Questions don't have to be cypherpunk-related.

Fire away!

Socializing with people I don't know very well. My introversion means the experience is adrenaline filled, and actually very enjoyable for it. 8-)

Sunny & bright, but not hot. And I don't drink coffee. I have a "compulsive personality" so I try to avoid all potentially habit-forming substances. :anxious:

Odd. They're so much more interesting. And they might even be prime. :-s

Generally speaking, I'm not much of an animal person. However, labradoodles are cute... If it was a calm labradoodle, I might be more positive about it. Anyway, I find larger dogs are generally better companions.

Do you desire to become a Private Eye for a living?

A past version of me may have wanted to... I used to read a lot of Detective Zack and The Boxcar Kids. I started a detective club called the NRA which later turned into a simulated government club called the FFC. When I used to go RPGing here on the ToO I had a character named "Darlow Hoyal, Eyevate Pry, the Worlds most Famous Dyslexic Detective." You can see some of his antics here.

Duuuude...I read The Boxcar Kids all the time! I haven't heard of that series in a looooong time tho.

Do you really like pancakes? If so how do you like them made for you?

Would you rather have all the friends you could ever ask for, all of them nice, but none of them super close...Or a really good friend who listens to you and knows you better than you know yourself?

Do you like roller coasters?

Would you rather eat popcorn during a movie or a giant candy bar?

Do/did you do any sports?

What's your favorite ToO smiley?

Yay! A fellow Boxcar fan.

I do enjoy pancakes. I'm really not that picky of an eater, though. As long as they're not too white, I'm good. O:)

A really good friend, definitely; though I've learned that it is important to invest in relationships with a wide variety of people. Still working on that. :anxious:
Do you like roller coasters?
It's been a veeeery long time since I've ridden one. I think I was four years old. So I guess you could say they don't have much appeal to me.
Would you rather eat popcorn during a movie or a giant candy bar?
That's really hard. I'm not a sweets person, and neither am I a popcorn person. I guess I'll say popcorn.
Do/did you do any sports?
Not officially. My favorite sport for a pick-up game is Soccer, though. Definitely soccer.
What's your favorite ToO smiley?
:insane:

My. Looking through all those emoticons was sure a walk down memory lane.

Am I full of awe? Unfortunately, awe doesn't come naturally to me.

The thing that probably fills me with something most like awe is the human mind and the brain it inhabits. I never tire of studying them.

Do I inspire awe? Inspiring awe is not something to which I aspire. And even if I did, it would be for others to say whether or not I had succeeded.

Great as in large in size? No, I think I'm about average, in height and weight.

Great as in significant or important? No. I'm just a college student.

Great as in superior in quality or character? That's definitely the aim, but not something I can lay claim to yet.

Then what did I mean when I chose that username?

I have no idea.

It was a long time ago.
