Hype Life
When did you join the Hype?
Geeze, had to have been back in 03 or 04. I was running under a different name, I think "A French Gal" or something like that.
What’s your favorite forum?
Hmmm... I am partial to the Marvel forum (is a Marvel Zombie)
What brought you here?
When I first came to America as part of my education, I was already an avid lover of comic books. I literally punched in "Comic Book Forum" and this was one of the places which popped up. And here I am. lol
What made you stay?
Most likely ASSHAT. The members of it were a ton of fun to go at it with. That, and the free-for-all arguments I could start and revel in. In fact, I'm pretty sure my opening post was taking a shot at a mod here.
Who is your Hype Nemesis?
There was this one idiot who used to troll me on this forum. Twistyflat or something. Dude was about as smart as a bucket of rocks, highly contradictory, didn't know how to keep a debate in one line without detracting to try to make himself look right, couldn't admit when he DID do that, and liked to try and correct my spelling (English is not my first language) and used spell checker himself. =/ I sorta feel bad for his kid, because he'll grow up probably thinking antifreeze is a drink to be had.
Fave smiley(s):
Obviously.
What is your current avatar? lol My current avatar probably won't change for a while. But it's my "My eyes are up here" Power Girl avatar.
What is your Hype Pet Peeve?
I don't honestly have one. I guess parrot science types. "It's not explainable by understood science, and not supported by the vast majority of scientists out there, so you must be an idiot." Because that totally led to the discovery of organism caused ulcers. But that's a pet peeve of mine in the real world, too. So it's probably not fair. I'll say... Either way, you don't see it as much anymore due to the other possibility: Over-moderation. I was a much bigger fan of the Hype back when you didn't have to worry about calling someone out when they're being dumb and the most trouble I would get in is, "It may be true, but you can let it go" and I would say, "Don't tase me bro!" or something. Now it's where someone can make a highly offensive comment which may or may not target a racial group, I may or may not fire back in defense, and I get in trouble. It's like going to school. (Some dude made a racist French comment, I shot back, and I got reprimanded.)

Real Life:
How old are you? 25 come Valentine's Day
Where were you born? Marseille, France.
What’s your job? Engineer (I usually just describe it as, "I design things")
What kind of vehicle do you drive? 2009 SRT10 Dodge Viper
Dream car? 1969 Firebird Trans Am convertible (there was but one!! >.<)
What is your greatest regret? I destroyed a power transformer by trying to design a cyclotron when I was younger.
What is your greatest achievement? Getting a chance to work with the Z Machine. Never really thought I would. Or the fact I was fully capable of cutting out my native language without any form of relapse.
High school mascot? Didn't have one.
How do you like your steak? Medium-rare, of course.
What’s a bad habit of yours? Feel free to mention more if you’d like: I'm extremely forgetful when working on personal projects, and unaware of how I treat others from time to time. Which generally leads to all relationships I'm in to fail due to my bad habits.
Favorite Place to Eat? -Very- hard call. I can't think of one.
How many tattoos do you have? None.
Misc
If you could live in any fictional universe, what would it be, and why? Hmmm... I'll say Marvel Comics. Crazy whacky science, and no real fear of death, or staying dead.
If you could be present for any historical event, what? Why? I'd like to have been around to see the Tuskunga Event. I've often been curious how large of the explosion it must have been, or if it were just aliens or whatnot.
Name three people, living or dead, you would want to have dinner with? Tooooough question. Descartes, Art Bell (Maybe not, dude's extremely freaking creepy looking), and maybe Colin Powell.
What was the last film you saw at the cinema? The cinema? lol I haven't heard that term in forever. It must've been... Sherlock Holmes.
What is your favorite TV show? EDIT: Aqua Teen Hunger Force
What is your best childhood memory? Hmmm.... I'd have to say stealing my older sister's car. Well, used it. I returned it. Stealing implies I left it in Italy or destroyed it. She was pissed.
An embarrassing moment? Punching some guy for misinterpreting his compliment.
Which store would you choose to max out your credit card? Ooooooo..... Good one. I couldn't really pick just one. But I'd love to give it a shot at the Vieux Port back home.
What is the last cd/mp3 you acquired? Ballata Per Un Pistolero
Show us a sample of your handwriting? This will have to wait, since I actually don't own a camera. :P (My job won't allow me to have one on my phone, and I've never been the photographer type.)
