What Muppet are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
You belong in RING OF HONOR (ROH). You don’t care
about gimmicks and characters. You like to be
part of technical matches. You may not be as
big as WWE performers but you are very skilled
and you feel that is more important.
You like to have long matches that focus on the
athletic abilities of the wrestlers. You would
fit in here no problem.

All right, kids, you know the drill, but here goes anyway…
Here are the rules:
1 — Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2 — I will respond; I’ll ask you five questions.
3 — You’ll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.
4 — You’ll include this explanation.
5 — You’ll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.
And away we go…
1.) Once being highly involved with band and music myself, do you ever regret not pursuing a career in music?
Not at all. In fact, to be perfectly honest, my main regret is not getting out sooner. I learned too late that in order to have a successful career in music (without teaching), one must be extremely dedicated, extremely insane, and/or extremely lucky. I was none of those, and I didn’t want to get into teaching. Music’s great as a hobby for me, but as far as jobs go I prefer where I’m at now.
2.) Though nothing to be ashamed of, you’ve never graduated college. Do you think you will ever go back and finish, or are you happy where you sit now with your current job?
I’m happy where I sit now with my current job, though I might very well go back to college and get an MIS degree. I haven’t really decided either way, however. If I do get a degree, it’ll much more in management than in programming, with maybe an accounting minor thrown in.
3.) If you won a million dollars today in the lottery, how would you spend it?
I wouldn’t, right away. I’d continue working, but make sure the money was invested somewhere where I could live comfortably on the interest.
4.) You are given 24 hours notice until the day you die. Assuming money wasn’t an issue and you were in normal physical shape, how would you spend your last day alive?
That’s a tough one. I’d probably make a few last calls, settle my affairs, and then … well, just find something spontaneous to do.
5.) In your three years so far with Mortal Kombat Online, do you think your time and effort was worh it?
Three years? We’re actually a couple of months from four years, officially. I’d like to think it was. When we started, we were just another MK website in a sea of MK websites. Since then, we’ve evolved to become the most popular MK fansite on the web. To this day it still amazes me when I see people who know of our site. I still can’t get over the fact that MK designers know us by sight. (For example, before the presentations at the last Gamers Day, I was walking out to the hall to get a drink. Ed Boon was talking to a couple of people, when he looked around and noticed me. I gave a little salute in greeting, and he smiled and waved.) It’s difficult sometimes, I admit, dealing with all of the stress and whatnot concerning the site… but then I get people thanking us for what we do, both among the community and from Midway, and it makes it all worthwhile.

And off we go…
1. If you woke up and could suddenly arrange 3 things in your life to be exactly perfect and how you want them, what would those things be?
First off, I would be a hell of a lot less shy and more social than I am now. Then again, that’s a bit of a given. ;-)
Secondly, I would be in shape and not such a sucker for food. I’m going to try and do something about that, but as with any kind of addiction it’s difficult to overcome.
Third, I’d be living in Vegas making money on the poker tables. I’m not quite that confident in my own abilities, though, so I limit myself to the occasional poker game with coworkers and the bi-annual tournament a coworker holds.
2. Do you want children?
I honestly don’t know. I’ll cross that bridge once (if?) I settle down with the right woman. I’ve been told I’d make a great father, but we’ll see.
3. Has learning that you have aspergers syndrome affected your life in any way good or bad, and do you understand yourself any better because of the diagnosis?
It hasn’t really affected me in a good or bad way, other than the fact that yes, I DO understand now why my thought processes are so different from the average person’s. I can accept it and live with it. My only regret concerning it is my crippling case of shyness. I can deal with that, though.
4. What is your biggest pet peeve?
I have three of equal size. I hate when people waste my time. I hate out and out stupidity. I hate when people try to force their beliefs on others.
5. If you could be anywhere with anyone right now, where would you be and with whom?
That’s a pretty good question. For lack of a better answer, I’d have to say in Las Vegas (most likely at Caesar’s or the Luxor) playing blackjack or poker with Missy, with Blue Man Group tickets in hand for the night. It’d be a great night out with my best friend who I hadn’t seen in ages. :-)
Here are the rules:

I should have known better than to have Demmie interview me, but here goes…
1.) What would it take for you to move out of your parents’ place and live on your own, and are you taking any of those steps?
At this point, I’ve been seriously considering it. I’d probably need to straighten up my room (so that I have everything put in its place so it’s easier to move out), find a place I’d actually want to live that’s not a hellish drive from work, and actually get some motivation. I’ve been keeping an eye out, but we’re still in the exploratory stages. (Not to mention the fact that I’d feel guilty leaving them without another source of income and someone to help out when needed.)
2.) If you could always have the perfect woman, or the absolute perfect computer, which would you choose and why?
I don’t believe either exists. :-)
Seriously, though, I’d pick the perfect woman. A computer is a tool. It’s not a companion.
3.) What’s your ideal role-playing situation?
Eh? I’m not sure this is the answer you’re looking for, but the best RP I’ve ever done was this very freeform version of LARP done by my friend Jeff. We didn’t pester anyone in public; we kept to the house and it was fairly loose and informal, but still was the workings of an epic story. I miss those days.
4.) Where were you, (in your journey in life,) one year from today? And where do you honestly think you’ll be a year from now?
I’ve never had a grand plan for my life; I take it one day at a time. I’m not too concerned with the future… anything can happen between now and then. If I had to guess, I’d say I’ll probably be at the same job, doing the same thing, with maybe having moved out.
5.) If you could choose to A. finally have that woman you’ve been longing for that you’ve been best friends with but could just never have, and have it end soon after, or B. never have that relationship but always have the friendship, which would you choose and why?
I’d choose B in a heartbeat. One of my classmates back in high school made a rather poignant observation after her parents got divorced: “You can’t be in love without being friends. It just doesn’t work out.” I value my friends’ friendship, and I would rather not destroy it for a moment of passion that would pass by all too quickly and become only one memory.
Game over.
Congratulations.

Doing the math for you, that means you got 100% correct.

You scored as Antoninus Pius. Your attention to good character and stability has earned you your standing as Antoninus Pius. Your long and moderate reign is probably one of the most peaceful epics in human history up to the modern age. It is too bad more emperors did not share your humility.
