Interviewed by The Devil

- Leave me a comment saying, 'Interview me.'

- I will respond by asking you five questions of a very intimate and creepily personal nature.
Or not so creepy/personal. Or downright silly, taking into account how I think.

- You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.

- You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.

- When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.


I asked for an interview.


Her questions:
ichi- What is "Bavarian Illuminati Motorcycle Club"?
ni- Where you once an addict?
san- How long have you been studying martial arts?
shi- chocolate or vanilla?
go- How old is your cat?

My answers:
(Ichi) The BIMC is a motorcycle club with discordian ends. It's really summed up easily by fnord.

(Ni) Not officially. I've used most of the substances around (except for the newer semi-synthetics) to excess, and almost to self-destruction, but I was able to realize that, and end my use. My last illicit or illegal substance was in 1989.

(San)I have most recently studied Ryo Bu Kai Karate Do for about two and a half years, and I'm 6th kyu. In the past, I've studied Ed Parker's KemPo, some Iaido, and lots of SCA weapons training and practice. Some Judo, and very little Tai Chi, although I may be adding Tai Chi to my training regimen very soon.

(Shi) Chocolate. Dark. High Cocoa. MMMmmm.

(Go) Phaedrus is about 9 human years old. He was a gift to my ex-wife, but he picked me at the Humane Society as a kitten, and I have been waitstaff for him ever since.

If you choose to inteview me, I will post to my own blog, and not here. You may choose to do so or not. However, I will add one more stipulation:

You may not ask of me the one question you have asked everyone else in your interviews of them. If you think about this long enough, you will understand why.

Namaste,
Sienna

[grim23]

I do choose. Post as you will. I would not ask you that question, as it would be disrespectful---and I am already working on the important lessons you teach me. Plus, I know what I most need to learn is within me.

Namaste,
Grim
