*rips things off*
And they aren't my clothes, unfortunately. Sorry to all my fan-girls (and boys) ^_~

Well, this is something I've been interested in doing for some while, but it was only after seeing Japan doing it that I thought I might as well steal this idea too, heh. So, in true Mimmi/James/Japan/anyone else style, it's Question Time!

Whoo! And then some o_o;

Any questions at all are good. But if they get too personal I reserve the right to be evasive about them, heh.

So, hit me with whatever you got ^_^ I'll edit as I get new responses.

Mimmi's Questions!
1) If you were a knight in medieval times, what would your knightly name be?

Assuming I could make up both my names, Sir Austin Gray. Or something like that.

2)If you had a farm, what would it be called, where would it be and what would you produce?

Whoo, this is tough... 'Tremaine' can actually mean farm anyway, so it'd probably end up being Solo's Tremaine ^_~ It'd be in the hot regions of America and I'd produce anteaters and pangolins. I'm sure there's a market niche for them somewhere.

3) As an actor, would you go for a job you knew you could perform well in and be paid accordingly; or would you go for a challenging, yet low paid role (to broaden your acting horizon)?

Well, it's probably best to do both- as an actor you really can't be fussy about which jobs you take unless you're in incredibly high demand. I don't know exactly how many are actually in that much demand, but a lot of the A-List stars are bound by contract agreements anyway, so they're usually only doing one thing at any given time.

A high-paid job of a role you can do well is practically a given- if you can succeed then you can really make a name for yourself and take even more money in the process if the film's popular. But, if you take on a more challenging role it can still be a huge benefit to you if you can pull it off well, getting you better jobs in the future and increasing the number of jobs you'll be offered. But if I had a choice... probably the high-paid one, unless the low-paid one was something that really interested me.

4) Can I come play at your house?

Anytime ^_~

5) If you were a painter, what would be your favourite object/landscape to draw ? With what would you create your drawings (ie charcoal, crayons, water color, etc)?

I'd love to draw a valley, mountains or a lake, somewhere during sunset. They're beautiful places. I guess I'd probably use acrylics; but I've little artistic knowledge, so I'm not entirely sure what the different effects would be. I'm not very good with watercolours, though ^_^;

6) What are you most intersted in knowing about other people ? For instance, when these 'ask me and I'll provide answers' posts occurs, is there anything specific you want to 'inquire' about?

Well... one that usually pops up in my mind is "Who else would you choose to live/be with out of blah blah blah". It's one I almost always ask, but I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe I'm just nosy, heh. But I also like company; I have an idea of who I'd like to live with if I could and I'm interested to see what everyone else thinks.

Ashlee's Questions!
I'm glad you're still about, heh. I was beginning to wonder whare you'd gotten to.

1) Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it?

If Jesus could produce microwaves then I'm sure he could. I'm assuming he'd microwave it for someone to eat, though. But if he did make it so hot that even he wouldn't be able to eat it, I doubt anyone else would be able to eat it either, and hence he'd have a wasted burrito. It'd probably be burnt to cinders before too long, anyway. So what he'd be left with might not even be considered a burrito *nods sagely*

Shinmaru's Questions!
1)Were you ripping off anything besides the question session, you tease?

*blushes* Shin, you are a flirt ^_~

I did take off this silly woggle I was wearing, though. I found it in my drawer and was using it as a bandanna, but when I looked in the mirror I saw how odd I looked. Not to mention it was getting rather tight.

A woggle is the scarf that Scouts used to war, by the way. It had a little plastic slip that you'd slide up the gathered ends to tighten it, but I lost mine. I was never in the Cub Scouts, but I was in the *coughs* Beavers. Stop snickering.

2) What inspired you to go into acting, Mr. Solo?

Well, I joined Drama Club during primary school briefly, but they all loved this boy who was already in the Chichester Festival Youth Theatre so I got pissed off and left. Besides, the stuff they were doing wasn't very good.

I didn't think about it for years after that until I saw one of my friends disappearing down the corridor after our German lesson. I was rather impressionable at the time, and really just wanted to hang around with this guy because I thought he was incredibly cool, so I followed him. Turned out he was going to the High School Drama Club. That's pretty much it- I was given a role as the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella and it went form there. I had always liked play-acting with my toys, though. That was probably the precursor to everything. I still do that every now and again, although in a more mature way than I used to ^_~

3) Am I going to be killed in Enter the Net? Then, I'd be killed in two major OB properties!

I haven't any plans to yet, sorry. But if I did I'd lose a large amounts of story potentials, you know. There's yaoi pairings to be had!*

4) Can you really think of some creative way to incorporate myOtaku into Enter the Net? Because I sure as hell can't.

I was thinking about that earlier, actually. It'd probably be the part of OB Island where everybody actually lived, as opposed to the rest of the Boards. The actual sites would be personalised lounges and all that, and the Backrooms would be where they sleep.

5) Wasn't Myotismon a kickass villain?

Yeah ^_^ I liked him. I think I preferred the Dark Masters, but they weren't nearly as persistant as old Myo.

*Not really. Well, maybe...

Lady Katana's Questions!
You're not too late, Kei ^_~ I edit as I get new responses, hehe.

1) Do you ever plan on coming stateside?

