OK, yeah, most of this has nothing to do with intros, I just need someplace to shove some stuff to keep it away from those I don't want privvy. Apparently, I don't care if you all are privvy. Have fun!
((My version's missing a couple. Can't remember why))
98 Questions: Rhenin
Part 1: The Basics
1. What is your full name?
Rhenin Gabriel Uriel Mason
2. Where and when were you born?
A hospital most likely – September 23, 1989
3. Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
My mother is Nina America Mason (yeah, America. My grandparents weren’t really creative but they won the prize on being patriotic) maiden name Johnson. We don’t get along well so I don’t really know how she was raised. Her personality can be described in one sentence: she’s a hard-headed, slave-driver in trophy wife’s clothing. OK, that’s a little harsh but she can be really harsh, and she is trying to be a trophy wife.
My dad is Samuel Hiram Mason. Good ol’ Sam-boy of a Montana farm. His grandparents were like the freakin’ Walton’s, raising six kids in three bedrooms with one bathroom and a Sani-can. No lie, I’ve been to that house, it sucks. Of course when I went it had some hot water installed and there were only four people living there. But anyway, my dad is quiet. He works as a lawyer in the fancy law-firm across the water. He’s not usually home which is probably why I respect him more than my mom.
4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
I have one sister. Her name’s Anna. She’s approximately a year and half younger than me. We couldn’t be more different. Anna’s basically a social outcast but she did it to herself. She hangs around with this creepy girl named Eliana Wilson and they never let anyone in their special club. Anna’s happy though, so whatever I guess.
5. Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
Live at home, unfortunately, with Mom, Dad, and Anna. If you count pets we have two cats, Minty and Persephone, and a dog named Duke Jason the Large and Overfed.
6. What is your occupation?
Legally I work in a coffee shop, serving mochas and frappachinoes to well-paid business people who think the tip jar is a modern desk decoration and bubbly teenaged girls who think sitting in a coffee shop and watching the coffee get made isn’t classified as loitering. I don’t even drink coffee.
But illegally…I admit nor deny nothing. I’ve decided not to explain the illegal aspects just yet.
7. Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
I don’t see what I could write. I’m pathetically ordinary looking. I never comb my hair, which is an odd chestnut color, probably bleached by lack of food and sunlight. I would forget to cut it if my mom didn’t remind me every six weeks. I refuse to go to an actual salon where they put *bleep* that smells like baby butts and bananas into my hair and instead walk to the local barber and let Dee hack away for twenty minutes. Works well enough and it pisses my mom off.
I’m about six foot two, I think. Anna measured me a few weeks ago for some experiment. I’m thin naturally though if I didn’t spend so much time running around and ignoring food I’d probably gain weight. I don’t look in the mirror too often so I don’t really know, nor do I weigh myself because it doesn’t matter to me. My eyes are hazel and sometimes I think they match my hair, which is creepy for some reason. Everyone in my family has white skin, like really white, we don’t tan in summer and he don’t pale if we spend too much time indoors. We’re just flat-out white.
I have no real style to my clothing. I don’t wear pocket-protectors or anything but I usually just find a clean shirt and a pair of jeans. I’m still wearing clothes my mother picked for me when I was fourteen. Just happens that they still fit. I hate shopping so I put it off forever. I hang around with a bunch of crazy stoners and goths and they like to give me funny bracelets and pierce my ears and things. I let them because I guess, somehow it’s fun. So my ears are lined with earrings that I don’t usually get around to changing. The only other thing is the scar on my left cheek. It’s shaped like an X with one line leading from the outer corner of my eye to my upper lip and the other line leading from my nose almost to my jaw-line.
8. To which social class do you belong?
Upper-class I guess. My family rolls in it.
9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
You mean other than the physical weaknesses of a non-mutant human boy? No.
10. Are you right- or left-handed?
Ambidextrous, but I generally use the right
11. What does your voice sound like?
What? I never really thought about it. It’s just a voice. To me it’s an average sort of deep for a guy my age.
12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
Again, I don’t really pay attention. I call people fruitcakes a lot, and nutcases.
13. What do you have in your pockets?
Some money, a pack of crackers, a bus pass, my car keys, library card. Is this like asking what’s in a woman’s purse?
14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
Not that I know of. Anyone of the Wilson’s might say something different, as far as I’m concerned I’m just boring and surly all the time.
Part 2: Growing Up
15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
Pretty *bleep*ty. I spent a lot of time in daycare, and since then a lot of time in the headmaster’s office.
