I asked Sam to complete the “About Me” profile I stole from American Express. Here’s his answers:
|
|
|
| Childhood ambition | I want to be a novelist… |
|
|
|
| Fondest Memory | Lagoon, D&D (like, one of the first games we ever played), and Hawaii… |
|
|
|
| Soundtrack | Favorite? You mean my favorite? Um… define “soundtrack”… If I could build my own, right now it’d look something like… Hocus Pocus, Test for Echo, Jacob’s Ladder, 2112, Red Tide, Cygnus (both), and… um… Spindrift? |
|
|
|
| Retreat | My room. Unless I’m allowed extravagance. In which case, Hanalei Bay. |
|
|
|
| Wildest dream | Um… this one’s a little bit private… I don’t know why, there’s nothing too wrong with it, but I feel like you people’ll think I’m insane… |
|
|
|
| Proudest moment | The times I’m proudest of myself are usually over trivial things anyway, beating a certain part of a video game or something like that… Although I was pretty proud of my English Midterm grade… |
|
|
|
| Biggest challenge | The juggling trick that is life |
|
|
|
| Alarm clock | It is set for… uh… *checks* 7:55, which is really 7:35 ’cause I’m too lazy to fix it. |
|
|
|
| Perfect day | One without chores or people to bug me about spending too much time doing any one thing. Doesn’t matter what, gameboy, computer, internet, TV, cooking, anything. Unplanned and fully open time to myself where I can do whatever I want without fear of retribution or rebuke. Perfect day, right there. |
|
|
|
| First job | Newspaper carrier~! |
|
|
|
| Indulgence | What? What kind of indulgence? What do you mean? |
|
|
|
| Last purchase | Food. At Wendy’s. I think. |
|
|
|
| Favorite movie | No idea… Return of the King is awesome, but I’m so uneducated… |
|
|
|
| Inspiration | Rush. Neil’s an awesome writer. Alex is an awesome guitarist. Two major inspirations right there. (You parental beings are also inspiration major.) |
|
|
|
| My Life | Is cool. |
So that’s why you wanted it…
Clarify that “indulgence” question a bit and I might answer you…
Sam,
I’m always blown away with your “grown up” answers. What a brain you have, anyway, I enjoyed your comments.
Thank you…
Also, since that question has been clarified for me… my favorite indulgence, I don’t know. I do enjoy indulging in computer time.
You continue to amaze and thrill me Sam with your intelict, deep thinking and ease of expressing your self. I so admire and love you.
You want to be a novelist! I can see you being a very great one :o)
I’m looking forward to reading “Jacob’s Escalator”
