3. I dunno

1. Think I was 16.
2. Hell no, us Aussies don't have an accent, the rest of the world does. This is why Aussie actors can play just about any role, with any accent.
3. Ummm, made that mistake twice, don't want to try for a third.
4. Microwave oven to cook the tons of fish I would catch!
5. Do bus tickets count?

1. About three years ago at the age of 21.
2. Not a strong one. But when speaking English I think every Finn has one (especially the politicians)
3. Yes I do. Married in the sense of making The Promise. The actual celebration means little to me.
4. A spoon. Oh, I misread it for a dessert island. Let me think again... I think I would take some kind of weapon with me. Maybe a crossbow since it would be fixable and fairly easy to make new ammunition to.
5. An airplane ticket to Puerto Rico, Spain.

[Beelzebub]

In "that" sense, 17. In the broader, philosophical sense, I'm still in the process, but it's been ongoing since I've been alive.

Yes.

I find the attention that comes with getting married appealing, though everything else that comes along with it turns me off.

Hand-held GPS

5. What is the last activity you bought a ticket for?
Skinless/Immolation/Suffocation

 

[Kenneth R.]

What's so bad about getting married, all you players? If it's "no sex" then lol, if it's living with someone ewww then lol, if it's all the lovey dovey cutesy stuff... ya know, you don't have to marry an imbecile. If you find the right person, all of the above do sound like jokes indeed.

 

[Burnout]

A lil' early this week because I'm going to be busy tomorrow..

1. When did you "lose your innocence"?

Huh?

2. Would you say you have an accent?

I suppose this is a bit subjective, it would probably depend on the perspective of the person I'm talking to. People do tell me that I have a tendency to speak in a monotone (though I don't hear it).

I'm terrible with women.

4. If you could take one technology to a desert island (the obvious satellite phone excluded), what would it be?

A laptop with satellite internet access?

5. What is the last activity you bought a ticket for?

An Arsis/Enslaved show in LA.

5. Movie: Sweeney Todd
