15 Minutes 15 Minutes with AndThePickles

[POWdER-man]

Sorry! Will Spoons take you to Disney some time?

If you do go I recommend seeing these shows at least:

Spoiler

Lion King - Best show IMO
Fantasia
Beauty and the Beast

Who is you favorite supporting HP character?

What part from any of the books, that was left out in the movie, that you wish was included?
Maybe I should put this in spoilers (HP related)
[spoilers]With his past, do you think Snape should actually be considered as a good character or someone that was simply madly in love and did good things because of that love and for the most part only for that love?[/spoiler]

What is your best Christmas present ever (or most memorable?)

What is the best meal you can make?

Grape vodka and Sprite? Sounds a bit girly... What is the most drunk you have ever got?

Will Spoons be asking you any questions in here?


Btw you forgot to answer a question in my last set.. ...or maybe you just don't want to answer it...hmm actually you may have avoided answering that one.

 

[AndThePickles]

The stuff that I forgot:

Two weeks? hmm...I just remember seeing your name in red the once, and the next date it was back to blue. Obviously you would know how long you were a mod... would you try again now if given another opportunity or do you feel the circumstances are even more difficult to work with now? What was the most time comsuming part?

I would not try again, particularly considering that my forum preferences are now like a tiny island in the distance while everyone is floating further away from it out to sea lol.

It's time consuming to constantly check all of the threads, and there is so much that is moderated that no one ever sees, as timeliness is what helps make things run smoothly. And the decision making process for something controversial takes a long time. I was a much more efficient (and long-term) moderator at LSP. No disrespect towards anyone here as a lot of the mods are my buddies, but it just wasn't for me. And I think that they all know that.

 

[AndThePickles]

Sorry! Will Spoons take you to Disney some time? That is a question for Spoons, not me.

If you do go I recommend seeing these shows at least:

Spoiler

Lion King - Best show IMO
Fantasia
Beauty and the Beast

I would love to see all of those!

Who is you*r favorite supporting HP character? Sirius

What part from any of the books, that was left out in the movie, that you wish was included? Hahaha, oh dear, this would take an entire essay to list. I overall think that the movies were a DREADFUL representation of the books. I try to think of them as separate franchises, and that allows me to enjoy the films more. However, the last two films were pretty faithful to the book, which I appreciated.
Maybe I should put this in spoilers (HP related)

Spoiler

With his past, do you think Snape should actually be considered as a good character or someone that was simply madly in love and did good things because of that love and for the most part only for that love?

Spoiler

Snape was certainly the embodiment of the word "turmoil." I don't think that the petty evil things he did were out of love at ALL. Overall, I think his character is completely tragic, though, and I can't help feeling sorry for him. The major things he did in his life were out of love.

What is your best Christmas present ever (or most memorable?) I've actually already mentioned it in a different question, but the Sega Genesis and box full of games was so exciting when I was little. As an adult, Spoons always gets me amazing presents.

What is the best meal you can make? This may be another question better directed towards Spoons. I cook very well, IMO, and always get compliments from whoever tastes any of the food I make. I suppose the overall biggest hit I make frequently for parties/potlucks/holidays is spinach artichoke dip from scratch. It's a really easy one but everyone loves it.

Grape vodka and Sprite? Sounds a bit girly... What is the most drunk you have ever got? It's very girly! The most drunk I've ever been was on my 21st birthday. Halloween was on a Wednesday that year, and my friends wanted to take me to the costume party at a local bar near my college. So fine, I said let's go for an hour, as I had a midterm the next day. Weeelllllll I greatly underestimated how many people would want to purchase me shots and drinks and I completely lost track of how many I'd had. The latter part of the night is a complete blank...maybe 4-5 hours worth of time. I remember "coming to" on my floor as I was vomiting into my trash can in my dorm room, and two of my friends were taking care of me. Apparently I started throwing up in the bathroom at the bar (which I'm sure was filthy, ugh) and I also threw up outside of a Wawa in front of a cop. He asked my friends if I was ok, and they explained that it was my 21st and he just laughed. I know now that I should've gone to the hospital to have my stomach pumped...I vomited so much that I developed an inflamed stomach lining and couldn't eat solid food for a week. I missed my midterm but one of my friends lied for me and e-mailed the teacher from my account saying I had the stomach flu. She was foreign and believed it, so I got to take it on another day. Totally ruined the festivities I'd had planned for the weekend and poor Spoons spent the weekend taking care of me. I still feel guilty about that, as he wasn't even out with me the night that all of this occurred because he'd graduated already. The entire experience was a hot mess! I more than learned my lesson, though.