16. What is your earliest memory?
Um, if I thought about it, I might be able to come up with something but for now all I can remember is Dana Fascinelli telling me she wanted to marry me when we were like, seven or something.
17. How much schooling have you had?
A full private-school education. I’m currently in the 12th grade.
18. Did you enjoy school?
Uh…no. School in itself no, certain people I did/do enjoy.
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
Some from Mr. Wilson, some from books, most from a lack of self-preservation.
20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
None.
21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
I got on with my mom like *bleep*. I was a problem child. I only got along with my dad until I was eleven and then I started ignoring them both to the best of my ability and vise versa. Anna and I get along fine.
22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
They asked me that in school too and I lied and told them I was going to be a lawyer, really I didn’t want to think about it because I was seven and only cared about whether or not marrying Dana Fascinelli was worth it.
23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
Teasing the cats and pretending to be deaf in daycare to see what people would say around me.
24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
I don’t know really. Mom says I was a pain and should’ve been put in therapy a long time ago. Dad says I was troubled and needed more attention than he or Mom could give me.
25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
No, when a kid runs around pulling pigtails and reciting the legal rights to teachers, it tends to get them isolated. I got in a lot of fights until about fourth grade and then people just left me alone.
26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
Dana Fascinelli if it counts. She attacked me by the tetherball and said if we kissed she’d get pregnant.
27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
No, I’m not a virgin. I was fourteen if you must know, and it was with Christine Lillix…I think.
28. If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
Um…My parents ignored me. So I guess I was driven to a life of crime, or something.
Part 3: Past Influences
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
Riker.
30. Who has had the most influence on you?
Probably Riker.
31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
That Renfield pendent, I got at least two thousand out of that thing and a nice set of pearls too.
32. What is your greatest regret?
I don’t regret things. I haven’t done anything worth regretting.
33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
Well, I steal things. That is a direct violation of the law and a ten commandment, I just can’t remember which one.
34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
Yes.
35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
I’d say probably when Riker’s fingernail was stuck to my face and lots of blood was hitting the street.
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
Wow, I actually have to think about this one. Last year in the 11th grade somebody said my parents were filthy rich and my teacher tried to get me to give her our address so she could be my father’s sleeper – I mean mistress. I was embarrassed to have such a stupid teacher.
37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
I would’ve never gone to therapy.
38. What is your best memory?
Anything from the five months I spent in Montana at my grandparents’ farm. Particularly the part where I was taught how to milk cows. It was funny how Cassie actually thought I’d do it.
39. What is your worst memory?
I’m going to have to say Riker on this one too.
Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
Pessimistic I think, I tend to freak out and start running all the worst scenarios through my head.
41. What is your greatest fear?
I don’t have one. My lack of self-preservation prevents me from having one.
42. What are your religious views?
I’m not religious but fantastic if you are. I hate people who try to choke you with their religion but other than that I have no problem with those who have one or those who don’t.
43. What are your political views?
Politics are for politicians.
44. What are your views on sex?
It’s sex, it’s fun…people have it…?
45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
I’m capable, yes, but I never have. If the person was a rapist or a pedophile, serial killer or whatever than I could see killing them. Or if it’s self-defense.
46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
I don’t really think about that kind of thing, my pessimism wears out right about here. That’s depressing.
47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
Yeah sure, why not? There’s nothing proving it doesn’t exist.
48. What do you believe makes a successful life?
I guess if you’re happy you’re successful.
49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?
I don’t really hide anything per se, but I don’t offer up information. Hey, everybody has secrets thought, right?
50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
Not really. I’m prejudice against prejudice people, which is kind of a paradox.
51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
I refuse to go on anymore dates that my mother sets up because the girls she picks don’t even have the word vocabulary in their vocabulary. They think proper dinner conversation is which Survivor just got kicked off the island, and their constantly doing that flutter-the-eyelashes-touch-your-arm bit that creeps the hell out of me.
52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
I’m thinking only Anna. She matters a hell of a lot.
Part 5: Relationships With Others
53. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how?.
I keep most people at three arms lengths. I don’t like people, it’s just how I am. I don’t want anymore Dana Fascinelli’s and I don’t want anymore Dr. Hampton’s trying to fry my brain or dissect it. If I know someone really well (which is unlikely. The statement exceeds to Anna, Brigham, and Jackson) I can uphold personal conversation, otherwise just stick to weather and peppy banter.
54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
Anna, only because she never thought I needed therapy and never told me to go away and do something foul with a screen door.
