An interview with JBI:
*Why are we doing this interview thing?*
Because I was asked to.
*Are you sure you want to do this?*
Well, I am doing it so, I guess...
*Who killed Roger Rabbit?*
I thought he was framed not killed...
*Whose footprints would you find in the fridge?*
These questions are getting more and more absurd.
*If you had a personal theme song what would it be?*

*Are you male or female? *
Male
*What makes you keep coming back?*
I am not banned yet.
*Are you happy with the way things are here?*
Some things, others not. I am yet to get a + beside my name, that's one.
*Which countries have you visited?*
Lots, too many to list - check last years thread if that was a question, otherwise, I have been to many countries in Western, Southern and Northern Europe, Israel, Egypt, Argentina, The US, much of South-East Asia, and now I am heading to East Asia. Also have been to New Zealand, Iceland, Hungary, amongst others.
*Which languages do you speak?*
Fluently, English, Hebrew, sub-fluently, Italian, conversationally competent, Chinese, French (now limited).
*How do you like your home town?*
The weather could be better, it could be a lot less boring, but everything else is top notch.
*If you could live somewhere different, where would it be and why?*
I am moving to China for a year to study, so I guess that counts.
*Do you have any pets?*
One dog, I really don't like it, as last night it decided to keep me up by barking unceasingly throughout the night.
*What makes you happy?*
Nothing, clearly.
*What is mankind's biggest achievement, and its greatest downfall?*
My hair, which I will be losing in a few years
*Do you feel comfortable in your walk with God/atheism? *
Comfortable, no, resolved yes. Nobody who knows they will go nowhere when they die is comfortable, however, I am more comforted by knowing I won't end up in hell.
*Which actor should play you in a movie based on your life?*
Whoopie Goldberg, then Lucy Liu as a stunt/body double for the sex scenes.
*How did you meet your significant other?*
When I went crazy it grew inside my mind, and started talking to me, now we're engaged.
*Who inspires you most?*
God
*What are you naturally good at? (Skills, abilities, gifts etc.)*
Arguing, and making an a$$ of myself.
*What is the one thing you must do before you die?*
Stop breathing.
*If you had to teach something, what would you teach?*
Not English, definitely not English, especially to annoying kids.
*What method do you cherish above all others, as means to improving your life?*
Work hard and beat everyone - if they work for 4 hours, work for 8, if they get 100, get 100 also and pretend you didn't put any effort into it.
*What one thing would you NEED to have on a deserted island if you didn't have to worry over food and water? *
Some easy way to kill myself.
*If you were a king/queen for a day, what would you do?*
Be the Queen of Hearts in Alice and Wonderland.
*What song is in your head at the moment?*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXi7S...eature=related but by a different singer.
*Which book are you reading at the moment?*
Paper Swordsmen: Jin Yong and the Modern Chinese Martial Arts Novel
*What is your favourite quote?*
很多理论你知道，可是你懂了吗？ 很多道理你懂了，可是你运用了吗?
Roughly translated, you know a lot of principles, but do you understand them? You understand a lot of theories, but can you apply them?
I found that written inside a book.

Dim Sum
*What time of day do you most often find yourself on the LitNet*?
I'm on at random bursts, too hard to say.

Right now I have a thing for this one:

*First novel you remember reading on your own?*Goblins in the Castle, or something along those lines. Can't remember much of the details, other than that the plot was rather contrived.
*What era do you find most of the books you read are from?*
Also hard to say, modern era out of necessity, since most of what I read is scholarship, and much of my classwork is done on modern literature.
*What do you do (for a living) to be able to keep your LitNet addiction going? And are you happy with your chosen profession?*
I am a student, and the governments (Canadian and Chinese) pay me nicely - I am happy, as it means I am not actually working.
*What question would you like to ask yourself?*
What should we eat for dinner.
*What would you like to be if you could change your profession?*
Firefighter - every girl likes a fireman even if they don't admit it.
*Which one of the seven dwarves are you and why?*
Angry, well, you know me.
*What is your most outstanding feature?*
My Acerbic Wit.
*If you could change one thing about the way you look, what would that be?*
Axe the nose, and add 20 pounds to my physique.
*What should you be doing at the moment instead of answering these questions?*
Studying Latin American Geography.
*Favorite movie?*
Mrs. Doubtfire
*Last movie you watched?*
This rather boring movie about the rise of communism in China which I had already seen.
*Wonderful Superman or depressing Batman?*
Who has the prettier girlfriend?

My bills.
*Are you mostly happy with life or are you still in pursuit?*
I am happy.
*What type of Faerie would you like to be and why?*
One that attracts sexy gold-digging women.
*One final word of wisdom for LitNet users?*
19th century novels are so boring, you guys should read poetry instead.
*What question would you like to ask to the person to be interview after you?*
Should JBI get an + beside his name?
And don't you dare get yourself banned. You would be missed.
"It's so mysterious, the land of tears."
