    1. Yep, I do it occasionally. There's all sorts of random papers that are no longer important on my coffeetable and a good half of them have scribbles and abstract doodle patterns on them.

    2. I try to mix it up a bit but if I were to think and tally in my head what is most common over say, a month, the answer would have to be some manner of canned soup.

    3. Yes, they are wonderful, except for one or two flavors of those little specialty ones. I think they are called Jelly Bellys or something like that, my late grandfather used to buy them all the time. The regular standard bigger ones though, I like them all, even the black ones which some people don't like and avoid.

    It's remote out here so there's no cables for anything, I really wish I could see modern things like streaming/youtube/other tv channels but it's been more than 30 years since my family lived here and it's not looking likely to happen anytime soon D: not even a tower

    I used to play a little cards but not much since I am also alone most of the time, although I still really like Pyramid since it can be played alone. Solitaire is starting to bore me haha I also collected original Pokémon cards for the art but seeing as it ever expands it didn't feel like collecting anymore so I gave up.

    It's good that you made it through with passes at least. Honestly, a lot of people I've spoken to, have all said something along the lines of regretting not doing better in school etc, and worry about how that has effected things since, but like, not to sound bragging (just trying to illustrate a point), I got perfect grades through all of high school, a total and painful level of over achiever, and also the same through two degrees at uni, but, I still suffer the same severe unemployment as everyone else in my area, so I can't actually say that it ever made any difference how well I did academically. I think people with good people skills are the ones likely to see any advantage at this point. It might just be the economy here but I think it goes to show what people really value isn't related to achievement at all.

    I also empathize with that feeling of finally thinking of something to say but then there never comes a point to actually say anything. I spend months in a remote area with seeing anyone and then when I do tend to be with a group they are all young lads into cars and blokey things, so the best I can manage is "ohh yes air intakes, very good yes" I can't actually participate in any of the conversation so it's frustrating. I also simply couldn't work with a shared living arrangement, privacy and the mental space of knowing everything is safe and orderly and not going to be interfered with is so vital. I'd just constantly be fussing about people messing things up if they were here. I'm an only child so I assume that's why I have no patience for it.

    Do you enjoy it when it rains?

    Have you ever been out to sea? How do you feel about it?

    Do you drive?

    1. Oh yes, quite a lot. I love the sound it makes hitting my ceiling and windows and if it's warm enough I like being out in it. I especially like it when it starts to suddenly really downpour hard, I have paused things I've been watching or playing or what have you just so I could listen to it and watch it from my window.

    2. I have when I was a kid, but not recently. My province is a peninsula surrounded on three sides by the sea, and I grew up in a rural coastal place. I can remember heading out in a big fishing boat that a neighbour owned a few times, far enough that we couldn't see land. It was pretty fun, saw a few small whales I can remember. I distinctly remember the waves getting choppy when we got far enough out one time and myself and the other kids there were forced to go inside this little cabin-room for our own safety, I remember being really angry about it because I wanted to be out on the deck to see it all.

    3. No I currently don't.

    1. Not for me, I ignore it the best I can because it's the day of the year where bein' alone gets shoved starkly in your face more so than usual everywhere you look. Don't need that. It's a couple's holiday, if it can even be considered a proper holiday.

    2. I like it a lot, Even though I know better enough that the timing and such is actually more related to Pagan things than the birth of Christ (it kinda got all mixed up somewhere down the line), I still use it as a time to reflect on that regardless and to spend time with family members I am eternally grateful for having.

    3. New Years is okay, I usually don't do anything special for it though, I'm just not in that kind of position in life right now. I always try to make sure I somehow have some "goodies" for it though because it just feels like the right time for that if there ever was.

    Favorite Holiday?

    Do you listen to rap music?

    Where did you learn to draw so good?

    1. Overall Christmas is my favorite, as standard a favorite as it may be.

    2. Outside of one or two joke-raps, nah not at all. It doesn't really appeal to my ears.

    3. Completely self-taught, just sort of do it and used to draw weird monsters all the time as a kid, and I humbly thank you for the nice compliment that you think it's good.

    Actually had another one xD

    If you could sit anywhere in the world with your art supplies and draw where would it be?

    1. I'd have to say in some woods near a lake or river and beside a nice little fire. More about atmosphere than location I suppose because that could apply to many locations. But that would be a real ideal environment for me I think.

    If you could invent anything right now, what would it be?

    Have you ever been bungee jumping before?

    What mega-evolution do you like best?

    1. You know I thought about this for a number of minutes and could not come up with anything that both doesn't already exist in some form or is even feasible with the existing technology the general public knows about and has access to. But if you want to throw feasibility out the window, functional Mobile Suits.

    2. Nope never, and likely never will.

    3. Mega Medicham, found a shiny Meditite with the nature I wanted in the earlier days of Gen 6 and he's been my Mega to use in the games ever since. Not the most useful Mega over all I guess but damn can this thing hit like a truck. It's a glass cannon though no mistake.

    I've seen photos yes, and I think it's awesome. I think they are taking it down though so I will probably never see it for myself.

    On a scale of 1 to Trump's America, how safe is this space?

    Is this space also for rent?

    1.About five fully and then bits and pieces of others.
    2. Not really no, the majority of what I have watched were not in the UC timeline but sort of like alternate universe timelines...but then there's my favorite Turn A which in some ways can be seen as combining them all and reconciling it into one big massive past, but it's also not concrete about it. It gets weird and too convoluted to be worth noting and tracking it all to me.
    1. Maybe a 3.
    2. Not currently, but who knows where the future may lead.

    :: Would you consider yourself as having a more optimistic, or pessimistic, lean?

    :: Have you ever gone water skiing?

    :: Do you have special eyes?

    1. Overall and historically, pessimistic, although I've been trying to change that lately. I'm definitely more in a balance between the two these days but all things considered I would have to confess to leaning towards pessimism.

    2. Nope, never have. I wouldn't be opposed to it if I found myself in that position though, as long as it was fresh water.

    3. Not too special I don't think, but some characteristics that not everyone has. I have a sort of astigmatism, one eye better than the other and an eye that drifts a little giving me double-vision if I relax my focus in a certain way, but I can always control it unless I am very tired and change focus at will. I've been compensating for this naturally for I don't know exactly how long and my eye muscles kind of adjusted. I went to an eye specialist about a year ago and explained it, did some kind of exam that tests how quickly each eye can change levels of focus, and was told that most people aren't able to adjust eye focus in quite that way so quickly and easily, so that's somewhat special I suppose. The cost is muscle strain if I do it for too long or too often over a long day. I'm supposed to be wearing glasses but I really don't like them and barely wear them, they produce an uncomfortable tilted fish-bowl kind of affect that bothers me and makes it difficult to judge distances the way I can without them, and I don't feel right now that it's a good enough trade off for the 20/20 clarity. I get by just fine without them and less than perfect vision doesn't disable me, I hardly think about it as I go about daily things, Besides that it's notable that I've always had very good night-vision, I am very comfortable navigating darkened places and night time outdoors and my eyes have always adjusted quickly to the dark.