If I ever have the opportunity and the money, you can bet on it. There's a lot over there I want to see, and a lot of people I want to meet ^_^

2) What's your most favorite play you've acted in?

So far, um... Haroun's been really great; probably the best this year. The director's been amazing with us so far, and the script's really well-written. Plus, this acting group's always fun to work with when they concentrate. The Beano Show was very good fun, though, even though nobody else seemed to think so. but then, I didn't have to sing ^_^

3) What's the worst experience you've had while being a Mod?

There are always hairy moments. I'm glad to say I've only experienced one mass-spamming so far, that was when four or five people were posting threads with endless pictures of this really ugly person. There was one pornographic thread I've seen too (thankfully that didn't last long). The most personally ugly one was dealing with a certain member who took offence to me and started trying to insult my stories after a while. He went very quickly, hehe.

4) (And this is the most important)...Tony the Tiger, or Trix the Rabbit?

Unfortunately I don't actually know who Trix the Rabbit is, but he sounds more interesting than Tony the Tiger, who I find rather annoying.

Dagger IX1's Questions!
It's different enough, lol. Don't worry about it ^_~

1. Yaoi pairings? What yaoi pairings? *grins suggestively* Hey, I'll volunteer for a yuri pairing if you need any of that to balance things out... ^_~

*coughs* Well, there aren't any canon yaoi pairings in Enter the Net yet; they're really for fans to decide if they wanted to. Although I'm partial to Solomaru myself, hah... I'm sure there could be a yuri pairing or two too ^_~

2. Who's your favorite character in RahXephon?

Only one?! Heh, I'd probably have to go with Yagumo. He's a character I can most identify with myself- reliable and friendly, generally optimistic but forceful when necessarry. Although, I really like Ayato, Megu and Haruka too.

3. What do you like most and least about being a mod?

What I like most about moderating is being able to work with such a great team of people, heh. You can't really ask for more when you've people like the OB Staff to have chats and laughs with and work alongside. Plus there's the buzz you get from knowing you're helping someone to improve, or are just helping everyone else's posting pleasure. After all, I know I wouldn't want to have to sift through pages and pages of spam. Recently I've been getting lots of thanks for moderating from members, which I really really appreciate. It just makes it that much more worthwhile ^_^

In terms of what I like worst; it's probably the nitty-gritty. Sometimes it can be a fag trying to close threads in the right way and not sound too confrontational about doing so. But even then people can take offence. I'm not often insulted, but every now and then someone really objects to having their thread closed and can try laying into you. It's water off a duck's back really, but you still have to deal with getting rid of it.

DDG's Questions!
1.) If OB: Enter the Net really could happen, would you gladly be part of the AIM chat that started it?

Yeah, definately. Even if I was the only one, I'd still do it. Well... I'd rather not be the only one, but you know what I mean.

2.) I asked James this, so I'm asking you too, can you read my mind?

Not really. I can make an educated guess as to what you might say or do in a certain situation or given a certain prompt, but it would only be a guess. A mind's a very complicated thing to try and read at any one time with so many different thought processes going on at once. But I'm getting technical ^_~ So probably not, but I could give it a try. And if I guessed right I could lie and say I really could...

3.) I also asked James this, are there monsters under my bed? 0.0

If there are, I'll sort them out for you with my trusty sword! *swings sword dramatically*

4.) Innie or outie?

Innie, and bloody annoying it can get, too >.>

5.) Yes or No?

That would depend entirely on the context, heh. But generally, yes. Probably more often than I really should, too.

6.) Do you feel guilty about stealing this idea from Japan, who stole it from James who stole it from Mimmi?

Not really. I mean, if it was something they had to work really hard on creating then I would probably think twice or at least ask. But you're pretty much doing the structural work for me ^_~ And with each quiz comes a different set of answers, so it's not as if I'm directly copying anything.

7.) What's your side? Good or evil?

Most definately good. But sometimes you need a little evil to help things along. Not everything in life is black and white, after all.

8.) Who would win in a fight? Great White shark or Saltwater Crocodile? Elephant or Rhino? Bull Shark or Hippo? Cougar or Wolf? Polar Bear or Walrus? Tiger or Lion?

Hmm...

1: I'd probably say Great White Shark- even though the crocodile has a much tougher hide, the shark still has the mobility and bigger offensive to strike with.
2: Rhino would be my best guess. It's smaller, but has that horn which in the right place can do a lot of damage. As huge as elephants are, the damage they do is often harder on things much smaller than them. A rhino'd be relatively safe, I'd bet.
3: Bull Shark. Hippoes are ferocious, but the shark has the speed advantage. And the sharp, flesh-ripping teeth.
4: Mmm... Probably the Cougar. Wolves aren't as muscular, even though they might be able to match the big cat for speed and agility.
5: Polar Bear. Walruses are nasty when provoked, but bears just rock that much more.
6: Ooh, I wouldn't be able to say. Either of the two. Tigers look better though, so I'll go with that.

I'm interested to know what the answers are now ^_^

Dan L's Question!
Is a bird in the hand really worth two in the bush?

It would depend on the size of the bird.

To be honest I've never really fully understood this statement. If you actually have one bird, I suppose it must be better than not having two who are sitting in that there bush, because you don't actually have them. Or something. I don't know. I guess it's better to have something rather than just looking and wishing you did, even though what you're looking at wanting might be more than what you already have.
