15 Minutes 15 Minutes with... NotaHenchWench

[NotAHenchwench]

From the ever-clever Lunar_Wolf!

If you woke up with a bald head, would you rock the style, or cover it with a hat?
If I woke up with a bald head, I'd probably be so devastated I wouldn't leave the house. I'd give my mother some money and have her go get me a wig that was as close to my hairstyle as humanly possible.

Tit or tat?
"They say that life is tit for tat, and that's the way I live. So, I deserve a lot of tat, for what I've got to give." Does that answer your question?

Best video game of all time?
Silent Hill 2. Hands down.

Batman Forever or Batman Returns?
Returns. More memories with that movie. Particularly because I was that version of catwoman for halloween once. If you guys want to see it, let me know and I'll upload it.

One movie you'd love to watch when totally drunk?
Probably Blazing Saddles. That sounds like a great time.

Who'd win in a fight, Immortal or TAC?
Hard to say, I'd imagine they wouldn't get very far without TAC just walking away saying "Not worth it."

Fav Superhero?
Generally, it's always been Batman for me.

Fav drink?
Alcoholic: A glass of Merlot. One Ice cube.
Non-Alcoholic: Diet Coke. Yes, I know it'll kill me someday, but what wont?

Mars or Snickers?
Hmm... does Mars have peanuts in it? For some reason, my stomach rejects any kind of combination of peanut[butter] and chocolate together. I can have them separately and enjoy both, but when together, it's splitsville.

The Flash or Green Lantern?
I'm just beginning to branch into Green Lantern, so I've gotta go with that for now. Stay tuned.

From the ever-saucy Lightning Strykez!!

A life with no stress, or a life with no sex?

Is this a trick question? I hate being stressed, so I'd much rather have a life of no stress. And, I love sex too much to give it up.

 

[DarkReflections]

Who's your favorite Actress?

Who's your favorite Actor?

Seeing as how you are a video game addict and horror fan, are you a fan of James Rolfe (aka The Angry Video Game Nerd)?

 

[NotAHenchwench]

From the ever-Avatar-loving Kane52630!

Favorite viral Video?
Could you please clarify a little bit? Viral in terms of what? Internet popularity or a Viral Campaign for a movie?

What did you think of Watchmen? (the book and film)
Loved the book, liked the film. I liked the film because it was colorful. I'm extremely attracted to bold colors. It's what drew me [haha, drew...] to comics in the first place, Batman especially.

Are you looking forward to AVATAR?
While sitting in 2012, I saw a preview. I don't know if I'll see it. I'm not terribly excited about it, but then again, because I don't generally watch previews anymore, it might be interesting to see because of the colors.

I'm a parrot at heart, people.

 

[NotAHenchwench]

From the ever-provocative knowsbleed!
What do you look for in a man physically?
His eyes. I have to look into his eyes and be pulled in so far I can't get out. His eyes have to make me say "I want to know you, I want to know more about you". Some people's story leaks out through their eyes, sometimes I can sense it, sometimes I can't. But generally speaking that's what I look for.

I'm partial to Blue eyes, but I really don't have a preference. I'm also partial to blondes, but again, not a requirement.

I'm not really always concerned with the physical. I'm the kind of woman who sees a person and THEN I find things attractive about them. I guess my own self-esteem issues have trained me into loving every kind of body type, or at least being able to find something positive about everyone.

What do you look for in a man mentally?
Everything. Haha, I want it all, and I want it now.

He HAS to be able to make me laugh. This is requirement numero unissimo. He has to be intelligent, creative, have a very active imagination, and appreciate one as well. He has to have a sense of self, and independence. I enjoy being in a relationship, but it's not about the other person, it's how you see yourself thriving side-by-side with a like-minded individual.

I also look for someone who enjoys the same things I do. Video games, movies, music... I like it if he's open to new things, and I like it even more if he can introduce me to something that I haven't seen or tried.

What are your pet peeves when it comes to men?
Ohh boy. Where to start. A lot stems from poor communication and drama. I have very good intuition, and I can tell almost instantly when someone is lying to me. I don't take dishonesty in any light lightly. It infuriates me, and I lose my temper, which is a very dangerous thing for me to do.

I've dated a brooder once, and it'll never ever happen again. I'm not looking for a brooding hero, I'm looking for the clever self-confident villain who knows what the hell he's doing.

How many past relationships have led to disaster?
Only 1 out of the 2 I've been in in my life so far.

