You know You seem to be bringing up THe Crier quite a bit and since I am the crier does that mean I get an extra vote?????Quote:
The final decision as to who will be interviewed is up to the Lit-Net Town crier board of interviewers.

Hehe, you do Night! After all, you are the head deputy crier.
And I am really sorry that the interview is getting a bit late. Actually, I am having a busy routine now a days...

This years (10th grade) I am doing Geometry, and if my parents say I have to do any more math I'm going to throw a good tantrum.
Vintage - Welcome back. How are you? How was your move.
Thank you, Virgil. I am quite well, and the move was great. I love it here so far, although I miss friends a great deal. It's extremely upscale and materialistic though, so I'll have to work at keeping things in perspective.
Because, silly old furry Grover my dear, as a bonifide male I can say for certain that the male ego is highly overrated! :lol: My Doctor, whom I trust more than anyone I know is a woman, and by golly she's better than any male doctor I've ever had! She listens, she takes enough time to actually try to pinpoint the problem, and she cares enough to follow up by stopping me in the hall and asking how I'm doing, if I'm there to pick up medicine or something. So there! :nod:Quote:

Forum questions
~How are you today?
Mm, remarkably motivated. I feel like I could get things done today, if I weren't answering interview questions. Still, I must make time for my fans.~snobby sniff~
~How did you decide on your username?
The very first time I formed an online account for anything was during a childhood Robin Hood phase. Since "RobinHood" was already taken, I tacked a "3000" on the end just for kicks, and it's stuck since.
~Why did you initially join the lit-net?
To riddle the International Library of Poetry with all manner of unsavory projectiles. The rest, as they say, is in the recent past.
~What would you say is the best aspect of the forum?
Perhaps the relative sophistication of the forumers, although exceptions naturally exist. All the same, it's astonishing to me how well most of them/you behave compared to the rest of the Internet. Let us say that LitNet is my Paradise Found.
~What new feature will you like to see in this forum?
MORE GIRLS!!
In all seriousness, so far, I think that LitNet has some very thorough features. The only thing that might come to mind is more PM space. When you get flooded by fan mail as much as I do, it gets more and more challenging to sort through it with only so much room to work with. :cool:
~How long on average do you daily spend on the litnet?
Too long, but I would estimate somewhere between "More than eating" and "less than sleeping."
~Tell us about each person mentioned in your signature, and why they are important to you or were they your archery trainers? (suggested by RJ Bilbophil and Shea)
Well, lesse now.Rubber Ducky, for those who have been here a while, started as a continuation of Night's FAILED attempts at magic, turning me from the semi-humble Emerald Archer into a part granted me to take on a variety of forms.
Green Arrow was my first avatar and is my favorite comic book hero of all time. Everyone seems to hearken back to this one whenever I change my avy, so ol' Ollie's my stand-by "default" avatar.
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew was my chosen form for the Muppet Wars, since I gravitated towards him for his intellectual sensibilities.
Bill Nye was my avatar briefly for much the same reason, although I can't remember why I changed my avatar. Maybe I wanted a real person in my avy for once.
Obi-Wan Kenobi probably arose out of a long -time bath toy. I have subsequently made use of the shapeshifting abilities she series of Star Wars allusions compounded with avatar boredom. He's my favorite Jedi, barely beating out the incredible Yoda.
I became Fox McCloud briefly in order to call in air strikes against the Amazon Queen. He's also my favorite character to play as in Super Smash Brothers: Melee (if you don't know what that is, ask a gamer).
Finally, my current avatar, the Disney Robin Hood, is there so the ladies of the Forum can call me Foxy :brow:. I also think it's a nice canine symmetry with my friend Virgil's wolf avatar.
Personal Questions
~How old are you?
Do the research; you'll find it, I'm sure. :p
~How would you describe yourself, your personality?
I like to think I'm pretty hard to offend, for one thing, and that I have respect and sympathy for others. I'm both nerdy and geeky, with a dash of dork from time to time. I'm a little on the cynical side, I believe, but I think I know how to have fun from time to time. Add mischief, optimism, and humor to taste, and it sounds more or less like me. The positives, anyway. As for the negatives, feel free to PM me. I genuinely insist on knowing of any earnest opinions.
~What do you do in RL? Student, work?
Student and work-computer programming and secondary school.
~You seem very smart in lots of different fields. What do you want to do after finishing the school, other than being a writer? (suggested by Virgil, Nightshade and Papayahed)
Well, my plans were for some time to be an engineer, but at this juncture, I'm not really quite certain. Math and science are what I'm good at, but writing's what I enjoy most. Any suggestions you folks have would be great.
~Would you to tell us a bit about your various hobbies?
Well, besides writing, I play the piano and I golf and bicycle from time to time. I also make the occasional film, either for class or for the community. One of these days, I want to pick up archery, fencing, or kung fu, and I also think it'd be fun to take up cricket.
