Hey, everyone else is doing it, right?

[Highland Watchman]

Alright, here is the watchman thread... Ask what you will, and I will see if I can answer.

 

[willcoach]

Are you a true Highlander?

 

[Highland Watchman]

As in, am I Scottish? Well, I am actually Canadian born and bred, though I do have some Scottish in my background. And I came from the mountains of British Columbia before moving out East to Ontario. So I guess, in a way yes, and in a way no.

Hi

Favorite subject in school?

Books: Fiction, I like fantasy. Nonfiction, I'd have to say Christian spirituality and some areas of theology.

TV Show: Well, I don't really watch TV, as I don't have one. Although, I have been known to enjoy Simpsons and Family Guy.

Favorite subject... well, highschool I can't remember much. College and seminary... I would have to say Biblical studies or Missiology.

1. Not really. I usually put what money I have into the bank.

2. Yes. I have Spanish, Hebrew and Mandarin dictionaries on my bookshelf. Admittedly, I don't use the Spanish or Mandarin much, but because I am learning Hebrew currently, I use it several times a week.

3. Depends on the mood.

4. Not too often, I will admit. And actually, the voicemail isn't updated to current either. The guys will have to update it when I am gone.

5. nope.

6. about 3:00 am EDT, same as usual.

7. No mousepad. I have a touch pad on my laptop, though.

8. Usually in my head. I do read out loud if I am reading to someone, though.

9. Once a day, sometimes once every few days.

10. Usually chicken.

11. Most likely.

12. That would be my roommate's mom, I would think.

1. I can be organized if I really wanted to be, but I'm not as organized as I know my mom is. What I have I learned from her.

2. 2. Visa and Amex.

3. I don't know. Probably live like I already do, but with less debts, and give the rest away to whoever needed it more. Maybe to another friend who has debts coming out of their wazoo.

4. I remember every day as I walked to jr high and highschool, scared out of my mind as to what the other kids were going to do to me that day. Between that and being filled with such pent up rage against a system that could do nothing to help me and towards my tormentors. Yeah. Not a pleasant experience.

5. Summer of 1997, I got to go to a summer acting camp in Montana. It literally changed my life and first introduced me to real Christians. I was shown love and acceptance there from my peers for the first time in my life.

6. I am not sure as to what you are talking about here. But if you are asking what I get like when I am angry, I would probably have to say "cold". If you're talking passionate personality vs. passive and uncaring, then I kind of fall somewhere in the middle.

7. Prized possession? A plush rabbit that I carry around with me when I go to new places and take pictures of.

8. Pet peeves... Well, I can't stand hypocrisy. If you are going to say you will do something, do it. If you claim to follow Christ, it means actually living a life following HIM. And do not present two faces, gossiping and slandering behind someone's back and then sickeningly sweet to their faces. Also, I dislike it when people order big meals, take one or two bites of it, and then throw the rest away. It is such a waste of food!!!!!!!!

Whats the scariest question God could ask you

Whats the best question a girl could ask you

If God offered you one thing, anything at all - your choice, what would it be

1. Why haven't you asked me out yet? (or varients on this one...)

2. Do I know you? (asked in the tone that implies the negative answer)

3. That's a good question. I don't know. I think it would depend on the girl who's asking, wouldn't it?

4. To know fully what his will is for my life. It would certainly clear up a lot of questions.

Nice I've read 3 of those. Did you hear Robert Jordan has a rare blood disease? Made me sad

Also, have you ever tried George RR Martin? His stuff's hard to read sometimes, but it's really good writing

No, I didn't hear that. It is unfortunate. Hopefully he'll be able to finish his series.

Yes! I read his first one in the Game of Thrones series, though the title is missing my thoughts at the moment.

 

[none the wiser]

Yeah, it was posted at the other site I frequent.

And hehe...the title is "A Game of Thrones" The series is called A Song of Ice and Fire...and it's almost humerous how ppl jump down your throat if you say A Song of Fire and Ice. lol


Do you play video games?

Favorite cartoon?

Have you ever moved to a different house in your lifetime?

Well, at least I got one of the titles... Actually, a buddy of mine has the series, and I haven't got around to borrowing them yet. But then, I can't really at this time because I will be leaving soon anyways.

But, on to the questions...

Yes, I do play some video games. I play Age of Empires 2 with some of the people on campus, I have been known to play the odd RPG here and there, and there were a few games that I used to play but can't anymore because I can't seem to find them. You remember the classic Sierra adventure games, like the Kings Quest series? Yeah. That was about when I started.

Favorite cartoon. I liked Pinky and the Brain when it was out. As for now, although I don't watch much TV, I have been known to sit in on the odd Family Guy or Simpsons episode.

Yes, I have moved around from house to house and town to town quite a bit, actually. So much so that I don't really have one town that I can say that I've grown up in or that would be a "home town".

Dude, Pinky and the Brain!


What's funny?

What's cool?

What scares you?

What's annoying?

What's annoying?

I tend to enjoy the ironic, the strange twists of circumstances that may normally appear frustrating to no end. But looking back on it, I laugh. I also find witty reparte and plays on words to be entertaining as well. If done right, it could be downright hilarious.

Mmm... icecream... snow... a rain shower after a hot couple of days, especially if there is thunder and lightning and the rain is coming down like bullets. I've heard dry ice is pretty cool too. So cool, in fact, that is makes quarters squeal when you put them on it, and it steams and vapours just sitting in a regular room. Uh... a refreshing swim, a glass of iced tea...

What scares me? I used to be scared of heights. I still am a bit, but not nearly as much as before. I'm also afraid of meeting new people sometimes, and I feel a bit uncomfortable in crowded places sometimes, especially if it's a party and I don't know anyone. At those times, I would rather just find a place in the corner and crowd watch, or talk to those who strike up conversation, and occasionally get into preaching mode, which I am much more comfortable in. I'm not the greatest fan of thrill rides, either.

Annoying... the times when you are engrossed in an important paper and people keep calling you, never leaving you alone... when you explicitly tell people you are going somewhere to be alone, and they follow you anyways... When people order big meals and only eat one or two bites, and then waste everything else... When my roomies refuse to clean up after themselves and we run out of dishes and our apartment suddenly becomes embarrassing to welcome guests...
