2. What are your weaknesses? I can be a bit mercurial and a bit paranoid regarding any kind of definite future
3. What are five words that would describe you? intelligent clumsy sarcastic friendly ambitious
4. What are your hobbies/interests and talents? reading, writing, editing and recording music and sound, sketching, self-defense, breaking commandments (ok so it's just the 10th, a couple times)..., film, filmmaking...
GETTING DEEPER
5. This or that
Knowledge or Imagination: Knowledge without imagination is dull, imagination without knowledge is blind.
Justice or Mercy: Justice, but there is a great deal of justice in mercy sometimes, it's like, give them exactly what they don't want
Bravery or Revenge: Bravery, though I can't say I've never indulged in revenge
Rule or Be Ruled: Rule, generally, or just, IDK, go my own way
6. How would you summarize your thoughts on life? "It goes on"
7. What is one life lesson that holds a lot of meaning to you
"When you know what you want, what you want to do, then it gets easier."
8. What is your order of importance: Power, truth, freedom, Freedom, Power, Truth, but they're all fairly important, truth being more subjective of course, but freedom is power, power is freedom, they're sort of intrinsic.
9. If you could do something illegal without any consequences whatsoever, would you do it and why or why not? Maybe some illegal substances, if by "no consequences" this includes "no damaging side-effects to my body." Oh that could get fun. Might jump off a building or set my hand on fire too, or jump in front of a speeding bullet, or train. Maybe save someone. Or a puppy. Or adopt a million puppies! XD
10. What is one figure (non fictional or fictional) that you admire. Why? Non-fictional: Truman. The last honest, functional politician. Because he lived his words, "It's amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit." Fictional: Holden Caulfield's older brother, because I find it infinitely more inspiring to be a "Hollywood prositute" than a judgmental tool who doesn't do anything. Which is probably missing some whole point of the novel, but I don't care. On some level I probably am more like Holden, but I don't see that as anything to aspire to or admire.

ET CETERA
17. Do you have a favorite film in the Matrix trilogy? The first one. I'm one of those people who sometimes likes to pretend the other two don't exist. But I can appreciate Reloaded for the villains introduced, and Revolutions for the epic Agent Smith/Neo fight scene, the appearance of the Kid in both...but nothing really beats all they managed to accomplish with such a small budget of the first. Puts every multimillion blockbuster to shame. The essence of good filmmaking.
18. What is your favorite quote from any of the films? "What's really going to bake your noodle later on is, would you still have broken it if I hadn't said anything?"
19. Is there anything else that you would like to add? I can't be the only one who thought that the only reason Agent Smith was so obsessed with Neo was because he was tired of Morpheus always turning him down...wut my slash goggles let me show u them.
