So.... here's a mess of stuff because guess what! I have to find a way to fill the time now that I'm not in school any more! ZOUNDS! What will I do with myself? Well, this will kill about 1/2 an hour or so.
Answers:Angelo queried: Which character have you enjoyed playing most of all? Without a doubt, Hamlet. It's a case of "you get out of a role what you put into it" and I put a lot of work into that role (so much so that almost every other aspect of my life suffered as a result). But it's the one character that I feel like you could ask me anything at all about and I would have an answer ready. In fact, that might be the subject of the next post: Questions about Hamlet!
Natty-Pants queried: What age would you like to live to and what age do you see yourself dying?I want to live until I'm at least 80, but 87 sounds like a good number to kick off on!
Does death frighten you?Sometimes. Violent death preceded by hours of terror definitely scares me, but as for old age? Not sure. It's more a feeling like "shit, I didn't change that lightbulb like I meant to." "Or, hell, I never randomly assaulted that politician like I meant to."
What's your dream destination?Ireland.
What would you do if you had a million dollars?I'd buy you a fur coat, but not a real fur coat, that's cruel. Actually, I'd free myself from all forms of debt, then go to Ireland for a while.
Any plans in the near future to get a tattoo?I'm thinking that this summer might be the summer it all comes together! Mainly because I don't have school to think about anymore. But I do need to find exactly the right thing, or it won't happen.
What's the most frightening situation you've ever been in?I once was visiting my grandparents and my grandfather had to go to the hospital. That was pretty awful. He's better now though.
Name the scariest movie you've ever seen:Movies don't actually scare me too much. I thought Scream was pretty frightening, mainly because of that stupid mask, but then I think about all the times that the guy gets a door slammed in his face. heh heh heh...
Ok, last one... are you planning on being an organ donor?I hadn't thought about it. I think when I get a little older I'll fill out one of those cards, just so long as John Cleese and Graham Chapman don't come knocking on my door. I plan on being cremated anyway, so it'll just make a shorter job for the furnace operator and they can nip out for a longer lunch, so yeah, I'll give up my organs. Who wants 'em?!?
Kayla queried: I have a suspicion that your middle name starts with J. What is your middle name anyways?An astute observation, Ms. K! My middle name is John, which is the nomencultural equivalant of "ho-hum."
Michael "The Metropolis Kid" queried: Joseph? Jacob? Jeremiah? Jehosephat? Jehoikim? Jim?Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, uh-uh.
Captain Jonas J. Lovejones, MD queried: If I come back, will you put my blog back into your links?Indeed I would, though the surprising lack of "YYAAAAARRRR"'s in this question leads me to believe that this was posed by a fraud, not the real captain.
Luke Norton queried: Will you make a short film with me this summer?You bet your balls I will.
Michael "The Metropolis Kid" came back and queried: If you were to play a role in life or stage, what would it be?There aren't really any roles I'm salivating over at the moment. I'd like to try my hand at something realistic. See if I could make that work. In a way Shakespeare's easy. You can hide behind the language if you don't know exactly what to do.
What are your plans now that you're officially not a student?I plan to figure that out so I'll have an answer for that question. I'm thinking about throwing an egg at the school. See below for details.
Actually I plan to work for a while so I can be prepared when OSAP comes knocking on my door, and so I can move away from Sudbury. Then we'll see. In the mean time I plan to do a shit load of reading too.
Erica queried: Can I have an extension on the question deadline?I'm tempted to say yes, but then I feel like you'd never ask me another question... so no. Unless you can convince me that you deserve it.
Liz queried: Do you remember the particular moment in your relationship with Jenny when you first realized you were in love? Or was it not a particular "moment"? Expand on yes or no. (10 marks)I don't think there was a relevatory moment where I was walking down the street and said "Holy shit! I love Jenny!" and then ran off to buy her flowers. There was just a general feeling of complete and utter well-being and comfort that I'd never felt on any level before.
Resta queried: Greatest regret?Regrets... I've had a few. But none of them stand out as being "The Biggest Regret Of My Life." There are a few things I wish I'd acted on, but didn't or vice versa. A few people I wish I'd made friends with sooner. More than a few people I wish I'd avoided, but then I wouldn't have learned to avoid people like them. Is that ok, or would you like a more general answer?
And that's it.

THE SADDEST STORY YOU'VE EVER HEARD
IN YOUR LIFE************************************************
I went to Petsmart the other day with Jenny and Jenny's friend Justin. My motivation was to look at the cute litle animals for adoption, as I think I want to adopt a cat this summer, ever since I found a frozen cat on the sidewalk. Poor, poor kitty. I don't want that to happen to anyone else. So we were looking at the cats, and Justin said "Oh my god" and pointed to one cat named "Little Bit." "That's my cat!" he further said. It came out that about a month earlier his mother had just out-of-the-blue given his cat away while he was out of town for the weekend. So we quickly formulated the plan that he would buy the cat back and keep it at our place until he moved out of his mom's house, which he was planning on doing anyways. So we grab a volunteer and ask to see one of the cats. We go back and there's another volunteer who says "Where are you going?" "We're just going to have a look at a cat," said the first volunteer. "Oh, well, Little Bit is just being adopted."
An old woman had picked out Little Bit not two minutes earlier.
The end.

Why I want to throw an egg at the school:
I went for my last exam last night to the gym, logically. But then it turned out that the exam was to be written in C-204, which is essentially the other side of the campus. An envigilator told me that I had been sent a letter about it. My response was that if they'd sent me a letter I would have gone to C-204. In fact, I got 2 letters confirming that the exam was in the gym.
How perfect that my last experiece as a student at Laurentain was complicated by administrative difficulties?

That's it for now. Except for this picture (which is perhaps the most entertaining thing in this post):
