What have you wanted to do for years but haven't gotten around to yet?
Take a trip to the UK/Ireland.

If you could visit any 3 places in the world for a week each, what would they be and why?
New Zealand, mostly because I've always held a bit of a fascination with the place AND I'd try really hard to get cast as in the Hobbit, Chernobyl, because I hear the radiation levels have gone down to "relatively safe", and whatever part of Italy that isn't where the tourists gather but IS in the countryside, I have always had this weird fantasy vacation in my head where I'm back packing through the Italian countryside and some old italian dude invites me in for dinner and it's AMAZING.

3 part question; How many countries have you gone twosies in? How many states? What is your favorite place you have ever "dropped the kids off at the pool"?
Great, I finally get asked an anonymous question and it's a lame yet amusing poo question.
*sigh*
Anyway, I've only ever been in another country for about 3 minutes and 20 feet. Canadia. So...no twosies. States? Umm...Well...every single one on the east coast plus say 10? Maybe more? I don't know...I'll just say half of them and call it that.
Favorite place I ever did a dumpty do? That would be off the side of a cliff while mountain climbing. There was no stopping the laughter of me and my friends watching our poo drop hundreds of feet as we imagined the climbers after us coming upon it...
Rocky Horror People. What is your biggest Rocky Horror pet peeve?
Rocky Horror people. Not the people that go to the show or perform, but the people that obsess over it....except for Larry, well, because he's a good sport when I mock him.
If you were to start a Concept band what would be your concept and what would you call the band? (for example a ska band that only does foreigner covers or a folk punk group that only does songs based on the movie willow called The Offgoods go Bad.)
For many years I wanted to start a band that did nothing but punk covers of Beach Boys songs.
But I also considered a synth pop band that just did songs based on post apocolyptic settings and movies.
Who inspires you the most?
People who take the shit that life gives them and not only make the most out of it, but take it past the f'n limit. Adventurers, people who say, fuck you, I'm gonna be amazing.
Do you tuck your sheets in at the foot of the bed?
Nope, I like it when I first get into bed, at a hotel for instance, and in those cases, I rarely kick them out (I don't move a lot in my sleep). However, when home, I more often wrap the end of the blanket/sheet around/under my feet.
fine. i'll play along. what was your first impression of me (and has it changed)?
You're a fun-lovin party girl with a taste for the hard stuff. It has changed but only a little. For having known you for about a year or two now, I barely know you. We damned near never talk in person. But I have had chatted up your manfriend enough to know that he's a pretty awesome guy and I'll just have to assume that you must be pretty awesome. However, I think we're two very different people and don't think we'd be very close friends. BUT...I could be totally mistaken.

If you're straight: Pick a celebrity of the same sex that you would have an intimate encounter with. (any age, living or dead is okay) If you're of the homosexual persuasion: Same question but opposite sex. If bi-sexual, just answer the fucking question.

So, you're going camping. Do you shit in the woods and wash up in a stream or lake? Or do you have to choose a camp site with nearby "modern" facilities?

Spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch...and cell phone...okay. What's one item out of the usual that everyone carries (read the beginning of this question for examples) that you always have with you? Answer honestly, you may be called out on this.

you're on death row. instead of your last meal, your given choice of your last sexual act and partner. who do you choose, what 3 objects are involved, and what is the location?
It's a hard toss up (off?) between Rosario Dawson and Salma Hayak. Objects? If I have to choose three they would be, a bottle of wonderfully scented massage oil, a queen sized bed and a towel for cleaning up afterwards. Location? A beach hut with only 3 walls and a beautiful view.
What was your favorite childhood meal?
My mom's meatloaf or "garbage stew", it was a stew that she made with chopped meat and more vegetables than you can imagine, basically, anything that was lying around, which is why she called it "garbage stew"

