Side note:

Maddie and Toni, I love both your new avatars ! .
I so much wanted to see The House of the Flying Daggers, but I missed it .[/QUOTE]


Oh wow. Thanks! Please do watch that, cookie! You will not be disappointed. Actually, my avatar is from "The Banquet" the Chinese version of Hamlet. But the actress is the same-the ever lovely Zhang Ziyi..

[Laindessiel]

[Nightshade]

At last the AimusSage interview

1. First off hello and how are you?
Howdy and good morning! I am good enough to know that I feel good

Lit net questions
2. How did you choose your User name and what does it mean?
That’s a long story! But to summarize: I used to be a space duster, and then I became Aimus Sage. It is that simple. It’s actually short for His Royal Highness the Benevolent and Just King Aimus the first. Ruler of the Infinite Universe, Mars, and the nation of the Glorious Turnip But that was too long and so I settled on just Aimus Sage instead.


3. How did you join the litnet? And how long have you been a member?
Let’s see, I joined by registering, Don’t we all? I’ve been a member for about two years. Give or take a few months. I’m too lazy to look it up.

4. As one the members with the highest post counts how would you describe the lit net?
I would describe it as a place with lots of unique people. It is a place where books are read, where stories are told, where friendships are made, but above all else, it’s a place on the net where a spam monkey like me can get an over the top post count by playing too much word association.

5. What would you say is the best and worst aspects of the lit net?
The best aspect are the people, I know it’s a cliché but it would get boring really fast if I was the only one around, although if that were the case, I would run around naked

6. Do you plan to change your avatar?
Never… well, unless… no, never mind, I’m never changing it.

7. . If you could do anything with the forum what would it be?
I would make it compulsory for all to dedicate one post each day to turnips everywhere.

8. What does a goblin have to do with pie?
Have you ever seen A goblin eating a pie? It’s not a pretty sight.

9. How alike is your RL personality to your lit net one?
What is a RL personality? If you are referring to what I’m like when I’m not being me, it’s pretty much similar with a few distinct differences.

Personal RL Questions

10. What is your date of birth?
The day I was born, I would recon, a long time ago, in a galaxy not so far away, I was born in the year of the boar, if that doesn’t answer the question, it’s November 17th.

11. How would you describe yourself?
By using words and language. I guess I would describe myself as a shy hobbit that loves turnips in a way that’s entirely healthy.

12. . What do you do in real life? Student, work?
Yes, I do both. I’m a student by day and a student by night, but sometimes I do a little work to cover expenses.

13. Could you tell us a little more about what you do?
Of course I can do that. Lets see, I study International Business and Management, which basically means I spend all my time listening to smart people with smart comments on the economics, marketing, logistics, financial aspects of doing business in an international environment, it is pretty straightforward really.

14. Would you to tell us a bit about your various hobbies?
Sure, I play Football, not that I’m that good, but I like it. I also like to build wooden ship models, although I’m slacking a bit. Reading is obviously something I like to do. Computer games, and, very recently, learning to play the guitar, so far I’ve only managed to get some sort of sound out of the instrument.

15. . Other than football do you like and play any sports?
I like many sports, Tennis, Rugby, Golf, Field Hockey, Ice Hockey; Cycling. I watch all those sports on TV, also athletics. I don’t play other sports beside football, unless you count running as a sport. I should actually go to a gym someday, but it’s something I keep pushing forward. Also, in the summer, I cycle a lot.

16. Since you usually like to drive fast, have you ever had an accident yet ? (suggested by Cookie)
No, never ever, and I like to drive fast, but that doesn’t mean excessive speeds. I’m really a responsible driver, I just really hate people that drive below the speed limit, if the limit is 80 KM/h then drive 80 KM/H! Today I had another weirdo like that, on the motorway. It’s a 120-km/h road, why try to overtake a car that drives 100 with 110???? ARRRRGGHHH so annoying… Not that I get angry or anything, I’ve never experienced road rage myself. Just like to complain about the slow movers.

17. Do you like to travel?
Yes.
18. Where have you been and where would you like to go?
I’ve been to France, USA, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, UK and recently, The Dominican Republic, I would like to go the all the other places in the world I’ve yet to visit, like Australia, China, India, Russia, Canada, Spain, Ireland etc, etc, etc.
19. If you could be anywhere at this moment where would you be?
Oh, anyplace is fine if I’m close to the people I like. Ok, so maybe not any place, but I’m not that picky. Just a nice place, nothing too dirty or having bad weather or anything.

20. What about your own country? What do you like about where you live?
It’s actually a very well managed country, up to a point. Things work the way they are supposed to work. Good infrastructure. Proper bicycle lanes. The summers tend to be nice, I also enjoy the people, in a way, but I also dislike them, in a way, but that’s okay. I like them just the same.

