Food for though, may take a while to digest.


1) Do you still have Faith?

I want to have Faith. I want to believe in God, in Heaven and Hell and angels and an afterlife. But I don't really believe in it as much as hope. Even then, all of my reading and thinking leads me to believe that Heaven is no more real than Asgard or Olympus. There's a slight belief that the supernatural exists, but who's to say? The supernatural could be random coincidence, or a science we don't understand. In either case I find my eroding fate depressing, because if this is all we get from the world, there there's a lot that I've missed out on.

2) What could you do to make yourself happier that you keep avoiding?

It sounds like you know the answer to this already *heh* There are two things that I can do. I have banned certain websites from my computer, and the server. My roommate will set a password on them that I don't know. The other thing that I can do... is give up Warhammer, or take a break from it. I gave up Jyhad, or at least I have little desire to play it anymore. I suffered through another night of horrible die rolling. I can't make the dice roll better, and I put a lot of pressure on myself to win when playing Warhammer. If I can't take that pressure off myself, then I have to stop playing for a while.

3) As I've been asking certain others: when do we get to see more writing?

Epicenter went up a few days ago, and I'm working on Electronaut now. As for journal writing, I haven't done it as much because I wanted to get my story out... and I haven't felt like I have much good to say. I don't edit myself a lot when I type, and I think people make decisions about me by just seeing my negative posts. I do myself more harm than good, that way.

4) What is your idea of a perfect day?

With all the frills aside, a perfect day is one where I experience happiness, satisfaction, contentment, wonder, triumph, and can do something to make someone else smile. A day where I don't feel any pain or doubt.

5) What is your totally pointless super-power?
I can turn lights in a room on or off with the power of my mind.

If you want me to interview you--post a comment that simply says, "Interview me." I'll respond with questions for you to take back to your own journal and answer as a post. Of course, they'll be different for each person since this is an interview and not a general survey. At the bottom of your post, after answering the Interviewer's questions, you ask if anyone wants to be interviewed. So it becomes your turn-- in the comments, you ask them any questions you have for them to take back to their journals and answer. And so it becomes the circle.

Who will play? May I interview you? -- Originally from who knows by now?

Total aside -- how is Medieval? I played the demo and was highly entertained.

I don't own it, but my roommate does. It looks really cool from what I've seen of it. I may save up the cash and pick it up soon. As a surrogate for Warhammer!

where we are, but I'll give you this.

I was a dick, I asked pointed questions which I never intended to see the answers to; but I've never promised an easy friendship to anyone....
That I did see answers doesn't surprise me, because you're one brave motherfucker.

Where we are might make an interesting conversation some night...

I misread that, at first I thought you said POINTLESS questions. Some friendships come easy, some come with more effort. Some aren't even worth having.

But some are. Like yours.
