Favorite Steely Dan album? ;) Royal Scam or Countdown to Ecstasy. With Pretzel Logic and Aja as close seconds. Tell me about your crush if you have one.
Got a date with my RL crush tomorrow. Favorite playgrounders?
Hmmmm... this is by no means an all-inclusive list, but...
Gwyn, Raist, Happy, you (Em), Roguey, GW, Gael, Mayhem, Ruki, Vaynor, LT, Bhu... et cetera. What's your favorite thing about living in California?
I can head up the road for five minutes and be in some Lord of the Rings-esque, dramatic fantasy wilderness, or head south for fifteen minutes and end up in San Fransisco. I love the people, the variety, the... I guess momentum is the right word for it.
How’s life at the moment?
Awesome. Favorite color?
Purple! Favorite fruit?
Blueberries Favorite ice cream?
Coffee What is your theme song?
Man, I can't pick one... What is your alignment?
TN, CN, depends on how you define 'em... What is your Magic: The Gathering color?
My favorite deck is blue/black. What is the meaning of life?
Party hard. What are your thoughts on:
Love?
Oh boy. Love is great, love is dangerous, love is misleading, love is fun, love is confusing... It's kinda just a facet of the universe; I wouldn't feel comfortable forming an opinion on it any more than I would forming an opinion about the sky. Friendship?
Not sure how friendship can be anything but good... Freedom?
Or, for that matter, freedom.
What is the color of your aura?
Uh... dunno? What does your essence taste like?
Lemons. What’s your elemental affinity?
Of the four classical ones? Probably fire. Who would you ask to the next Playground Prom, if we had one?
Hmmm... Em or Rogue. Are you part of any other online communities?
Several. Bookface, ILoveFuzz, couple other forums. What fictional character do you most identify with?
At the risk of sounding cliche: Scott Pilgrim. Socks: Yes or no?
Always. What’s your cutie mark and its significance?
Three MIDI ports. I say this because I'm getting three MIDI ports tattooed on the bottom of my arm once I can legally do so. Represents my, er, obsessive dedication to audio gear. Do you know any Playgrounders in real life?
I met a couple, but I wouldn't presume to say I know 'em... What is the highest compliment you have ever received?
That's hard... I've gotten some high praise for my bass playing, which felt great. What is the highest compliment you can imagine receiving?
That's harder. I haven't a clue. What do you want to be when you grow up?
Music engineer/producer. Pro musician if that's the way things turn out, but I'm not banking on it. What’s your favorite greeting?
In real life, some kind of grunt. On the phone, "yyyyyyyyelow?" and on the internet, "hiya". Your favorite way of saying goodbye?
I don't like saying goodbye. If I must, it'll be something like "stay classy" or "peace out" or something vaguely ironic like that. What’s your favorite smilie?
Asthix

Do you have a favorite author? If so, whom?
Douglas Adams. What was the last work of fiction you read?
Good Omens. What is the most ridiculous name for a musical genre?
Pornogrind. What music genre has the most ridiculous music?
Acoustic Black Metal. Most ridiculous song off the top of your head? This song is probably used by the CIA to torture captives. What is the greatest worstest thing about California?
Can't get a bar-tending license until you're 21.
At this moment I'm listening to And the Battle Begun by Rx Bandits. Which I'll bet you've never heard before, so that's two birds with one stone right thar.

Cuddly but relatively independent. What is the square root of Pi?
~1.772454 What's your favorite OOTS strip?
Hmm... I honestly have no idea. There have been several that have made me laugh quite a lot, but I can't remember which ones. What's your favorite Erfworld strip?
Haven't read Erfworld. How does your ITP persona relate to you in real life?
Pretty much the same, except I'm much more shy in real life. Sadistic choice time! You must choose to save either the life of your most loved one or the lives of a large group of strangers. Which do you choose?
Hmm.. Probably my most loved one, although I'd feel incredibly guilty. What is your favorite word?
At the moment, it would have to be "pleonasm". What is your least favorite word?
"Leisure", when pronounced "lee-shur". Otherwise what comes to mind is "Labradoodle". What makes you enthusiastic?

