    Happy birthday, friend. I know I'm not the only one of the opinion that you're one of the best members around here.

    Certainly not, I am also pretty sure that I'm one of the best. So, there are at least two of us who share that opinion.

    Happy Birthday Pip! And I second (or is it third?) Mutatis' opinion!
    "I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche

    oh, oh, happy birthday!
    One has to laugh before being happy, because otherwise one risks to die before having laughed.

    Happy Birthday, Pip!

    An interview with OrphanPip:

    *Why are we doing this interview thing?*
    Because I didn't do it last year, despite saying I would do it by PM.

    *So, how old are you?*
    25

    *What is the best birthday present you've ever received?*
    It is hard to say what was the best. I'm sure it was shiny, new, and quickly forgotten.

    *Are you male or female? *
    Still male.

    *If you could build an entire planet from scratch, what would it look, sound and smell like?*
    It would be nice if it was a sort of Star Trek like communal Utopia, and it would be nicer if it smelled of bacon.

    *What was the inspiration for your LitNet username?*
    It's still Great Expectations

    *Which countries have you visited?*
    USA and Canada

    *Which languages do you speak?*
    French and English fluently. German poorly. Old English rudimentary.

    *What is the last thing that you have done that you have been really proud of?*
    Let my mother win an argument, even though she's wrong.

    *If you could live somewhere different, where would it be and why?*
    It's still Paris, because I don't want to learn another language.

    *Do you have any pets?*
    Yes, a rabbit and cat.

    *What makes you happy?*

    The company of others.

    *What's your favourite song for singing in the shower?*
    For the good of all, I've opted to never sing.

    *Which actor should play you in a movie based on your life?*
    Someone much better looking than me, and taller.

    Who is your favourite Beatle?
    George.

    *How do you like your coffee? *
    Au lait.

    *Given the option, what animal would you choose to be?*
    Neanderthal, because they're close to human, unfortunately I'd be extinct.

    When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up?
    A naturalist or veterinarian.

    *How did you meet your significant other?*
    Through school.

    *What was the best day of your life?*
    Hopefully it's still to come.

    *What are you naturally good at? (Skills, abilities, gifts etc.)*
    School.

    *What is the one thing you must do before you die?*
    Finish school.

    *If you had to teach something, what would you teach?*
    I'd probably try to stick to something I have formal education in, like biology or literature. Or maybe I'd teach Phys. Ed. just to make all that time in school seem even more useless.

    *If you were to be stuck at a particular time in your life, which one would you choose and why?*
    21, it's a perfect age.

    *Do you get tired living life?*
    Downer question.

    *If you were a king/queen for a day, what would you do?*
    Instigate class warfare, or abuse my position for personal gain.

    *What’s the stupidest forum argument you’ve ever had?*
    Oh, any exchange with cacian probably.

    *Which book are you reading at the moment?*
    Five Women who Loved Love.

    Who were some of the nicest people you met on LitNet?
    Everyone is fairly nice, even the not so nice aren't completely unbearable.

    *What era do you find most of the books you read are from?*
    1660-1750 and contemporary criticism.

    *Favorite TV shows?*
    Anything totally garbage, like Degrassi or stuff on the CW. Not reality shows though.

    *Which Forum members would you like to meet in person?*
    Anyone, I'm not opposed to meeting people.

    *Are you a winter or summer?*
    An autumn. I'm not sure I understand this question.

    *Last words you said out loud?*
    See you tomorrow.

    *Last person you hugged/kissed?*
    My mother.

    *What do you do (for a living) to be able to keep your LitNet addiction going? And are you happy with your chosen profession?*
    At the moment, scholarships.

    *What is your most outstanding feature?*
    Probably my eyes.

    *If you could change one thing about the way you look, what would that be?*
    Like I could choose one thing, lord I'm too neurotic to tackle this question.

    *What book would you recommend to others of all types and ages as a must read?*
    Jane Austen's Emma, because it is the greatest novel in the English language.

    *Are you gellin'?*
    No, I hate Dr. Scholl's shoes, they look terrible.

    *Something you want to forget but you never can?*
    That one time, with that one guy, in that one hotel room. And all the other times too.

    *Are you mostly happy with life or are you still in pursuit?*
    I am mostly happy.

    Tell us something scandalous about yourself.
    Nothing PG about me is scandalous, I have some dirty stories that aren't forum appropriate though.

    *What question would you like to ask to the person to be interview after you?
    What's your signature dance move?