21. What is your favourite season?
Summer, no wait, autumn, nono, it’s winter, or maybe spring. Ok, it’s probably summer but I do know why. That is, I know why, but I’m not telling.

22. Do you have a personal hero, or someone you look up to?
No I don’t, unless I can nominate myself, but that’s just silly.

23. For all the singles of the Lit-net, marital status?
Not married, I might even be single, but I’m not quite sure myself

24. What is your most prized possession, and what is its significance?(suggested by zanna)
Good question, which means I don’t really know, but I think it might just be the first ship model I build, it’s a horrible thing really, and technically it isn’t even mine anymore, but it’s just something I’m proud of, because it was so difficult to build but I stuck to it, and finished it.

It’s either that, or my unique Iron Maiden memorabilia.

[Nightshade]

Turnips, Mars and Iron Maiden
That’s quite correct. Not necessary in that order though. Was that a question?

25. When did your love-affair with turnips start? Did you inherit it from you parents?( suggested by toni)
Don’t tell my parents about the turnips!

26. How often do you eat turnips?
As often as is humanly impossible.

27. Why Mars especially? And how long have you been an admirer of the planet?
I have this gravitational pull toward Mars, I always end up on mars no matter what I do, no matter what test I take. It’s quite funny, and I like it that way. It has to do with the Martians. You see, when they found me in a test tube, they did something to my brain that makes me gravitate toward Mars. I don’t mind though, it’s a great place.

28. If you were to be someone other than King of the nation of Glorious Turnips, who would that be?
I’m not sure I get the question? Do you mean that if I wasn’t king, who else would be the king? It would be like the stewards of gondor. No king until I or one of my progeny returned to reclaim the throne.

If you mean what I would be if I wasn’t king of the nation of the Glorious Turnip, I would simply not exist.

29. Why Martian Knives inc?
I’m a major shareholder. Free publicity

30. How do you like to eat turnips?
With my mouth.

31. Any good turnip recipes you could suggest?
They’re all royal secrets.

32. What is your Favourite Iron Madien song?
I'm going with Hallowed Be Thy Name, but it's not set in stone or anything.

33. Who is your favourite author?
I like Isaac Asimov a lot

34. what is your favourite book?
I like the Foundation Trilogy a lot.

35. What books are you really glad you read? And what do you think you want to get round to reading?
Uhm…. I’m really glad I read the Foundation trilogy. I want to get around to reading more from Nietzsche, also Machiavelli. Those are currently on my top reading list.

36. What kind of music do you enjoy?
Let’s see, I like Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, Classical music, Alternative music, also some of the typical 80s music. I have a very eclectic taste in music.

37. Which are your favourite bands/singers/composers/etc.?

And of course the most important question of them all

41. What is your favourite smilie?
Yes, Turnips, not smilies, they are not part of the most important question of them all, you little sneaky interviewer! GRRRR.

Having said that, I’m particularly fond of the smilie. Or the one.

Thanks for the interview
Glad to have been of assistance.

[toni]

Whoa!

[subterranean]

37. Which are your favourite bands/singers/composers/etc.?
IRON MAIDEN!!! IRON MAIDEN!!! IRON MAIDEN!!! That’s number one, but also PINK FLOYD, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Queen, U2, Golden Earring, Dire Straits and many, many more.

Now, I can see how someone mix PF, DP, Q, DR.... but, Iron Maiden? Seriously?

[Virgil]

Oh Aimus you had me laughing. Very good. A business major, I wouldn't have guessed. And where in the USA have you been

[AimusSage]

Oh Aimus you had me laughing. Very good. A business major, I wouldn't have guessed. And where in the USA have you been

New York! Only once though, and only for about week. Far too short I have every intention of going back there, and also see more of the USA.

Sub: Say, IRON MAIDEN is well above the other bans for me in terms of favouriteness.! I noticed I forgot to mention Radiohead, it's one of the other bands I like. However I forgot a great many things, but that's my state of mind at the moment, or more precisely, these past few months. Forgetfull.

[Schokokeks]

then I became Aimus Sage. It is that simple. It’s actually short for His Royal Highness the Benevolent and Just King Aimus the first. Ruler of the Infinite Universe, Mars, and the nation of the Glorious Turnip

The best aspect are the people, I know it’s a cliché but it would get boring really fast if I was the only one around, although if that were the case, I would run around naked

Oh my God, my belly hurts from laughing .

International Business and Management ? Sounds like you're of the career-focused sort, eh ?

[B-Mental]

I saw Iron Maiden back in the 80's, are they even still around?

[Scheherazade]

Or was Aimus himself around during the 80s???

[B-Mental]

LOL, were turnips around in the 80's? I never saw one, lol.