gw's Questions of Questionable Intent
Spoiler
1. Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character? If so, who?
Hmm.. I'm sure I have, but none come to mind.
2. What is one thing about yourself you're the most proud of?
My perseverance.
3. Roses or orchids?
Orchids. I have never found roses to be particularly interesting.
4. What sustains you, keeps you going every day?
The desire to be happy.
5. How did you get to be so awesome?
I'm flattered, but I don't know that I'm that awesome.
6. Where were you ten years ago, and what do you know now that you wish you knew back then?
Ten years ago, not counting all the additional information I have now, I was in a pretty similar place, except I think I felt more grown up ten years ago. I would probably want to impart knowledge of the existence of genderqueer and transgendered people to myself.
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?
I don't know. Maybe someone with multiple personalities. It would probably get very boring being around one person for the rest of my life.
8. Who is one person who died before you were born that you'd most like to speak with? If I could go for any dead person, I would go for Alexander McQueen, but he didn't die before I was born.. So probably Archimedes.
9. When your life comes to an end, how do you want to be remembered/what do you want to be remembered for?
Well, if I faked my own death, I would be known as a good and kind person who hopefully made some significant contribution to art, science, or mathematics, but it wouldn't particularly matter to me if I actually died. That being said, towards the end of my life, when I'm not dead yet, I would like to have some of the aforementioned qualities.
10. Ga! These questions have taken a turn for the depressing! Quick, what is your favorite lolcat!? (Bonus cookies for posting a pic.)
Spoiler
11. What super-power would you want to use to stop Godzilla if he was attacking where you live?
Time manipulation would be fun.
12. Beards or babies?
Preferably neither.
13. Have you ever made up a word? If so, what is that word and what is its definition?
I'm sure I've made up several, but I don't remember them.
14. Define the following word: whiloplenulent?
Fantastical and humorous.
15. What's an old-fashioned song or short schmaltzy bit of poetry that's stuck in your head?
Nothing at the moment.
16. Favorite mythological monster?
I've always had a fondness for the sphinx.
17. Enough of this! I am your arch-nemesis! Where will we fight our final, climactic battle? Here.
18. In #17, above, did you defeat me? If so, how?
Probably not. That pony is scary!
19. Do you prefer the silly questions or the serious ones?
A nice mix of both.
20. Why did you decide to submit yourself to these torturous, probing questions?
For fun!
That is spectacular! I heartily approve, as does the cave-lurking creature that shares my brain.

