LJ Idol Presents:

3. If the contestants from Exhibit B were trapped in a room with no way out, and people were getting hungry, who would turn to cannibalism first? Who would be eaten first?
I'm not sure who would turn to cannibalism first, but as I have lots of meat (aka fat), chances are pretty good I'd be on the Top 10 to be eaten first, unless I could charm my way out of the fire. I think odds are good that porn_this_way would be one of the last to be eaten, because I think we all know that with her oddball sense of humour she would taste funny!!

5. Are you watching the premiere episode of Survivor: Blood vs Water tonight? Are you watching the finale of Big Brother? YES, and YES. Very much looking forward to both!

1. My first time riding Steel Force at Dorney Park. It was my first real roller coaster experience and now I am addicted. ;)

2. My friend Tai. I want her in on this so, so bad. She is amazing and I love her stuff and I think Idol would love it, too. I may beg and grovel and ask n3m3sis43 to help me beg and grovel.

3. Are we talking contestants that are left? Because PTW would be the first to turn to cannibalism, definitely. I don't know who'd get EATEN first, though. xD

4. My ex. She did shape a lot of who I am, some of it good, some of it bad.

5. Nope to both. :)

1. Hunting for fossilized shark's teeth with my dad in the river after a flood.
2. I have two folks in mind that I plan to ask and see if they're interested. I think pointing to my own volume of output during my Idoling should be convincing enough. ;)
3. Well, JUST judging by this week's entries, I'd say that agirlnamedluna and the_lettersea are going to be leading the charge to chomp. And porn_this_way has got such a reputation that everyone will want to take a pre-emptive bite out of her. *nods* Seems about right.
4. This is a tricky question. Though it sounds like kind of a cop-out, I'm going to say "me!". It wasn't always that way, but I've been trying harder to be less of a supporting character in my own story.
5. Nope. I'm going out to dinner tonight and then watching a movie with a friend.

1) Probably signing into AOL for the first time. I was 13, I think, and at my neighbor's house. This was the early 90's, so all this intarwebz stuff was pretty new, and AOL hadn't yet devolved into the absolute joke it later became. (Alas, I'd never had access to BBS services and whatnot, despite the first love of my life being a Commodore 64 during my formative years.) I remember just how amazed I was, and *relieved* OMG, seeing this other world in front of me that was populated by actual people with brains and stuff as opposed to the intellectual amoebas and sentient cans of spiritual Raid that filled and festered in the Texas suburb where I was currently existing. (I don't want to say "living", because "living" does not happen in Texas suburbs - merely existing.) Having discovered an escape hatch into a world that I actually found not only tolerable but *enjoyable*,  I relentlessly pestered my parents after that, and we ended up getting an AOL account at home several months later.

2) I'm definitely gonna pester a few peeps from the Potter fandom, I think. I may also try for a few current\former coworkers who I know love to write and would get a huge kick out of this place, but I have to be EXTREMELY careful on that front, because if the wrong people at work caught wind of my shenanigans here and started following my posts, it would...not end well.

3) Given how many times I've been in one of my moods and told someone to bite me, I should probably start to worry!  However, I've also informed lrig_rorrim several times that I intend to one day consume her brain in order to gain her powers, so this might be a prime opportunity for that to happen.

4) Me. If anyone has more influence over my own life than I do, then it's a serious sign I need to get my shit together, stat.

5) LOL no! These are blasphemous words to speak around here, but…*glances around nervously* *carefully whispers* reality TV shows aren't really my thing.

Wait, what the fuck?! Why is everybody putting me in their answers to the cannibal question??

1. I'd say waking up for school one morning, coming out of the house, and seeing the black bear sitting on top of the dumpster next to the restaurant. Bear was all like, "Hai guyz!" Calmly went inside and informed my father, who called local wildlife peeps.

2. I honestly don't think I know anyone who hasn't played before in some context.

3. I could see acalculatedname being the first to strike. (But I only say that because everyone else picked PTW.) As for the first to fall ... lottery, really. I don't think anyone's going to volunteer, so the meat eaters will select whoever isn't apt to taste like boiled baby octopi.

5. Negative. I'm on a business call most of the evening, and I'm hoping to be done in time for The Soup.

1. First trip to Disneyland. So awesome, it outweighed the whopping case of mumps I had from the second day onward!

2. There is at least one person on my f-list who has the energy, time and talent to do Idol, but the whole "Hai! Your partner is your only opponent" twist probably scared her off for good.

3. ALLL the contestants from Exhibit B? (Like that changes anything...) Um... My combination of muscle and chub would make me look tastier, but I'd be spending all my time throwing up in the corner at the idea of eating anyone else, so that might be a sufficient deterrant to my being eaten. I think turned_in2_moon might be the first cannibal. First, he's a character and not an actual person. And second, he hates virtually everyone, so why let your piddly feelings and humanity get in the way of his own survival? ;)

4. Probably my Dad, for better or worse.

5. What, another Survivor Season is starting? But I'm sure I'll miss it. I haven't seen the show since our local affiliate went to the hour-earlier prime-time (over 13-14 years ago). I'm just getting home (or almost home) at 7pm, and the only thing on my mind then in dinner. No to Big Brother as well. Really, other than Survivor and some early Beauty and the Geek episodes, I don't really like reality TV much.

1. See http://ashgaelsonaria.livejournal.com/271480.html

2. The people I know who write on lj are ravenclaw_eric who has been a freelance writer sense before I met him - mostly game supplaments like G.U.R.P.S. China and Nomads for Cyberpunk. And Canray who I really think could use a lot more love an support right now. As in tons. He is having much trouble with health, massive depression and anxsiety. But I do not know how to aproch him as he can be touchy.

3. Hmm, that is a difficult question. I like to think that everyone else would gang up and plot to take out those with the more sinister natures and/or writings likely starting with Gary.

4. I don't think anyone is all that influential. That said from the idol crowd the first person who ever really told me I can write was hightekvagabond over 20 years ago but I am fairly certain he was just trying to get layed at the time.

5.

:D Gary.