What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought?
My 17" Toshiba laptop. Yeah yeah...boring answer, I know.
What is one song you associate with an event in your life?
"Seemed Like the Thing to Do" by Dinosaur Jr. is one song that I'll always have a singular solid memory attributed to. It is, however, one of the few private memories that I won't share.
Have you ever hit rock bottom? If so, what was your rock bottom moment?
Wow, helluva question. Oh yes, several times actually, unfortunately. I don't mind answering this on a more personal level, but it's not something that I'd post publicly.
I will give you an answer on here, though, and say that the first time was the beginning of my "vagabond days" when I was 18 and my step-father lost the house and I decided to take my freedom to the wind and the road rather than live with him any longer. I had lost my home, soon after, my girlfriend broke up with me, I had an $80/wk job that had been all I needed for a while, but couldn't seem to get work and had no real means to support myself, most of my friends had gone away to college, I had no car or driver's license. All I had was a duffle bag of what belongings I could carry with me and a bunch of good friends that would lend some couch or floor space if needed, but I never wanted to be a bother and made myself scarce as much as possible and did my best not to overstay my welcome. That lasted about 4 years.
Oddly, there's been worse that I've went through since then.
When you are really drunk are you the person who loves everyone, the person who likes to talk about the meaning of life, the person who is throwing up in the wrong bathroom or none of the above?
Ever watched Jackass? That's me when I'm drunk. Ask anyone, I'm pretty sure they'll all vouch for the truth on that one.
Aside from that, I'm the kind of guy who loves almost everyone to begin with, so it's just amplified a little when I'm drunk. I also, often, get really hyper, which rolls the answer back to the beginning.

C'MON NOW!!!! I'm givin' you guys tons of questions on here to keep it active, but too few o' you maroons are actually reciprocating!
if you could take a weekend trip anywhere out of the tri state area right now, where would it be?
Probably Portland, OR to check out the viability of moving out there.
i've just given you $1,000. all your bills and mundane shit like that are already covered. what are you buying?
Dahon Speed D7 folding bike which I've wanted for a few years now, and the best hi-def TV I could get for the money I have left...which I've also wanted for years now.

How many tattoos do you have?
12 as of last week. 4 on my left arm, 2 on my right, 1 on my left shoulder, 2 on my chest, 1 on my right hip, 1 on my left calf and 1 on my right ankle.
You're out in the jungle with a group of people on a "Survival Trip". It's late at night, everyone else is asleep but you. There's a guy that's been a complete douche the entire trip, you notice a poisonous animal crawling up to them. What do you do?

Ever seen Miracle Mile? If not, make sure to have a cuddle buddy, at the end of that movie, you'll need one. With that being said... You find out that nuclear missiles have been launched. You have 12 hours left before the bombs come. What do you do?

What TV show do you wish was still on the air?
Right now? Stargate Universe. They got shafted BIG TIME. Stargate Atlantis is/was a close second, but the ending of the last episode was satisfying enough to say, "Okay, well, they're not in the Pegasus galaxy anymore, so where the hell are they gonna go from here?" I think the show might have just gotten weird.
Then, of course, there's Firefly.

You've woken up as the opposite gender, you don't know if this will last a day or a year or more. What do you do? Do you call a doctor? Your family? Friends? Or do you accept it and just try to adapt your life to the change? How will people react?
First thing's first. I'd probably start by checking myself out and subsequently masturbating. Once that's out of the way, I'd probably be spending the rest of my time trying to prove to people that it's actually me. Because really...who would believe it? Everyone would just think I was crazy.
I think it's something that I'd have to learn to accept. It's not like you could fight it. I've always found adapting to extreme and odd situations to come very naturally, so I don't think it would be a problem and I would just make the best of it.

fine. i'll play along. what was your first impression of me (and has it changed)?
This guy seems pretty cool. (no)
If you were stranded on a desert island and you had to choose one album, one movie, and one book to have with you, what would they be?
The book is easiest, Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. Movie? Hmm...VERY tough one...very, very tough. I'd say, under the circumstance of being stuck on desert island..Conan the Barbarian or Shawn of the Dead, I know, weird choices, but I find both movies oddly uplifting and inspiring. Album...hmmm...I'm not going to over think this and just name Minus the Bear's "Menos el Oso" just because it's a great album and it's currently in my head...again.
Toilet paper...a matter of contention. Do you put it on the roll overhand or underhand? (fyi, I prefer overhand...people who put the roll on underhand can not be trusted)