They were both pretty lengthy, but for the disastrous one, we were together for 5 years, long distance. He ended up cheating on me [and then lied about it] and I found out. Needless to say, I was very upset. In hindsight, I grew up. He didn't. But, I'm living a better life now and having gone through it.

Do you think that women go for bad boys... if so, why?
I think the wrong women go for bad boys. I think if you're a woman who can dish the bad as much as it's given, you've got more of a shot of being happy. Good girls who go for bad boys are always disappointed. Also, it depends on the kind of bad boy you're talking about. Are we discussing motorcycle bad boy? Or a much darker, near broken psychotic bad boy?

Brazilian waxing... approve of? If so... have you had any? If not... why not?
Oh, I approve of them. No, I haven't had one. I'd like to, but I'm pretty self conscious about my body as it is and probably one day I'll get it done, but right now I'm a little chicken**** about it.

You've met the man of your dreams... head over heels in love... but he's really hairy in places you don't want hair to be... what... do... you.... do?
This is why the gods invented Veet, or a razor. And hey, if it's in a spot he can't get to easily, I don't mind helping, haha. Honestly, if I was in love with someone, there isn't a lot I wouldn't do for them, provided they were as in love with me.

 

[NotAHenchwench]

From the ever-eloquent Ahura Mazda!
Are you a student or have you embarked on a career?
I am a student right now. I'm set to graduate this upcoming May with a Bachelors of Music in Performance and Education, concentration in Voice. I honestly have no idea what I'll be doing. I've been flirting with the idea of getting a graduate degree in Library Science because I adore working in the library.

Do you find what you do satisfies you or is it something you feel forced into?
Music used to satisfy me, but right now it' a little difficult. I feel like I'm doing the music for everyone else except myself. I will always sing, and I will always love music, which is why I think I want a different career than just teaching music so I can enjoy it again, on my own terms.

When wearing a costume do you project yourself into the character you are portraying?
Absolutely. If I'm in any costume, it takes me a little time to do the grunt work to write a blurb about the character I'd be portraying [whether it's in an Opera or just for play], and how I can add a little piece of myself into it. The idea of being in-character while in costume is extremely important to me.

Is it for escape?
What an interesting question! The short answer is yes... I enjoy throwing my own life out the window and adapting a whole new set of problems, solutions and traits. Especially when I can draw something I've been through into a character, it makes it all the more satisfying and enjoyable, no matter the medium.

 

[NotAHenchwench]

From the ever-purple pant-wearing Bruce Banner!

Ahahaha. So I was the hype nemesis?
Fun times when me or you joined.
It was a very good time. You really got me thinking of how to cleverly threaten your Hype existence :P

Question time

1. Most overated film
Twilight. I have read the books, and they were... okay.... I guess. But this hype over the movie is kind of scary to me. Especially because all these girls are in love with a vampire who is basically abusing his 'true love'. =/

2. Most overated actor?
Johnny Depp. Now, that isn't to suggest I don't like him. I love him, actually. I just don't like seeing him in every awesome dark and avant-garde role out there. There ARE other actors who are perfectly capable of doing it.

3. Ever had a moment where you thought you might be a little crazy?
A single moment? A little crazy?

I'll be honest. I have spent some time in a hospital. It wasn't because I went psycho, it was because my mother was over-worried about my mental state after my father died. She shouldn't have sent me there.

But that aside, I've always been amazed that I'm able to go day to day in normal society and people don't pick me out as being not-normal. So in an answer to your question, I always feel like I'm crazy, but I know that about myself, and I like it. It gives me an edge, and I like to think I use it constructively and to my advantage.

4. The shovel, where did you put it?
Sooo tempted to say something mean... you're good, Banner.

5. Harley Quinn, ever imitated her voice?
Oh, all the time. Sometimes without realizing it, actually...

More questions soon
Looking forward to it.

 

[NotAHenchwench]

From the ever-polite E-Man!
What was your favorite cartoon as a kid?
Gargoyles, with Batman: The Animated Series coming in at a close second.

Is it true that you are indeed not a hench wench?
Well, I'll put it this way. I'm not JUST a hench wench.

Do you feel that us 2009 newbies will take over the hype someday?
Not take over, because I believe the oldbies are the backbone of this place, and the ones that have been here the longest are the real meat of this place. I would, however like to eventually see a 2009'er become a moderator someday. It would be pretty cool.

