1. Name: Walter Albert Young, III
2. Nicknames: Walbert, Wallbert, Wal-Mart, Elmo, Igor (the previous two are from middle school), Albie, Albie-good-baby (work nick names), Albertucinni (It's a me, Mario...)
3. Shoe size: 13
4. Do you have a crush: Not presently
5. Age: 17.1. Perhaps the most awkward age ever
6. Age you act: I dunno. Some have called me a guru (few of you have seen that side because I choose not to show it to many, but it's there), some have called me a child. 9-99?
7. Where Do You Live: Wayne, Pennsylvania; a suburb of Philadelphia
9. Birthplace: New York, New York
10. Favorite Salad Dressing: Thousand Island. Greatest thing ever. Tastes good in sandwiches, too.
11. Ever gone skinny dipping? Nope. But it's not out of the question...
12. What are you watching?: My computer? I just finished watching Resident Evil for the third time
13. Last person you talked to: Hmm, my sister, a few minutes ago
14. Favorite movie: I really don't understand why, but I feel compelled to say "Resident Evil". It's different.
15. Favorite Book: "House of Leaves", by Mark Danielewski. Even more different than RE. I love the book to pieces.
16. Favorite Type of music: I listen to almost everything (except (c)rap), but my favorite music is (don't laugh) industrial or, yes, techno. If you don't like that, you can fuck off :-)
17. Favorite types of car: Mmmmm, I love the DeLorean... why can't they make more cars with doors like that, even if they are impractical...?
19. Favorite Fast Food: I dunno. Anything fast is good and I will eat it, but I can't really label any fast food as "favorite".
20. Favorite Ice Cream: Coffee Ice cream, and any variants (mocha, etc.) Oh, and Rocky Road.
21. Favorite Alcoholic Drink: Chardonnay. It is, after all, magically delicious...
22. When Do You Go To Sleep: Depends on my mood. Sometimes I'll fall asleep at 3:00 in the afternoon, sometimes I'll fall asleep at 3:00 the next day...
23. Most Embarrassing Moment: Oooo, I've had an awful lot, and I'd rather not force myself to remember them all right now so as to choose one as the "most" embarassing...
24. Stupidest Person you know: Stupid is as stupid does. I think I've met some dumb people, but I wouldn't call any of them stupid (there is a difference, go figure it out for yourself, you stupid person).
25. Craziest Person you know: Well, "know" implies present tense, and I suppose I can't fairly say that I "know" them anymore. But, once upon a time, I "knew" and, dare I say it, loved someone quite crazy...
26. Favorite holiday: Thanksgiving, because I get to stuff myself more than the Turkey.
27. Favorite Food: Sushi! Sushi! Sushi! I <3 Sushi!
28. Favorite Song: I have a favorite song for every mood, but I don't have a song which I can label as THE favorite song.
29. Favorite Television Show(s): You know what? I haven't watched television in, like, two years, at least. I live online.
30. Favorite Radio Station: See question 29. All of my music is downloaded MP3's.
31. Favorite junk food: Chocolate. Anything that's chocolate. MmmMMMmMMm, I <3 chocolate.
33. Favorite color: Black. Jet Black, to be specific. Simple, fits well with anything, keeps you warm. I enjoy all of black's sub-varieties, as well. (Sub-varieties, you ask? Well, try throwing different articles of black clothing into the wash a few times. You will notice that each of them fades into a different black: blue-black, brown-black, gray-black, and stuff in between. I used to try to make them match, but then I gave up. But I digress). Some would call it rather depressing, but did you ever stop to think that black is the unity of all colors? Boo and yah.
34. Favorite Sneakers: I'm not really big on sneakers, I'm more into boots. Like black boots. MMMmmMmmm, black leather boots...
THE FUTURE:
1. School: Presently, University of Florida. If you want to know why, feel free to ask me.
2. Where You Want To Live: Okay, you know how the E-woks live in houses inside trees? Well, I want to live in a tree inside a house. Think about it.
3. How Many Kids You Want: Actually, I love kids. Not teens or pre-teens, because they're obnoxious bastards - I should know, I am one. But kids, as in little kids... the more, the merrier.
4. What Kind Of Job You Want: Something dealing with law. International law, domestic laws, etc... Making the laws, interpreting the laws, enforcing the laws, etc... Or, I'd love to be some jobless hobo who lives in the woods, kind of like Emerson in Walden...
5. Wedding song: WTF?!? I dunno! "Here comes the Bride"?
HAVE YOU EVER:
10. Gotten Drunk: No. I've gotten "tipsy". But it was in the presence of responsible adults (not 18-year-old adults, but like people in their thirties and forties), so it was okay. Yes, I've drunken with adults, yes, I'm a dork...
11. Been With Two girls/guys At Once: Nope. But, hmm, that would be kind of interesting...
12. Been In The Hospital: A few times, yes.
13. Let a friend cry on your shoulder: Again, a few times. I feel like a dick when it happens, though, because it's often due to something I've done.
