Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Technic.
My fascination with LEGO began... Earlier than I can remember.
I once built... A big, crazy tower. I loved it. Except, I had used some of my sister's lego to make it. So while I was asleep, she took it apart and rebuilt it without her pieces. Bummer, but I could hardly fault her -- I knew I shouldn't have been using her pieces.
(my parents had actually gone so far as to evenly divide our communal Lego between us, and to paint a colored dot on each piece to identify who it belonged to)
LEGO is great because... It just is. If it isn't obvious, I don't think it can be explained.
LEGO fans are great because... They play.
My favorite Hobbies & Interests: Role-playing games, wargames, martial arts.
My favorite Foods: Food is overrated.
My favorite Movies & TV: Good movies. No TV.
My favorite Artists: Escher; Matisse; Wayne Barlowe.
My favorite Music: Everything except Country (or Western).
My favorite Pets & Animals: Pets are overrated, but animals in general are very cool.
Words which best describe me: Easygoing. Abstracted. Inquisitive.
I love it when... I understand how something -- for example, a mechanical aspect of a Lego model -- works.
I hate it when... I anticipate some feature working in a much more complex and intersting way than it turns out to.
I also hate it when people say "Legos".
I can't seem to get enough... Time to build things.
I always seem to have enough... Things that need to be done (or paid) when I could be building (or buying) Lego.
In my craziest moments... I contemplate blowing a paycheck on Lego. But my landlord, creditors, and family probably wouldn't appreciate that.
More & Less:
- more innovation, less replication
- more emergent complexity, less confusion
- more freethought, less superstition
Rules I try to live by:
- You know what's right. Do that.
- Question everything.
- Be nice.