gw's Questions of Duplicitous Intent
Spoiler
1. Do you hold grudges? If so, for how long?
Unfortunately yes, although I try not to. They can last from several weeks to a couple years, depending on how bad the offense was.
2. What's your favorite band/musician?
I have a fondness for Lady Gaga, but mostly because of her aesthetic. In general I like slightly older music, such as Madonna or Queen.
3. Do you like juice? If so, what is your favorite kind of juice. If not, what would you rather drink?
I quite like juice. I enjoy grapefruit juice, although I tend to avoid it when I haven't bought it myself since there are some pretty nasty grapefruit juices out there. When I was younger I used to make juice out of oranges and limes, which was also pretty good. Basically, I like citrus juices.
4. Which do you prefer, wool or cotton?
Cotton.
5. Have you ever owned a slinky?
Yes! Three of them, one was shiny and black, one was metal, and the other was rainbow coloured.
6. If you could take on the mantle of an established comic-book character, which one would you choose? That is, if you could become Batman, Superman, Mysterio, Magneto, Nite Owl, etc., which would you want to become?
Mystique or another shapeshifter capable of taking humanoid forms, or maybe Sage.
7. Which is your favorite meal of the day?
Dinner. I actually eat dinner foods for breakfast and lunch a lot too.
8. Do you eat a lot of snacks?
A fair amount. I enjoy munching on nori or eating a piece of fruit.
9. What is your favorite restaurant?
My latest favorite is an Indonesian restaurant that is sadly (for me) located in Amsterdam. Closer by there's an Indian restaurant which makes delicious food, and a tea house which I adore, but I'm not sure that that counts, since it primarily serves tea.
10. Who was the most recent person you talked to in person?
My piano teacher.
11. What was the last thing you said to that person?
"Thanks! See you next week!" or something like that.
12. Which of the following two words do you think makes a sentence creepier when added to the end: 'ladies' or 'hard'?
In general, I would go with "ladies". But in some cases "hard" is a lot creepier.
13. What do you think of when you read the word 'fishmember?'
Well at first I thought of the sexual organs of a male fish, but almost immediately following I thought of a dismembered fish.
14. Do you like haiku?
Sometimes I like them
But when done by 3rd Graders
Most are not that good.
15. If you had a choice between zombies or aliens destroying humanity, which would you choose?
Aliens. It would at least be more interesting to see extraterrestrial life before we all die. Unless they just zap the earth into oblivion, in which case I'd still choose aliens because it'd be quick.
16. Sufficiently advanced aliens visit earth and say they'll change just one thing about you. It can be anything at all. What would you choose?
I would like to have smaller feet.
17. Do you think aliens from another planet ever actually visit Earth?
I don't really know enough about the subject to have a valid grasp of whether or not that's likely to happen.
18. Do you prefer to control a project from beginning to end, always repair the same flaw in someone else's project, choose to leave well enough alone, or some other mode of creation I haven't figured out here?
I would like to have complete control over a project, unless I'm incapable of managing the project, in which case I'll help out with what I can or leave well enough alone.
19. You could build your dream house within five miles of your current home. What goes into it?
An observatory, a large library, several rooms to store some of my older art pieces, an outdoor swimming pool as well as an indoor one, a large backyard with lots of trees nearby to provide some amount of privacy, and of course the essentials (or what I consider the essentials) of every home (bedroom(s), kitchen, bathroom(s), etc.)
20. I give you a seed; you water it with your favorite bit of poetry. What sprouts from it?
A Gingko tree with bright orange-yellow leaves.
Do you have a favorite author? If so, whom?
I don't know that I have a favorite. To be honest, I usually have only read a couple books from any given author.
What was the last work of fiction you read?
I just finished reading A Wizard Of Earthsea for the second time.
How is it spelled, Brony or Bronie?
I prefer Bronie.
What is your favorite thing about the playground?
The large variety of interesting people who somehow are all quite cordial and civil.
I'm sure, but the razor sharp teeth are a little off putting.
Well, somepony has to defend itself from the likes of manticores and hydras somehow while gathering truffles (the mushrooms, not the chocolates) in the Everfree forest. Needless to say, he's spent the last several years building up an immunity to poison joke (though, at this point, the results of his previous exposures are pretty much irreversible). Also, as for his deranged expression, spacing off and not really looking at anything in particular is quite helpful when there's wild cockatrice around. It certainly has nothing to do with spending the majority of his days snorting mushrooms...
What originally brought you to GitP?
What is your country of origin?
What is your quest?
Other than MLP, what other fandom(s) do you enjoy/participate in?
What's your take on Slenderman?

Ingrateful, savage and inhuman creature,

Wouldst thou have practiced on me for thy use?
What originally brought you to GitP?
The comic, although I mostly stay for the forums.
What is your country of origin?
The United States.
What is your quest?
To create interesting looking things.
Other than MLP, what other fandom(s) do you enjoy/participate in?
Hmm... I was a part of the Harry Potter fandom, and I suppose I am now a part of the Axis Powers Hetalia fandom. (thanks to golentan I think?)
What's your take on Slenderman?
Slenderman scared me more before I saw MarbleHornets for some reason. Although I still get a little freaked out about it. I'm one of those weird people who hates being frightened, but reads a lot of horror for some reason (although I don't so much anymore).
Who is your favorite artist and/or what is your favorite artistic movement/style (e.g., impressionism, futurism, pop art, etc.)?
I would probably have to go with fauvism.
Do you prefer one of facebook, google+, myspace, etc., or do you shun social networking sites such as these?
I used to shun them, but I caved in and recently got a facebook. However, I have no particular attachment to facebook, and would move to wherever most of the people I want to stay in contact with move to.

Depends on the socks. Usually no.
What’s your cutie mark and its significance?
Probably a sewing needle and thread. Fiber arts is my thing.

Lots, currently I'm slightly over 700.
Do you have a favorite established fantasy setting? If so, what is it?
I rather like the setting in Howl's Moving Castle.
