Alex's Questions Answered
What is the strangest thing that’s ever happened to you?
Back in the day, I used to hang out with Jon Minor and Gary, so you know this will be really stupid. They were on this ghosts kick, and they had “heard somewhere” that the reason nobody usually gets to stay in the Fitch guest room was because it’s haunted. So we all stood up and Jon Minor invoked some sort of weird seance type shit.
Jon insisted he could see little faintly glowing globules floating around in the room. Gary agreed, and reached into a few of them, saying they were warmer or colder, I can’t recall which. At the time, I thought I could see something too. Jon Minor started doing his weird religious shit; he had had a “spirit mentor” who helped him travel into the future and past, and to Mars, and he had a weird crush on this girl which made her figure into all of it.
Anyway, it was pretty strange, and the next day Gary insisted he had just been playing along. This was my freshman year of college, so it seems pretty likely to me that it was just a group hallucination or something.
What is your happiest memory?
I have a lot of happiest memories these days. :)
What was your worst nightmare about?
Not sure what the worst ones have been about. I recall one from my childhood where I went outside and saw a big goofy UFO floating over the house, went inside and tried to tell the fam about it, but the parents were already taken over by aliens, and Nathan and I tried to escape, but I think he got taken over too or something strange like that happened.
If you had to pick one song to listen to for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Hard call. Probably “Story To Tell” by Death, but there are more up-tempo things I might rather have in my head all the time. Maybe “Black Rose” by Thin Lizzy or “Enlightened Evolution” by Astral Projection, because that wouldn’t piss me off in the long run so much as fade away. Or…
When your driving with Eric, do you ever get the urge to sing Lowrider?
No, but we did give people “a taste” of Control Machete once, which was pretty awesome. :) We cranked it up and rolled down the windows whenever we passed a car with windows rolled down. Bien, Bien!
What do you think of miseltoe?
It’s probably great if you’re some foppish Brit piece-of-lame. I bet it’ll be a hit around the Clan apartment this year. :)
If there were no cats, what would your favorite animal be?
Well, Racoons. :) I was really into wolves until I got to Tech and saw what that meant for a certain group of people. Bears are pretty awesome. My spirit animal is probably the shit-flinging bonobo. :)
What’s your earliest memory?
In preschool, I was in a sandbox somewhere (probably Calico Butterfly, which was the preschool I went to). Dad handed me this construction toy made out of metal with lots of levers that made it do different things. And I was happily playing with it and this other kid comes along and takes it away and starts playing with it. I go up to Dad and try and tell him the other kid took away my toy, and he didn’t understand.
I bet it was the school’s toy or something, and Dad was just handing it to me.
What is your ideal shoe?
Well, it would have to be ultra soft and comfortable, water-proof, and not look flashy. It would either be really complex to put on, because that’s fun, or really easy to put on, like just sliding on. It would have a massage mode for massaging feet. You could press a button and they would fall off with a loud, fun popping noise, but there would be no way to press that button while walking. It would have a built in iPod. :)