55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
I don’t know, that’d probably be Anna too. Except, to be honest, I don’t really know what respect is, I’ve never bothered to respect anyone. Mr. Wilson scares the *bleep* out of me so I do what he says, but that’s respect out of fear, which is different I think.
56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
Friends? I can’t remember all the names of the people I hang out with. Only two of them matter, Brigham and Jackson. Brigham’s a guy built like a football player and is way too nice for his own good. I only met him because one time his little brother wanted to try pot and Brig wouldn’t let him try it without supervision. So here comes this shrimpy kid out behind the school with this bodyguard of a brother trailing behind him looking at everyone like he’ll bust some wigs if anyone touches the kid.
Jackson’s only slightly less talked about. He’s Brig’s polar-opposite. He’s scrawny and blonde with a face that is more freckle than skin. He’s loud and crass and pretends to be a gentlemen. He’s a piano prodigy; everyone calls him Lightfingers. Other than those two, I spend a good deal of time with Anna and her creepy Wilson friend. Jackson is usually part of the group and Wilson’s cousin Jake, sometimes his girlfriend (I can’t remember her name, it’s like Margaret or Missy or something).
57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person.
Nope. Only ever had three girlfriends, Layla, Cassie, and then Liz.
58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
I don’t know what love feels like so if I have been in love I didn’t know it.
59. What do you look for in a potential lover?
Usually they’re the ones looking for me.
60. How close are you to your family?
I’m not. That should’ve been pretty obvious by now.
61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not?
At seventeen, I sure as hell hope not.
62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
Mr. Wilson. He’s a creepy dude but the creep comes in handy.
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
That would be the same answer as the last one.
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
My family. Probably a lot of girls in my school.
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
Riker and to put it briefly because he tried to kill me and my friends more than once.
66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
I don’t argue, I taunt, I’ve found it pisses people off more effectively and it’s easier.
67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
Not really, even if I wanted to Wilson wouldn’t let me.
68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
No but I seem to do it a lot.
69. Do you care what others think of you?
Not in the least.
Part 6: Likes and Dislikes
70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
I thieve things.
71. What is your most treasured possession?
Don’t have one.
72. What is your favorite color?
Green so long as it doesn’t radiate or blind.
73. What is your favorite food?
…um…food.
74. What, if anything, do you like to read?
Stephen King. I don’t really like to read them but I do. I also read whatever’s in the classics section at the library.
75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
When Lightfingers gets pissed at the piano and starts wailing on the keys in a random jazz rift that sound like crap. I don’t know why but watching a kid who weighs less than a wet towel try and beat up an innocent baby grand is hilarious.
76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit?
No, no, and no. I tried them all once. Smoking I never stayed with because lung cancer sounds unpleasant, the other two just weren’t very fun.
77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
In dark clothing in the home of somebody rich with the rest of Intrepid and our wonderful skills. It’s not as fun as working alone but it keeps the police of my back.
78. What makes you laugh?
Whatever I find funny? Don’t really know how to answer that.
79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
Nothing that I can think of. Tragic and gruesome history like the Holocaust or wars, but nothing in everyday life.
80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
I have insomnia! That’s why I steal things at night.
81. How do you deal with stress?
I don’t think I get stressed. I avoid it because when my mom gets stressed she flies into a critical rage and rants about anything that comes to mind. When I was little I thought that’s what being stressed was so I trained myself never to do it.
82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
Pretty much spontaneous, I have a hard time thinking more than twenty minutes into the future.
83. What are your pet peeves?
Babble. I really can’t listen to people babbling, I’ll just block out the entire thing and find something more interesting to think about. That and people who don’t know how to make coherent insults or arguments when I get them into a verbal war. Winning isn’t fun if the person’s an idiot.
Part 7: Self Images and Etc.
84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?
Depends on the day actually. Normally I get up around 7:00 and drink hot chocolate. Go to school, banter with my homeroom teacher, get sent to the headmaster’s office for unbecoming conduct; usually with girls. Sometimes I skip after lunch and go hang around under the Space Needle for and hour or so. Then I go home, have my mom hassle me for failing school, then I eat dinner and go to bed.
If I can’t sleep, I go a’thieving. On weekends I hang around with my friends and go out with Intrepid after nightfall. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, I go to therapy sessions with Dr. Hampton that I blow completely. I like to see how long it takes before Hampton gets frustrated enough to take off his hair piece and use it to wipe his face. The guy should get a towel.
85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
I really couldn’t tell you, all around I’m a bad person.
86. What is your greatest weakness?
That, I don’t know either.
87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Nothing, I fine the way I am. Maybe I’d nix the conscience and get a better one.