How did you find out about Rocky? When/why did you first go? How do you feel about the ways it has changed over the years?
I first found out about the movie either on an episode of Night Flight or late night on cable. I found out about the "show" through a girl that I was friends with.
Whereas I do appreciate how it's grown, it's definitely come a long ways in terms of costumes and performance and such, due, I feel, in a large part to the community coming together via intertronz. I sometimes miss the "punk-rocky" the more chaotic, anarchistic shows where the cast was more about fun and the audience would REALLY participate....there's something to be said about those days that I feel are long gone now. Most casts let ego hold too much sway on them, and forget the people who allow them to do the show week after week, aka, the audience.
Fine, fine. My stifled narcissism and curiosity got the better of me. What do you honestly think of me, Sir?
I think you're talented, smart, very sweet, adventurous and adorable. You've got a big heart and a bigger spirit. I see quite a bit of the best parts of what I used to be in you and it makes me excited to see what you'll do with the world around you.
this one is going 'round: what do you honestly think of me?
I can't really say what I honestly think of you. But I suppose an answer could come out of the question, "What do I think when I think about you?" I'm not going to answer that question in full because, well, just because. But I will say this, I would actually like to hang with you in the real life world of life for real. You seem to be pretty keen-o and I'm sure we would get along smashingly.
Seriously, do you think you could take me in a fight? One on one, no weapons or armor.

I'll bite. What do you honestly think of me?
I don't know anywhere near enough about you to form an honest opinion. But, so far as I can tell, you're not an all together bad person.
If you could live anywhere in the world, but you had to stay there for the rest of your life, where would it be?
I'd have to say right here in Jersey, maybe a little west of here though, further into the woods. This way, I'll always have friends close by enough. I'm also close enough to anything I'd ever need. I'd have a nice place in the mountains, but still be close enough to the city if ever was my wont to travel in for a spell.

What is the one song that when it comes on you just have to blast it and sing your heart out?
Jeez, there are so many (ask Jeff, hehe, he'll back me on that, he's worked with me long enough to hear me singing all day). But off the top of my head and most recent, "Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Bowl-O-Rama" by Minus the Bear. I sing it loud and I sing it well.
Okay, I'll bite on the meme, albeit, with a modicum of fear: (if you're brave you'll send this to all your followers) : whats your honest opinion of me? :)
Hmm...truthfully, it's hard to say. I think you're pretty cool. You seem a genuine sort and a good friend. But to paraphrase what you once said about me, you only know me through bits and pieces.
Who's the best teacher you ever had? What made them your favorite?
Mr. James O'Rourke. There was no better teacher in this world. The man was amazing, creative, caring, highly intelligent and most of all, passionate about what he did. He supported all your ideas and tried to nurture them into reality even if they were a little out in left field. I'll never forget him.
Do ya love me? Are ya playin' your love games with me? (bonus question, have you ever drunk Bailey's out of a shoe?)

