01 - There's no genre (in literature, television, and film that) I enjoy more than science fiction. I've been a sci-fi fan since I became steadily hooked on Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1994.
02 - Years of Advanced Placement English Literature mean I'm trained in a formal interpretation of literature (specifically "close reading" wink and studied enough books to put me on the shelf (excuse the metaphor) with your borderline literary geek.
03 - Being a Media Studies student, I'm familiar with academic discourse and prefer topical discussions with that level of structuring, but I'm not fond of academia at all.
04 - My faith will probably always be in the Abrahamic God, but I hate religion in general.
06 - Neil Gaiman's The Sandman is the one thing I'd keep if I had only one thing to read forever.
07 - Characters I idolize tend to be of the older male scholar and teacher archetype, such as Methos of Highlander: The Series, Marius of Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles, and Hiko Seijuro of Rurouni Kenshin. I think it's because I lack mentoring and my father has always been a mess of a man.
08 - I can definitely draw, but I don't anymore and am years out of practice anyway.
09 - My DDR level is Standard Mode, 7-footer.
10 - I like arcade shooters, such as Ninja Assault and the House of the Dead series.
11 - Everything for me defaults to serious mode, which means that I'll always evaluate, even what should be very deep, personal things, in an emotionally detached, scientific way.
12 - I dream whenever I sleep and can easily remember my dreams.
13 - Intentionally pretentious dialogue and comedically feigned idiocy tickle my brain. Non-sequiturs work too when they force me to do a mental double-take.
14 - I find some words, like heteroglossia, and ideas, like reductio ad absurdum, real *shiny*.
15 - No one is born knowing everything, even me. As of late though, I've been busy accomodating a paradigm shift of personal values and basically, too lazy and/or confused to work on it, which is just very, very bad.
