    So...What do you wanna be :)

    Two 1/2 more years and I get my MSc in Geology and hopefully work as a structural geologist dangling off cliffs and the like.

    How Many Languages Do You Speak?

    I'm fluent in English and Samoan, both of which I grew up with. My Maori is passable but not great and everyone I know that speaks it uses English more so I don't get much practice.

    Manny Pacquiao

    I missed that fight unfortunately...Saw the knockout on the news though, it was impressive quick sharp jab to open him up and then a nice accurate left bang on the off button. Pity I missed it but I was busy watching a replay of Shane Cameron trounce Kevin Montiy to retain the Pan Pacific and...

    Broke up? Take some leave!

    I think it is a good idea, although as has been said very easily exploitable. But in certain occupations it may be necessary, take myself for example. Personally I would prefer to keep busy after a break up, but seeing as I work part-time as a roofer, it would be irresponsible to work when mine...

    Oil Drilling in Alaska

    As if the environment hasn't been raped enough, Kiwi on an environmental high horse, change the song. But in saying that the drilling is unfortunately a necessary evil. For the moment there are no viable forms of alternative fuel; bio-fuel on a large scale would cause more problems than it would...

    What Path Would You Choose?

    I'd work on an airship, that would be fascinating. Failing that I'd be a Knight of Pluto getting drunk and making a dick of myself...Just like real life but with a sword.

    Worst Injuries

    The worst injury I've had was fracturing my L3 and L4 verterbrae after a well-placed knee to the spine in a rugby game...The most painful was dislocating my knee and fracturing the knee cap also in a rugby game when I was 13. Recently I had a pretty embaressing one, after having won a boxing...

    What did you do when Aeris died?

    I found it quite sad, she was a great character but I just kept playing and in any case it was hard to feel genuinely upset over the death of a pixelated midget. Maybe I'll have a cry or something if the remake rears its mythical head.