88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
Introverted.
89. Are you generally organized or messy?
There’s a fine line. When it comes to my room it’s always clean. I’m kind of a misophobe but where schoolwork and just regular thoughts are concerned, I’m a basket case.
90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
Thieving, running, talking – thinking, meeting people, “applying myself”
91. Do you like yourself?
No, but I don’t not like myself.
92. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
I would like to at some point have a million dollars. I don’t really care how.
93. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In an apartment with five alibis and an apprentice. No wait…probably in jail.
94. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
Painlessly and so that whoever finds my body won’t be traumatized passed the point of finding a dead body.
95. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
Apologize to my parents, kiss Wilson, and unmask myself on TV
96. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
As long as I’m remembered, and not as being some crusty old man who hated everyone. That would suck.
97. What three words best describe your personality?
Careless, irresponsible, and haphazard. That’s what Hampton told my parents, I roll with it.
98. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
Probably careless, irresponsible, and haphazard.
((My version's missing a couple. Can't remember why))

Wow, I actually have to think about this one. Last year in the 11th grade somebody said my parents were filthy rich and my teacher tried to get me to give her our address so she could be my father’s sleeper – I mean mistress. I was embarrassed to have such a stupid teacher.
37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
I would’ve never gone to therapy.
38. What is your best memory?
Anything from the five months I spent in Montana at my grandparents’ farm. Particularly the part where I was taught how to milk cows. It was funny how Cassie actually thought I’d do it.
39. What is your worst memory?
I’m going to have to say Riker on this one too.
Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
Pessimistic I think, I tend to freak out and start running all the worst scenarios through my head.
41. What is your greatest fear?
I don’t have one. My lack of self-preservation prevents me from having one.
42. What are your religious views?
I’m not religious but fantastic if you are. I hate people who try to choke you with their religion but other than that I have no problem with those who have one or those who don’t.
43. What are your political views?
Politics are for politicians.
44. What are your views on sex?
It’s sex, it’s fun…people have it…?
45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
I’m capable, yes, but I never have. If the person was a rapist or a pedophile, serial killer or whatever than I could see killing them. Or if it’s self-defense.
46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
I don’t really think about that kind of thing, my pessimism wears out right about here. That’s depressing.
47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
Yeah sure, why not? There’s nothing proving it doesn’t exist.
48. What do you believe makes a successful life?
I guess if you’re happy you’re successful.
49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?
I don’t really hide anything per se, but I don’t offer up information. Hey, everybody has secrets thought, right?
50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
Not really. I’m prejudice against prejudice people, which is kind of a paradox.
51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
I refuse to go on anymore dates that my mother sets up because the girls she picks don’t even have the word vocabulary in their vocabulary. They think proper dinner conversation is which Survivor just got kicked off the island, and their constantly doing that flutter-the-eyelashes-touch-your-arm bit that creeps the hell out of me.
52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
I’m thinking only Anna. She matters a hell of a lot.
Part 5: Relationships With Others
53. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how?.
I keep most people at three arms lengths. I don’t like people, it’s just how I am. I don’t want anymore Dana Fascinelli’s and I don’t want anymore Dr. Hampton’s trying to fry my brain or dissect it. If I know someone really well (which is unlikely. The statement exceeds to Anna, Brigham, and Jackson) I can uphold personal conversation, otherwise just stick to weather and peppy banter.
54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
Anna, only because she never thought I needed therapy and never told me to go away and do something foul with a screen door.
55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
I don’t know, that’d probably be Anna too. Except, to be honest, I don’t really know what respect is, I’ve never bothered to respect anyone. Mr. Wilson scares the *bleep* out of me so I do what he says, but that’s respect out of fear, which is different I think.
56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
Friends? I can’t remember all the names of the people I hang out with. Only two of them matter, Brigham and Jackson. Brigham’s a guy built like a football player and is way too nice for his own good. I only met him because one time his little brother wanted to try pot and Brig wouldn’t let him try it without supervision. So here comes this shrimpy kid out behind the school with this bodyguard of a brother trailing behind him looking at everyone like he’ll bust some wigs if anyone touches the kid.
Jackson’s only slightly less talked about. He’s Brig’s polar-opposite. He’s scrawny and blonde with a face that is more freckle than skin. He’s loud and crass and pretends to be a gentlemen. He’s a piano prodigy; everyone calls him Lightfingers. Other than those two, I spend a good deal of time with Anna and her creepy Wilson friend. Jackson is usually part of the group and Wilson’s cousin Jake, sometimes his girlfriend (I can’t remember her name, it’s like Margaret or Missy or something).
