What natural disaster are you most worried about right now, and what would you do first if it occurred or started to occur to you?

Man I dunno. Anything with the ability to take out my power for more than 24 hours.

I don't really worry about natural disasters from day to day. We're supposed to have thunderstorms all weekend and that would kind of suck but at least it'll be warm and humid, which I like.
 
If your employer asked you to move to the U.S., which city would you least want to be transferred to?

What is your favorite curse word?

First I'd be surprised, since I'm employed on contract which ends in a month. If they're taking me on permanently and sending me to America for some reason, I'd be kind of upset if they sent me to Detroit or something. Or like some little town that I've never heard of or don't know anything about. My first instinct in any situation like that would be to shut myself up in my living quarters and hide until I found a local bar.

My favourite curse word is Shit. It's so sharp and I love dragging it out. Sheeeeeeeeeeit.
 
Do you mind going to the movies by yourself?

Where do you prefer to sit in the movie theater?

Who is your favorite writer?

Can you paint things from your head or do you need to look at something?

Do you like abstract art or more realistic stuff or even hyper-realistic?

What is your favorite medium?
 
Tell me of a time you threatened violence and had to follow through.
When being bullied in grade school. I was always the skinny nerd kid that kids of middling popularity thought they could pick on to make a name for themselves. The situations would quickly resolve themselves when the kids would corner me at recess to "fight" which in my mind meant "fight" and in theirs meant "shoving match with taunting and generally showing a lot of bravado".

So I'd tell them I wasn't interested in fighting, they'd push me, and then I'd punch them once in the stomach and reduce them tears. I always ended up getting detention as a result but I got off much easier than the kids who started it. The crowds always had my back, or at least, they respected my straightforward fighting style.
 
What would you do if you had no financial concerns? I mean no debt, all expenses were covered.

What is your favorite thing in the world?

If every movie in history aired at exactly the same time and you could watch only one, what would it be?
 
I'm leaving work early, and feel compelled to work extra hard because of that, but I've put in the extra hours throughout the week to account for it. What's up with this feeling, then?!

1) I don't mind since there are a few things I wanna see in 3D but don't want to pay full prices for or drag friends with, so I'll see a Tuesday matinee occasionally. I've only done this three times or so I think.

2) About two-thirds up, in the middle.

3) I have no idea who my favourite writer is. Gonna default to GRRM since I've been obsessed with that series for a couple years now but I don't know if I revere him or anything.

4) Most of what I paint comes from my head, it's rare that I paint from life or even a reference. But when a reference is available I use it to the fullest.

5) I prefer art that's at least a little cartoony or abstract. Hyperrealism doesn't do much for me.

6) My favourite artistic medium is just pencil on paper. I just love the texture of a rough graphite sketch. Even when I later "ink" something by tablet or something I usually keep my pencil layers in the final work.

1) I would draw cartoons forever. I would put up a stupid webcomic with little to no regard for attracting an audience or merchandising. Just for funsies.

2) My "favourite thing"? This question requires some narrowing down!

3) Do you mean, if all movies were obliterated and I could only watch one, and it would have to last me forever? In that case I'd probably watch the Hobbit, since it's the one I want to see most right now. Then I would fall to my knees and curse the gods.[DOUBLEPOST=1375462121][/DOUBLEPOST]

You feel the social obligation of worknig while at work. It's not easy to just sit there and take it easy for 8 hours, at least not for reasonable people.
 
(I'm just shooting the breeze here, so I'm sorry if these have already been asked.)

What kind of drunk are you?

Do you believe in ghosts? Also, any paranormal experiences?

Family traditions?

Family traditions?
1) Depending on what I drink really. I can get loud and kinda obnoxious as with most drunk people, but more often I'll get emotional, quiet and introspective.

2) I'm a paranormal agnostic. All science so far makes it seems unlikely and I'm a man of science, but then, I'm not ready to discount their existence completely. No personal paranormal experiences, no.

3) My favourite tradition is Family Day sushi! Since 2008 we've had a long weekend in February here in Ontario, and every single year that it has existed, I've gone for all you can eat sushi on the holiday Monday. First year it was jsut with some friends, then the next year I took my mom and girlfriend, and it's expanded ever since then. This past February we had a reservation for 16. I'm hoping to franchise it it next year, since it's unreasonable to book that many people at once. I want this to become a tradition that eventually spreads to the world at large. :)
