now that lumi is here she could as well post the questions herself... it's not as if i do it for my already fat post count. ;)
 
496. is rubbing a fork against a plate the most beautiful sound you know?

i know of many sounds that are much more beautiful than this, such as the sound of 300 pigs being slowly ripped apart limb by limb

---------------------------------------------

497. do you have any habits that your friends consider sick?

a general obsession for organizing stuff in huge databases that are never complete is usually regarded as my only, or at least most severe, compulsion

---------------------------------------------

498. are you good at counting numbers inside your head?

does it require any skill at all? oh wait... i see what you mean now: yes, i'm rather good at making sums or moltiplications in my head because it happens often in my job that i have to

---------------------------------------------

499. do you play different roles around different people?

i play no part around my friends and almost everyone else: in the former case it's not needed, in the latter it's not worth the effort. it might however happen that i use strategies around some people on occasions

---------------------------------------------

500. when you go to a sight-seeing or a thing like that, do you prefer a guide with you or do you want to explore everything by yourself?

no guide, i need a personal fruition of whatever i'm seeing

---------------------------------------------
 
496. Is rubbing a fork against a plate the most wonderful sound you know?
Yes. By "yes" I mean "no".

497. Do you have any habits that your friends consider as sick?
Openly farting. Otherwise, no.

498. Are you good at counting numbers inside your head?
Only so long as I don't hear any other numbers in the meantime.

499. Do you play different roles around different people?
Ehmm...well, I'm kind of different around family than I am around friends and strangers. These people knew me before I was potty trained.

500. When you go to a sight-seeing or a thing like that, do you prefer a guide with you or do you want to explore everthing yourself?
I want to go by myself.
 
496. Is rubbing a fork against a plate the most wonderful sound you know?
It's fun to aggravate people with.
497. Do you have any habits that your friends consider as sick?

Cracking nearly ever joint in my body comes up sometimes.
498. Are you good at counting numbers inside your head?

A little bit.
499. Do you play different roles around different people?

I'd have to say I do.
500. When you go to a sight-seeing or a thing like that, do you prefer a guide with you or do you want to explore everthing yourself?

Rather do it myself.

approximately the equivalent of 25 euros

---------------------------------------------

502. cutest thing you know?

some people when they fall asleep

---------------------------------------------

503. are white lies acceptable?

like any other kind of lie. i don't differentiate much based on how innocent lies are, but according to their usefulness and consequences

---------------------------------------------

504. does easter affect your life in any way?

days off from work, nothing more

---------------------------------------------

505. there'll soon be robots to do all of our household chores. wanna have a robot making you a cup of coffee?

for starters, i don't even like coffee. problem solved. :p but: there's already machines making coffee or most of everything else, so i don't really see the big deal. usually what is mistaken for a higher level of machine-controlled environment, is in fact the very same level, just with more showy or elaborate machines involved, which increases the feeling of "omg, it's teh f00ture!!111!!11!!". technically, though, whether it's a whirring coffee-machine preparing coffee, or a chatting human-like robot wearing an apron, it's really just the same

---------------------------------------------

506. mel gibson and passion of the christ. gonna see it?

not in theaters, but i rarely see movies in theaters because they're dubbed (the movies, not the theaters). anyway, i don't care that much: pick a controversial topic, make a controversial movie, success! *stifles a yawn*

---------------------------------------------

507. are you a violent person?

physically, absolutely not, unless you mean against myself. verbally, i can get pretty aggressive, but i never resort to name-calling or shouting or anything as trivial as that

---------------------------------------------

508. what matters?

other people

---------------------------------------------

509. what was the latest thing on which you felt you had accomplished something?

editing/proofreading dt lyrics for the new (re)releases and stuff

---------------------------------------------

not much darker than me

A $20 bill. Left it there.
502. Cutest thing you know?
My gf. Awww...
503. Are white lies acceptable?
Sometimes required.
504. Does Easter affect your life in any way?
Not greatly. Have to go to mass with family, but otherwise, not tremendously.
505. There soon will be robots that´ll do all of your housework. Wanna have a robot making you a cup of coffee?
'Cept I don't like coffee....
506. Mel Gibson and Passion of the Christ. Gonna see it?
Eventually. Followed shortly by Life of Brian. :)
507. Are you a violent person?

