Have you ever had an obsession with speedometers? Not that I'm aware but, never less a most interesting inquiry though as, I say this in a wholehearted and sincere manner..

Do you see things in your life that might have at times mirrored something in books or films perhaps?

At times, I apply events in novels or histories to real life (quod dicet: frequently fails), but now, I am becoming increasingly obsessed with trying to quantify everything.

Do you think of people in archetypes, stereotypes, or other classifications?

No. I just think of people as people.

Do you identify more with a gender or a time?

Good question. Hmm...

I believe that adolescents should not acquire preferences of the mating kind because there is no reason to engage in mating. I seem to identify with the virtues I uphold almost purely by example (id est, will not correct but will encourage similar behaviors despite necessity for correction), so time seems more likely. Of course, this could change as my mind gets increasingly occupied with numbers.

Do you like mathematics?

I do like mathematics, but I'm not too good with them.

It is inevitable and something to anticipate and consider (which explains why I continue with the memento mori).

What is your strongest skill?

To analise and detect problems.

Lately, people assuming I can calculate the day of the week in under ten seconds consistently or making remarks about my unconscious tendency to, "sneak," continually.

What has made you glad lately?

Reading one of Dostoievsky's novels I hadn't read before; Notes from Underground. Somehow, it really does make me feel relieved.
Same question.

Feeling less severe than usual. (Although that does often precede reading a few anecdotes and going back to feeling severe.)

What do you think of SOPA/PIPA/ACTA?

I cannot help but sense it as an attempt/project for censoring freedom of speech on the Internet, which is currently themost effective media for said freedom. And since it's, in my opinion, one or the other, I doubt it will take into consideration what the population has to say about it. Apparently they have been put down, but I doubt that precisely our votes have been the reason, if they have actually been put down.
If you could lead a country, what would be your take on its religion?

It would depend on the belief system, because certain features of certain belief systems (human sacrifice, non-punitive violence, et cetera) do need eradication, but neither belief nor unbelief should be forced on anyone.

If you could have a house of any design, how would it be described?

I like the art deco style of architecture so probably something like that.
Same question.

I really don't know I could live in a tent, and not really care how it looked.

Same question?

It would be mostly function over form with subtle allusions to Roman architecture (and I do mean Roman, not Greek).

You have three wishes! What do you wish (excluding more wishes)?

1. A month with Mick Avory of The Kinks.

2. Mick Avory's Ludwig drum set with that famous logo.

3. To be a man.

Same question
