when did you read your first book larger than 200pages
I know right, keeps me up at night (haha, actually litnet keeps me up at night)
when did you first realise you had a psychosis, that is, the love of writing?
I was 9 when I wrote my first poem. But I have wanted to be a writer since 11. When I read the first book I have ever loved. It was called 'Champion Dog, Prince Tom.'
Same question?
mine was a little older, I was in grade 8 and wrote a short story for school. The teacher raved about it and it felt so easy, so she asked if I could write another one. To my surprise I didn't kick up a fuss (unusual for a grade 8 boy to take on extra work). So I wrote another one, gave it to the teacher and 6 months later I found out I had won the local high school short story comp. So ever since, i've been reading and writing, my mum was one of those that went overboard when she saw a glimmer of talent and made me read a page of the dictionary a night. I had to remember 4 words from that page, at which point she would quiz me quite emphatically i might add 24 hrs later. I still pick up the dictionary every now and then.... definitely the true definition of a psychosis! :)
why did you chose to write what you wrote?
I didn't choose it...it chose me.
are you on the path you've chosen?
Well no actually, I've slipped off the road and into the ditch.
How chaotic is you life?
So chaotic, some days I can't find myself.
are you a good actor?
I am an incredible actor. I have been acting since first grade.
Do you stammer when you talk?
No.
Do you like sweet red wine?
i like all alcohol....etoh makes my world go around (like literally, its called virtigo - hahaha)
have you ever had to sleep with your eyes open
No, but twenty years ago, I went away on a group holiday. 10 of us sharing a 3 bedroom apartment. Argh! there was this one woman, she would sleep with one eye wide open... It scared the living daylights out of me, so much so, that I stayed awake all night and slept in the cinema the next day.:redface:
Do you sleep with the light on?
no, for fear of getting bashed by the girl next to me (i would like to use this as my forum for awareness of violence against men hahahaha)
have you ever been robbed while you were in the house?
No, but I interrupted a robery... The robers tried to poison my dogs... (Which they achieved). I rushed them to the vet and $1300 later saved my pooches. After reporting it to the police, they claimed that, that is the way the robers get in now... Poison the dog and go through the back yard. That was 17yrs ago... No doubt the robers have come up with something new.
Same question?
yeah, i was upstairs having a shower and had only thumb locked the security screen. mongrels broke the screen, put their fingers through and unlocked it, then, stole my ps3, computer, games.... $2500 worth. On top of that, cheeky rotters used one of my uni bags to put their loot in and used my shoes to leave the screen door open as they they made a clean get away.
have you ever had a run in with the law?
Yes.
Have you ever become deeply depressed just from reading a rather depressing novel?
no, i'm not a person predisposed to getting 'majorly' depressed from a situation (albeit, i haven't experienced everything so the statement is a little mute). but i've read depressing books and haven't come out of it depressed.
have you ever wondered why a character in a story can mimic your personality so much, that it becomes quite creepy?
Yeah, I thought so when I read the Bell Jar.
What character would you date?
When he was older... Pip from Great expectations, he and I lived the same lives.
Would you eat in front of a poor person?
Yes I eat in front of my family every day.
Does Estella deserve Pip?
What song comes to mind when I say "Growing Up"?
i feel unloved, no one wants to ask me a question :(
so i'll answer the greatest question in the universe and my answer is..... 42 (such an unbelievable read, obviously high as a kite when he wrote it, but it is magnificent)
if you had a babble fish in your ear, what language would you NOT want to be translated
I'd hate to have English Re-Translated in my ear..that could get rather annoying.
What lyrics/songs come to mind when I say, "Bittersweet."
21 Guns - Geen Day. It suits with the social justice unit we are doing at school.
What is your first thought when you see a butterfly?
'stupid bug'
what is your first thought when you see an exam paper
"Oh, easy peasy!"
Do you believe everything everyone says on the internet?
Not really. Well, I don't believe things people say in real life.
Personally, I find it a lot easier to be honest online, to people I don't know.
I don't believe what people say is always the truth, however I believe there is truly a reason as to why they say it.
Best to just go along with it.
Do you like large crowds?
'scoffs' no
do you believe that a ventriloquist has simply found an outlet for his multiple personality disorder
dammit beat me.... just like your mum!!!!
and the answer to your question is I LOVE LARGE CROWDS.... so many different personalities to watch, great places for ideas.
same question as my last post
I believe ventriloquists are uniquely talented, even though what they do freaks me out.
How long have you avoided doing something you didn't want to do?
Do I have to write all that??? Don't they have a mechanism where they can just come to know what all I know! ;)
What's your passion in life?
my passion is writing and medicine... (wow think about that... you could say my passion is is 'life'... in writing I bring imagination to life and in medicine i try to preserve life.... very cool!!)
does anything in your future scare you?
yes the environment!
(liked this....I bring imagination to life and in medicine i try to preserve life.... :) )

Same question?
I think it's all blown out of proportion.
