean, I don´t want to rush these things...Oh, don´t get me wrong; It´s not you, it´s totally me. Things have been great and all, but I´m just afraid we´re making a mistake.

Anyway, here´s your clipboard:
1. Male, 24 years, 6`3"/154lb, bluish-green eyes, light shoulder-length hair.
I`m a fourth-year student of ethnology and in my spare time I play games, write short stories, walk about or visit the Escapist forums. By temperament I`m melancholic/phlegmatic, and I tend to prefer imagination over cold logic. And I`m very bad at talking about myself.

2. There are many thing I enjoy in The Escapist: Great videos (LRR, ENN, ZP, EttM, Unskippable), occasionally interesting articles/reviews, Alt+Escape, nice forums with people and stuff, lovely staff, etc...Hi, RAM!

3. I find this question confusing. I can`t describe my life in music.

4. Right

5. I just took a shower, so I feel clean and relaxed, and perhaps slightly tired.
So nice of you to ask, by the way.

6. When it comes to religious beliefs, I`m tolerant but disinterested. Haven`t really given much thought to my personal beliefs. Moving on...

7. I have already attended few anime/sci-fi conventions, so I think this time a roleplaying or perhaps even a board gaming convention could be in order. I like both activities.

8. I eat pretty much anything I`m given, but I think I`ll go with pasta. Beer is a good drink of choice, or simply water.

We can still be friends, right?

1. Tell me a bit about yourself. No more than a paragraph. Talk about whatever you think is relevant, be it interests, or height, favorite Mass Effect manufacturer, whatever.

15 year old guitarist/violinist/aspiring singer/metal-head. Favorite game is Final Fantasy VII. Have a slight case of OCD, am only 5'0 tall, and I have dreadlocks and wear platform boots. So, yay for being weird. (Oh, and I'm white as snow)

2. What's your favorite part of the Escapist? Forums, videos, contests, advertisements, articles? Is there anything you'd like to do, but you're too afraid/unsure of how to try?

Forums and videos. Although I'm more here for the videos lately, as it seems that when you've been here for a while, fresh discussion topics are getting low.[

3. If you could describe your life in music, how would you do it and why?

Can't, life's too complex for just one song. But if I had to choose, "Tender Surrender" by Steve Vai. Because it has no song. Just untainted mysterious tunes. No answers, but no questions.

4. Are you right or left-handed?

Left.

5. How are you feeling right now? (Don't knock it, it's a really important question. Feel free to go on at length.)

Been feeling a bit depressed lately, life's been confusing (partly thanks to my OCD), but I'm just trying to survive every day, hoping that the next one will have some sort of light.

6. Do you have a religious belief, and without going into too much argumentative detail, is it important to you?

Deist. It's not that important to me, but I know that my belief in a higher being has rescued my life before.

7. If you could go to a convention for any form of fandom, what fandom would it be. Do you have a specific convention in mind when you answer this question?

Not anyone in particular, I take whatever seems like fun, whichever one appeals to my interests.

8. Finally, what's your favorite food item? Any particular drink or wine you like to go with it?

Entrecôte. It's the best meat on Earth.
