70 Questions- ALH
Okay, I’m, like, seriously having fun with this. It’s a great character development excercise, and I’ve started using it with original characters. It makes you decide things about your characters that you’d never really think of doing.
I watched the first eight episodes of Lost last night, and I’m officially addicted. I had the wrong impression of it. I thought it was another non-reality show. (That’s my term for them.) But it’s really good! I loved the characters. It’s not easy to understand, and the more you find out, the less you know. Each time they answer a question, it raises more questions than they finished. It’s awesome.
On to the 70 Questions. I’m doing it slightly different, I’m going to write, and then tell you who it is. I don’t want you going in with any pre-conceived notions. (Wow, I’m tired.)
Oh! I meant to tell everyone, specifially aadler_. Three days ago, I changed the oil on one of the minivans. I don’t mean that I took it to get changed. No. I took off the oil filter, let it drain, replaced it. Drained the oil tank. Took off the transmission pan, cleaned it, and put it back on, added the oil and transmission fluid, and closed the hood. IT WAS AWESOME!!!! I’m hyped about it, because I’m finally learning about vehicles like I always wanted.

- Do you snore?
Only when I have a broken nose. Then I could wake the dead. - Are you a lover or fighter?

Okay. Not really either. I just go all-out with both. - What is your worst fear?
Watching Buffy die again. - As a kid, were you a Lego maniac?
Yeah, we used to have a village in the backyard, and then Willow insisted on taking it apart and re-building. - What do you think of ‘Reality TV’?
A waste of time. - Do you chew your straw?

Look, sometimes, people just chew things. I don’t do straws, but I’ve been known to chew a pencil during a test. - Were you a cute baby?
I don’t know. My parents didn’t take pictures. - Is the single life for you?

Yeah, that would be how I got to Africa. I may be a good swimmer, but I’m nowhere near that good. - Are you an only child?

Mechanical. That way, you don’t have to worry about sharpening them. - What’s your take on hunting?