Will Spoons be asking you any questions in here? I have no idea, he's currently in our living room watching Attack of the Show.


Btw you forgot to answer a question in my last set.. ...or maybe you just don't want to answer it...hmm actually you may have avoided answering that one.

Fixed, I don't avoid questions!

When are you and Spoons going to play some Halo again? t:
Haha, I don't know! I do love Halo though, I'd be up for playing soon. This weekend would be great if we weren't potentially gonna lose power for a few days.
What was your overall reaction to the finale of Smallville? Relief that the series was finally over.

Are you aware you got me hooked on the Disney Store site when I need to buy gifts for my fiance?
Haha, no, I had no idea. That's so awesome!! I hope that she's been enjoying it

Good morning!

 

[AndThePickles]

[AndThePickles]

When you were younger (high school years), what was your favorite part about summer vacation? Spending the night at my best friend's house...she had a big house with a basement that had a back door, so we'd sneak people over. We'd also walk down the street at 3 a.m. to the local Food Lion and buy those rolls of cookie dough to eat raw and hair dye and have spa sessions lol. When I was like, 15 years old, we also all thought it was great fun to go out in the street in the early morning hours and make orgasm noises like in "When Harry Met Sally" at the top of our lungs.

Ever attempt to play a musical instrument, write your own music, or sing? I play the piano...was classically trained for 6 years. My piano unfortunately resides at my mother's house now, so I haven't played in a long time Part of piano training for more advanced musical theory is having to write your own music, so yes I have.

I sang for most of my life. I miss performing very, very much. I still love to sing, but now only have the opportunity to in the shower or my car, ha.

Does Spoons' comic collection get annoying/in the way? No Thinking of that, I have a few comic boxes at my mom's...should probably go get those out of her way.

Your "go to" alcoholic drink for a nice relaxing night at home? And one for out at a club? At home, I usually go for a really good beer. Favorites include Young's Double Chocolate Stout and anything from Ommegang.

Do you ever have a "dream concert" planned out? Like, if you could get various artists to tour together, which would they be? I like such a wide variety of music that any compilation of artists I'd want to see would probably be a very strange mixture. I would love to see Stevie Wonder in concert, though.

Do you believe in fate? Hmm, this is a very loaded question for me, particularly because my views have changed on this over the years. I think I do, to an extent. I think that *certain things* are "meant" to happen and will happen, but the steps along the way are the gray areas, and we can potentially change the outcome with these steps. So, for example, it may be in the cards for me to get married. Who I marry, and whether it is a happy marriage, is up to me.

Do you believe everyone is already born with their path in life already pre-determined. No. I think that you make your own path, and if you aren't happy about it, get off your ass and do something about it

What's your favourite kind of weather?

In the mid-80s, sunny with a few clouds, and a slight breeze.

What's the origin of your name?

Back when I joined the Hype, a comedian named Dane Cook was very popular. My favorite joke of his at the time was his "Burger King Drive-thru" joke, and I'd first heard it in high school before Dane was crazy popular, so I have great memories of listening to it and giggling with one of my friends...look it up and you will discover my username.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Ugh, Pickles, you're so ****ing awesome.

 

[Ipodman]

How would you rate your driving skills?

 

[AndThePickles]

Ugh, Pickles, you're so ****ing awesome.

Haha, well, thanks!

How would you rate your driving skills?

I know that I'm a woman, but I actually think that I've become a great driver. I've had to drive through blizzards, hail, and torrential downpours. My commute last year was on a crazy, traffic-heavy route, and my current commute is much worse. I've really had to become more aggressive (unfortunately) and you have to be very confident driving on the major highways around here, because other people won't give a damn about you. I probably speed too much.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Spoons comes home with Taco Bell, que awkward "oh I didn't know you wanted some" moment. does one ATP guilt him into part of his Taco Bell or do you just not care because you're a grown woman?

 

[Erzengel]

Who wins in a fight, Yoda, Gandalf, Dumbeldore?

Are you preparing at all for the Hurricane?

Are you still having "co-worker" issues?

Have you ever got inappropriate PMs from any poster on a messageboard?

Does this look infected to you?

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Would you go to a big dance party with all your favorite Hype members? (I'm there too, since it was my idea. )

First thing you do when you wake up in the morning?

Look to your left, what is the most valuable thing to you that you see?

