In the Noc-Light: rainbow kirby

29-06-2009 4:31pm#1Our official Rainbow Warrior is up and under the multi-coloured Noc-Light of inquisitivness!
So, to start off:
1) How many different sports do you do and do you have a favourite?
2) What are your thoughts on RTÉ not giving the Pride parade any real air time at the weekend?
3) What are you looking forward to most in Galway?
4) Why heavy metal?
I'll probably have more at a later date

1) How many different sports do you do and do you have a favourite?
2) What are your thoughts on RTÉ not giving the Pride parade any real air time at the weekend?
3) What are you looking forward to most in Galway?
4) Why heavy metal?
1) At the moment I run and swim. I haven't trained much in taekwondo in a while, and won't do much until after the Dublin Marathon.
2) I think it's a bit of an insult that 12,000 people celebrating who we are and standing up for our rights aren't even mentioned on the national broadcaster, while the Oireachtas family day and the ordination of priests both get airtime.
3) Actually having money because I'll finally be working! It's also a bit of a change from Dublin, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't really nervous about it. I'm staying in a hostel down here until I get somewhere to live properly.
4) Because it's AWESOME.

1) Chips1) Daddy or chips?
2) If you had to choose an actress to play you in a movie, who would it be?
3) Favourite TV shows?
4) Were you upset to hear Jacko died?
2) Natalie Portman
3) South Park, Family Guy, ER, The L Word
4) Not really, I was just waiting the obligatory 5 minutes for the jokes to start though.
1) Not really, but I do love my "Save a tree - eat animals" t-shirt that I got in London last year.Master of Nothing wrote: »Howdy:)
1. Got a favourite item of clothing?
2. Ever fulfilled a dream, or have you any?
3. Chocolate or Strawberry milk?
4. Fave actor/actress?
5. 3 things you would do if the 2012 theory was proved right and we are all DOOOOOMMMMED!!!!?
2) If getting to see one of my favourite bands in a small, intimate venue counts, then yes. Sonata Arctica, Button Factory, April 2008. \m/
3) Neither, I'm mildly lactose-intolerant.
4) Toughie! Purely as an actor, I think Sean Penn is amazing. I also love Samuel L Jackson, because he's cool
5) (a) Firebomb the Fianna Fail tent at the Galway races this year when it's full of politicians and the jackasses that got rich from the property bubble
(b) Go spend a lot of time travelling
(c) Just generally have a good time until thenWhat pisses you off about society?
What's the worst thing you've witnessed on a night out?
How would you rate your time in UCD?:pac:
Were you a part of the LGBT society in UCD? If so, I've read a few articles about people feeling excluded due to the alleged cliquish nature of the society. What's your view on that?
1) People being jackasses for the sake of it, people acting like the world owes them something and the way people tend to freak out a bit about anything that's different to their own narrow worldview.
2) Massive fight breaking out outside the Playhouse in Tallaght a few years ago, probably about 20 people involved.
3) That's actually a tough one, because I had some very good times there, and some very bad ones. So my answer is this:
4) Yes, I was a part of UCDLGBT in my last 2 years there. It is incredibly cliquey, and it can be very hard to get to know people. I was lucky in that I'd been talking to someone on AngryPotato over the summer who was fairly high up in the society so that gave me a bit of an "in", but for people who are completely new to things it can be very tough to get to know people and that can be a really huge turn-off for the society. Which is a pity, because part of the function of the LGBT society is to act as support for those who come to question their sexuality in their time at college and if it is very cliquey then it can be like a brick wall for someone who comes to the society looking for support.0 -

what was the story behind your user name?
who likes short shorts?
if you had a rhythm stick, which boardsie would you like to hit most?
how do you take your steak, burnt to a crisp or bloody as hell?
best/favourite book to movie adaptation?
if you could mod any forum which one would it be?
1) the Baha-Men
2) Event Match #6 in Super Smash Bros Melee is called "Kirbys on Parade" - the tagline for it is "Look out! A rainbow of kirbys is after you". I was playing SSBM for about 8 hours the day I picked my username, and I play as Kirby...
3) Kharn likes short shorts. *nod*
4) anonymous_joe, that hair could do mad things if hit with a rhythm stick.
5) Bloody as hell, but I'd prefer medium-rare.
6) The Shawshank Redemption
7) Nocturnal or Athletics/Running/Triathlon, I waste a crazy amount of time on both. I actually lost a popular vote years ago for a new mod for the UCD forum...0 -

1) Who would you hit in the face with a fish??
2) Your favourite food??
3) If you were a mortal kombat character, what would your fatality be??
4) Count Duckula or Trapdoor?? :P
1) Right now? Whoever decided that 7pm was an acceptable time for grocery shops to close. 9pm or GTFO.
2) Right now? Ice cream.
3) Making someone shoot rainbows from their ass by ripping them in two.
4) Duckula!
1) I love baked goods. Do tellstar-pants wrote: »Do you like baked goods? If so, I have two such places in Galway
What's your favourite item of clothing?
How many pairs of shoes/runners do you own?
Platypus or Pteradacytal?
Hugs or kisses?
Favourite childhood book?
2) Already answered - my "Save a tree: Eat animals" t-shirt.
3) Fewer than the average girl. I've brought new running shoes, old running shoes, black plimsolls, Reebok Classics, Caterpillar boots, low-heeled boots and flip-flops to Galway with me, and there's still about 10 pairs of shoes on the floor of my room in Dublin.
4) Pterodactyl ftw!
5) Both are awesome, but kisses tend to have more meaning behind them.
6) I was a huge Babysitters Club fan when I was younger, so probably them.0 -
(lol I loved those books too!!)
(theres Griffins..Griffiths... bakery near the bottom of Shop Street on your left, tiny place just as the road V's -YUMMY almond croissants and the other is Guya's or something, trying to remember where it is now. Expensive though).

