3Q

[kingandy]

Accidentally engaged in the 3 Questions meme, so here it is:

Ask me three questions, no more no less and I will answer them truthfully. Then copy and paste this into your own journal.

1) Why King Andy? Where did the nickname come from?
2) Is it true that you have heard the 'tavern story' third hand from a different source?
3) When did you lose your virginity? (notice the subtle difference)

yes, no and maybe

[kingandy]

1) Honestly, I forget. I think I wanted to sign up to some kind of crazy intarweb forum and "Andy" was taken. Also not very distinctive. I think it was shortly after Paula took to calling herself "Good Queen Glinda" (because she was chair of Mancherter University LARS).
2) I don't think so. It has reached me from unexpected sources, but always in the context that they know it was me.
3) I remember it was a Christmas, but I couldn't pin down the exact year. I think I was at University, so let's say 1998/9. Although, not in the technical sense.

1) What's your greatest achivement
2) What's your favourite time of day
3) If you could be in a teen-pop band, would you?

[kingandy]

1) Tempting to say "Tavern Sauce". But I think I'll go with getting paid to draw artwork for a commercial product. The whole affair was quite farcical, and I had to wait about six months for the actual cheque, but at the end of the day money-art-win.
2) I like noon. Also the night, when I am asleep. Probably noon though.
3) Hellz yes. I assume you mean a successful teen-pop band, as opposed to an embarassing failure? Yeah, I've always been up for fame and fortune. Mostly fame.

1: Touch of Evil or Citizen Kane?

2: Pie or Pasta?

3: Why Roleplay?

[kingandy]

1. I've not seen either, I'm afraid. but I know Citizen Kane was the basis of an episode of The Real Ghostbusters, so wins on points.

2. Probably pie. But pasta is nice too.

3. Initially for the escapism. But if anybody asks me why I still do it today, I explain it's a creative, social and active hobby (possibly making mention of Skott Kurtz' justification for tabletop). It gets me out of the house and meeting new people ... as hobbies go, it's a fairly decent one.

*sob*

[kingandy]

It was a cool episode, but did rather spoil the ending of the movie. Basically there's this ghost floating around chanting "Rosebud" and they have to figure out what it's after...

1 You've just won £99.99 at bingo. What do you do with it?

2 You've just had a car smash with someone, neither of you is hurt, who is driving the other car?

3 How did you lose your virginity (oi! Polley! Hands off my repetitive style-e question!)

[kingandy]

1. I keep it in my pocket and use it as petty cash instead of teh next few visits to the cash machine. Possibly hire a PI to determine why I was playing bingo.

2. What? Last time it was a nice old couple driving a replacement Ka ... I don't understand. Possibly too drunk.

3. Truth or Dare. Although not in the technical sense. If you see what I mean.

1) Religion : Why?

2) Armageddon : When?

3) Salvation : How?

[kingandy]

1) Insecurity.

2) Armageddon is the end of the world; it happens with every decision taken. Every nail in a shoe that loses a battle, every butterfly's wing that causes a hurricaine. It's the little things that change the world.

3) Everyone Should Be Nice To One Another.

My faith in humanity is restored, now I can rest.

[kingandy]

Glad I could help.

How often do you check LJ?
If you had to live in another country which would it be?
What colour socks are you wearing?

[kingandy]

- Far too often; about every ten minutes in the work day because it's there and I'm bored.

- Probably the US, because I understand the cost of living there is lower and they get all the best movies first. Possibly Australia.

- BLACK

1) You get an 'Atomic super fun giant robot building plant' for your birthday. It can build one super fun giant robot of your design, no matter how ridiculous. What would you build?

2) What do you look for in a long term relationship?

3) What do you look for in a casual shag?

Are you coming on to me?

[kingandy]

1) A SUPER FUN GIANT one! It would probably transform into a dragon, or a truck. Big red truck.

2) Sense of humour. Must tolerate my SF habit, preferably be a user too. Crazysexycool.

3) Hm. I have no idea. I suppose basic (subjective) sex appeal would be a big factor, but if I was to set out with the aim of having a random shag then it would be second to willingness.

Stop! Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three...

[damiennightbane.livejournal.com]

1. What... is your name?
2. What... is your quest?
3. What... is your favorite color?

Re: Stop! Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three...

[kingandy]

1. Andy.
2. To become comfortably well-off, then retire and become a world-reknowned artist
3. Blue. No, wait, yellAAAAAAAARGHH

1. If you could have any 3 superpowers, what would they be?
2. If you had to write a personal ad, what would you put?
3. You wake up in a hospital bed to find that zombies are walking the earth, just like Jim in 28 Days Later. What's your survival plan?

[kingandy]

1. Three! Coo! Most of the time I have to pick one. Okay, I'll go for flight, and invulnerability (with the caveat that it doesn't affect my sense of touch. Doesn't have to include immortality, but that would be a nice bonus and a logical extension of the power). I'm in two minds about a third. I had a superspeed dream recently that was cool, but I think that's a standalone power really. I think either superstrength or eyebeams. Probably eyebeams, because strength doesn't help a lot if you're flying, and there is something to be said for hovering above your enemies and destroying them by staring hard. Also harder to accidentally crush people.

2. 26yo male, GSOH, seeks similar for larks. Or something.

3. Raid a hardware store (chainsaws! Nailguns! Saws and axes!), then travel to somewhere isolated and raise crops. Possibly on an island, so you could be sure no more zombies would wander in unannounced. Day of the Triffids is probably a good reference here...
