What key life influences have you had?
I've always wanted to be a mutant by watching X-Men.
But it did make me realise that everyone's different and that we shouldn't be prejudice. So at the time, I wanted to be an X-Man and smack Magneto into the ground as childish as it sounds.
Now moving onto real life influences, my mum's really had a big say in that. As much as I moan, I do love her. She's influenced my music taste by introducing me to all the good (and some bad!) stuff through the nineties and noughties. My dad has too though, since he's got me into a lot of TV shows and films over the years. And then there's my wonderful grandma, who's gotten me to eat things I thought I never would.
And of course, TLS has had a special role to play in this. Before TLS, before BFF, before I knew anyone of you (besides Marcus, he was with me what I'm about to mention), I had a bad experience with a forum named FFF. The place was overran with trolls and incompetent staff. And when it came down to me actually taking a stand against these pricks, staff decided to let go of myself and two of the best staff members there ever was. That was quite humiliating afterwards since the abuse I received was horrendous.
But that was three years ago. I didn't think I'd find another good community after that and I love it when I'm proven wrong when there's positives coming from that. I love how everyone's made me feel welcome here and honestly, I feel like I'm able to be a lot more open about myself ever since. So yes, TLS is the most recent influence and it's a place where I can be myself, rant, moan, laugh and live without feeling like I'm being judged.
Thank you very much, TLS. I love you all. <3
Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?
In America with the pretty people as a more confident version of myself with all the networks/gaming companies seeking out my amazing writing. It's a work in progress, but then it's best to look forward than to look back.
If you won shit loads of money, what would you do? (ignore if this question has been asked, or change your answer to a Sunday style answer
)
It's been answered, but I don't mind this one.
I'd give some to family, some to Gamerspective and put the rest in the bank. Oh, I'd also buy a house to feel like I'm secure. Not sure where, though. And perhaps incorporate money into making my writing come to life.
Would you date a person who smokes?
No. Smoking is a big turn-off, sorry.
Is there something "extreme" That you'd like to do? - Doesn't have to be that extreme, just out of your normal life - bungee jumping, canoeing, walking up a big ol mountain, jumping off a cliff into the sea, scuba diving, surfing, horsie riding, skiing, snowboarding. Actually go for a top 3!
Ok wow, I've actually done a few of the ones above already: reverse bungee jump, jumped off a ship into the sea after a bottle of champagne (I was 10, don't judge me!) and done an assault course that included Tarzaning into a net. So if we're going to do a top three, let's go for these:
- Snowboarding
- Climbing a mountain
- Jet skiing
Yes, I tan amazingly well! I thank my distant Jewish relations. Give me a day in the sun abroad and I'll honestly look like I come from Turkey.
Oh no, I can't. We don't go well together, trust me!
I do! It's rare I have it though, the mood has to strike.
