The Third Degree - Arjahn

[SERIOUSLY THOUGH*]

Sorry for not really updating this often. Kind of trying to space it out.

Up next, SERIOUSLY THOUGH!


Why?

I'll tell you why ! It's all the bloody noobfaggytz on MW3 thinking they can keep up with my level 1 prestige, 2 kill-streak, 140 deaths:4 kills ratio. They just don't KNOW.

Are you always serious or is it just your alter ego by night?

I'm always serious during the day. At night, I take on my cunningly disguised superhero alter ego's identity - TERIOUSLY SHOUGH. Criminals be quakin' when they see me swoop from up above.

Can you explain why but oh why, oh why, did I decided to watch Here Comes Honey Boo Boo?

There is absolutely no valid reason for you to watch that smut. What you now have to do is sing the Digimen theme tune with all the bells and whistles.
I just wanted an excuse to sing the Gidimoan theme tune...

-What inspires you to write your music/what are your musical influences?

I don't think that there's a single source of inspiration for the music I make. I've always loved music, and love most of the music I hear, which then reflects in how different most of my pieces are from one another. I spent many years in an orchestra (and would still like to be in one but I had to leave my violin in Europe) and studied music theory as part of my instrumental learning, so I often draw on classical music to make some of my more relaxed pieces.

When I started making music, I tried copying existing pieces to see what I was capable of. Then, as my attempts became more and more similar to the original, I used the building blocks to create my own pieces. That was about 8-10 years ago, when I started using a computer for music (before that I composed on scores).
As time went on, I strayed further and further away from the beaten path to make my own things. I'm glad I started by emulating existing pieces because it allowed me to get the feel of the theory behind a good song.

-If you could live in any time period other than current day, what would it be and why?

I would like to live in my home area in the Prealps in the 11th century. That's when the first permanent settlers of my valley moved in. It would be cool to be part of that.

-A penguin walks through your bedroom door right now wearing a sombrero. What does he say and why is he there?

It wouldn't bloody be able to say anything before explaining how it went through my door ! After that, and letting me know that it had got lost and ended up in Mexico on the way up here, it would explain to me that I have been chosen to teach the penguins how to fly. Then we would soar out of the window for adventures aplenty.

-If you could pick two celebrities to be your parents, who would you pick?

Well, in my eyes, my parents are already celebrities. But if I had to chose more conventional celebrities, it would have to be Liam Neesons and Bruce Willy. Imagine the household shenanigans that would ensue :D

In the event of a zombie apocalypse, how will you and the kid from your avatar survive?

Well I, and little Avatar, would be totally fine - we're friends with A Zombie Riot who, as we all know, would control the horde.

Who took the cookie from the cookie jar?

You bloody took the cookie from the cookie jar. And now you're trying to say it was me. Traitor.

How's that computer repair going?

WELL - I got dem next-day technician comes to my house and fixes my laptop insurance. So he was supposed to be by yesterday. But I got no call, so I'm waiting for a call today otherwise I'll have to send a message to Dell saying "wtf".
Hopefully I'll be back on my laptop - it's only the graphics card that died so everything else is fine.
Until it's repaired, the lab has a few computers so I can browse here.

Have any shenanigans happened lately?

Well now that you mention it, there's a lot going down in the place in which I live. A roommate apparently hasn't paid a month's rent so the landlord was all like "gibe money plox" and she was all "I've already given it to you. br? br? br?". So he calls her parents, a shouting match ensues culminating in the roommate's father hanging up on the landlord. The landlord then proceeds to make many colourful threats. And I was just sitting in my room, reading my book.

Do you enjoy coffee, and if so what kind?

I love coffee, but I don't drink it regularly. Quite a few of my friends drink coffee every morning and can't function without it. I don't want to put myself in that situation - what if I were to have no coffee on the morning of a very important day ? I prefer to drink it when I feel like enjoying a cup, so that my body doesn't develop a dependence on caffeine.

I like most coffees, I'm not a coffee snob so I do enjoy just diluting some Nescafé in hot water. Though nothing beats my espresso machine that I had to leave behind in Europe. Damn that was some good coffee.

Actually, he was having comp. issues right? He might not be able to do this. If he can't I guess I could go.

Happily, I have access to other computers, so it's all good !

And SERIOUSLY THOUGH, who was the greatest villain of the Earthworm Jim games, based on design, boss battles, etc.

I've actually never played Earthworm Gymnastics so I'm going to go with either the bird that tries to peck you out of the ground, or the scientist who wants to capture you because a sentient earthworm is something to be studied !
