This is a game that used to be on WWAC back in the good old days when I first joined. I miss it; so I'm reinstating it.

Basically, you answer the question the person before you posted. It's best if you answer it with rambling.


How long have you been a writer?

The last book I read was I am the Messenger and it was a gorgeous, fantastic book. It wasn't as good as The Book Thief but I was expecting that so I didn't have ridiculously high expectations. I loved the characters and the plot. Markus Zusak has incredible imagery and I love his metaphors.

Where is your favorite place to go, and why?


message 3: by Colby (new)

Colby (colbz) | 3211 comments BOOKSTORES. But, as in an actual place, I love Coronado, California, because it's beautiful and just off of San Diego.

What's your favorite thing to do in your free time?


message 4: by Elliott (new)

Elliott | 22634 comments Mod
Hm. I don't know if I have a favorite thing, because I love doing so many things, but I do tend to read books A LOT. Even when I don't have free time.

Is there anybody you hate?

OH MY SQUASH I LOVE CHEESECAKE. We went to Yougurtini (this self-serve frozen yogurt place) yesterday and they have cheesecake bites to put on the yogurt, and I think I had more cheesecake bites than actual yogurt. Our lunch lady makes THE BEST homemade cheesecake. I also like the Cheesecake Factory's cheesecake. Aaah, so good. And I like the kind you get from the grocery store in a box. xD

How many times do you generally eat a day?


message 6: by Elliott (new)

Elliott | 22634 comments Mod
As of right now, The Fault in Our Stars.
But I'm kind of falling in love with Anna and the French kiss. THERE ARE TOO MANY GOOD BOOKS IN THE WORLD.

How clean is your room?


message 7: by Elliott (new)

Elliott | 22634 comments Mod
1,100ish. Because it got too full. And that's all it holds. GRRR.

What's your least favorite number?


message 8: by Colby (new)

Colby (colbz) | 3211 comments Um, I've written an unfinishe novel that was over 100 pages, but it was in verse, so my NaNo from last year was probably longer, honestly. But I don't have it anymore.

What's your favorite TV Show?


message 9: by Krys (new)

Krys (krisslee) | 5015 comments Mod
Weeds or White Collar. Hard to decide. Because I love both of them. And they're both so different and crazy. But White Collar has a really sexy guy with blue eyes and black hair. But Weeds has a sexy blond one.

If you could do anything or be anything, what would you do or be?


message 10: by Elliott (new)

Elliott | 22634 comments Mod
I have two favorite words. Dissonance and wanderlust. They're both so attractive and I love the definitions. WORDS ARE SO FUN.

What's the stupidest thing you've ever done?


message 11: by Colby (last edited Apr 06, 2012 05:12PM) (new)

Colby (colbz) | 3211 comments I literally JUST told Yue about this earlier.
Okay. So last year I was in this crazy tough history class, and the teacher had this slide picture of Hitler giving a speech, and there were two guys in the bg who were about to pelt him with snowballs. So the teacher points with his laser at the snowballs in their hands and says, "What do you guys think this is? I'll give you a hint: It's either snow or cocaine." And so then I raise my hand and go, "Cocaine?" Because I was thinking, hmm, Hitler. Bad guy. Perhaps he was involved in drugs? And the teacher goes, "That is either the biggest drug operation I've ever heard of, or that's just a street full of snow." I'll give you a hint. It was snow.

How many books have you FINISHED writing?

Elliott | 22634 comments Mod
*laughs out loud* Oh, Colby. xD

I don't like to talk about that. LEAVE ME ALONE.

What do you want to be when you "grow up"?


message 13: by Colby (new)

Colby (colbz) | 3211 comments John Green.
No, but a writer. NYT Bestsellers and all that jazz.
And I want my stories to be beautiful, not just sell well. Although I do want them to sell, because I need money to, like, eat and stuff.

Do you currently have a job?


message 14: by Mitch (new)

Mitch (i-am-not-real) | 1495 comments Nope.

If you could have any pet in the world (dinosaurs, bacteria, "normal" animals, mythical creatures, whatever), what would it be?


message 15: by Elliott (last edited Apr 06, 2012 05:21PM) (new)

Elliott | 22634 comments Mod
A UNICORN. MOST DEFINITELY A UNICORN.

