Dude, I don't think I've ever done one of these here. Prepare to learn about me, ye unwashed masses!
![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) snacky asked me five questions:
1) What is your favorite online game and why?
For the longest time it was Boggle at games.com, because I like word games and I like competing against other people, and anything more complicated and/or action-packed just gives me undue stress. Minimal time investment, and the illusion of improving my mental faculties while playing!
And then the Boggle went away and I was sad, and now I play Bejeweled, which is a) a gigantic time-suck and b) far less educational. Unless I'm ever called upon to shift brightly-colored objects into pleasing patterns. I can only hope that one day the fate of the world will depend on it.
2) How long have you been in fandom? Has it taught you any important life lessons?
Since 1997. Which is, holy fuck, ten years now, HELP. My dad got a new computer with a 28.8k modem (!!!!) about the same time I started watching Buffy, and it was all downhill from there.
Important life lessons? The internet is for porn Most things just aren't worth the energy. The drama, the arguments, the wank, none of it. I did my time as a flame-happy 14-year-old, and it was exhausting. Much better to point and laugh from the sidelines, then go have a nice cup of tea.
Also, it's taught me I have an obsessive personality and absolutely no willpower, but that's less empowering.
3) As a fandom_wank mod, do you abuse your power in any way (like, Apo screens macros, I screen "first comment" comments, that kind of thing)? Would you like to? ;-)
I don't! I'd feel too guilty, I think. Maybe I should work on that. First on my hitlist is everyone who posts "DUDE I CAN'T ACCESS THE COMMENT PAGES! JF IS BUSY! WHAT UP?" Refresh, you fuckers, it's not that hard.
4) What's the one thing you own that works so well that you would recommend everyone purchase it?
Eep. That's hard. Most of my toys break. It's just tough love, I swear.
Well, my favorite toy is a little device thingy that hooks up my laptop to the TV, so I can watch video files on the big(ger) screen and also record them to VHS if I so desire. For which I am soundly mocked, as I am, apparently, the only person in the history of EVER who downloads watchable goodies and then commits them to VHS tapes. I embrace my obsolescence!
5) Do you like swimming in oceans, lakes or pools?
Oceans are the best. I love swimming in general, but water's kinda boring when it just sits there. At the ocean, the water fights back. Pools are second; lakes just make me feel dirty. And not in a fun way.
If anyone comments, I may ask you questions in return. Then again, I may forget all about it. I make no promises (just helpful suggestions). |
