I think that some initially counter-culture clothing can become so popular, so widely adapted, as to become a part of culture.

Nothing. Because that is.. pretty awkward.

Why would you do something awkward like that?

Because it brings pleasure to the mind and joy to the soul.

I confess I sing in the shower.

If you were to sing in the shower, or do, what song do you sing?

I massacre A-Pop hits I can barely understand half the words to when I exercise. Veikitamo, of all people, turned me on to it.

Something you want to be fair, need to be final, and rarely get.

Have you ever needed to be in two places at once? How did you manage it?

Even though our love is cruel; even though our stars are crossed.

Many, MANY times. I have needed at the same time to be visiting a friend at her home, and also needing to be asleep in bed. I have needed to be in my pod mining and on video feed with my uncle showing off his new daughter. And though it's not a need, it's still troublesome; all the time I am in highsec, with the nice food and the easy commerce, I wish I was in lowsec with the solitude and the sense of the forbidden. And vice versa.

Agh, I am so lazy and I complain too much.

What was your first pet? Tell me all about it, I want so many details.

An experimental, shape shifting little blob of a drone called SROMA (Survival ROAMer A). It started as an experiment in "cockroach" intelligence, where a few interconnected algorithms allowed an increasingly wide range of adaptive behavior in pursuit of "sustenance" (electricity to recharge). I found my little "Quicksilver Water Bear" charming in its persistence, and eventually added a pet program. Several others have been gifted spin off SROMA's, but the original has become, and remains, my first pet.

These days, it pretty much seamlessly combines it's few needs into a near constant sense of playful affection. How many pets can you feed just by letting them snuggle and casually absorb waste heat and bioelectricity? How many can you not worry about stepping on? Not many. Needless to say, I'm pretty fond of this little thing.

What pet would you have, if it could be anything at all?

I have a tendency to throw VAHZZ, a cloned mercenary, out of the air lock. I've done it a few times and now I just can't find him.

Black and Gold has the highest Contrast, which makes it Better for Fashion - Example: Gold Accents and Decorations on a Black Dress. The Contrast catches the Eye.

A third I can answer! They're coming thick and fast these days!

Do you remember JiaLei Lian? Maybe your strain wasn't around then, but your Church most definitely was. (I think!)

There was one night I went to visit her, and Degen accompanied. Neither of us quite knew that she was so artistically inclined until she showed us her collection, quite on a whim.

My! Back then, I was--I'm not afraid to say--somewhat taken aback! I think I speak also for Degen when I say we weren't expecting anything quite so meticulous or, well, visceral. To see so many objets d'art so carefully arranged in just a single gallery? Powerful!

Back then, I was rather mixed on the whole affair. I rather feel that the change of pace caught me off-guard, you know? A few carefully-designed reinterpretations later, though, and I'm more inclined to see where JiaLei was coming from with the whole ensemble. I rather wish I'd spent more time there, now!

To summarise: a most remarkable modernist still-life exhibit initially left me shaken and intrigued. The latter sensation faded, while the latter only grew!

Of all the questions in the next respondent's life, which would they most like to see an answer to, and--more importantly!--why?

A dry ration DRX235298-G8945K7 produced by Caldari Navy and designed for capsuleer consumption. Its feeding properties even exceed capsule automatic feeding systems. It supplies our bodies with best proportions of aminoacids, vitamins and microelements, required for cloned bodies, and it is the best food money could buy!

What's your worst mistake that you can't forgive yourself for?

Glalen Pastries description in Neocom:
Quote:
Ghalen is an old Achuran dish of ground meat mixed with chopped vegetables, wrapped in large green leaves and cooked in fat and oils. Each Ghalen pastry is usually the size of a man's fist, dripping with juice when one bites into it. It is served piping hot and is one of the few dishes of old that has not only retained its appeal, but become known throughout the world of New Eden.

I have seen many kinds of them showing around lately, recipes vary from place to place. They are popular once again I assume.

I am uncertain what Ghalen pastries are but meat pastries are my favorite. I really just love meat of all varieties though fish tends to be my favorite.

What do you fight for?

Depends on what kind of fighting I'm involved in. If in space, probably to defend my right to be where I am, and for my pay. Or just because I can. If in a holo-game, for the high score and phat lewtz. If in an argument, to get our worldviews modified, added on, etc while being as annoying as I can possibly be. I fight my machines to get them to work properly. I fight with my pants to get into them, or to stop them from dropping off in public. I fight that awfully spicy curry to get myself satiated without setting my digestive system on fire. Etc etc etc.

What other ingredients should I use with mushrooms to make pie? No poultry, by the way.

INGREDIENTS

Crust:
2 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup sour cream

Filling:
3 Tbsp. butter
2 1/2 cup chopped onions
8 cups coarsely chopped mushrooms (1 1/2 - 1 3/4 lbs.)
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme
1 8-oz. package (room temperature) cream cheese, cut into cubes
salt & pepper

PREPARATION

Crust: Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Add butter and cut in with fork until it looks like coarse meal. Add sour cream and stir until dough comes together. Shape dough into disk; dived into 2 pieces (1 about 2/3 of dough) and (1 about 1/3 of dough). Roll larger piece on lightly floured surface to 14-inch round. Transfer to 10-inch glass pie dish and trim overhang. Roll remaining to 12-inch round and place onto baking sheet. Cut into 1-inch wide strips for top lattice. Chill crust at least 30 minutes. Filling: Melt butter in heavy skillet. Add onions and saute until soft and golden, about 6 minutes. Add mushrooms and thyme. Saute until mushrooms are tender and release juices, abut 6 minutes. (Can be made ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm over medium heat before continuing). Add cream cheese and stir until melted. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Preheat oven to 400-degrees. Spoon filling into crust. Top pie with strips in lattice pattern. Fold strip ends and overhang under. Crimp edge decoratively. Bake pie until filling is heated through, about 45 minutes. Cool pie 30 minutes before serving.
