1. Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character? If so, who?
Yes. Lauralanthalasia. What in the heck she saw in wuss-boy Tanis Half-Elven I'll NEVER know.
2. What is one thing about yourself you're the most proud of?
It took 14 years, but I got my Bachelor's Degree (in English).
3. Roses or orchids?
Drat. I want to say almost any other flower. Umm....roses.
4. What sustains you, keeps you going every day?
All the stuff I have yet to experience.
5. How did you get to be so awesome?
It wasn't easy. I'm crammed a LOT of life experience in the last 37 years.
6. Where were you ten years ago, and what do you know now that you wish you knew back then?
10 years ago today I was unemployed, spending what little money I had coming in too frivolously, and making poor relationship choices. I'm not sure I'd change anything now, because without some of those choices (esp. the ones I look back upon with the most disdain now), I would NEVER have met my current wife.
7. If the human race vanished tomorrow, leaving only you and one other person to keep you company, who would you want that person to be?
My wife, yeah, it's cliché, but I feel asking for anyone else would be a betrayal.
8. Who is one person who died before you were born that you'd most like to speak with?
John Wayne.
9. When your life comes to an end, how do you want to be remembered/what do you want to be remembered for?
I want to be remembered as a guy who wrote some books some people liked.
10. Ga! These questions have taken a turn for the depressing! Quick, what is your favorite lolcat!? (Bonus cookies for posting a pic.)
I don't have one (there are so many funny ones), and I fear to go looking for an example because I don't want to spend the rest of my afternoon looking at those adorable, funny cats.
11. What super-power would you want to use to stop Godzilla if he was attacking where you live?
Super-strength to punch him into the moon!
12. Beards or babies?
Beards. I don't like babies.
13. Have you ever made up a word? If so, what is that word and what is its definition?
Yes, I'm sure I have. It was a good one, too. Unfortunately, I cannot for the life of me remember what it is.
14. Define the following word: whiloplenulent?
*eyes narrow* I don't think that's a real word. Can you use it in a sentence? :p
15. What's an old-fashioned song or short schmaltzy bit of poetry that's stuck in your head?
Oooooooo-KLAhoma where the wind goes blowing through the plains.
16. Favorite mythological monster?
Pegasus. I like to ride horses. I love to fly. Add them together and I WANT ONE!
17. Enough of this! I am your arch-nemesis! Where will we fight our final, climactic battle?
On the edge of a live volcano!
18. In #17, above, did you defeat me? If so, how?
Of course, I did. I used my super-strength to punch you into the boiling lake of liquid-hot MAG-ma!
19. Do you prefer the silly questions or the serious ones?
The silly ones are fun, but the serious ones make me feel like someone is interested in what I have to say.
20. Why did you decide to submit yourself to these torturous, probing questions?
Well, they weren't too torturous or probing (yet). Mostly, I just like talking about myself.
Thank you Jedisoth. You can finish the last question if you'd like. It was a pleasure getting to know you. And my condolences for your wife.
Up next, we have Derjuin! A... robot pixie thing. I think.

The official nomenclature is "troll". ::::) Alternatively, Alternian.
Long story short, when my left arm and eye were destroyed by a vengeful friend who couldn't kill me herself, the arm was replaced by a ro8ot arm. At that point I was part ro8ot, I guess. But then later a real ro8ot 8eat me pretty 8rutally, and a wimpy-ass "friend" took me to a special 8ed that I died in - though I can't tell if he actually finished me off or if I just 8led to death -after which I turned into a faerie god. Turning into a faerie god g8ve me my arm and eye 8ack, so I'm no longer ro8otic. :::;) Unfortun8ly, in these tiny 120x120 pictures, it's awfully hard to actually show you my eye.

California, Hawaii, MURRLIND, Michigan, Florida, and Delaware. My favorite was Hawaii, because my family was away from the hubbub of the tourist trap that is the main island. California is my second favorite. I would love to visit Canada, though. Maybe get a place up there...

