pax_draconis's Fault. Am still ill and in a strange mood today, so the answers may be a lot odd...
1) What do you prefer to be known as, primarily?
John.
2) Why?
Because it's better than being known as C*ntpuffin.
3) What do you get out of a LiveJournal?
An opportunity to seek the respect and approval of my peers, whilst allowing me to maintain that I am merely writing for myself.
4) Do you post privately? (i.e., do you put posts up for only yourself to read)
No
5) If so, why? If not, why?
Because then I really would be writing for myself. And I don't want my respect or approval. I have recently considered it tho, as there are things that I'd like to talk about, without the opportunity for reply. In the absence of a human sounding board, an electronic one might do.
6) What's your earliest, coherent memory as a human being?
Sitting, being held by my father, in hospital, whilst my mother cradled my new born sister, and fireworks went off in the background.
7) What emotion do you primarily associate with that memory?
Fear.
8) How often do you think of or about that memory?
Occasionally.
9) Can you remember what you were doing last thursday evening?
Yes. I was at Heresy in Cov.
10) How long did it take you to recall that? :-P
About 5 seconds - the usual processing time on my brain.
11) What was your first coherent thought this morning?
I really wish that Byron would stop biting my nose.
12) Did you dream, that you recall, last night? If so, of what?
Yes, I always dream. I'm not going to tell you what I dreamt of tho, as it was my dream, and I don't want tot give you that sort of power over me.
13) What's your view on giant squid?
Mmmmmmm... Giant Calamari.... Yum.
14) Dread or despair - which is worse? Why?
Despair. It's a pit with greased sides and is hard to climb out of.
15) Picture a doll. What's your instinctive reaction?
Why is it broken?
16) Now picture a clown. Again, what's your instinctive reaction?
Flee!

23) What for, and why?
I'd like to be remembered as a writer... but only after I'm dead.
24) Have you ever considered acting?
Considered and done - I largely suck at it.
25) ... directing?
I'd love to try this, but only for film. I direct the visuals of my life all the time, and one day I'd like to share that with others.
26) ... professional writing?
Ummmm... well, uh, yes. It's the nearest I have to a profession atm. Not that you'd know it from these posts.
27) What does the word "plot" mean?
A plot is a small area of land.
28) What does the word "story" mean?