Have you seen any sailors around here?
Sober ones?

I'm looking for a man named Lan Di, have you seen a black car speeding past here?
Is this a Shenmue reference? Did I get it?

Want to try lucky hit?
How about a game of lucky hit?
Haha, I imagine this could be as annoying as Navi's "Hey! Listen!" Or Ashley's "LEEEEEEOOOOOON!!"

If you could beat up one person without consequence, who would it be?
One person? I don't think I can answer this, really. I wouldn't beat up someone who couldn't take me in a fight, and I'm not one to just beat on someone if they -can't- fight me back. And, I don't resort to physical violence... because most of the time by the time it gets to that point I've torn them apart mentally. =/

What is happiness to you?
Happiness is being content with who you are as a person. All of you. Your image, job, life, relationships.

 

[Bruce Banner]

1. So what was your idea to threaten me then?

2. Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine or Ada Wong (in a situation).......

3. New York City or LA?

4. Whats so wrong with a brooder?

5. Duality, how prevalent is it in your life?

6. So where are those purple jeans your gonna buy me?

7. Most favorite Film Noir movie?

8. Trust, very few?

9. Trench coats, how do you feel about them?

10. Law & Order/ favorite character?

 

[E-Man]

lol Yeah those middle three questions about lucky hit and Lan Di was me curing my boredom with Shenmue questions.

Edit: And Bruce Banner gave me an idea for another question. Since you're an RE fan, who is your favorite male protagonist? Leon or Chris?

 

[NotAHenchwench]

From the ever-morbid Scissors!
Hello woman.
Hello, boy.

1. What's up?
The ceiling, then the sky, then the cosmos.

2. Feeling any better than before?
I am, both mentally and physically. Thank you for asking

3. You are an assassin and someone hires you to kill your best friend for 3.000USD. What would you do?
Well, if I was an assassin, I wouldn't have a best friend. So, I think that answers your question.

4. Rome or Venice?
Abruzzi or Calabria, please.

5. Imagine, you get a chance to play Harley in a cheap, crap movie and you have to kiss the Joker which is played by Steve Buscemi, what'd you do?
I wouldn't play Harley in a movie. I have a very distinct idea of how I would play her, and I doubt any director would give me THAT kind of freedom. As far as Steve Buscemi goes, I wouldn't choose to.

6. Your best friend leaves the country without letting you know, would you try to find the person and get back in contact or would you think "screw him/her"?
I'd figure if they had to leave the country, then it's their decision to make. I'd be worried that they were in some kind of trouble, and I'd like to offer my assistance, but it really isn't for me to judge. I'd just hope they were okay.


BONUS: Any tips for me for not getting angry all the time for stupid things?

Don't sweat the petty things, and don't pet the sweaty things.

 

[NotAHenchwench]

Again, from Ahura Mazda!

Would you put ice in every red wine you drink?
I tend to when I can. It stems from having wine as a child with my Italian family at dinner. I'd have a little shot glass with an ice cube filled with wine. It helped me acquire a taste for it and also a respect and knowledge about alcohol.

What is the best wine you ever had?
White: Traminer-Reisling
Red: Fortissimo Red Grape wine

Did you put ice in there as well?
If I'm in my own home, I keep my wine in the refrigerator . If I'm out, and it's appropriate, I'll ask for an ice cube. I just like my wine cold, I suppose.

 

[NotAHenchwench]

Once again, from DarkReflections!
Who's your favorite Actress?
Angelina Jolie.

Who's your favorite Actor?
Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Seeing as how you are a video game addict and horror fan, are you a fan of James Rolfe (aka The Angry Video Game Nerd)?
I am indeedy!

 

[Scissors]

Interesting.

Some more.

1. Abruzzi or Calabria?

2. During chess, what would be the best move to make?
I do not take "I don't play chess" or anything along the lines as answer, I do want a move!

e4 - Nc6
d4 - e5
Nf3 - exd4
Nxd4 - Qh4
Nc3 - INSERTMOVEHERE.

3. Which game did I just copy the first few moves of?

4. Jingle Bells! If we would be related and you'd be doing the whole gift giving thing, what would you get me?

5. Start a band! Which SHHers would you invite? (Say about 4 to 6 people) and what would they play?

 

[DarkReflections]

Gary Oldman. Your thoughts. About him as an actor, and his method of getting into his roles. How does he rank to you on your list of favorite actors?

