So... I went to
The Grace Pages and played the Interview Game. It's where the guy asks me 5 questions and I answer them. Yay! Sooo..... without further ado, here they are.
1. You have only twenty-four hours to give a visiting friend the Vancouver experience. How do you spend the day?
I'd take them out to coffee first thing in the morning. Nothing like a good coffee to start the day, in a more public place. Most independent stores have decent coffee. Then I'd take them to Gastown, Hastings, Chinatown, the various university campuses, and the 'burbs. This would all be on bicycles and public transit, since I don't drive and I assume the other party cannot do so either. Unfortunately, Vancouver does not have many real tourist attractions (non-touristy places). I say Hastings becxuse that's where many druggies, prostitutes, and "seedy" people are. The government can easily give you the bright side. I'll provide the dark. The 'burbs emphasize how much cities all look alike, in the end. I'd also probably take them to Richmond-Beta (the Asian one) to show how people are able to grow their own culture within another predominant one. This shows the good and bad of multiculturalism (which I'm hesitant to gush all over). I'm not a good official tour guide, I guess.
2. I believe God meets people in all kinds of ways. How does God communicate with you?
Insights. Thoughts. I get these sometimes, and I don't feel that the thoughts come from me. So.. I guess they're from God (or someone else, depending on the thought). A hard thing to prove, of course, since I don't know how (sub)consciousness works. God can also use people to show me the way. People are important. People have opinions. God can use scriptures and my own interpretation of them to speak to me. I may read something and interpret it in a way that may not be interpreted the same way by others. Finally, God sometimes uses that small voice to speak to me, so it seems that I can audibly hear Him. This is rare, but it happens.
3. Which Star Wars character are you, and why?
I’d be Chewie. He’s big, he’s hairy, he’s naked, and he sounds like he’s constantly moaning. Just like me. Minus the hairy, naked and big part. And nobody gives a crap about the guy. Seriously. Chewie, fix the discombobulator. Chewie, get out of the way. Poor guy. All he did was try to help Han. I’ll bet you Chewie’s the smartest of them all! That arrogant broad Leia, that prick Han, that whiny nancy-boy Luke, and those two sexually-indeterminate droids don’t stand a chance. Just like Chewie, I’ll dole out the comeuppance someday!
As an addendum:
This comic will give the ultimate power.
Greatest SW comic with wookies ever.4. Describe the last time you cried.
Last time I cried was when I left summer camp for the very last time 3 years ago. Yes. Amazing. I seriously get really emotional when I leave summer camp, and that year was the last time I could do that. I bawled at that time. I sobbed. I must say, when I cry, it’s pretty spectacular in a quiet way. Looking back on it, I guess I was saddened that I had to leave a place where I was away from family and friends and school and pretty much all the cares of life.. No one really knew me at camp, and I could do pretty much that wasn’t against the scant rules they set up, or against the law. I guess it’s the feeling/illusion of freedom that I didn’t want to leave. It’s also the feeling of being a kid again, just fooling around, that I loved. Embarrassing yourself was the name of the game. The people at camp were pretty unspectacular, but the experience was awesome.
5. If you could relive one day from your life so far, which would it be, and why?
I don’t know. I don’t want to relive any day of my life. I’d be horrified with the possibility of re-experiencing my stress about the future (OMG I HAVE EXAMS IN 2 DAYS/3 MONTHS/5 YEARS!!). I guess I’d have to pick … August 3rd, 1985, since that’s a random date and one that I cannot remember. If that is too far back or if it is considered cheating, too bad. Each day has its defeats and victories. I guess I’d rather not re-experience any of them.
You can play too. I'm not good at asking questions, so I'll link you to
The Grace Pages and you can figure it out on your own.