Sneaky lil bastard.

~Kov.

$20 USD, about 16 Euro.

---------------------------------------------

502. cutest thing you know?

My 2 year-old cousin Donna. Damn! I'm unable to post a picture from this computer.

---------------------------------------------

503. are white lies acceptable?

rahvin said:

Ditto.

---------------------------------------------

504. does easter affect your life in any way?

Annoying prayer around the dinner table as everyone pretends my sister and me aren't atheists.

---------------------------------------------

505. there'll soon be robots to do all of our household chores. wanna have a robot making you a cup of coffee?

Will the robot fuck me too?

---------------------------------------------

506. mel gibson and passion of the christ. gonna see it?

I downloaded it. I didn't watch the entire film as I have no use for it and have been disgusted at its effects. However, I did want to see the level of violence. As expected it was tame compared to many films I've seen from Europe and Japan.

---------------------------------------------

507. are you a violent person?

I am aware of hitting my pillow before I do it, you do the math.

---------------------------------------------

508. what matters?

The few people I both love and respect.

---------------------------------------------

509. what was the latest thing on which you felt you had accomplished something?

Being there to aid a friend in danger.

---------------------------------------------

510. what's your shadow like?

Difficult to fool.

---------------------------------------------
 
501. What is the biggest amount of money you have found on a street?
A few pence. Not much.

502. Cutest thing you know?
My cat.

503. Are white lies acceptable?
Sometimes.

504. Does Easter affect your life in any way?
Yes - I get lots of CHOCOLATE. :) I was raised in a secular household. Easter means little to me, either in Christian terms or in whatever annual pagan hootenanny it's allegedly based on.

505. There soon will be robots that´ll do all of your housework. Wanna have a robot making you a cup of coffee?
There's not much point. I have a kettle beside my computer. Energy use in making coffee is minimal anyway.

506. Mel Gibson and Passion of the Christ. Gonna see it?
Probably at some point. Not in the immediate future.

507. Are you a violent person?
Very occasionally. If the mood and circumstances align, I can sometimes explode at people.

508. What matters?
Different things at different times.

509. What was the latest thing on which you felt you had accomplished something?
The most recent would be my 3D animation assignment, where I scored highest in a class of about 50 with 89%. I put four wooden mannequins on a stage and got them to do the YMCA dance while the camera swooped around along a complicated path based on not one but two cubic splines working in parallel.

510. What´s your shadow like?
You're really struggling for questions now, aren't you?
 
469. do you donate to charity? if so, what do you donate, how much, how often, to which charities?

I don´t.

---------------------------------------------

470. when you walk around inside a mall or in the streets, are you always the one having to dodge the ones that are walking straight towards you?

not really. but most of the time I´m quite dodgy anyway, think.

---------------------------------------------

471. does it piss you off that they never dodge you?

after some time, yes.

---------------------------------------------

472. have you ever thought "fuck, i'm not going to dodge anyone anymore because they aren't either" and walked straight forward?

yepp. or not maybe that partiular thought but something related.

---------------------------------------------

473. did they then walk straight on you?

no, it actually works surprisingly well. it must be me looking gr1m or something.

---------------------------------------------

474. when you come out of a metro station, does it make you insanely angry when all the old goats / young rap kids rush in before you get out?

they don´t, I´m first at the door. but I wouldn´t care who it was rushing in.


---------------------------------------------

475. ever walked out quickly, punching the old goats / young rap kids out of the way?

nope.


---------------------------------------------

476. did it cause an adrenalin rush and made your mouth go all smiley, seeing their prizeless faces?

no, I don´t find pushing people that funny.


---------------------------------------------

477. do you open/hold the door for someone with huge packages and such?

yes.

---------------------------------------------

478. when you drive a car, do you have a feeling you're the only one that seems to be able to drive?

if I were driving a car, I´d probably have the feeling that I was the only one not able to drive. and most people would agree, I think.