Any major cities you'd love to see?

What is your guilty pleasure food?

Erzengel is standing outside your window playing "In Your Eyes" with a boombox over his head, what do you do?

 

[Ipodman]

Nah... I certainly don't think woman are bad drivers...

 

[AndThePickles]

Well, Spoons would know that I always want Taco Bell, but I wouldn't guilt him. If I wanted it that badly, I'd go down the road and get some.

Who wins in a fight, Yoda, Gandalf, Dumbeldore? I think that Yoda vs. Gandalf would be an epic battle, but Gandalf would win. Dumbledore sadly wouldn't stand a chance

Are you preparing at all for the Hurricane? I'm preparing, albeit last minute...I just realized we have no flashlights in my apartment lol. We have water and food, but I still think that a quick trip to the store is in order for this evening.

Are you still having "co-worker" issues? Thankfully no, at this point I work with a really great team of people overall and I've earned a lot of respect within my department.

Have you ever got inappropriate PMs from any poster on a messageboard? Hmm, not directly. But I've been forwarded plenty of them

Does this look infected to you? Put some Windex on it.

 

[AndThePickles]

Would you go to a big dance party with all your favorite Hype members? (I'm there too, since it was my idea. ) I most certainly would.

First thing you do when you wake up in the morning? Hit the snooze button on my phone.

Look to your left, what is the most valuable thing to you that you see? my iPhone

Any major cities you'd love to see? Oh, many. Vegas, Miami, and San Diego are the first to come to mind for the U.S.

What is your guilty pleasure food? anything with a lot of chocolate OR anything with a lot of cheese

Erzengel is standing outside your window playing "In Your Eyes" with a boombox over his head, what do you do? Come down and start doing an 80s dance routine with him, and back up dancers will magically appear out of nowhere.

I'm hungry.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Do you know who the girl is in my avy and if you do, what is your opinion on her character?

 

[POWdER-man]

Bah, I don't enjoy making typos.

I never read the HP books but...

Spoiler

Do you believe Dumbledore regretted using Harry as much as he did, or was it a necessary evil (the end justify the means)? Obviously it worked but still I wonder if he could have been more honest with him... I ask this because he came of as a bit of prick in his response to Snape being upset for him using Harry.

Should I read the books?

You are stuck on the island for the rest of your life. You may take one of each of the following items with you:
- DVD
- CD
- person
- board game
- unlimited supply of this type of food
- unlimited supply of this type of drink
- luxury item
*none of which can assist you in getting off the island or contacting someone off the island.

You just won $1 million dollars but you have to spend it within 24 hours. You can not own anything at the end of the 24 hours nor can you give it away. How do you spend it with style?

Will you ever play Survivor again?

Do you enjoy your work?

What you hate most about your job?

 

[Marx]

Are you a reality tv fan? If so, which reality shows do you watch?

Of the "big three" reality competition shows (Survivor, The Amazing Race, Big Brother), which one would you like to compete on?

 

[AndThePickles]

Honestly, I can't remember how that scene went in the book. I feel like it was different...I don't remember

Spoiler

Snape being upset at Dumbledore for using Harry

but I'd have to double check.

Should I read the books? YES

You are stuck on the island for the rest of your life. You may take one of each of the following items with you:
- DVD I'm alone, right? Something pornographic in case Spoons dies.
- CD A mix cd that I've made myself full of different genres of music.
- person My boyfriend
- board game Scattegories
- unlimited supply of this type of food I know I'm cheating on this one, but canned soup That way I can have tons of different varieties since it's all classified as one "type" of food.
- unlimited supply of this type of drink water
- luxury item a television/dvd player in one with its own generator so I can watch that DVD and listen to the CD
*none of which can assist you in getting off the island or contacting someone off the island.

You just won $1 million dollars but you have to spend it within 24 hours. You can not own anything at the end of the 24 hours nor can you give it away. How do you spend it with style?
I would spend it on a trip to the most lavish nearby place possible, and get the royalty treatment all day...the best spa and beauty treatments available, awesome posh restaurants, and then spend it going to a really nice club that night in the amazing new outfit I've purchased myself and buy everyone drinks (technically not giving it away) and staying at a penthouse suite in a nice hotel.
Will you ever play Survivor again? Eh, maybe. I don't have the time for something like that right now.

Do you enjoy your work? I do.

What you hate most about your job? The amount of ungrateful, selfish and self-entitled people that I deal with every day (from the general public, that is)
