@ Jax - you're missing out on some damned good movies then if you don't watch foreign films..

I agree wholeheartedly.

It's the first time I used that word. And I'm not speaking of "I" or "agree."

Am I the first this Friday? Edit: Damn, so close!

1. If you could retroactively erase one TV show from the history of entertainment, which one would you choose?
So many to choose from, but let's go with American Idol.
2. Are you more like your mother or your father?
I act more like my mom, but I look identical to my dad. It's scary when I see pictures of him when he was my age - and one time when I was working at a place in my home town, some old guy came up to me and said, "I haven't seen him for years... but you've gotta be Dane Potts's son, right?"
3. If you could take a year-long vacation, what would you do?
Go to Italy or Germany.
4. Can you think of a reason not to answer this question?
Yes. But in saying that, I've answered it. What a paradox.
5. What's the nicest thing you've ever done for someone?
I don't know... I do nice things for people a lot, even when it sometimes screws me over a little bit, which is stupid on my part, but whatever.

5. What's the nicest thing you've ever done for someone?

1. Any show that's about rich spoiled adolescent White kids who actually think that they have big problems and who rant about having a shitty life while they're driving their million dollar cars and shit.
2. Alot of people tell me that I'm more like my dad.
3. Smoke alot of pot and just sit down with my guitar for the entire time.
4.
5. I don't do very many nice things, so I really don't know. It's not that I'm a mean person; it's just that I never get the chance to do something good. (That's actually a lie. I constantly get the chance to do good deeds; I'm just in my own world for most of the time that I'm outside of school.)

Seriously, #4 is one of the best questions we've ever gotten for the Friday Five. I'm super serial.

5. What's the nicest thing you've ever done for someone?

1. If I can retroactively erase one TV show from the history of entertainment, then that means I can change the past. That means I am god. That means I would brutally kick Paris Hilton right in the face because she's famous just for being a whore and she's ruining our society. *$%# you, Paris.
2. My mother
3. Finish writing an album called FFC (final fantasy 100) and record it.
4. yes... aww dammit.
5. same as Ptah

5. What's the nicest thing you've ever done for someone?

1. Sweet 16. I don't like spoiled little rich brats complaining that the car they got for their 16th birthday is the wrong colour, and thus, will not drive it.
2. I look like my dad, look nothing like my mother, but take nothing from either in terms of personality.
3. Buy a really good road bike, and just take off on it.
4. No.
5. Took some homeless kids out for dinner.

5. What's the nicest thing you've ever done for someone?

1) If get to erase the people on it as well, I'd go with "The View"
Rosie dies first, and longest...

2) More like my dad in looks, and especially more like him in his younger days as far as temperment goes. I hope I chill out in my later years.....

3) Travel to Oz & NZ, then off to Europe, spending a while in each location.
4) Sure, but I've answered most of these posts so far, why stop now.
5) Not killing 2 punks I caught vandalizing my parents condo. I did pull a blade, and rough them up a bit though...I enjoyed hearing every last ounce of air leaving the lungs of the one who tried to run, and never saw me coming around the corner at him. That spear would have made a WWE highlight film. 'Twas a BEAUTIFUL sound...

I do several nice things for people on a daily basis which seem trivial to me, but I'm sure are appreciated by the people I do them for.

 

[Horus]

You stole my answer for 4!!!

 

[Beelzebub]

Yup, I stole OSAS's response for 2 also.

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

1. Probably Australian Idol, or one of the many pathetic B-grade soap operas which inflict our airwaves...

2. Probably my mother, though I've definately inherited traits from both.

3. Go on a world tour with my band (which would be famous) starting with Australia, the Japan, through the US, then up through Europe before returning to Australia, that would be a great way to see the world... (I've already been to Africa, which was great, but I wouldn't necessarily go there again...

4. Hmmm

5. Exist... :Smug:

1- I don't care
2- Neither
3-Writing and Performing music, also writing short stories.
4- Yes. I am very busy nowadays. I am so much busy that i will not answer this very important question. In fact i don't have even a second to waste, believe me. For 2 months, i couldn't attend any concerts, go to any films or theatres. So let me get this clear: I don't have any time to answer this question.
5- Not laughing to a friend of mine, when he falls into a small muddy lake in public.

1. If you could retroactively erase one TV show from the history of entertainment, which one would you choose?
I only get to choose one?

I'm nothing like my adoptive parents were. Now that I'm getting to know my birthmom, it turns out I'm a lot like her. Don't know my birthfather, so can't say as far as he goes.
3. If you could take a year-long vacation, what would you do?
Spend it in Ireland & Scotland.

5. What's the nicest thing you've ever done for someone?
That'd probably be the year I made sure that 4 of my friends could afford to get to ProgPower, and paid for the first SymX lunch that we had down there with the band..spent a ton of money that year, but made a LOT of people happy so it was all worth it.

 

[Jax]

A SymX related Five:

1. What was the first SymX song you heard?
2. When did you hear it?
3. Which was your first SymX cd?
4. When and where did you see the band for the first time? If you haven't seen them yet, will you be seeing them at any of the upcoming shows?
5. Have a photo with any of the band members? Share it here (just one photo, please).