What is your favorite seasoning?


message 16: by Mitch (new)

Mitch (i-am-not-real) | 1495 comments Ummm...?


How did I know you were going to say 'unicorn'?


message 17: by Colby (new)

Colby (colbz) | 3211 comments Lowry's seasoning salt. Does that count?
(And I would want a zebracorn, Lav.)

What's the worst book you've ever read?


message 18: by Elliott (new)

Elliott | 22634 comments Mod
(Um, because unicorns are awesome?)
(I LOVE LOWRY'S. XD)

Bullyville by Francine Prose. Ew, ew, ew.

Would you eat a sheet of paper for twenty dollars?


message 19: by Mirvan. (new)

Mirvan. Ereon (mirvanereon) | 51 comments Of course. that is twenty dollars and I ma so damn poor.

Would you rather eat human flesh or rotting animal flesh?


message 20: by Colby (new)

Colby (colbz) | 3211 comments YES. I used to concern my grade school teachers by eating paper. But I just had a really freaking weird sense of humor and I thought I was being hilarious.

Do you save your change or just let it disappear?


message 21: by Elliott (new)

Elliott | 22634 comments Mod
John: NEITHER. I AM A VEGETARIAN AND I REFUSE.
Colby: Eh, it depends. I usually keep it in a little pocket thing in my wallet, but I have a lot of random change laying around my room too.

Do you use a credit/debit card or cash?


message 22: by Colby (new)

Colby (colbz) | 3211 comments Cash.

Do you text often?


message 23: by Elliott (new)

Elliott | 22634 comments Mod
All the time. Only internet friends, for the most part. I don't really like texting my "here" friends.

How big is your house?


message 24: by Colby (new)

Colby (colbz) | 3211 comments Medium size. Three bedrooms, 1.75 baths, a kitchen and two living areas. Plus a basement.

Do you like reading erotic gay books?


message 27: by Jo (last edited Apr 06, 2012 05:43PM) (new)

Jo (Penname8) | 1574 comments Ew. No. I'm not one to read book porn.

What would your blood look on your bedsheets? (Smosh quote.)


message 28: by Elliott (new)

Elliott | 22634 comments Mod
AAH. That's such a hard question. I don't even know. As of right now, probably to the Great Depression era. Or the Revolutionary War. Or the 50s. Or the 70s. OR ALL OF THE TIMES EVER.

How do you feel about the Oxford English Dictionary?


message 29: by Jo (new)

Jo (Penname8) | 1574 comments I haven't read it. I only have Webster's (but not the one you think.)

Which car should represent England?

message 33: by Colby (last edited Apr 07, 2012 10:58AM) (new)

Colby (colbz) | 3211 comments A compilation of every novel ever written.
Honestly, though...I could read The Fault in Our Stars about sixty billion times before getting tired.

Would you marry someone who wasn't as smart as you (in theory)?


message 42: by Colby (new)

Colby (colbz) | 3211 comments It depends. I mean, I don't want a girl who just completely can't understand what you're saying. That's annoying. But it's not like if a girl is a little less smart than me, I'd be like YOU HAVE NO CHANCE WITH ME.

Would you?


message 43: by Jo (new)

Jo (Penname8) | 1574 comments Depends on what kind of stupid we're talking about.

Approve of Asa Butterfield as Ender in Ender's Game?


message 44: by Elliott (new)

Elliott | 22634 comments Mod
OH MY SQUASH, IS HE REALLY GOING TO PLAY ENDER?
YES. YES. YES. I haven't seen him act, but his looks fit the part in my mind.

Have you ever thrown something at the wall in anger?

How many neccesary Ender's books are there? Just so I can regroup my budget.


message 46: by Elliott (new)

Elliott | 22634 comments Mod
I've only read the first book. I've heard that the others aren't as awesome.

What do think your life will be like in 15 years?

Mirvan. Ereon (mirvanereon) | 51 comments i am already every famous and rich author.

What do you see yourself doing in fifteen years?


message 48: by Elliott (new)

Elliott | 22634 comments Mod
I hope that in 15 years I'll have my Master's or PhD in psychology and I'll be working as an adolescent psychologist or psychiatrist. But I'll probably end up getting my Bachelor's and then working as a school counselor or something for a while and working on my PhD while I have a job, so it could take longer. I also want to be a published writer in 15 years.
