The puppet of the gryphon speaks - question and answer meme.
12 years ago
This was confiscated from :paradox043: after he tried to conspire against me. He will suffer more, rest assured.
But yes. This is the human puppet who I dominate in order to experience life through his eyes. He's rather cute, if a bit dim - he has the audacity to think I'm just a creation of his mind! Yes, the little fool really thinks he's "making these stories" up, rather than the truth: that I simply project them straight into his brain. Silly little creature.
Anyway, this is him speaking now. I may drop in occasionally.
1 Name:
Owen. Far better than if I'd been female, in which case I'd apparently be "Polly". I lost so much respect for my parents when I found that out.
2 Age:
Mentally? About three. That's three months. X3
3 Sex:
No thanks, we're briti-oh. Okay. Male, then.
4 Height:
Above sea level? No? Oh, okay. 5'10", then. Hoping I might reach six foot before my body fully gives up the ghost, but... it may just stay like this. Oh well. :3
5 Hair Color:
Strawberry blonde. Strawberries not included.
6 Eye Color:
Blue-grey.
7 Body Type: Difficult to say. I'm fairly muscular and heavily built, but I actually tend to look quite skinny 'cos I have long limbs. Beh.
8 Religion:
Officially (I did put it on the last Census), I'm a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Unofficially... fairly strong atheist. I just don't believe religion and science should be even considered on the same level as possible explanations for phenomena.
9 Ethnicity:
Gryphon. Alternatively, white caucasian. :3
10 Orientation:
Pansexual. You're all lovely.
11 Status:
Courting, shall we say.
~Favourites~
12 Color?:
Blue. And black. They all have their beautiful parts. C:
13 Soda?:
Schweppes lemonade. Tastyyyy.
14 Store?:
Have to be Games Workshop. I just love their universes - 40k is, for me, without the greatest science fiction world ever. No contest.
15 Animal?:
Seriously? Take a look at my name, my stories, my avatar, my artwork, and the innumerable times I have expressed my adoration for half-avian half-felines, and guess.
16 TV Show?
Has to be Sherlock. Who'd have thought a show featuring deranged genii and sadistic egomaniacs would be my thing?
17 Book?:
Terry Pratchett, who is my personal god of writing, and his Discworlds. Plus almost anything by Stephen King.
18 Music?:
Quite a mix. I adore cinematic music - Two Steps From Hell - but also enjoy a variety of rock and punk - Greenday, Bowling for Soup, Snow Patrol - some of the more pop style bands - the Feeling, Adele - and in particular the glorious happy-fest which is Owl City.
19 Song?:
It changes. Right now... "You're gonna go far kid" by the Offspring.
20 Band/Artist?:
...damn it, I just did this. Look above.
~This or That~
21 Soda or Juice?:
Juice is still tastier.
22 Music or Internet?:
I'm not giving up my tunes. Sorry, internet... but I can't stand Facebook and try to ignore funny kittens, so apart from these communities I write on, I'm not losing out too much.
23 Rock or Rap?:
Rock! Rap is just... no.
24 Dogs or Cats?
Dogs. I have a cat who may have inspired Damian in terms of pure cuddly yet ruthless evil. Dogs are safer and more active in snuggling. ^3^
25 White or Black?
Mmm... I like the darkness. Black it is. Sorry, Alex.
26 Myspace or Bebo?:
Does anyone even use either of those anymore? Well, regardless... it's neither.
27 Cell Phone or I-pod?:
iPod. For thy phone shall always be forgotten. (Seriously, I hardly ever use the thing, and when I do need to use it, I probably don't have it with me.)
28 Curly Hair or Straight Hair?:
Straight. It's nice hair, I think. C:
29 Lap-Top or Computer?:
Hmmm. Computer has to be the winner, as handy as the laptop is. The keyboard is so much better.
30 Corded Phone or Cordless?
As if I'd have a conversation in less than three different rooms! Cordless it is.
31 Mountain Dew or Pepsi?:
Don't really drink either, so... Mountain Dew has been known to be tastier.
32 Pen or Pencil?:
Pens. So much more clear and defined... until they start running out. PLUS - you can dismantle them and attempt to put them back together - I can reassemble a proper ballpoint pen (not just a biro) in less than twelve seconds.
33 MP3 Player or I-pod?:
Didn't I just say iPod for something else? Well, it's still iPod here. Tasty Apples.
34 Phone or Internet?:
Internetz. Show me the phone where I can
35 Single or Taken?:
Told you, courting a good friend of mine. Technically I'm married to her, but I don't think a fifteen minute ceremony between giggling teenagers during a Duke of Edinburgh expedition (using a ring made of ferns) exactly counts. XP
36 School or Work?:
I'd prefer to do neither. >:D But currently it be school. : P Can't find even part-time work, so these commishes are very delightful to me. :3
~Random~
37 What do you do on your spare time?:
When I get it apart, after the various activities, musical instruments two different productions, and revisional homeworking (yes I know I brought this on myself)... I write. Hadn't you noticed that? I also enjoy trying to draw and computer games. I do not enjoy sleep, which is why I take every oppurtunity to miss it. :P
38 What's your usual clothing style?:
I have a major thing for long coats. Beautiful badass long coats. Beneath that... skinny trousers are excellent, and I really like leather/rocker style jackets
39 Are you single or taken?:
You've done this before! I won't even answer this time...