57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person.
Nope. Only ever had three girlfriends, Layla, Cassie, and then Liz.
58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
I don’t know what love feels like so if I have been in love I didn’t know it.
59. What do you look for in a potential lover?
Usually they’re the ones looking for me.
60. How close are you to your family?
I’m not. That should’ve been pretty obvious by now.
61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not?
At seventeen, I sure as hell hope not.
62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
Mr. Wilson. He’s a creepy dude but the creep comes in handy.
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
That would be the same answer as the last one.
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
My family. Probably a lot of girls in my school.
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
Riker and to put it briefly because he tried to kill me and my friends more than once.
66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
I don’t argue, I taunt, I’ve found it pisses people off more effectively and it’s easier.
67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
Not really, even if I wanted to Wilson wouldn’t let me.
68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
No but I seem to do it a lot.
69. Do you care what others think of you?
Not in the least.
Part 6: Likes and Dislikes
70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
I thieve things.
71. What is your most treasured possession?
Don’t have one.
72. What is your favorite color?
Green so long as it doesn’t radiate or blind.
73. What is your favorite food?
…um…food.
74. What, if anything, do you like to read?
Stephen King. I don’t really like to read them but I do. I also read whatever’s in the classics section at the library.
75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
When Lightfingers gets pissed at the piano and starts wailing on the keys in a random jazz rift that sound like crap. I don’t know why but watching a kid who weighs less than a wet towel try and beat up an innocent baby grand is hilarious.
76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit?
No, no, and no. I tried them all once. Smoking I never stayed with because lung cancer sounds unpleasant, the other two just weren’t very fun.
77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
In dark clothing in the home of somebody rich with the rest of Intrepid and our wonderful skills. It’s not as fun as working alone but it keeps the police of my back.
78. What makes you laugh?
Whatever I find funny? Don’t really know how to answer that.
79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
Nothing that I can think of. Tragic and gruesome history like the Holocaust or wars, but nothing in everyday life.
80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
I have insomnia! That’s why I steal things at night.
81. How do you deal with stress?
I don’t think I get stressed. I avoid it because when my mom gets stressed she flies into a critical rage and rants about anything that comes to mind. When I was little I thought that’s what being stressed was so I trained myself never to do it.
82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
Pretty much spontaneous, I have a hard time thinking more than twenty minutes into the future.
83. What are your pet peeves?
Babble. I really can’t listen to people babbling, I’ll just block out the entire thing and find something more interesting to think about. That and people who don’t know how to make coherent insults or arguments when I get them into a verbal war. Winning isn’t fun if the person’s an idiot.
Part 7: Self Images and Etc.
84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?
Depends on the day actually. Normally I get up around 7:00 and drink hot chocolate. Go to school, banter with my homeroom teacher, get sent to the headmaster’s office for unbecoming conduct; usually with girls. Sometimes I skip after lunch and go hang around under the Space Needle for and hour or so. Then I go home, have my mom hassle me for failing school, then I eat dinner and go to bed.
If I can’t sleep, I go a’thieving. On weekends I hang around with my friends and go out with Intrepid after nightfall. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, I go to therapy sessions with Dr. Hampton that I blow completely. I like to see how long it takes before Hampton gets frustrated enough to take off his hair piece and use it to wipe his face. The guy should get a towel.
85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
I really couldn’t tell you, all around I’m a bad person.
86. What is your greatest weakness?
That, I don’t know either.
87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Nothing, I fine the way I am. Maybe I’d nix the conscience and get a better one.
88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
Introverted.
89. Are you generally organized or messy?
There’s a fine line. When it comes to my room it’s always clean. I’m kind of a misophobe but where schoolwork and just regular thoughts are concerned, I’m a basket case.
90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
Thieving, running, talking – thinking, meeting people, “applying myself”
91. Do you like yourself?
No, but I don’t not like myself.
92. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
I would like to at some point have a million dollars. I don’t really care how.
93. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In an apartment with five alibis and an apprentice. No wait…probably in jail.
94. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
Painlessly and so that whoever finds my body won’t be traumatized passed the point of finding a dead body.
95. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
Apologize to my parents, kiss Wilson, and unmask myself on TV
96. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
As long as I’m remembered, and not as being some crusty old man who hated everyone. That would suck.
97. What three words best describe your personality?
Careless, irresponsible, and haphazard. That’s what Hampton told my parents, I roll with it.
98. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
Probably careless, irresponsible, and haphazard.
