9: if you could be given info about one event in your future that would be 100% correct. What event would you want to know about?

My death, when I was going to die.

Three things I love about myself, I know who I am, I know what I want in life, and I set many goals.

Three things I could change about myself I tend to be hard on myself, I look to the negative, and I'm over protective over my writing.


I want Teele to be in the Hotspot next

Many thanks, Leaka! -bows-
Bring 'em on.

1.) Have you ever had a terribly dark day?

1.) Have you ever had a terribly dark day?

Hm. No one day comes to mind. I've had a few that I'd consider 'bad' days, but a dark day for me would seem to connote the death of someone close, or perhaps the utter crumbling of my life.

But, I kinda had a dark day a few weeks ago when a relationship of mine died horribly. That wasn't very bright at all. But, even when I have such dark days, I try not to dwell on them, and I try to move on.

2 - fashion - do you follow it?

3. What inspires you to write? And what stands in your way?

2 - fashion - do you follow it?

Nooo. Nope, fashion is most certainly not my thing. I nearly always dress casually; jeans or cargo pants and a T-shirt of some kind, along with my leather jacket. That being said, I'm not a slob. My jeans are free of holes and my shirts are clean . On rare occasions, I'll put on suit and tie.

3. What inspires you to write? And what stands in your way?

My inspiration to write comes from a desire to create. More than anything, I think, I enjoy seeing something I've had in my mind come to life in words. That being said, most of my writing inspiration comes from within, but there are definitely things that influence me and give me ideas.

Life in general stands in the way. The various priorities and other things I enjoy doing distract me from writing as thoroughly or as often as I'd like.

4: if you were given the chance to ask one question and would receive a 100% truthful and exact answer about your future, what would you ask? (Lotty Numbers are NOT your future)

4: if you were given the chance to ask one question and would receive a 100% truthful and exact answer about your future, what would you ask?

Oooooh. Tough one. The first thing that came to my head was "What will my life mate be like?" Most of the other stuff about the future I don't find extremely important. I have a fair idea of what I'll be doing, and what will be happening, so yeah. The girl I'll end up spending the rest of my life with is the primary mystery of my future.

5. Okay, you are no longer a real person, sorry that sucks for you, but you are rather the main character in some bright young author's latest novel. What genre would your story be in? And what would the opening paragraph be?

Hm. Well, there are two possible interpretations, but I'll stick with the one I like better. The story's genre would be fantasy, my given name would be Teele, and the opening paragraph would go something like this:

The library's corridors were dark with another night. Its long halls were held in a serene silence, void of any human lives...except one. He sat hunched at a wooden table, on which a pair of glowing candles stood. The warm, orange light illuminated the books and parchments arranged meticulously on the table's surface. The man sitting at it held a quill, and was writing furiously on a parchment. He was absorbed completely in his art, letting his consciousness flow into it. This was to be his world; his whole life.

Or something along those lines.

6.) If you could be any candy in the world, what would it be? And why?

6.) If you could be any candy in the world, what would it be? And why?

Hm. I'd probably end up a candy-cane. It's simple on the outside, but inside it is fresh and nice. That's as far as I'm gonna take this question philosophically.

7. Who most inspires you? Who most inspires against you?

8: Given the choice between being rich (and unknown) or bing famous (and living paycheck to paycheck) which would you pick?

Note:

If you pick rich, you can not use your wealth to become famous, nor can you buy your way to becoming well known.

If you pick famous, you can not use your fame to gain wealth.

7. Who most inspires you? Who most inspires against you?

Hm. Different people inspire me in different ways. My two biggest writing inspirations are JRR Tolkien (with his epic massive world), and my friend Jenny (because I've known her for five years and seen her writing develop extraordinarily). In music, I'm inspired by my dad (who's an awesome guitarist), and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd (who is another awesome guitarist), as well as various other artists, past and present. Personally, I'm generally inspired by anyone who wants to improve themselves and get better at the things they do. Someone with a good attitude always inspires me.

I don't know many people who inspire against me, and the few who do I won't name out loud. But I'm inspired against by people who are arrogant, who won't listen, who are immature, and who have no desire to be improve themselves. I'm also inspired against by people who don't care about anything beyond the surface, material things in life.

Hm. Another tough one. Really, I could go either way and probably be content. I think my preference, though, would be to be famous. It's been shown time and again that money doesn't really satisfy people unless they've learned contentment in the first place. To be loved by people for something I've created would, I think, be worth more than money.

But again, I could go either way.

9. Fun question time, what color represents you and why?

9. Fun question time, what color represents you and why?

Yay!! Blue. But all shades of blue, and not for the traditional reason of sadness. Blue to me speaks of peace, stillness, depth, and clarity, all virtues I desire and try to hold to (unsuccessfully at times). Of course, blue can be a fun color, too, and there's an element of that in me. I also love to play the blues! So blue would be my color.

10. Do you believe what's cool in the media is cool in reality?

Nope. I decided what I think is cool on my own.

Umm, ok what is going on here? If its Teele's turn to answer questions then why is Shadow Dragon answering them? Do you have two accounts opened? Its not a problem we just need to know.

Oh and after the 10th question you need to elect someone to the Hotspot.

Teele is out for the weekend and I'm not sure he's back yet and I think Shadow was confused on how the Hot Spot was used =P

Okay, I'm back now! And no, Shadow's his own person...unless I'm schizo and don't know it. :P

For the most part, no. The media thinks guns are cool, and I think so, too. But I definitely don't think that murder, flippant sex, and materialism are cool; and those are some of the main things the media promotes. That being said, the media can promote a lot of good things that I agree with, but generally speaking, the lesser virtues are the ones that come out more prominently.

I'll nominate SD to hit the hotspot next!

Okay, first question for Shadow Dragon.

1. What aspect (political, zoological, whatever) of the fantasy worlds you create with your writing do you most wish was part of our world?
