Who would you call with your one phone call if arrested? (No lawyers!)
Simon. He'd call Troy, they'd bring tanks, I wouldn't be in there for long.
Simon zegt: Is this your subtle way of telling me you've been arrested, and I should bring tanks? *snicker* This is assuming I'd had my tea for the morning. Len zegt: Obviously. That's why I call Simon first; he'll show up at your house with a pick axe, a trout, and a surly disposition. Troy zegt: We'll have a cup of tea, then be on our way. Len zegt: I think it'd be hard to have a cup of tea with a pick axe lodged in your arm, Troy. I say the arms because I imagine Simon would be vaguely lenient in the mornings if there was a tank inferno in the plans. Troy zegt: Yeah, I can see that. Simon on my doorstep, hefting roadworking equipment. "Come on, Rommel. There's mischief afoot." Lenzegt: I'm not sure he'd say 'Rommel', exactly. He'd probably just call you Fucknut or something equally endearing. Simon zegt: Troy got it all wrong. It's be "Oi, Fucknut. We're blowing shit up. And rescuing Len if she survives. Let's go" Shush, you mentioned tanks. I'm having a moment. Len zegt: Okay. Troy zegt: *ballet montage with tanks!* Okay, I'm good. -- Troy zegt: Not my faaaault. Well, entirely my fault. I just don't feel like taking responsibility. *preens* Len zegt: Troy's motto in life, ladies and gentlemen.
What set you apart from the rest of the kids at school?
Submitted by jks.
Blue, spiked hair, leather trenchcoat, deliberate attempt to adopt the moves of the bastard child of James Dean and Keanu Reeves, a spectacularly horrid attitude, growling, inexplicable disappearances leading to mass panic during field trips, a Plan for the Future, a love of punk rock and the unfailing ability to gain the sympathy of my teachers through general cleverness.
It's no wonder they voted me 'Most Likely to Become a Terrorist' in the yearbook.
After all the recent season and series finales, what are you watching on TV these days?
At the moment, I'm pretty much only still watching Doctor Who; I haven't really had the time to see if there's anything worthwhile showing over the summer, which is something I traditionally do in the week after the academic year ends. Luckily, the Brits don't use the same kind of season-planning that the States do, so I think my best bet is watching a lot of BBC over the summer.
I'll probably also take the opportunity to check out a few more '80s/'90s 'modern classic' TV shows (whether it's classic in a fandom sense or in a TV sense) that I might have missed out on over the years. I'd ask if anyone had any suggestions, but I don't imagine a lot of folks frequent this blog (and to those who do, yes, I've now watched all of Dexter and it is awesome).
Who is your favorite video game character?

That's a toss-up between two folks, really. On one hand, you've got Raziel, who hits all my thematic buttons: he's the Champion of Free Will, he's a rebellious little pissant, and he's great with the righteous anger. On the other hand, he's also an angsty little bugger and likes to soliloquize a lot. Trappings of the genre, I know.
On the other hand, we have my recently reawakened love of Sarah Kerrigan, who can be addressed as either 'The Queen of Blades' or 'The Queen Bitch of The Universe'. She was my role model as a child. And no, I'm not actually kidding. She was awesome. I used to introduce myself as Queen Bitch of the Universe. I had her picture on the back of my school diary. I even memorized her victory speech from the end of StarCraft: Brood War:
"Once again, I stand atop the broken bodies of my enemies. Victorious, but not unscarred. The Earth-borne Directorate has been destroyed, and the Overmind lies dead and trampled beneath the ashes of Char. As for my unlikely allies, I think I should allow them reprieve. For in time, I will seek to test their resolve, and their strengths. They will all be mine in the end. For I am the Queen of Blades, and none shall ever dispute my rule again."
I mean, seriously. How awesome is she?
I think Kerrigan wins this due to a combination of low angst, high evilness effectivity quotient (SHE WON at the end of the game), and most importantly, impending return to my computer screen. Yahey!