14. Fell asleep in the shower/bath: I've nodded off, yes. But I wouldn't call it full fledged "falling asleep".
15. Gone to Church: Yep. Can't say that I currently feel a need for it.
16. Never slept during a night: As a matter of fact, I'm probably doing that tonight.
17. Ever been on a motorcycle or motorbike: I was on a moterbike in the Philippines. Which reminds me, their traffic has got to be the worst of any country I've ever been in - unless you're on a motorcycle or motorbike. Then you can weave between all the cars and laugh at them. Until you crash and crack you're head. That's not fun. :-)
18. Been to a camp: I once went to "smart camp" at byrn mawr college the summer between 6th and 7th grade.
20. Seen someone die: In person? Once. Really. Not fun.
21. Gone a week w/out shaving: Several, actually. I hate being half-Asian. It hardly grows.
22. Didn't wash your hair for a week: I have too much. If I did, I think something would grow in it.
24. Thought you were in love: Yep.
27. Said I love you and meant it: Yep...
28. Been hurt by a guy/girl you loved: Yep.
29. Stayed up till 4 am on the phone: See questions 24, 27, and 28. Yep.
WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU:
1. Took A Shower: 1:30 this afternoon, before I went off to work.
2. Cried: Sometime in the middle of last June.
3. Watched a Disney movie: Well, I tried to download "Resident Evil" on Kazaa earlier this week. And this file I downloaded, called "The Resident Evil Movie", turned out to be "Monsters, Inc." Go figure. But I watched it anyway. It was okay.
4. Given/gotten a hug: Well, for my Senior Project, Jason Sims and I are filming a comedy. And, while dressed up like a... man-woman-thing, I got to hug Russ Kay. Good times.
5. Been to the movies: As in, movie-theater movies? Road to Perdition, right before the end of summer.
1. Your Fondest Memory Of This year: Come to think of it, this hasn't been the greatest year. Hehe, the making of All in the Timing, even though the end result sucked, though, was quite amusing.
2. Your Most Prized Possession: I learned at a pretty early age that possesions come and go, so I don't get too attached to them... but you've always got yourself, and you'll always own that, so... I guess I am my own most prized possession.
3. The Thing That Makes You The Happiest: That moment when you realize you don't have to look for happiness in all of the little things, because it's staring you right in the face.
4. Your Favorite Food For Breakfast: ... Breakfast? Is that like, dinner, only, like, in the morning?
5. Your Favorite Food For Dinner: I would say Sushi, except I really don't have that often enough... oh, oh! Cous cous! MMMMmmMMmMMm! Cous cous! I <3 cous cous!
6. Your Favorite Slow Song: I 'unno.
7. Your Ideal BF/GF: Well, I've pretty much failed that, so I'm in the process of re-evaluating that...
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT:
1. Bill Clinton: Yeah, he had sex, and he was caught, and that was stupid. But he is a man. Other than that, I think he was an okay president, and he's a pretty cool guy, in general.
2. Love at First Sight: No such thing. Infatuation at first sight, perhaps. Get in touch with someone forty years from now who believes in Love at first sight right now, and, chances are, they're divorced.
3. Abortion: This is, actually, quite related to Transhumanism thinking. Long story short, I am fully pro-choice. To take it a step further, I fully support total stem-cell research and embryo experimentation. Yes, messing with embryo's is bad. But doing so could get information and materials which could potentially save thousands, if not millions, of lives. Also, why give birth to a child who's going to be shuffled around foster homes and unloved? Of course, if you are willing to love the kid, by all means, give birth and do so, please.
4. Teenage smoking: Waste of time.
5. Pot: Hey, if you wanna smoke it, it's up to you. I've never tried it myself. I've never really cared to, yet, anyway.
6. Eating disorders: Hey, did you know they actually found one of the genes which can cause obesity? Which means, eventually, they might make medicine for it. Interesting. Check out tomorrow to your left.
7. Rap: I don't like it. If you like it, that's cool. But I could never associate with it myself.
11. Drinking: I don't ever want to get smashed. But social drinking, in moderation, I think is okay, although I've never really done it myself (except, as I've mentioned somewhere above, in the presence of rather older people).
12. Life: 42.
14. God: I believe that there's some "greater power". But to call it a God, a single entity, and to have the balls to say that we're so special, we were made in his image, seems silly. If Horses were sentient, they'd say God was a horse. If crap was sentient, they'd worship the crap God. While I'm not really religious (angnostic, I guess), I think the whole Falun Gong thing coincides with what I believe in the most, but I really can't say I quite belong to that or anything similar.
RANDOM QUESTIONS:
1. What are your favorite forms of jewelry?: Pince-nez, though they aren't really jewelry...
2. Have you ever liked someone too young for you?: Well, I once had the hots for this 11 year old... but I was 10. So I guess that's okay.
5. What is the first thing you say on the phone?: Well, I don't do it always, but I will often pick up the phone and say "Ahoy-ahoy?" Not that crazy.
6. What are you wearing? Black dress pants and a black T-Shirt.
7. What did you do yesterday: Slept (a lot) went to work.
8. Who was your last crush?: Well, this was towards the end of summer. I won't say her name, but it ended when I found out she was a lesbian. Fooey.