 

[NotAHenchwench]

One more time, from Bruce Banner!

1. So what was your idea to threaten me then?
It was more like I was enjoying the banter we had. It was entertaining and got me thinking of new insults.

2. Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine or Ada Wong (in a situation).......
This is hard. I see myself as a Claire personality with a Jill attitude. As far as a situation, who said I have to pick?

3. New York City or LA?
Having never been to LA, I have to say New York.

4. Whats so wrong with a brooder?
There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not a personality type that works with me in a romantic relationship.

5. Duality, how prevalent is it in your life?
I'm a Taurus sun sign with a Gemini rising. Duality is EVERYWHERE in my life. I enjoy duality in art, music, lifestyles... Things come in twos in my life, and when I'm in a happy place, I expand on that and I've been known to write essays on duality in various multimedia. I would say I have a lot of it in my own personality, but I have a lot of other things in my life too. I'm an actress at heart, so I've got plenty of roles I can pull out and have a good time with, if that makes sense.

6. So where are those purple jeans you're gonna buy me?
They're at the tailors, because you ripped the last pair.

7. Most favorite Film Noir movie?
I'll admit, it isn't a genre I'm very familiar with but like most things if you give me a few titles I'll put it on my list of things to watch.

8. Trust, very few?
I trust myself first and foremost. I don't trust easily, and if it's broken, that's it, you're out of my life.

9. Trench coats, how do you feel about them?
I have a coat and collar fetish.

10. Law & Order/ favorite character?
Olivia. She's a strong woman, and I identify with that.

 

[NotAHenchwench]

Another question from E-Man!

And Bruce Banner gave me an idea for another question. Since you're an RE fan, who is your favorite male protagonist? Leon or Chris?

Chris. Leon is just... too boyish, I suppose. Chris just screams "I'm a man!" and that's way more attractive to me than Leon's sillyness.

 

[NotAHenchwench]

Yet again, more questions from Scissors!


1. Abruzzi or Calabria?
Abruzzi, so I could see family I've never seen before.

2. During chess, what would be the best move to make?
I'll take your queen, put her in my pocket, and walk away.

3. Which game did I just copy the first few moves of?
I have no idea.

4. Jingle Bells! If we would be related and you'd be doing the whole gift giving thing, what would you get me?
Probably a Slipknot mask that you wanted.

5. Start a band! Which SHHers would you invite? (Say about 4 to 6 people) and what would they play?

Excellent question!!!

Me - Vocals
Drakon - Bass and alt. guitar. [I'd need one sick bassline, and I have a feeling Drak would give it to me.]
Scissors - Drums [Steady, but a little crazy. ]
Cunning Stunts - Keyboard, alt. vocals [he seems like a screamer to me. ]
Ace of Knaves - Guitar [he'd tear it up]
SurgeonGirl - Guitar [Because she's awesome anyway, so why not add to it?]
Karebear - Backup vocals. [Because let's face it, I need some backup singers, and she's got pipes]

I'd call it 'Wenchy's Henchmen'

 

[DarkReflections]

In your opinion as a Batman fan, what would be the definitive movie to you? Not story wise, but who would play the characters, and who would helm the film?

 

[NotAHenchwench]

From DarkReflections!

Gary Oldman. Your thoughts. About him as an actor, and his method of getting into his roles. How does he rank to you on your list of favorite actors?

I have a lot of respect for Gary Oldman. He's been in many of my favorite movies, and I really like how he approaches a role. He ranks pretty close to the top of my list, actually, and I can't wait to see what else he has to offer.

The answer to 2 was Bb4, you'd be 15 moves away from taking victory.
And to 3 it was Sergey Karjakin vs. Vasily Borisovich Malinin from 2002/08/07 at the Sudak UKR, round 7 with Karjakin on White and Malinin on Black.


Additional question about the band:

What genre? Seeing the line-up, I'd say metal, going towards the Rammstein style.

What 5 Hypesters would you love to work with if you were to make a movie and what would be their jobs?

 

[Erzengel]

What is a dealbreaker for you when it comes to relationships? (i.e., doesn't like Spider-Man, too short, no career direction, etc.)

 

[The Navigator]

Would you rather:

A) Die in a compactor, staring up at the thing about to crush you, or

B) Die by a buzz saw slicing you up from your feet first?

Escape or other options of death are not available to you.

 

[WompuM]

So in what way aren't you a hench wench?
