Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

This one has been floating around lately… Thought I'd give it a go:

1. If you died tomorrow who would you leave everything you own to?
Rachel of course if it had to be one person. But my assuming broader distribution it would also include my brother and sister and a number of friends.

2. Who is the one person that you could stand spending a straight 24 hours with and not get the slightest bit annoyed with?
Well duh, see above.

3. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would you change (personality and looks)?
I'd be more physically fit and less of a softie. But I am working on that.

4. What is the one thing you just have to do before you die?
Relax and enjoy the moment. That's what I hope to do right before I die anyway.

5. If you won the lottery what would you do with your, let's say, 18 million dollars?
I think I'd probably give away a quarter of it to friends (including myself; that is, treat a quarter as disposible), invest a quarter of it in communal land and housing, invest a quarter of it into making BME a free non-profit, and save a quarter for the future.

6. What do you want people to say about you when you die?
“He helped me.”

7. How long does it take you to get ready to go out?
Not too long usually, a minute or two I guess.

8. What would you like to be reincarnated as?
Maybe some sort of deep sea creature with no predators. I'm sure it's serene life.

9. Do you make fun of your friends?
Not in any negative way, no.

10. Do you enjoy talking to your self?
Yeah, I think I do. Internal dialogue is important.

11. What's your biggest fear?
Government persecution.

12. What would you have liked to be named?
I'm perfectly happy with my name.

13. What's your most prized (material) possession?
I don't think I really have prized possessions. I certainly have possessions, but I'm not obsessed or attached to them.

14. What songs bring back the most memories?
Slowdive – Losing Today. It was the first song I heard on LSD, about thirteen (?) years ago. I haven't touched LSD in I think seven or eight years, but wow… powerful experience.

15. What's the largest organ in the human body?
“The skin”, I'm told… Although to me that stresses the definition of the word organ.

16. Do you have a bar trick?
Yeah, I can move all my fingers independently under conscious control. Very few people can do it. Here's a diagram — doing it fluidly is tricky, I've only ever met one other person who could do it easily:

17. Could a pack of wolves done a better job raising you than your parents?
I doubt it!

18. What do you look for in the opposite sex?
Character, brains, looks, in that order. If the “stats” aren't exceptional on each one, I'm not interested.

19. If you were given one day to live what would you do?
Boring but true answer: I'd probably spend it teaching Rachel everything that would be needed to ensure BME's survival.

21. What's your best physical feature?
I don't know… I like being tall, other than that I'm pretty normal on the whole physically (except the changes I've made personally).

22. What's your summer job?
Filming.

23. What was the worst punishment your parents inflicted?
I think kicking me out of the house — first for a nostril piercing, and then for a mohawk — messed with me the most. Although the threats were worse than the punishments.

24. What have you learned about love?
Love isn't something one learns about. Love is. (If that makes sense).

25. How have you changed in the past year?
I think I've grown up a lot, I've gotten a better focus on where I want to go in life, and I think I'm finally starting to gain a little wisdom and vision. Of course, those are the sorts of things that generally if you think you have, you don't. So who knows.

26. What's your way of escaping reality?
Creating a new one.

27. What hair problems have you had?
Ha, you tell me.

28. Can you do anything related to gymnastics or whatever?
Yeah, and I do enjoy it, but it tends to result in injury to either me or the ATV.

29. What's the most annoying thing people tell you about you?
Deification.

30. Have you met any celebrities?
Yeah, but to be honest, the vast majority are totally normal people.
