What was your major or field of study in college? Did you wind up working in that field or using that degree? If not, what field have you wound up in? 
Submitted by sneuf. 

Well, this is a thorn in my side, I have to say. My degree is in Documentary Photography, and no, I have never used it. The closest I got was working in a camera store for nearly six years, like so many other photography graduates. For a few years I photographed a lot of unsigned bands, pretty much all live shows, but a lack of confidence killed that for me. Not being very good generally is not a reason to not make it in photography anymore. There are so many unskilled and untalented photographers making a good living, particularly working for rock magazines. A good digital camera, huge balls and a an even bigger mouth are all thats needed. I only have one out of the three. I'll leave you to decide which one...

So now I work in the industry that most graduates fall into, retail. It sucks, I hate it, but as I'm not skilled in anything else, I don't have much choice.

Ringtones: What's yours and how often do you change it? 
Submitted by enrico.  

I have four:

I Wanna Rock by Twisted Sister - This is the ring tone for Mark. Yep, he is in a group of one. :)

Kyles Mom's a Bitch - This is for my closest buddies. Why it has to be this particular song, I don't know. Maybe I should look into changing that.

The A Team theme music - this is for my work buddies.

Guitar solo from Love Gun by Kiss - this is my general ring tone, for someone not in the above groups. :)

I haven't changed any of these in months, but I think I'll maybe put something Fooish on for my buddies. Or I could be really hokey and have You're My Best Friend by Queen. HA! Hmmm...

What do you think about Ryan Seacrest being chosen to host tonight's Primetime Emmy Awards?

I'm sure he'll do a fine job, so I'm all for it.

Who is Ryan Seacrest?

What will you remember most about this summer?

The fact that we didn't get one.

Yeah, it's been one of dem days.

If you knew you had one week to live, what would you do, where would you go, who would you see? 
Submitted by normatheartist

Nothing, nowhere and no one as I'm flat broke. In fact I'd probably speed the whole process up.

There's a cheery response.

Why do you live where you live?
Submitted by memtony.

I suppose it depends on how detailed you want to get.

I live in London because that's where I was born and raised.

I live in Streatham because that's where I've lived for 30 years, and more importantly, where my parents live.

I live in this particular flat because it's big and cheap. Relatively speaking, of course.

None of the above locations are permanent.

What's your favorite card game?

It's a sad indictment on the world we live in that my favourite card game is one that I play on the computer - Freecell. I just can't help myself. :)

Which band or artist which is no longer performing or alive would you have loved to have seen?

Who is your favorite video game character? 
Submitted by Korgoth.  

Sam Fisher. Absolutely the greatest video game character, bone fide guranteed. He is awesomely cool. Ergo when I play as him, I am awesomely cool.

Have you ever tracked down any of your old high school friends and fellow students? 
Submitted by campsite2007.  

Luckily for me all my school friends were obnoxious fuck wits so I have no desire whatever to track them down. :)