40 Are you a virgin?:
Yep. My body is ready to be offered to the gryphons.
41 What do you think of one night stands?:
If you want, but I think sex should be between lovers. More fun.
42 Do you have any pets?:
More pets than sense, I think is the consensus.
43 If yes, how many?:
One loving dog, two ancient and murderous cats, two beautiful bearded dragons, and several siblings. :3
44 If you were to be anywhere right now, where would you be?:
Onstage, about to recieeve the Nobel Prize for Literature. 8D
45 Why?:
I want to write. And I want to write really well.
46 Ever gone Camping?:
Oh, yes. There is something absolutely heavenly about being snuggled and listening to the rain you ARE NOT IN.
47 Have you ever caught a fish and ate it?:
No. I'm more a "capture your prey after stalking them for seven years, tease and torture them until they're begging for it to end, then swallow them whole" sort of guy. Fish don't work so well with that.
48 Have you ever gone water skiing?:
Oh, yes. It was awesome.
49 Have you ever gone water tubing?:
That's... when you use a tube? I don't think so...
50 Have you ever gone skiing on a mountain?:
Yesyesyesyes. I adore it,I've done it several times, and I'm doing it again sooooon.
51 Have you ever gone tubing on a mountain?:
WHAT IS THIS TUBING YE SPEAK OF? 'TIS WITCHCRAFT.
52 Have you ever gone Snowboarding?:
I'm going to be trying it soon. I expect pain. :3
53 Ever gone to church?:
Used to, don't anymore except for the Christmas Eve Christingle. Even that's not really my thing.
54 Ever gone out of State?:
Er... I live in England, and I've only been IN-state once. Florida,a nd very lovely it was too.
55 Ever gone out of the country?:
You aren't listening to my answers, are you? Yes. Apart from Florida, there's a lot of places in Europe - France, Italy, Austria, Turkey, Greece and a few others - and Morocco and Egypt of Africa.
56 Do you resemble anyone famous?:
Imagine, if you can, the love child of Genghis Khan and Ronald McDonald. I am nothing at all like that.
57 Are you related to anyone famous?:
Technically... Harry Potter. Honestly. His father is played by my second cousin in the films. 8D
58 If so, who?:
You aren't reading this at all. I'm tempted to just eat you.
59 Do you think you're hot?:
Smokin'! >B)
Eh, i think I'm pretty good in that department, I just rarely have the interest and courage to return affections. : P
60 Do other people think you're hot?:
As of the last year, quite a few have. I think my writing has given me a confidence boost of sorts, so thank you very much indeed. :D
61 Do you think your skinny?:
Not exactly... I'm fairly muscular, but I may appear a bit skinny thanks to my long limbs.
62 What year were you born in?:
I was too young to remember it. XP
63 Ever been on a blind date?
Nah. If I don't really know you well, I probably won't feel much connection - I tend to be quite slow to start liking people.
64 What do you enjoy doing when your bored?:
I try to write, I succeed to waste time watching amusing youtube vids, I attempt to stab people in the face in various eras of history via the good ol' animus.
65 What do you do in the summer time?:
Much the same. But with more paddling pools.
66 Do you live in a house?:
Indeedy. Very nice house it is, too.
67 What do you have on your mind?:
"Let's see if we can pass 30,000 words tonight." "Also, you twit, SAVE your work this time." DX
68 What time is it?:
Dinner time! *licks beak* Now, come here, little interviewer. This is what you get for asking pointless questions... and looking tasty.

Only one way to prevent the secrets from getting out. *GULP*
Maybe.
Courting a lady gryphon!? :o
Don't think this means the Emperor will be any less voracious, of course.
Try the Akira Soundtrack OST numer 4,will be veery interesting..reflects the mine better side...
"Let's see if we can pass 30,000 words tonight." "Also, you twit, SAVE your work this time." DX"
Oh god fucking damn, that is horrifying to even think about. I was writing a story once (i'm a newer writer) and my word editor somehow saved it wrong I think, and the writing was all erased when I opened it back up. Luckily I was able to find an 'autosaved' version unharmed in the program's files. I can't even imagine how horrific it would be to lose a big piece like that. I'd rather get kicked in the nuts than have something like that happen to my writing.
But yes, I think I wrote that after losing 4,500 words of Balance of Power. I now realise I think I just saved it in a folder I didn't know about, but at the time it was awful. Worked out in the end though, the next version I wrote was much better. And I have never lost any work since then, cause now I always make sure there's an autosave on.
