Ask Me Anything: Daydreaming Bricks of Sugar

[figmentPez]

I figured it's about time to open one of these threads to see if anyone has got unresolved questions about me that they want answered.

How are you feelin'?

 

[General Specific]

So many people have seen your cosplay threads and we've even had a few register thanks to it. You must sift through and awful lot of cosplay, so my question to you is: What's your favorite food?

So it's like, the pez is a figment of my imagination? Or is this like a reference I don't get.

How does it feel to be the single biggest draw and most important person on Halforums?

I'm feeling pretty good. I've been just stupid happy for a number of reasons for most of the last several weeks. It's really nice.

This morning specifically, I'm hurting. Not much more than usual, and a lot less than what used to be usual. Being in constant pain for ~16 years brings an odd perspective on that.

I hate choosing favorites. I am quite partial to pizza, but we're in a long distance relationship right now. I found out I'm allergic to tomato and olive oil (hopefully not forever) and pizza just isn't the same with white sauce. I'm going to try pizza with a red pepper sauce tonight, we'll see how that goes.

I'm Pez and I'm a figment of my own imagination.

I've had this username for a while. I've loved Figment the Dragon (from EPCOT at Disney World) since I was a little kid. Then in high school I had some friends who at one point though I was an imaginary creation of some other friends. I also liked Pez a lot. When "figment" and "mintpez" and other variations started getting taken regularly on online services, I ended up combing them as figmentPez and it's consistently been my username for over a decade now, I think.

Hah! No way am I the most important person on Halforums. It's pretty cool to think of myself as the biggest draw, but it's not like I've done much. If the cosplay thread brings people in, the cosplayers and photographers deserve the real credit. I'm just unskilled labor.

We've really enjoyed chicken ranch pizza. Ranch salad dressing for the sauce, mozzerella cheese, and grilled chicken.

What, if any, book or books have you read repeatedly and believe you'll probably read again in the future?

I like pizzas with white sauce and ranch, but they're not the same thing as pizza with a tomato based sauce. Also, most ranch dressings are out because pre-made stuff almost always has MSG in there somewhere, or other ingredients that are potentially on my allergy list.

What, if any, book or books have you read repeatedly and believe you'll probably read again in the future?

Well, I read "A Night in the Lonesome October" by Roger Zelazny almost every year. It's a great Halloween book. I've also read "Changer" by Jane Lindskold several times, and am continually tempted to read it again. (I need to track down a copy of the sequel, now that I know it exists.)

Other books I've read multiple times, and will read again:
The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
Glory Season by David Brin
Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli

That's an incomplete list, and doesn't even count illustrated children's books I want to read to my children (if I ever have any), comics and graphic novels, which would cause the list to balloon to longer than I want to go into right now.

I also read the Bible regularly, and expect to continue to do so.

What's your favourite chapter of the Bible?

 

[figmentPez]

What's your favourite chapter of the Bible?

Right now I'm kinda partial to John chapter 8. It's a great assertion of the divnity of Jesus Christ, as well as the triune nature of God; then continuing on to show the place of Christians in relation to God.

Do you have any "lucky" item or article of clothing? Even if you don't really believe in luck, just something that makes you feel more confident or good to have around?

I do not believe in luck, but I do have a pair of silk boxer shorts that I wear when I want to feel extra stylish. Hand-washing is a pain, though, so it's not often.

 

[zPlude]

do you think we can be friends?

You're being really creepy. So, no.
