I'm not in college, I'm an EMT/firefighter for my town. Had to take a bunch of courses for that. I'm gonna be layed off soon though cuz of budget cuts, so I've been focusing on my personal projects. College never suited me, the idea of paying a considerable amount of money to take some classes I want to take and a bunch more that I don't, so I can get a piece of paper that says I know some stuff, not guaranteeing anything. I got by in Los Angeles on my charming personality, incidentally.

Okay, I knew you were an EMT/Firefighter (I read that somewhere) but I assumed with the engineering type things you had some form of post-secondary education. Wrong! Hahaha. Right now being anywhere but school frightens the bejeesus out of me. Real world... nope, no thank you.
I was seriously considering becoming a paramedic for a while, but I know I don't have the fitness to do it. I'd want to be one of the higher levels, IE one of the fullblown doctors on wheels, but I'm not physically fit, haha. Oh well, found something else I wanted to be. Did you always want to be what you are? When you were younger (not necessarily a kid, like in the past few years or so) did you want anything else? |

Did a lot of acting as a kid and I expected to do acting stuff in LA, but I left to take care of my dad before I could get involved. I don't really think ahead though when it comes to myself. I just go.
As a paramedic, the main goal is to get the patient to the best place possible for their condition, which is almost always the hospital. There are some unfit paramedics out there who still are able to do all the work they need to. The thing is, the job gets you into shape, whether you are or not already is irrelevant. |

Mostly I just want to be a doctor, haha, but I can't last in school for that long. I'm not meant for school, I have mild ADHD (which almost everyone has, I realise) and I just can't focus on school even when I know I really should. I'm too scared to leave!
Acting is fun, but I've always personally felt that smart people are "wasting" themselves on acting. It irritates me that I have some brilliant friends and all they want to do is be on stage. I know where they're coming from - I, too, love acting, but I see it more as a hobby than a profession. They have so much going for them and no one is benefiting from it. Obviously people aren't going to agree, but it's just always seemed like a selfish profession to me. Although I can't talk since now I'm going into Archaeology :/ haha. I feel like such a hypocrite. Oh well. Tell me something that you feel really strongly about - a passion of sorts. (Man I'm terrible at wording these into questions.) |

Hmmm... it's a hard to answer question for a lot of people I think, narrowing it down. Philanthropy, in all kinds of ways, like prosperity for people and civil rights and stuff. Also, I'm pretty passionate about respect for women, whether it be women's rights or just plain personal respect. I often give my guy friends a lot of crap if they do something dumb to their girlfriends, and I've been known to beat up guys who try to take advantage of girls.

Toaster says he's brave. So who's braver, a volunteer firefighter or a kid who named himself after a household appliance?

The brave little toaster was brave!
What should I make for dinner for 5 people? Two of those people eat a whole freaking lot and it's impossible to get them full. |

Hmmm there are some cowardly firefighters out there. Regardless, not much of a fair question, TB's still in school where any firefighter has had a chance to roam about and experience some crazy dangerous stuff.
You ever play Mario RPG, and get those gloves for Bowser that let him throw Mario at enemies? It's like that. (IMG:http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/MagicPants/hurlygloves.png) Poison! No, uh, I'm not particularly good with main courses, and I'm not really sure how capable you are, but I'd lean towards some kind of meat and pasta dish. |

Gr I wish poison, except one of them is my brother coming home from Australia tonight. I'm trying to think of something that he probably hasn't eaten in a long time and that would remind him of being home! I'm thinking bacon and potato chowder, but like, triple the recipe, and then add croissants to that. If I add enough carbs they have to eventually stop eating.
Favorite comedian/favorite quote by him? ((I'm assuming it will be a male because females just aren't as funny :/ ) |

Oh there are women comedians, great ones, just they don't get much attention. Anyway probably something by Mitch Hedberg. I can't think of anything off the top of my head except when some guy asked him what he was drinking once, he said "Nyquil on the rocks. For when you're feeling sick, but sociable." The way he talks is like half of the act. He's my favorite comedian.
They sure are! Imagine cooking a whole bunch of chickens or something at once. Wicked easy. |

Is Gabstah aware that she could have taken some amphetamines to give her that much-needed buzz and it would've helped her study too? Also, did you know that before they were illegal a lot of campus shops sold those pills to students? Drugs right there man, it would've been so cool..

I wasn't here to give you insight how to fix your hangover, so I can only hope you prevailed anyway.
Didn't know it, so it falls into the category of unimportant. |

I toughed it out, and I aced the exam. No worries. I also didn't learn my lesson, as my brother is home (and STINKS holy crap, he's been in airplanes for over 24 hours) so we're drinking after he gets out of the shower. I hope it takes him a while, he stinks BAD.
How do you get rid of stink? It reeks, seriously. |

Keep showering, he'll smell fresh in a day or so. If he's stinkin' up your place, citrus scents tend to cut through other scents. Short of using heavy duty cleaner (we're talkin' bleach or ammonia), nothing can just up and remove a built up stink right away.
Yeah, I'm not gonna bother watching retarded mashed up youtube videos. They're not really funny. |

Hahaha after he had a shower we bleached the tub. It smells much better now! :)
Alright, new interesting questions. What is your position on drugs? Are some of them okay, are they all okay, are they all bad, should some of them be legal, etc? |

Do you download music online or go to a store and buy CD's?
