What is your favorite hard candy?

No, mine are all quite specific.

Will you meet a tall, dark, handsome stranger this year?

I prefer beer of most any sort over cocktails, so Miller Lite.

Are you cold?

No. Drinking Miller Lite, but about to make a Manhattan.

Are you planning on participating in any New Years Revolutions?

I break a string.

Once a month bought, once a month homemade I would say.

What's the worst pizza you've ever had?

Triangles.

Favorite "big name" chain pizza place?

Principally Italian, with made-from-scratch pasta, sauces, and pizza crusts. We'd have a secondary specialization in steaks.

And Eloh cakes.

What is your favorite pasta dish?

Hans-Adam II, Prince of Liechtenstein.

Because you work hard and do a good job for our government oppressors.

Sadly, we're similar in the only way that counts: I can't get out!

Addendum: Fuck you, my answer was cleverer.

I would want people to talk about why money can never fix education or any social issue ever because social issues cannot be fixed by money.

Beer.

If you could live in any video game universe, which one would you choose and why?

S~V~S wrote:When I was a teenager, I had a dream that my brother was dead, and my mother refused to bury him. It was one of those dreams that feel real; when I woke up from it, the first thing i saw WAS my brother. I could have hugged him to death.

S~V~S wrote:What are you supposed to do, but you don't do it?

Support public education in principle.

You can lie detect one verse in the Bible. Which one is it?

My grandpa's funeral in 2010. He was an inspiration to me, especially musically. When he died, we had just had our vehicle repossessed because I had been unable to find work other than independent contract stuff online. We were literally too poor to pay our last respects to the man, and that bothers me to this day.

You can solve any problem any individual other than you is having right now with a snap of your fingers. Whose problem do you solve and why?

If you could eat something every day, what would it be?

That's too young.

I thought this would be a difficult question, because I love variety, but I could eat pistachios everyday.

What is your favorite nut?

S~V~S wrote:My husband, Gerard, without a doubt.

What goofy thing do you do that you have done since you were a child?

I pace back and forth and talk to myself. It's how I think through whatever is getting processed in my imagination. Believe it or not, there was a phase in my childhood when I did this while walking around my bedroom on a bowling ball.

If I may ask, how did your loved one pass? If not, what would you be having for supper?

S~V~S wrote:Do you have a lot of willpower, or are you an easily influenced/addicted personality?

"I can resist anything but temptation."

I can easily resist those things in which I hold no interest. What I am interested in becomes an addiction.

Late in November
When the trees have no leaves
Daylight surrender
When the seeds have no needs

What is the pace of your life like?

What plastic surgery would you have?
I wouldn't have any plastic surgery either. I like being me, ugliness and all! If I had to fix anything about my face, it would be a tooth.

I have been writing a fantasy novel since I was 12. I am now 31, and the first book of this series is almost finished. What do you think it's about?
A fisherman who finds a magical flute in his net but it's missing a few of the round flat things you close the holes with so he has to take it to the blacksmith who lives in the mountains with the goblins and when he's crossing the mountains he meets a girl who tells him she has accidentally dropped her magical flute off a cliff and it turns out the magical flute the fisherman has found is exactly the same magical flute the girl has lost so she teaches him to play it and together they defeat the dragon.

Was I right?

Pretty close. There are mountains in the story.

How's the weather?

Medium rare ribeye steak, Italian bread, and corn on the cob. Every bit of it on sale.

You get a free plastic surgery. What will you have done?

S~V~S wrote:What is the chair you are sitting in made of?

Mostly faux leather + duct tape and a hand towel.

What album(s) do most people love that you can't stand?

That's gotta be mine. Vapor Trails fucking rocks, even without guitar solos.

I have a few of these I can't stand that other love, but I'll go with ELP's debut.

Got ninja'd.

The worst was the flattop from the Headhunters (real barbershop across town my family insisted I go to every six weeks).

"No ma'am."

"WELL YOU SURE LOOK MILITARY."

S~V~S wrote:Incredibly pretentious as he is, I gotta say Roger Waters.

Oh dear! Roger Waters is a great singer, and a great songwriter, but holy hell, he's not a good bass player. Rick Wright even tuned his bass for him.

Jon Anderson of Yes.

What album do most people hate that you love?

Dana wrote:5 million dollars!

Where can I find information on your first two albums?

Second one is here:

http://epignosis.bandcamp.com/

The first one has been out since January of 2009 but I'm cleaning it up (read: fixing rookie mistakes in the sound that I can fix) and I plan to make it a free ("name your price") download on its anniversary.

The third one has been a painstaking process, but I don't know why I am surprised- its older siblings were too.

Who is your favorite bassist?

Superman.

How much money do you think I'll make on my third album?

I clip my toenails when they scratch my heels when I stumble.

What the hell is that noise coming from my kid's bedroom?
