2) What is your favourite colour?
Blue...But I'm going through a green phase at the moment (Keep leaning towards green colours instead of blues).

3) What kind of music do you like?
I tend to not be fussed, I don't like screamo, but I like metal. I like older music, I'm not sure why. I like trance, rock, R&B, pops etc..

4) What do you do on your free time besides spending time on SMF?
I write poetry, and work on my website . I love to code, and I love to write. I'm not too bad at coding (basics), but I'm a good writer. Here's one of my poems that people seem to like:

Ballad of the Duck

"There's no one out there for me," the duck said to the goose
"Not even the farmers there for me, this morning he turned me loose"
The goose put his wings around and said with cheery aloof
"I can show you there is you see, if you want the proof"

The duck felt apprehensive, and worried on his luck
"Come on," called the goose, "let's find you another duck!"
The duck refused to move, to take off from the ground
That was until he heard a very fatal sound

They flew towards the mountains, each at the others side
On and on until they found its cavernous divide
They landed on the rocks and the goose cried out with glee
"I know there's someone here for you, 'cause there's someone here for ME!"

The duck listened carefully as "me" was shouted back
The duck was kind of startled and let out a mighty "Quack!"
But silence filled the cavern as the duck waddled all around
And no matter what he called there was no duck-like sound

"I'm sorry," said the goose at last, "Now I see it's clear"
"There really is no one for you, no one to hold you dear"
With that he bid the duck farewell, and left him there to cry
Oh the poor forlorn duck how he did wish to die.

Karma found the goose you see the hunter shot him dead
The duck found some water and to more he was lead
Now he lives in a lake and has himself some friends
Though our duck does live on, here his Ballad ends.

Written Dec 6th, 2007. It was inspired by this brilliant poet.

5) What are your goals/dreams in life?
I want to be a writer. That's all I want to do. Write.

6) What got you involved in SMF?
Well...my old forum was hacked on August 31st -- September 1st 2007, and I tried to stop the hacker (for 30 hours), but failed. After this I got involved in a hackers society because my ex was in one. They all told me to go SMF because it was the safest forum software out there, so on September 4th I set up a new forum, FULLY intending to delete it and go back to the old software....Then I saw how fast and easy it was, and how powerful, and I couldnt turn back...I emailed all the old members, and shut the old forum down. I got into SMF, the team was always helpful, and it was SO easy to customise. I fell in love with it so fast, and today I STILL loves it .

7) Who do you admire? Why?
Too many people. The SMF team, my own team, my parental units, my friends...

I love Nudge, he's the best dog I've ever had. I used to pull him through my window at night before I got my 400 gallon tank (that blocked the way) and 7 fish. They're still in Aus too .

Dogs very loyal. Especially huskys...

[Vaѕh]

I guess now I know everything I need to know about Alundra!

I sort of wish I had a dog, but there's really no room for one here.. though our house *is* fenced in. Samoa makes things a little different when it comes to pets. :p

Also:

36) How many hours a day do you spend in the computer?

Haha.. :p

[Jade Elizabeth]

Lol

Hey Vash
Get a small dog, like Nudge

[Vaѕh]

Lol

Hey Vash
Get a small dog, like Nudge

Unfortunately, we have stray/wild dog issues here.. pretty bad. :p This topic isn't about me so I won't detail the problems too much.. but I wish I could. I'd rather I had a bigger house/yard for any dog (of any size), it's unfair to them to be couped up like that!

Cats on the other hand are easier to maintain.

[itgroup]

Anyway questions, usual stuff:

- Watch the Simpsons?

[Fustrate]

Another question: What's your favorite flavor of chocolate?

[Jade Elizabeth]

- Watch the Simpsons?
-- If so, you got a favourite Episode or Character?

I dunno the name of the episode, but my fav is the one where Homer is swimming around as a shark, and he stands up and laughs "heh heh heh" Then Bart comes up next to him and does the same and he screams "AHH! Shark boy!" and runs. Makes me laugh just thinking about it.

Another question: What's your favorite flavor of chocolate?

Milk. I like white too... Dark is my least favourite .
If it's nutty, I prefer almonds .
Don't mind caramel in it either .

That would be 2F01 - Itchy and Scratchy Land.
