1.If I were to give you a primer on Dr. Who, would you check it out then?
2.Would you want a pet Ohju?
3. You gonna go see the Guardians of the Gahoole movie?

1. ......No. Sorry! I just have so many other things I'd like to watch instead, and the premise has never interested me that much.
2. They're cute, but.... no. I prefer the Tohda! I'm a huge dragon fan, and the Tohda resemble them much more.
3. I want to! I love the book series- I know it's for kids, but it's just so well-done that I love it!

[rocklobster]

I'm actually surprised Zack Synder is directing that movie. He's never done kid-friendly movies.
1. Favorite classical composer?
2. Ever watch Fantasia?
3. Ever play Pokemon? Got a favorite?

3. Ever play Pokemon? Got a favorite?

1. All of them. .... Well, yeah. I like all of them. I actually can't name one that I don't like.
2. YES. I want it and Fantasia 2000. Right now.
3. I have a few times. I own Crystal and Gold, but overall I think I like Gold more. Though I haven't finished any of them >.>"

[rocklobster]

1. Actually, I was asking if there was a creature in Pokemon you liked. Is there?
2. Have you ever watched the Matrix trilogy?
3. What about the Animatrix?
4. Since you like Batman, is it safe to assume that you're a Titans fan as well (as in Teen Titans, the superhero team that Robin founded. We comics fans just call them Titans because there's another Teen Titans team with a completely different lineup)? If so, do you have a favorite member?

1. YES! I like Pikachu, Starmie, Rapidash, and a few more that I can't remember the names of.
2. I've only watched the first movie. I never got around to watching the other two
3. Nope! Never had a chance.
4. YES! Go Teen Titans! I'm a huge Starfire fan, though Raven is a close second.

[rocklobster]

1. Ever watch the Starship Troopers movies?
2. Most depressing book you ever read. (Sad isn't the same as depressing. You can read a sad book without being depressed, especially if it doesn't make you sad.)
3. Favorite non-biblical figures in Christian history? (such as Joan of Arc, St. Francis of Assisi, and Mother Theresa of Calcutta)

1. No. Our library and video store never carried them.
2. One of the Dragonlance books I once read.... Lemme see if I can't find the title...."Dragons of a Fallen Sun"! Yeah. That one made me soooo depressed. I just had this feeling of hoplessness that lasted for a few days, and I still get that feeling whenever I think about that book.
3. I can't say Leonardo DaVinci? lolz. But Joan of Arc is my favorite. She was awesome when Awesome was a man's game. Even if she wasn't really hearing God, that girl had a stregnth and intelligence that makes her an amazing person to look up to.

[rocklobster]

Isn't Dragonlance connected to D&D somehow?
1. Ever read any Roald Dahl (he wrote the Willy Wonka books, Matilda, and James and the Giant Peach)?
2. What do you think is the worst Western Animation cartoon ever?
3. Do you like Shakespeare? Got a favorite play?

3. Do you like Shakespeare? Got a favorite play?

Yep- they were inspired by the D&D game, with the races and dragons and campagns and whatnot. And now it actually inspires campagnes of it's own, since it's become it's own world with politics and intrigue being passed on from one generation to the next.

1. Yep! James and the Giant Peach and Willy Wonka were some of the books I read. TBH, I didn't care for him that much. I was into other writing styles when I was that age. Bruce Coville for instance.
2. Ed, Edd, and Eddy. I loathed that show! I mean, they were complete idiots (excpet for double-D), they got into the dumbest adventures, and the animation was sloppy and ugly. Ick.
3. Yes! Shakespeare fan in the house! I would go with.... MacBeth. Revenge, insanity, murder.... all things I'm fond of in my stories. Of course, I have yet to read Hamlet or King Lear, so my opinion might change.

Also: I finally found a webcomic I adore. It's called Lackadaisy, and is the events of Prohibition as told through the happenings in a little cafe/ speakeasy in St. Louis. By.... cats. Yeah, all the characters are cats. But that doesn't change the charm it has, even though it has violence, blood, death, presented in a really nice package. I mean, it's prohibition with a speakeasy- it's not always gonna be dancing and booze.

[rocklobster]

Trust me, you will love Hamlet. It's his magnum opus. Oh, and while you're at it, check out the Mel Gibson version.
1. Ever listen to Bjork?
2. What's your favorite Stephen King book? (In case you can't tell by my shelf, I love his books too!
3. Favorite movie based on a Stephen King book?
4. Ever read H.G. Wells? If you haven't, you should! He and Jules Verne pretty much founded the sci-fi genre.

1. No. I keep hearing a lot about her, so it's something I really should do sometime.
2. Well, I've only read two- The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and The Shining. Of those two, I believe The Shining far outshines (hurhur) the other. Fantastic, fantastic book!
3. The Shining. Though.... Rose Red is a terrific made-for-tv show based on his work! I can't tall you which one scared me more!
4. Yep! I know I've read one of his stories, but I can't remember which one! I... didn't like Jules Verne, though. I'm not sure why.

1. Princess Tutu. I thought it was going to be another stupid, girly show- like all the other bad, terrible harems that my friend had shown me before. Five years later, I go back to it based off of a review I read, and.... I own it now! XD
2. Super intelligence. I would fight crime with my smarts and make ingenious plans and take over the..... UMMMM yeah. I would fight crime.

1. No. I attempted to watch Animal Cops, but that made me too depressed and sad ]and[/I] can defend herself? Yeah. Totally my kind of Greek goddess.

1.All the specials on Egypt! THey're SO GREAT! XD Shark Week is also good. And they used to have this one show called 'A Haunting'- I love ghost stories, and I would always get freaked!
2. Mars. Because I would actually be able to get out and walk on the surface and see the rocks and everything.
3. Ahhh..... Tie! (I switch off each day) This one!

2. Did you have plushies as a kid? Which ones do you recall?

1. Spaceman Spiff! I don't think I saw the others enough to really fall in love with them, though Tracer Bullet was also fun.
2. Yep! In fact, I still have one- Brown Bear. As you might guess, he's... a suffed brown bear! XD But when I was young, he was my favorite and always saved me from the evil Snow Bear (whom I finally got the courage to get rid of when I was in 4th grade. I didn't like him at all!)
3. Um, all of them? XD But the ones with the archeologists always get me, and I have a BALL with aliens! (one of my favorites involved God making the snakes- "Hey! This is pretty easy!" as he rolls the clay out. Because I totally remember being like that in kindergarten!)

[rocklobster]

1. Have you ever seen Tron? If yes, are you excited about the sequel (it's coming in December!)?

4. Favorite Twilight Zone episode?

1. Yes! to the first, and sort-of to the second. I honestly don't know what to think of a sequel coming out. I thought the movie was fine as it was, so it sort of annoys me that they are making one.
2. Argh! um, Steven Speilburg, um.......Hitchcock......um.........*hangs head in shame* I don't follow directors, so I really don't have any besides those. Sorry!
3. Yes, a few times on tv. I usually caught the reruns when I was home sick. It was pretty easy to follow- I mean, he was just jumping from body to body and chinging history. Which was fun to watch.
4. I would have to say the one where the aliens isolated all the different neighborhoods and everyone in the neighborhoods turned on eachother. They all thought a person in the neighborhood had to be contacting the aliens, but it turned out none of them were- the aliens were able to isolate them without someone being a 'contact'.