Fine. I'll ask you something original this time. What is your favorite old school video game, and your favorite up-to-date video game?
Old school...Mail Order Monsters for the Commodore 64.
Unless we're talking arcade, then I might say the old stand-up Return of the Jedi game.
So, i'll do the same thing you did to me: what is your honest opinion of me?
Right now, unoriginal ;p In general, I think you need to find some better concept of yourself. There are times when I think you do things not because you like or are interested in them, but because you think people you admire are interested in them and you want to, for lack of better term, impress them. I think you're a relatively intelligent guy and you seem to have a good heart, I'd just like to see you work towards a more realistic goal for yourself. Sort of evolve into a more defined person.
If someone were to ask you what fictional character (ex: someone from comics or sci-fi or the like) I remind you of , or makes you think of me, who would you pick?
Wait..you asked me two questions, both are questions that I'd sent to you. So, right now, you remind me of those creatures from the movie Mimic who just copy people.
Name your guilty pleasure movie. You love it but have a hard time admitting it to people.
Hmmm...I've always been pretty okay with being vocal about any movies I like. I don't really have a hard time doing so. I'll say the one I could aways bring up is Moulin Rouge, and only to tell people that not only do I love that movie, but also that every viewing will inevitably end with me sobbing.
Name an album (or three) you could listen to start to finish, three times in a row, without getting sick of it. Why, if you care to elaborate.
Hum - Downward is Heavenward; It's just an incredible album. Dinosaur Jr. - Green Mind: It's been one of those albums that's always with me. Gorillaz - Demon Days; gotta get my groove on.
You get to be a superhero (or at least a mutant) for a week. You get to choose your powers. The catch is that you get a different power each day of the week. What 7 powers do you choose, in what order, and why?
1) Flight to see the world as best I can. 2)Breathe underwater and explore the ocean. 3)Telepathy, just to get a grasp on what people are thinking 4)Super-Intelligence, to make sense of the things I learned with telepathy and also create some awesome shit (hello Tardis). 5) Weather-Control (a'la Storm) to give rain to the places that need it and stop where the floods are doing damage. 6)Invisibility just because I think it would be neat. 7)Invulnerability - Use my last day to kick some ass where it needs kicking.
What irrational fear do you have? Like you know ridiculous but you can't stop being afraid of it.
Hmm...I answered this one a bit ago. But my irrational fear is Nuclear war. The bombs being dropped. Maybe it's from growing up during that part of the cold war or movies like 'Miracle Mile'.
You have a round trip ticket to anyplace, anytime in the future. You have a two hour window of opportunity. The only thing you can bring back is whatever you write on a time-proof notepad you are given before the trip. What do you do?
I would stand on the cliffs next to the GWB because I'm pretty sure they're not going anywhere or being built upon. Then I would travel 500 years in the future and see what NYC looks like, then head home to see what my neighborhood looks like, then look up myself to see if I did anything important and take a note of some small, regular future device to patent when I come back.
Okay, you're traveling back in time to talk to your 6 year old self. Oops, you went back too far. You meet your parents shortly before you're born. What do you say?
Stay together for my sake. If you can't do that, just stay in touch and share custody, I'll really need both of you and what's going to happen in my life later would be better avoided. However, please, move north, I don't want to grow up in Florida, I assure you of that. I need mountains and punk rock.
Okay, I'll bite on the meme, albeit, with a modicum of fear: (if you're brave you'll send this to all your followers) : whats your honest opinion of me? :)
You're the bees knees! No really, you're pretty awesome, I immediately have an increased respect for anyone who speaks more than one language. You seem to have a pretty positive outlook on life too and that's too much of a rarity nowadays so, again, something that I admire.
If you could relive any experience of your life, bringing with you the knowledge you have now, what would you choose?
The four years from 18-22 when I was pretty much homeless and just went where the wind took me. If I knew then what I know now, I'd have done a lot more with that time and been less afraid to take bigger chances.
Ok, right back at ya. You're sick as a dog and running a fever so you're home for the day and holed up on the couch. What 3 movies are you watching and what is your favorite "sick day" comfort food?
Ghidorah - the 3 Headed Monster, the Green Slime and Logan's Run. Honestly, those have been amongst my 10 favorite movies to lay on the couch and watch while sick since I was just a wee lad. As for my sick day comfort food, when ever I was sick at home as a kid, watching those movies, my mom would invariably bring home a Whopper meal from Burger King with both fries and onion rings. It's one of those things I've sort of held on to. Maybe, subconsciously, when I'm sick, I revert to 8 yr old me.
When did you first know you had to be part of Rocky?
The "origin story" of how I started Rocky is up on my profile on the rockypedia.org page. But to sum it up, I'm a ham, and here was easy access to an audience of my peers to entertain every weekend.
I've been asking all the questions 'round here, don't any of you have questions for me? Go ahead, ask away, ask anonymously I don't care!

If you had one opportunity to go back in time and talk with your 6 year old self. Do you think they'd be proud of what you are now? What do you think they might say? What advice would you give him/her?

Other than Sarah Jane, who's been your favorite of the doctor's companions?
I absolutely loved Donna. She should have had a much longer run. Martha was awful, they should have let Donna travel with the doctor from Runaway Bride til the end.