Yes, and while you don't need to look far to find that character, you may or may not immediately spot him or her >.>
2. What is one thing about yourself you're the most proud of?
uhm...pride is something that is tough for me to have. I've been put down a lot for most of my life, by crappy schoolkids and family alike. But I like what comes out of my shenanigans with Inkscape. So I guess I'm proud of my art?
3. Roses or orchids?
Orchids. Roses are so cliché.
4. What sustains you, keeps you going every day?
Knowing that one day, I won't have to deal with my father anymore. Is that bad?
5. How did you get to be so awesome?
8y 8eing myself and not letting others determine how I should act.
6. Where were you ten years ago, and what do you know now that you wish you knew back then?
I was in the middle of middle school, I believe. There are a great many things I wish I knew back then - some are private, but some I will share. I wish I knew to keep going with my art, to ignore the h8ers 'cause they're just gonna keep right on h8ing anyway, and not to go into culinary. Photography would have been a much more awesome choice.
7. If the human race vanished tomorrow, leaving only you and one other person to keep you company, who would you want that person to be?
Gah! Just one? Are you setting me up???????? Who are you in cahoots with? CAHOOTS I SAY. CAHOOOOOOOOTS!!!!!!!!
Honestly, I would be torn between Cycoris and Jacklu.
8. Who is one person who died before you were born that you'd most like to speak with?
I have no idea...I don't really have any deceased idols.
9. When your life comes to an end, how do you want to be remembered/what do you want to be remembered for?
"That awesome girl that did all those awesome things", at least to my friends.
10. Ga! These questions have taken a turn for the depressing! Quick, what is your favorite lolcat!? (Bonus cookies for posting a pic.)
11. What super-power would you want to use to stop Godzilla if he was attacking where you live?
I would steal all his luck, so he would fall into the ocean and drown.I probably wouldn't stop him. Luck-stealing.
12. Beards or babies? So hard to choose ._. beards can be nice, as can babies. Beards don't poop all over themselves, but they also can't eventually talk or have personalities or giggle madly. Babies.
13. Have you ever made up a word? If so, what is that word and what is its definition? SO MANY WORDS.
Propagannihilator - the highest rank of the Authoritarians, a band of writer-torturers.
Uhm, a lot of the others escape me at the moment. Let's just say I abuse the crap out of "poetic license"
14. Define the following word: whiloplenulent?
Full of plennous whilos.
15. What's an old-fashioned song or short schmaltzy bit of poetry that's stuck in your head?
It's alright. I need to find a new job, since my current one restricted me to 6.5 hours per week. Father is either drug-addled or alzheimers-addled, or just old. Things are pretty stressful whenever interaction with him is required.
What is your alignment? Neutral Good, I think. I adhere to laws when they benefit people, as they are contracts between the state and its people, but corrupt contracts made without the consent of the people should be changed.
Or, at least I like to think that. I'm not really a go-getter in terms of making change happen.
What is your Magic: The Gathering color? Blue. No, green! Somewhere between them, I guess.
What is the meaning of life? To have fun and experience new things.
What are your thoughts on:
Love? - It is a wonderful thing, but sometimes I wonder if it isn't one of those emotions you can pressure yourself (or others can pressure you into) believing it exists where it doesn't. My reason for wondering rests not with my own relationships, but with my parents.
Friendship? - It is the best emotion ever. Though it can also be bizarre and strange.
Freedom? - It's pretty nice.
What is the color of your aura? Pink, oddly.
What does your essence taste like? I think it was somewhere between capsaicin and dark chocolate. Spicy and bitter.
What’s your elemental affinity? Water.
Who would you ask to the next Playground Prom, if we had one? Jacklu and Cycoris
Are you part of any other online communities? I used to be a member of an Ancient Domains of Mystery board, though I didn't post that often.
What fictional character do you most identify with? Vriska Serket. If we're talking how often I identify with her, yes >.> If we're talking similarities, I don't know if there is one to identify with.
Socks: Yes or no? Long ones in winter, and usually none in summer. The other times of year, it's a toss-up.
What’s your pony name? Um um uhhh. I'm not sure. I don't really watch the new MLP :V then again I don't really watch anything on TV, except the Weather Channel.
Do you know any Playgrounders in real life? None from around where I live (MURRLIND) but I did meet a few up at Gencon last year
What is the highest compliment you have ever received? Being told I was a wonderful person who was awesome at art
What is the highest compliment you can imagine receiving? Uhm...a compliment of a few echelons above the above one. I'm not really sure!
What do you want to be when you grow up? A better artist
What’s your favorite greeting? Well 'ello guv'na! Said with as much enthusiasm as possible. Reserved mostly for friends though
Yes, a fine block of aged extra sharp white cheddar.
Will you go quietly when they come for you?
No way! I'll fight to the end.
What is your anti-zombie weapon of choice?
Combat shotgun. If that isn't available, fireman's axe.
Are you running to something, or from something?
Right now, probably from. My parents, particularly my father, are a bit controlling and may or may not be out of his/their mind(s), have trust issues and play favorites with both of my sisters.
What's the magic word?
Puh-puh-puh-please!
If you're in Maryland, as you say, why aren't you planning to attend the Trogland meetup?
I had no idea the Trogland meetup was in Maryland Unless it's near the EESUN SHOAH O MURRLIND, though, I probably won't be able to go to it (medical issues have made getting my license an extremely slow and annoying process).
Andre's:
Your art could be considered creepy. Why?
Spoiler
You mean like this? This here is the picture the above insane clown-like alien murderer guy, seen here is used in (though it's all just fan art, since he's actually a character from someone else's story).
For this and most pieces that people have considered "creepy", I'm using a source material that can be rather creepy/scary/bat **** horrifying.
If it's more the dimensions or something, I probably messed up the OotS ratio at some point, and forgot to use oots source material.
Have you ever been told that before? More than once?
Only for a few pictures. Otherwise I've been told it looks "awesome"
It's actually in Johnson City, TN. There are a number of people from the DC area attending (as I understand it, they have a shorter drive than I do). It's less than three weeks away at this point, though, so...
Oh, right. I'm supposed to ask questions if I post...
How would you respond if the devil were to ask you to dance in the pale moonlight?
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck got cut in half with a chainsaw?
What has four legs and one arm?
What should you do if some jerk says "Bite me"?

