You're sure I can swim in these shoes? They look a little, I don't know, concrete-y....

Oh wait, I just remembered: I can't swim!
HELP!

People don't do that type of thing with FISH.

Now let's take a dip in that Trollheated pool.

Get on the couch, big boy!

Just what I need after a hard day...

Trollheart · 02-12-2021, 06:36 PM

Guess it's up to me then...

1. What film do you wish they had/hadn't made a sequel to, and why?

2. If you could have any dinosaur as a pet, which would it be and why?

3. Have you ever tried taking up some hobby you found you were terrible at, and if so, what was it? If not, is there anything you would like to take up but don't think you'd be good at?

4. Who is the most vulnerable person you know, physically, emotionally or otherwise? Note: you're free to exercise any discretion/privacy you want on this question, or indeed skip it entirely. No triggering intended.

5. What has been the worst thing about the pandemic for you?

6. If there's a power cut, what do you do to pass the time?

1. What film do you wish they had/hadn't made a sequel to, and why?

Dredd. Need more Judge Dredd.

2. If you could have any dinosaur as a pet, which would it and why?

If it's gonna be a pet then it has to be rideable. Wouldn't want to try to train a T-Rex to let me ride it tbh. One of the sauropods (big, long necked dinos) would be amazing but not many places it would fit unless I moved way out into the boonies. Maybe a Parasaurolophus. Big enough to be awesome to ride but it'll still fit on a road.

3. Have you ever tried taking up some hobby you found you were terrible at, and if so, what was it? If not, is there anything you would like to take up but don't think you'd be good at?

Guitar. I'm sure I could have gotten better at it but I have short, stubby fingers that struggle to reach chords.

4. Who is the most vulnerable person you know, physically, emotionally or otherwise? Note: you're free to exercise any discretion/privacy you want on this question, or indeed skip it entirely. No triggering intended.

Me.

5. What has been the worst thing about the pandemic for you?

Realizing with a horrified lack of surprise just how willing and shameless my government is in throwing its citizens into the furnace of capitalism.

6. If there's a power cut, what do you do to pass the time?

Read.

1. What film do you wish they had/hadn't made a sequel to, and why?

Heavy Metal. The sequel sucked.

2. If you could have any dinosaur as a pet, which would it *be and why?

Probably a centipede.

3. Have you ever tried taking up some hobby you found you were terrible at, and if so, what was it? If not, is there anything you would like to take up but don't think you'd be good at?

I'd love to take up gymnastics, but I don't think my body would cooperate at this point. Plus, theres all those chances of breaking my nuts on a beam or something.

4. Who is the most vulnerable person you know, physically, emotionally or otherwise? Note: you're free to exercise any discretion/privacy you want on this question, or indeed skip it entirely. No triggering intended.

Batlord and OH. They seem to really need the everyday affirmations.

5. What has been the worst thing about the pandemic for you?

Not being able to breathe.

6. If there's a power cut, what do you do to pass the time?

Play mah Uke.

1. Go to your bookshelves (or wherever you keep books), close your eyes and randomly grab a book. Open to page 30 and quote the first full sentence on the page.

"The term 'interior design' sums up the organizational aspect of the domestic environment, but it does not cover the entire system of the modern living space, which is based on a counterpoint between DESIGN and ATMOSPHERE."

2. You can keep only 3 books for the rest of your life. Which would they be?

The Brothers Karamazov, Leaves of Grass, and Ficciones.

3. What is your ethnic background?

British, Lithuanian, French, Danish

4. Describe one of the most embarrassing moments in your life.

Being corrected by Ty Segall on how to properly pronounce his name.

5. What is your ultimate comfort food?

Anything cheesy.

6. What is the last film you watched in the theater?

Not sure tbh, I think it was Hereditary.

1. What film do you wish they had/hadn't made a sequel to, and why?

When it comes to bad sequels I can just pretend that they don't exist.

I could see an In Bruges prequel being pretty great as long as McDonagh is still involved.

2. If you could have any dinosaur as a pet, which would it and why?

A microraptor because I don't wanna deal with all the **** from the cooler dinosaurs that are hundreds to thousands of pounds.

3. Have you ever tried taking up some hobby you found you were terrible at, and if so, what was it? If not, is there anything you would like to take up but don't think you'd be good at?

Nah I'm good at everything. It's pretty annoying tbh.

4. Who is the most vulnerable person you know, physically, emotionally or otherwise? Note: you're free to exercise any discretion/privacy you want on this question, or indeed skip it entirely. No triggering intended.

A family member of mine is in the middle stages of Alzheimer's after years of being mostly immobilized from a stroke.

5. What has been the worst thing about the pandemic for you?

A friend died.

6. If there's a power cut, what do you do to pass the time?

Move items from the freezer to the fridge so that my food doesn't spoil. After that, go for a walk, play some music, write/read if there's enough light, sleep if it's too dark.