1) What super-powered animal would up be?? What powers??
2) If you could cameo in any movie, what would it be??
3) Do you have any interest in sports, aside from the running and martial arts??
4) First concert you ever went to??
1) Rocket-propelled kangaroo. Just because it'd be fun.
2) Ong-Bak
3) I'll watch some football, GAA and rugby but I don't follow it in general. I'm contemplating buying a Dublin GAA shirt for some ****stirring down here.
4) Robbie Williams at the Olympia, October 1997. This was the time when kirby learnt not to wear heels to gigs - at 13 years old I learnt this early!0 -
Griffins, near the King's Head. Slightly old-fashioned, some very good stuff, a few sickly sweet things as well. Goyas is on Kirwan's Lane I think, small lane goes down just by Busker's and comes out at McDonagh's Fish Shop. Yep, trés expensive.star-pants wrote: »(theres Griffins..Griffiths... bakery near the bottom of Shop Street on your left, tiny place just as the road V's -YUMMY almond croissants and the other is Guya's or something, trying to remember where it is now.

Btw, Kirby, NEVER ask a native Galwegian where the King's Head is, 9 shillings gets you a groat that the answer will be "between the Queen's legs!"
And I seem to have missed the fact that you were moving this week, apologies.

Favourite game of all time?
Playing anything much lately?
1) Possibly. Seems to be more tourists than anything else here at the moment.
2) Metroid Prime, it's just pure amazing.
3) Not at all, I've tried to get back into playing stuff but I just haven't been able to. I need to get a new DS though, my old one broke a few months ago and I haven't been able to afford to replace it.0 -

1) What do you like and dislike most about yourself?
2) When was the last time you had a proper uncontrollable laughing fit?
3) What's the hardest decision you've ever had to make?
1) Like: I honestly don't know.
Dislike: Social ineptitude and fat thighs
2) Last Wednesday, at my brother's girlfriend having a string of blonde moments.
3) Either the decision to change courses in college a few years ago, or the decision to move to Galway on my own. I'm ridiculously homesick at the moment, I wibbled a bit when I saw the "Dublin 217km" sign this morning...Tell us about the last dream you remember?
What is Rainbow Kirbys motto to live life by?
If it is not too personal, what does the new job involve?
When did you first realise you liked girls?
Do you think it takes women longer to realise they are gay, generally?
Where is your favorite place in and out of Ireland?
What forums appear in your subbed list?
Top 3 Most visited websites in your browser?
What does it feel like to be fit?
How did that half marathon the other week go?
Do you have any favorite food combos, others find wrong?
Whats is your favorite ice cream?
What makes you happy?
1) I don't tend to remember my dreams.
2) Carpe Scrotum - grab life by the balls!
3) Application support for a large computer company's internal applications.
4) Sorta realised when I was 16, but completely denied everything until I was 19-20ish, came out to my friends at 21.
5) I think it does, guys tend to know (and be certain about it) at a younger age. I think that's down to sexuality being way more of a black and white thing for guys, while women tend to fill in more of the "shades of grey".
6) Favourite place in Ireland? Phoenix Park on a freezing cold, frosty winter morning. Outside of Ireland? Austrian Tyrol.
7) UCD, Rock/Metal, Ladies Lounge, Nocturnal, L/G/B, Athletics/Running/Triathlon, Atheism/Agnosticism, PI, AH
8) Pretty damn good actually! I have lots more energy and sleep better than I used to.
9) I finished in 2 hours 17 minutes-ish. Here's my race report from my training log.
10) Philadelphia and jam
11) Haagen-Dazs Pralines and Cream. NYOM.
12) Sex, chocolate, running, rocking the **** out. Not all at the same time1) Have you ever had any pets??
2) Worst job you ever had??
3) 3 countries you'd like to visit??
4) Can you speak any foreign languages??
1) Goldfish called Beavis and Butthead when I was about 10.
2) Stacking shelves in my local Super Valu when I was 15. **** pay, pervy boss who insisted that the girls wore short skirts, and crappy work.
3) Japan, Canada, New Zealand
4) I did French for my LC, got a B1 at higher level, but I've forgotten most of that. I also did 3 semesters of Japanese in UCD.Master of Nothing wrote: »Have you ever Rickrolled someone?
When you make a commitment to something that may be tough, are you hit by procrastination or just get through it?
How are you finding the move to the vescht, ok so far?
If you could ban one person from boards/promote one to being a mod, who would they be?:P
If a south park fan, would you vote Giant Douche or Turd Sandwich?:pac:
1) I used to be a bit of a troll on the WoW forums. Of course I've rickrolled people!
2) I just get through it, even if it is a pain in the hole sometimes.
3) I've been crazy homesick since last night, and I was woken up at 4am by my roommates in the hostel last night and didn't get back asleep properly. I think once I find somewhere to live it will get better, but right now it's hard to resist the impulse to jump on the first train to Dublin.
4) There are a few people I would like to see banned, but I won't go into details here because I'd rather not have mods jumping on me.
5) Giant Douche 0 -