~Do you like sports, if so do you play sports yourself?
I don't particularly lean TOWARDS sports, per se, although I do play a mean game of dodgeball.
~ On February 26, 2006, you made the following post:
My question is: was your use of the phrase "the States" simply a clever ruse on your part to convince your fellow forumers that you do not, in fact, live in the United States? (suggested by Basil)Quote:
I felt the same way when I went on a summer trip to the States and saw the library in the Vanderbilt mansion. Tan increíble...
Where's the fun in answering that? Hmm? Take it as you will, because I like my secrets.;) There IS a reason for my speaking Spanish on occasion, though.
~So if you don't live in USA, then where do you live and what do you like/dislike about the place?
EARTH is about as specific as I'm willing to say outright. I like the water, the water's nice here. Europa's indoor pools are cleaner, but I prefer outdoor heated to indoor non-heated. The problem is all the problems with humanity start here, too. Did you know that some parties actually spend money to find out which sandal is the "flip" and which is the "flop"? Where's the resource management there?? You couldn't divert the funds and the brainpower to curing cancer???
~What prevents you from sharing your photo in LitNet Photo Album thread? Anonymity and mystery? (suggested by Grace)
I like being enigmatic."enigmatic" is a fun word to use. Plus, all of the descriptions people have fielded of me thus far are too much fun to read, especially when so many of them peg me as handsome and dashing.
~Have you ever dressed up as robin hood in real life? (suggested by Nightshade)
You'd better believe it. :cool:
~What got you interested in Robin hood to begin with? (suggested by Nightshade)
I'm not quite sure. I think I liked how he had the fashion sense of Peter Pan, but didn't need that silly concern with flying and youth. Plus I climbed in trees and swung on ropes a lot as a child, and Robin Hood was the only famous hero I could think of who I could picture doing much of the same.
~How long have you been fasinated by Robin hood? (suggested by Nightshade)
YEARS. Probably around 6-8 years now.
~Which version of Robin hood is the your favourite? (suggested by Nightshade)
Errol Flynn, followed extremely closely by Cary Elwes in Men In Tights.
~Do you have a personal hero, or someone you look up to? By your posts, it seems that you think that you are a hero yourself. Why do you have a hero complex? (suggested by Madhuri)
Well, I look up to myself a lot, since I don't have a deity to fit that purpose. I guess that ties in with the hero complex all right. It's hard to choose a hero, since so many are so flawed. Einstein was a great mind, but he was a bit of a playboy, and not always considerate of his wives. I don't know, I've never been much for modeling myself after others very specifically. If you want a role model, though, I guess it's fair to say I try to do what Superman would do, sans the hyper-patriotism.
To Be Continued!
Rest Of Robin's Interview
Favourites
~Tell us about your favourite author.
Michael Crichton, I believe, although it changes from time to time.
~And your favourite book?
Recently, The Great Train Robbery, by the above.
~What kind of music do you enjoy?
Oldies, 80s soundtracks and dance, movie themes, big band swing.basically everything from the middle 60-odd years of the 20th century.
~Which are your favourite bands/singers/composers/etc.?
John Williams is my favorite contemporary composer, by far (did you know he still does his scores by hand??), although Danny Elfman does pretty good work. Liszt is my favorite composer to perform, so far. Bands and singers, the list goes on and on.Chuck Berry, Stevie Wonder, the Beach Boys, Billy Joel, Chicago, Orleans, Buddy Holly, Huey Lewis and the News, and of course, (as Pendragon and Virgil know) THE EAGLES.
~Tell us something about your favourite movie.
"Use the Force, Luke." "I sense that something terrible has happened." "I find your lack of faith disturbing." "I haven't heard the name Obi-Wan since, oh, before you were born." "Mos Eisley Spaceport. The most wretched hive of scum and villainy in the Outer Rim territories." "C'mon kid, let's blow this thing so we can go home!"
~Your favourite game in the Games sub-forum?
I like just about all of the games that Pendragon starts, although lately, I'm partial to the "What is the image you have in mind." thread.
~What is your favourite part of the forum?
The "New Posts" part :p.
~Amazons or Dastardly Stans?
Come now. You know the answer. Well, for those newcomers who haven't heard of this ongoing war.DASTARDLY STANS, HOO-RAH!!
~What is your favourite smilie? (suggested by Nightshade)
Take a look at the bottom of my signature, and you'll see them. Exchange the numbers at the end of those two that are close together (I didn't have space to reprint the whole URL).
And now, the most important question of them all
~How do you like your turnips?
Flying through the air. Moving targets are more challenging.
Thank you very much for the interview, Robin! :D
You're welcome!!
That was very interesting, although, of course, not thoroughly enlightening...the great Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest still remains "enigmatic."
Thank you Robin! Great questions, everybody!
Personally, I think of you more as a counsellor than a hero :D Just kidding...
Great interview Robin and Pensy :thumbs_up
The following had me rolling in laughter. :lol:

