Rules:
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better ! If I already know you well, expect the questions may be a little more intimate!
3. You WILL update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
1.) YO! What's for dinner tonight?
Honestly, I don't know. There are just so many possibilities. It would be nice if it was free, or maybe something I could grow myself. Something delicious. Hmmm, you know what? I have an idea. I think that for dinner we should have pumpkin! I can grow it myself, and it's the most delicious American dish ever.
2.) Is that really what she said?
Hmmm... why is this so hard?!
3.) Are YOU a real doctor...from America?
I'm not a doctor! I've never been to America!
Mel... this cheese is burning me!
4.) What's the meaning of life?
Survival and temporal success
* ...to live every day like it is your last and to do your best at everything that comes before you
* ...to be always satisfied
* ...to live, go to school, work, and die
* ...to participate in natural human evolution, or to contribute to the gene pool of the human race
* ...to advance technological evolution, or to actively develop the future of intelligent life
* ...to compete or co-operate with others
* ...to destroy others who harm you, or to practice nonviolence and nonresistance
* ...to gain and exercise power
* ...to leave a legacy, such as a work of art or a book
* ...to eat
* ...to ensure that all others after you remember your name.
* ...to prepare for death
* ...to spend life in the pursuit of happiness, maybe not to obtain it, but to pursue it relentlessly.
* ...to produce offspring through sexual reproduction (alike to participating in evolution)
* ...to protect and preserve one's kin, clan, or tribe (akin to participating in evolution)
* ...to seek freedom, either physically, mentally or financially
* ...to observe the ultimate fate of humanity to the furthest possible extent
* ...to seek happiness and flourish, experience pleasure or celebrate
* ...to survive, including the pursuit of immortality through scientific means (see life extension)
* ...to attempt to have many sexual conquests (as in Arthur Schopenhauer's will to procreate)
* ...to have sex with your spouse everyday
* ...to find and take over all free space in this "game" called life
* ...to seek and find beauty
* ...to kill or be killed
* ...No point. Since having a point is a condition of living human consciousness. Animals do not need a point to live or exist. It is more of an affliction of consciousness that there are such things as points, a negative side to evolutionary development for lack of better words.
Wisdom and knowledge
* ...to master and know as many things as possible
* ...to be without questions, or to keep asking questions
* ...to expand one's perception of the world
* ...to explore, to expand beyond our frontiers
* ...to learn from one's own and others' mistakes
* ...to seek truth, knowledge, understanding, or wisdom
* ...to understand and be mindful of creation or the cosmos
* ...to lead the world towards a desired situation
* ...to satisfy the natural curiosity felt by humans about life
Ethical
* ...to express compassion
* ...to follow the "Golden Rule"
* ...to give and receive love
* ...to work for justice and freedom
* ...to live in peace with yourself and each other, and in harmony with our natural environment (see utopia)
* ...to protect humanity, or more generally the environment
* ...to serve others, or do good deeds
* ...to leave the world in a better condition than when you came into it
* ...to live an honorable life and die an honorable death
Religious and spiritual
* ...to find perfect love and a complete expression of one's humanness in a relationship with God
* ...to achieve a supernatural connection within the natural context
* ...to achieve enlightenment and inner peace
* ...to become like God, or divine
* ...to glorify God, and enjoy Him forever
* ...to experience personal justice (i.e. to be rewarded for goodness)
* ...to experience existence from an infinite number of perspectives in order to expand the consciousness of all there is (i.e. to seek objectivity)
* ...to be a filter of creation between heaven and hell
* ...to produce useful structure in the universe over and above consumption (see net creativity)
* ...to reach Heaven in the afterlife
* ...to seek and acquire virtue, to live a virtuous life
* ...to turn fear into joy at a constant rate achieving on literal and metaphorical levels: immortality, enlightenment, and atonement
* ...to understand and follow the "Word of God"
* ...to discover who you are
* ...to resolve all problems that one faces, or to ignore them and attempt to fully continue life without them, or to detach oneself from all problems faced (see Buddhism)
Philosophical
* ...to give life meaning
* ...to participate in the chain of events which has led from the creation of the universe until its possible end (either freely chosen or determined, this is a subject widely debated amongst philosophers)
* ...to know the meaning of life
* ...to achieve self-actualisation
* ...all possible meanings have some validity (see existentialism)
* ...life in itself has no meaning, for its purpose is an opportunity to create that meaning, therefore:
o ...to die
o ...to simply live until one dies (there is no universal or celestial purpose)
o ...nature taking its course (the wheel of time keeps on turning)
o ...whatever you see you see, as in "projection makes perception"
o ...there is no purpose or meaning whatsoever (see nihilism)
o ...life may actually not exist, or may be illusory (see solipsism or nihilism)
o ...to contemplate "the meaning of the end of life"
Other
* ...to find and follow an artistic passion
* ...to contribute to collective meaning ("we" or "us") without having individual meaning ("I" or "me")
* ...to find a purpose, a "reason" for living that hopefully raises the quality of one's experience of life, or even life in general
* ...to participate in the inevitable increase in entropy of the universe
* ...to make conformists' lives miserable (see nonconformism)
* ...to make life as difficult as possible for others (i.e. to compete)
* ...that it ends.
5.) Why are Yellow trucks actually orange?
So, here's the deal. Once upon a time there was this company, you see? And they wanted to create trucks for industrial use. So they built their first truck. It was a wonderful little truck, they named it Tommy. Tommy, however, was soon to depart down a road for the worst. Tommy was still unpainted and grey, all the other cars and trucks would laugh at him and call him names like "Pinto" and "Crown Victoria". Tommy couldn't take it anymore! So one day, Tommy went to his friend paint-pusher Steve, who sold paint to new cars behind his house. Tommy bought the brightest, most colorful color he could find, yellow. Tommy used yellow day after day, whenever he was alone, and soon, he himself became yellow. Everyone loved him! Tommy was relieved. But, this didn't stop Tommy from using the Yellow. Tommy would keep using the paint for three years. Finally, Tommy was found drunken in the gutter one day, rust covering his once shiny yellow coat. The company who built Tommy was very sad. They took Tommy and tried to get him better. But, they coul not help him. Tommy soon died of rust poisoning and herpes. To this day, in honor of their beloved Tommy, whenever this company would create a truck, they would paint it orange, like the consuming rust that destroyed their love. But, in honor of his struggle, they would print "Yellow" on the side of the truck, as both a tribute to Tommy and a warning to all other vehicles. |