Ah, yeah, I don't really have enough money to attend Saving up for Gencon, etc.
How would you respond if the devil were to ask you to dance in the pale moonlight?
Uh, I'd probably refuse, unless I had a really really good reason not to.
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck got cut in half with a chainsaw?
None, bifurcated woodchucks can't chuck wood
What has four legs and one arm?
The average inhabitant of the Far Plane
What should you do if some jerk says "Bite me"?
Bite them - show 'em those fangs aren't just for being fussy!

But I will reveal it here: Dirge-ooh-win. Or Dirge-win. It originally wasn't supposed to be pronounced, really, as it was a hilarious typo on a paper sent by a college congratulating me on having good enough grades to get a scholarship with them (I decided not to go with them).
It's raining outside. Singing in the Rain or Umbrella? *chuckle*
Um8rella! I h8 rain.
Favourite OotS character?
Hm. This one is tough, but I think Redcloak just barely clears the rest. Mostly for the occasional genre-savvy sacrasm he displays, like when interrogating O-chul on the roof of the Azure castle.
What shall I say to thee, rakkoon, thou cruel,
Ingrateful, savage and inhuman creature,
That knewst the very bottom of my soul,
That almost mightst have coined me into gold
Wouldst thou have practiced on me for thy use?
Wor-Wic Community College; it wasn't a bad college, I guess, but it didn't really have what I was looking for, degree-wise, and lots of stuff going down at home kinda forced me to graduate with a degree I didn't want.
Thank you Derjuin. Your robot pixie god still frightens me, even if now I know where it came from.
Up next, we have Kyuubi! Known for link avatars, and being active in the pony community. Give him a warm welcome.

Quote:
How does your ITP persona relate to you in real life?
It's more like what I'd like to be in real life, but can't for several reasons, the least of which is that it'd alienate most of my family. Many of them are intolerant of being transsexual, and would make fun of me for being an 18 year old "Guy" who likes My Little Pony, Friendship is magic.
