ammos doing the asking.
1. When did you first work out your sexuality was "different" from the norm and how come?
It started at Brighton Pride, back in the early summer of 1996 I think. I volunteered to help with the security stewarding as I had experience in that area from Greenbelt and the organising committee were desperate for help, from anyone with suitable experience. I spent the mornign thinkign this is all very nice, the people are enjoying themselves. I met a St. John member I knew - Terry Wing of Brighton's Regency division there who was surpised to see me, but understood when I explined and said simply, whatever happens hppens - and what you like you like. Not long thereafter a cute boy walked past and I thought "If I was gay, he'd be cute.". At the end of the summer I made it to uni, and once there realised that wasn't attracted to girls, I was attracted to humans. My best friend and I came out in the first few weeks, both for the first time, and we almost literally went to our first LGB society meeting to hold each other's hand. By the next year I had been elected chair, and it's all downhill from there. ;)
2. If money morals time and space were no object what would be the one thing you'd like to do? Why?
I'd like to have dyed my hair red while I still had plenty. Because it's going fast now.
3. Yes/no/maybe/drunk.... the last time you thought about this who would you put top of each.......
But the whole point of the game is to not discuss the answers outside it... But they're Drunk No Maybe and Yes in that order.
4. If changing things about us was possible would you change you to not have aspagers? Why to whatever the answer
Sometime I think I'd like to, but a friend who's much more perceptive than most says I wouldn't be nearly the same without it. If I could still be me, maybe yes. Why? I've accidently hurt so many people and I understand so little, so often. I'd like to actually know what's going on sometimes.
5. If you could solve just one world problem what would it be? Why?
Gross human stupidity. Because it needs it.
And as a late submission:endis_ni.
1) How did you get into first aiding?
I wanted to do a first aid course, just so I'd know what to do 'just in case', and I signed up for a public one with my local St John unit. It took 10 weeks, one night a week, to do and we learnt vast amounts - afterwards I thought - "I quite like this, I'll stick about" and joined the unit. That was 13 years ago.
2) Chocolate- "meh, it's all right" or "Yes please!"?
Yes please!
3) What was the last LRP character you actually got to play for a whole day?
Probrably my Waypoint NPC warrior (to a Dagdan shaman) - Ramada. He's quite fun to play, quiet but lethal and a competent nursemaid to his ailing and elderly charge. As a PC, Ardal Jingois-Arteman (nee O'Driscoll) at Malestrom for an entire weekend last year. He's possibly going to get retired though.
4) What's your favourite toothpaste?
I don't often use it, but I like Colgate Blue Minty Gel
5) Being as how we've only met a couple of times, what kind of impression would you want me to form of you?
Tall, Balding and with glasses will do for a start. ;)
And of course, here's how to get me to interview you:
First you need to leave me a comment saying, "Interview me" or similar.
Secondly I will respond by asking you five questions of a varyingly intimate and/or creepily personal nature.
Next you shall update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
Then you will include either this or a similar explanation and an offer to interview anyone else in the post.
Finally, when others comment asking to be interviewed, you too will ask them five questions.