Firstly, the new layout is weird. Does not compute.
Secondly, I think secondly is an awesome word since sexondly is a totally legit typo thereof.
Lastly, I don't just get unrestful sleep when I get drunk; I get unrestful sleep that has a max of about until 7 am. Fun.
Anyway, what can I write about?
Let's see. Christmas is quickly approaching. I'm feeling less confident about my gifts. I'm trying to suppliment someone's gift, because, well, I just am.
I'm excited about driving down to LA to... yes, duh. And to go to London as well. London, eh? Yes, Steph. I mean London. Good.
Flowers are weird for Christmas, right? I feel like getting flowers for someone. Red ones. Not roses. Christmassy poinsettias. They're kind of leafy and formal, though. Eh, I don't know, haha. We'll see, I suppose.
But, London. Thumbs-up for international travel with Ms. Stephers. It's really awesome to share that kind of thing with someone. It's even more awesome that someone is Steph. For as much as I/we disliked certain things about China, I talk about it in a positive light pretty often. And I'm pretty sure it's because Steph was there.
Oh, and, fuck distance, by the way. Just thought I'd toss that out there.
I have to much apathy for some things, and care too much about other things, I think. I guess to most people I either come off too extreme - either weakly or too strong. I tend not to really care when I don't think the person will be a worthwhile friend or whatnot. I'm okay at meeting people and being courdial, but I think I'm usually kind of anti-social with people who I doubt I'll see again. And it's a problem. Ranty ranty rant. Whatever, haha.
Defensive driving class today. Hopefully no hangover, haha. Nah, there's none. I need water, though. A lot of water. And hot chocolate. Mmmm, hot chocolate.
Oh, and Kristyn's friends are cool. Cristal and I were talking about Barenaked Ladies since I was playing their discography last night; she's a fan, so woot for that. Emily and I were being goofy. We were talking and making stupid sex jokes, then she calls Kristyn over and says "Erik and I were totally just flirting, we had like 9 moments." Haha, last night was fun. Kristyn invited some random guy over, who obviously got along with me, but I was underhand messing with him. Basically, Kristyn invited him over so she wouldn't have to talk to him again. Girls are weird sometimes, haha. I gave drunk love-guru advice to the girls, because, you know, I'm such an expert. Everyone thought I was right, though, and I was pretty confident in my drunk self as well, haha. Basically, I told them that if a guy doesn't act like I have in certain situations, then he doesn't care enough about them. I didn't mention that it was all based off my own rational with Steph, and I don't think anyone thought I was either. So, now I just look like someone who understands things, haha. I'd hope I understand guys, though. You know, being one and all.
Anyway, this is really fucking ranty. I think I'm done. I would like to point out that Marcy Playground has perhaps the most beautifully imaged phrases ever. In Sex and Candy, the line: "Yeah, there she was, like disco lemonaide."
Disco fucking lemonaide. I love it, I don't know why. It's some pitcher of sparkly, mostly-pink but also kind of rainbowy lemonaide. It's delicious happiness in liquid form. I love it.
And I love you. You know. I don't even know.The current human condition...: Disco Lemonaide |

I probably woke up about 10 times last night. My mind was going crazy. I swear I made up some board game and played both sides of it. That's a good sign I'm actually sick, I always have weird thought patters like that when I'm sick and sleeping (or trying to sleep.) I hope it gets better over the day, it's a long day anyway and I definitely can't miss any of these classes. Speaking of which, i'm definitely leaving now, I have a quiz in comp. physics. Woot. |

On nos!
Oh god no! Mac and their evil Dawinian ways! MAy they burn in hell for subliminally forcing everyone to believe in evolutionism!
By the by, this is the site I need help hacking, haha. I have the IP to their server, and some other more useless crap, any clean methods of file browsing you can think of? I want to swap out images and whatnot. Apparently the power of Satan compels me. These fucking hypocrites are the biggest hatemongers I've ever seen. And it's scary, because there are a lot of blind people who probably read that and believe everything it says. WTF, I'm no anti-Christian terrorism goon, but if they're going to accuse us, why not actually show them what it means? Heh. |

Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play.
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 20 songs that play.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
And no cheating and pasting the lyrics into a search engine!
