So, about me...

1. I'm currently sick and miserable and have nothing better to do than type up 10 facts about myself. Update: I'm fortunately doing better now.

2. My current job is serving food at a retirement home. Everyone there is so nice and it's been a great experience. Unfortunately, I don't get the day off...

3. I've had Lego Dimensions sitting in my car for a week. I was planning on giving it to my brother for his birthday, which is tomorrow (finally)! Now I can use the twelve Dimensions kits I've bought for myself (I have a problem). Update: Lego Dimensions is best game since Lego Universe. Plus, Lego Chell and Doctor Who! Also, I'm up to 17 kits. :P

4. At the aforementioned retirement home, one of the residents gave me a scarf as an early Christmas present. I wore it nearly every day for the next month. I like scarfs (See: Virse).

5. I have a friend who works at the local Lego Store and doesn't mind sharing his discount. I got all the Protectors and Masters for half-off. :D

6. Update on my pet status from the last journal: my 11-year-old brother got some fish for Christmas from me. He wanted a goldfish named "Mr. Bubbles," but after spending two hours in the store only to be told goldfish were a bad idea, we just got him something similar. I doubt he noticed.

7. I'm currently celebrating 350 followers over on Flickr (well... 371... and it was supposed to be my 300 follower celebration... I got a little busy). Feel free to join in the festivities. I really need to do something like that here (I didn't even realize I have, like, 170 followers!)

8. My life's ambition is to play the Modern Major General from the musical, The Pirates of Penzance. I have his song on my iPod and I've listened to it enough times to have it permanently engraved on my soul. I even brought it in as a song that represents me for a school project. The best part about this goal is it's going to take 30-40 years before I can even audition, so I have plenty of time to procrastinate and look forward to it.

9. The Ninjago Temple of Airjitzu, Ronin's R.E.X., and the Destiny's Bounty (second version) are prominently displayed on my dresser. Ninjago is just one of my favorite lines (after Bionicle) for the Oriental aesthetic mixed with the high tech vehicles. I probably spent way too much money on all of it though...

10. The only gaming system (besides PC) that I own is an Xbox 360, and it took my parents years to agree to that. Growing up, my now-16-year-old brother and I were stuck playing online games for hours or the occasional Lego game. I'm just glad I have it now to play Dimensions.


Answers:

1. Who are your favourite artists here on DA?

Gah, don't make me answer that! :P

...alright, fine. I'll do my best. I don't want any hurt feelings though...
Cool MOCists:
:iconcoconutfanatic:, :iconcasetheface:, :icongoldenarpeggio:, :iconlol-pretzel:, :iconmrbolttron:, :iconoblivious521:

Cool Bionicle artists:
:icondisturbulator:, :iconferain:, :iconthe-ht-wacom-man:, :icontoatiome:, :iconuncle-k:

Other Cool artists:
:iconalgoinde:, :iconjenzee:

2. Who are your favourite music artists?

I honestly just don't listen to music. A few artists I don't mind are Of Monsters and Men, Imagine Dragons, Laura Shigihara (she's nerdy, can sing very well, and worked on To the Moon), and Darren Korb, the genius behind the music of Bastion and Transistor.

3. What does subdermatoglyphic mean?

"Sub-", below, "-derma-", skin, "-glyph", writing. My guess would be patterns of blood vessels or muscles, or perhaps it has a more metaphorical definition of writing that is deeper than the surface, or that delves into deeper topics.

4. How did you end up here on DA?

My entire internet experience began with BZPower, and it was from art topics in there that I found the site. At first, I just made an account so I could PM a few people about using art as a background for my own MOCs, then my account stagnated for a year until I decided to brush off the dust and get to work.

5. Do you RP at all? If so where? Online or Pen and Paper?

Like :iconcoconutfanatic:, I RP on BZPower in Corpus Rahkshi. I'm currently hoping some more gameplay topics come up to make up for Corpus' slow activity (or maybe you can invite me to your RPs :) ). I have far too much fun making character concepts for the games I've played (I have over 80 profiles for Corpus Rahkshi, only ten of which have been submitted).

6. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Well... Ideally, done with the Mission, probably back in school working towards Civil Engineering, and hopefully with a decent job on the side.

7. Why not Zoidberg?

At this point... Zoidberg might be a better option than Clinton or Trump. Vote Zoidberg!

8. What's your least favourite thing you have in your gallery?

Probably... this:
BAS - Dark Hunter Mimic by 0nuku
Mimic is my favorite Dark Hunter, and I feel like this messy, poorly posed drawing just doesn't do him justice. I really should try again.

9. What's your favourite piece of work here on DA out of all of them?

I'm going to fall back on an old answer and say this:
Zozobra by MurderousAutomaton
Because my favorites are full of Bionicle and it takes a lot for something non-Lego to get into my Favorites. I just love the combination of Steampunk, Tribal, and 9 aesthetics in this art.

10. What's preying on your mind right now?

Gah... far too much to explain here. Let's just say I'm still working on the direction my life is taking for the next few months and the next few years. School, work, mission... I don't know...

11. What color is your toothbrush? I'm asking for a friend, I'm normal.

Blue and red.

12. What is your favorite day of the year?

Hm... maybe Christmas Eve. I just love the spirit of Christmas and all the anticipation building for Christmas Day, and then my family has that large and delicious dinner, new hand-sewn pajamas, and a Christmas story to send you to bed. What could be better?

13. What is your favorite time of the year.

I love late Fall, when the leaves are changing and the snow is just getting started, the days are cooling off, and the stars are out for hours.

14. If you could pick any mythical creature to be, what would that be?

I'd say something like Phoenix or Gryphon, but :iconcoconutfanatic:'s golem girl concept (now I feel bad for not remembering her name...) has me thinking... that could be pretty cool. Assuming it is like her and you have free will and a near infinite capacity for sculpting other golems and stone.

15. Why is it so hard to come up with questions?

Because all the "good questions" are already taken. Though I actually find facts to be harder, especially after writing up about 30 elsewhere.

16. Have you ever wanted to be a gecko?

...can't say the thought ever occurred to me, but probably not. I hate the tropics, and I don't want to eat bugs and get eaten by birds. Climbing around the jungle might be cool though.

17. What is one of the best moments of your life, and would you ever want to relive it?

The first one that comes to mind was seeing the Lego Movie on screen. :P And yes, I try to relive that on at least a monthly basis (that movie is AWESOME!!)

18. Is your fly up?

...well, now it is. :P The advantage of working as a waiter is I have an apron covering my front at all times. 

19. What's your opinion on memes? How have they affected society today and do you think they have created any kind of schism between this generation and the last when it comes to humor?


Oh goodness... memes... 90% of them are just pure trash sloppily thrown together by mindless teens who are just trying to follow the crowd. That being said (and a bit harsher than I meant it to sound), there is the occasional clever meme that gets a snicker out of me.

But then again, I just have a very dated and pathetic sense of humor, and so my opinion probably answers the second part (yes, there's definitely a schism).

20. What do you plan to do professionally for the rest of your life, as a career?

Like I said above, I'm going into Civil Engineering with the intention of moving into Architecture as my career. Still, I do love graphic design and that is starting to sway my opinions.


And... my questions (I take back what I say about facts being harder to come up with):

1. What is your favorite drink?

2. What is the best Lego theme (besides Bionicle)?

3. Would you like to discover life on other planets?

4. What is the craziest dream you've had recently?

5. What is your favorite biome?

6. Pirates or Ninjas?

7. Apple or Android?

8. What is the best item in your room?

9. Which holiday character (i.e. Santa, Easter Bunny, Cupid, etc.) would win in a fight?

10. What is your favorite Disney song?
