How much money would you need to live comfortably? i could live comfortably on $50 a week if i had to. i lived with some self proclaimed 'anarchists' when i lived in Providence, RI, and they were all about "living off the land"...also i volunteered on  an Organic Farm two summers in a row where i worked 20 hrs a week (!) for  room and board. They paid me $15 every week to help sell vegetables at the market, and i pretty much used that for cigarettes and going to shows.
 What would be your dream profession if money weren't an issue?  i would like to be a reviewer for a music mag like Spin, or possibly my OWN magazine, while fronting my own band on the side, and traveling the world.

Spite Name four bands/musicians that you cannot stand: Creed, Guns n' Roses, Led Zepplin, Greatful Dead
Six movies you loathe:  Moulon Rouge,  Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, The Hangman's Curse (i just rented it...SO bad)  Lord of the Ring movies, Batman and Robin, any big Hollywood action poop bucket
Five things that piss you off: racism, bigotry, sexism, drama queens, mindless christianity
What type of people do you not get along with? drama queens,  people who are into the 'hip hop' look and personae, anyone wholesome or highly religious, teeny boppers
What is wrong with today's society?  SO much! Everyone seems to be obsessed with accumulating pointless crap, and being mindless consumers...so few people really seem to examine old traditions that we are expected to abide by, and if they do, it's usually in college, and expected to be just a passing phase. In a word: corporate greed (er um TWO words)
Obsession Do you collect anything? If so, what? i collect random, quirky or weird hats. i have about 15 trucker hats that say amusing things like : PEROT FOR PRESIDENT, or I'd Don't Dial 911 with a picture of a hand clutching a gun...i wear them when i want to look ironic.
Do you have any odd fetishes? i like to use vegan chocolate spread during four play
Do you have any irrational fears or phobias? i am irrationally afraid of choking to death. Sometimes i'll just get in this weird frame of mind and it will take an hour to eat something like a piece of pie, because i'm chewing every bite 500 times.

6 movies you like: The House of Yes, Pulp FIction, Battle Royale, Juhon, Party Monster, The Princess and the Warrior
Who is your favorite artist? Goya, from his dark period. it just fascinates me, that these were images that he was creating while descending into madness.
Don't candy coat, tell us the truth 1) What do you think about your country's education system? i think they are terrible. over populated, maddeningly repetitive and text books based on lies. it make me sick just thinking about it.
(2) Describe your opinion on one specific reality television show: i have a guilty pleasure: Vh1's The Surreal Life. but the way reality television has taken over everything is definitly scary.
(3) What do you think about American politics in 2004 compared to the political system of older generations? i don't think that things have necessarily gotten any better. Things were bad before, and thing's are bad now, just in different ways.
(4) What is your opinion on PBS (public broadcasting system): i believe that PBS is controlled by the Bush Administration, and is not to be trusted.
(5) What do you think of welfare and welfare recipients?  i'm a little more of an optimist in these matters. i think that its good that we have alternatives available to the needy, but of course there are going to be people taking advantage of that.
6) Did you know that in 2003 there were 34.9 million Americans in poverty? What do you think could be done to help this problem? fewer taxes, i guess.
(7) Your opinion on multiple use of abortion: whatever. i support woman's choice, so i would feel hyprocritical if i said that i don't support 'multiple choices' heh.
(8) Describe a time that you discriminated against someone. We have all done it, on purpose or not. honestly the last time i can remember discriminating against someone, is when my friends car broke down on the side of a high way and we saw a large black man walking towards us, looking thugish, and i was a little freaked out that he might be comming to try and mug us, when in actuality he wanted to ask if there was anything he could do to help.
 (9) Do you read or write? Give us examples.  i read a lot. Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman, Poppy Z. Brite, Charles Bukowski, Kurt Vonnegut, etc...and i write as well. Usually poems but occasionally i'll belt out a short story.
(10) What is your stand on body modifications? Do you have any? If so, lets see them! Post a picture(s). I am all for them! and i seriously mean that. i think that most people think getting a few peircings are cool, but cringe at anything radically different. I, on the other hand, absolutely love to see extreme body modification.
11) When you form an opinion on a topic, do you research it before forming an opinion or usually go with what you hear in general? it depends. in a way, i'm always researching because i read alot, including social and political zines. i'm naturally drawn to anything political and have several friends who are serious activists.
(12) What do you think makes a person an intellectual? What do you think makes them a bitch?  Being an Intellectual means thinking outside the box, expanding your personal knowledge outside the norm. a bitch is usually someone with insecurities that they are trying to cover up for by being bitchy. or a sadistic natured person who enjoys tormenting others.