---------------------------------------------

479. if you were a cop, from how high a percentage of people would you take driving licenses away?

I have absolutely no idea.


---------------------------------------------

480. if you are robinson, who's your friday?

don´t know, the rescue attempt failed so he got eaten by the cannibals.

---------------------------------------------

481. if you wear a longsleeve, do you often roll the sleeves up?

no, only when there´s a reason for it.

---------------------------------------------

482. you have this sudden :dopey: for something. do you get it no matter what?

yepp. except when it actually matters.

---------------------------------------------

483. do you enjoy watching romantic comedies or do they make you puke?

they´re depressing.

---------------------------------------------

484. there is a picture on the wall but it's not straight. leave it like that?

depends on where.

---------------------------------------------

485. is cleaning a toilet fun?

hilarious.

---------------------------------------------

486. do you know many people that have the same name as you do?

uhm... there´s always this definition problem with knowing people but no, they´re not many anyway.

---------------------------------------------

487. is the health of your environment (nature, not people) important to you?

quite.

---------------------------------------------

488. which is more stupid? a) burning books; b) shouting your opinions in the streets

burning books. b might have a good reason, a is stupid almost no matter what.

---------------------------------------------

489. priests?

I wouldn´t want it for a job, but sure. as long as they´re not blind fanatics.

---------------------------------------------

490. is cartman fat or just heavy boned?

both, probably.

511. what colour is your favourite towel?

am i supposed to have one? well, if i did it would be white. towels are white. yes

---------------------------------------------

512. do you recycle?

just the obvious, glass and plastic

---------------------------------------------

513. would you rather be too cold or too hot?

too cold. i hate warm climates

---------------------------------------------

514. too tall or too short?

since i'm too short, i'd like to experience the enticing feeling of being too tall for once

---------------------------------------------

515. too fat or too thin?

well, i'm already too thin, but i like it this way

---------------------------------------------

516. too quiet or too loud?

there is no such thing as too quiet

---------------------------------------------

517. what is your favourite type of cheese?

parmesan cheese

---------------------------------------------

518. do you ever go through periods where you'll look at the clock at the exact same time each day, but for no real reason?

not really, there is always a reason as far as i can see

---------------------------------------------

519. do you like having curtains open so you can see out, or do you like having them closed so no one else can see in?

closed, so i can't see out

---------------------------------------------

520. why does a mouse when it's brown?

question does not compute

---------------------------------------------
 
511. what colour is your favourite towel?

Blue, I think, I guess.

---------------------------------------------

512. do you recycle?

No. My city doesn't have a recycling service and I'm too lazy to bring things to the plant.

---------------------------------------------

513. would you rather be too cold or too hot?

Too cold. You can always put on more layers of clothing. If you're too hot, you're at the mercy of your enviornment.

---------------------------------------------

514. too tall or too short?

Too tall. People are intimidated by my height, just the way I like things.

515. too fat or too thin?

Too thin. I'm much too thin, but I have the luxury of being active when I want.

---------------------------------------------

516. too quiet or too loud?

I hate loud as I want to preserve my hearing until I'm dead. I've started wearing earplugs at concerts and I never have my music at a level approaching uncomfortable.

---------------------------------------------

517. what is your favourite type of cheese?

Sharp cheddar.

---------------------------------------------

518. do you ever go through periods where you'll look at the clock at the exact same time each day, but for no real reason?

Seemingly. But I have a feeling since I look at a clock perhaps 100 times in a day and have daily routines, it's all just a coincidence.

---------------------------------------------

519. do you like having curtains open so you can see out, or do you like having them closed so no one else can see in?

My bedroom window is blocked with blankets to let in as little light as possible.

---------------------------------------------

520. why does a mouse when it's brown?

If I had a mouse I'd name it Pringles.

imagine us being kinda goofy and awkward about it, like people who are not really accustomed to such spontaneous outbursts and are still trying to find their way around doing the horns or faking some headbanging. from the crowd there shall rise a chorus of "yeah!", "right!", "hooray!", but also the occasional "quod erat demonstrandum!", "thesis + antithesis = synthesis!", and "E=mc2!"
