    What I pride is kind of tough, I try not to be prideful. I guess I take pride in my continued efforts to be a better person than I once was, with regard to treating others how I'd like to be treated in particular.

    I think greediness is an undesirable trait that leads to selfishness and stems from envy, and can also further increase envy. I think it's something to try and keep in check at all times.

    As for the third one, I suppose the overall waste. By definition being gluttonous is eating more than you need, more than your share. There are finite resources for food in this world; many of us are fortunate enough to live in places where food access is not a major problem so we can be a glutton if we choose, but there are many more who do not, and even within places of abundance there are those who still go without. It's significant as a sin as it's a form of greed, basically, is what I think. If every fifth person with gluttonous eating habits instead donated the extra food they're eating solely for pleasure to a food bank, many could benefit and to no real loss to the donator. There's also of course the idea of "your body is a temple" and over-eating is doing it harm, but I don't think that's as significant towards its status as a sin as the greed and waste aspects.

    You have similar taste to my friend Grand Rizer... why the hell are you two so similar?

    Don't know, just how it all works out. There's lots of fans of similar non-Pokémon stuff here, guess it figures sooner or later that there will be two who like some Gundam/mecha.

    Drives me mentally? Not really sure if it's just one thing. My faith and spiritual beliefs drive my thoughts to some degree (not always to the degree I would like) and sometimes it's just little bits of things that catch my attention and inspire me to do something. Some days I feel like I have no mental drive at all.

    I really can't think of anything I derive significant pride from, sorry. I try not to be prideful. I take some pride in my attempts to be a generous, good person but it isn't significant pride.

    They should at certain times in real life, because I have the terrible habit of smoking things which are not good for asthmatic people to be around. I would hope they wouldn't avoid me otherwise though..I could really use some more friends.

    I really don't know how to answer the first one because to be honest I don't have any good friends and haven't for years..for better or worse, deserved or not, my existence is a lonely one and I'm not good at staying interesting enough to be chosen as more than some random acquaintance with anybody I meet in real life, and maybe I've lost the ability to actually bond with others the way normal people can. But to try I'd probably give one the power of flight since I've noticed that's what most people want up there with invisibility.

    I think 20 questions is an okay concept for a simple game, but I don't recall ever playing it.

    Interest in mech stuff started when I was very young and stumbled across Gundam Wing playing on TV very early in the morning. It was like nothing I've ever seen before, way more detailed than all other animation I've seen and it really took me in. I wouldn't say I'm totally an afficionado, I'm not an expert on it and I don't build models or anything but it's always been the most appealing anime genre to me and it's well, something to sort of have an identity about. I fell out of it for a little while in the past but in recent years got back into it mostly thanks to my all time favorite series Turn A Gundam, the story there really speaks to me, especially the themes of mistaken/masked identity and the idea of a (mostly) forgotten Black History (which a lot of things, communities, civilizations do have), and the way things seem to cycle back around and become rediscovered very much in line with "nothing new under the sun".

    It's a nice glow color indeed, I quite like it.


    I've never tried it, but I suspect I wouldn't like it as much because I am really not a fan of spicy things. Spicy just isn't my kind of flavor.

    If spicy isn't your kind of flavour, what would you say is?

    Do you own felt tip pens?

    What is your dream vehicle?

    Subdued salty or cheesy would be my flavor.

    I own a few that could be considered felt tip pens loosely, but I don't own any ones made specifically for drawing...at least I think so. I got this art kit with three shelves of things for my birthday last year and haven't fully explored it yet.

    Clearly the only way I can answer about a dream vehicle would be a humanoid shaped machine capable of extremely high speeds and functional in the sky, in space and under water. Basically a Mobile Suit ;*)

    Absolutely correct. It's my favorite anime series ever and I recommend it to any anime fan. It's a self contained story of 50 episodes and would break some likely conventions of mecha stuff by those who do not watch mecha, it's not merely awesome robot machine laser weapons (like some Gundam series, but they are great for what they are), it's just plain a great anime. It was done for the 20th Anniversary of Gundam..which is now almost 20 years ago.

    I don't want to go into details and particulars really, but the closest one is still a little far away.

    Yeah I've been to them. I used to go often to my city's public gardens and see all kinds of trees and ducks and pigeons and swans. Swans are nasty assholes sometimes you know. So are geese.

    Yes potentially one can touch the sky!

    What is the worst emotion, in your opinion?

    Have you ever fallen asleep somewhere that you're not supposed to?

    If you had the choice to either be able to talk to animals or fly, which would you choose?

    I think jealousy is the worst. It feels terrible and can lead people to do all sorts of terrible things not to mention it can consume somebody on its own.

    Yeah, I've fallen asleep on buses a few times and once in highschool I fell asleep out in the woods and woke up hours later when the sun was starting to go down. Whoops

    I think I'd choose talk to animals, it would be fun. There are some crows that follow me around all the time when I go on a certain path, would be cool to chat with them and see what's going on for crows.