Great Interview Robin!!! I was just at the Post office today. They have Superhero stamps now - Green arrow included. I think. I know I've seen in your avatar.
Oh you don't want to condem him to either of those. Engineering is good. I wonder if he'll be a mechanical or chemical? :DQuote:

Pensive, you're doing a great job, keep it up, another great interview. Even if the subject was being a bit secretive, you still managed to get quite a bit out of him.
Robin, personally I think you should definately keep up the writing, even if you decide to take your career into a different direction, keep spending time with it. The three stories you've submitted for the competition are all of a very high quality, . Each one tackless a totaly different subject, which shows your willingness to experiment. :) You definitely have talent.
How about Electrical or Civil? There are other fields in Engineering than Mechanical and Chemical, papaya and Virgil. :DQuote:

That interview just made my day, Robin and Pensive! Loved to laugh out loud when reading about Robin imploring for more female litNetters :D
Please keep these interviews going! :nod:
Ah Robin, always the entertainer :D . Excellent Interview!! Bravo!!
Great interview Robin, cryptic and charming :lol:
Pensive, thank you for all your hard work in organising and orchestrating these interviews :)
Oh, it is no problem. The pleasure is mine too as I am having a lot of fun reading the interviews. :)
Oooh another interview! So great! Thanks Robin for devoting some of your precious VIP time to us ;) ! and thanks pensive for being our interviewer!!! :banana:

My significant other is taking the PE exam in a month, and is also marketing his first novel and working on his second, so I'm thinking you all could start a new trend - Novel Engineering, or a new genre . . . . :lol:
In all seriousness, it was wonderful reading your interview, Robin. Thank you . . . "foxy" :)
..."three"? There's only been two completed eliminations so far. Was I that obvious in the last one?Quote:

And actually, there's presumably 19 official major fields of engineering.
