    QUOTE
    Hey there, everyone. Seeing as I'm the next spinner of the week, I guess I'll have to introduce myself here. I'm 18 years old and live in Drenthe, Netherlands. I study Mathematics in Groningen, and am a first-year student. Favourite music genres include progressive rock and metal [Ayreon, Dream Theater, Stream of Passion, Symphony X], but I listen to a huge variety of music, including bands like The Ramones, ASK, S.S.H., DJ Sharpnel, all kinds of video game music and remixes, Fish, Marillion, David Cassidy etc..

    I recently picked up chess again next to penspinning, and occasionally play a game of StepMania. I'm always up for a game of chess, you can find me on chess.com, I'm called Eriror there. smile.gif
    Some Let's Play videos will be made in the near future, you can check my videos out on youtube, if you haven't done so already: http://www.youtube.com/user/Eriror

  25. Erirornal Kraione
    Date: Wed, Jan 27 2010 01:51:04

    Just got back from chess, 1 AM and freaking tired. Pardon my Failinglish. I'm being brutally honest, by the way.

    wat is ur favourite chess opening and defense and trap?
    Queen's Gambit, Sicilian Defence Najdorf Variation, and I really don't know any traps by heart.

    Why do u study math?
    Because I love the way of thought it needs, and there aren't enough people who study Beta-sciences, so I thought I'd help the government out a bit.

    Wats ur favourite video game?
    I'm kinda in a dilemma with this question already. I'm stuck with two, Phantasy Star Online and Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals. I wouldn't be able to choose.

    Wats ur biggest achievement in life?
    Pfft, another tough question. I really really have the feeling that I never achieved something huge in my life yet, especially not in something outside the penspinning world. I've always been the one supporting others do something big, and be happy for them, and I've always been happy doing that. So, I'm not sure whether I can answer that question... I mean, there are a couple of things, but I really wouldn't call them achievements, rather things I'm proud of.

    Biggest fail?
    So many fails on my part, I wouldn't know what to pick. Naturally, there isn't one that I would believe to stand out from the rest. I'm rather constant when it comes to my fails. Being too afraid to apologise to one of my best friends and risking to destroy our friendship? Forgetting to sign myself in for an exam and thus failing it for this year? Being too scared to even stand on a dance floor for 5 seconds?

    Any regrets on something?
    I pretty much regret not having stood up for myself when I was younger. This way, I might not have been bullied so much and I might have not have my mind manipulated that much, so I would be a more confident person today.

    Have you had any shame doing something?
    I feel ashamed doing a lot of things, like when I was showing off penspinning more than four years ago. I was horrible, and people still wanted to see it. I was like a tomato, man. Or going along with fairy's dance lessons and actually being taught on the dance floor when everyone else is dancing around you so much better, so much more confident, so much more graceful. Yeah, I felt ashamed for even being there.

    Have you done anything your not supposed to do?
    Hahahaha. That's just a question that's rather sneaky. I would say no, I don't think I did anything I wasn't supposed to do. tongue.gif But maybe someone else might not agree. The cat might think it's normal to eat mice. But I'm sure the mice don't agree. If you really want to know, though, I could just say I've been talking about someone together with some friends. You're not really 'supposed' to do something like that. Otherwise, I wasn't supposed to spend the night together with fairy a couple of times. But it still happened. I didn't mind. But I'm sure others would have.

    Do you like cheesecake?
    I love cheesecake.

    What/Who do u hate the most?
    Do you want an answer to both questions? I hate my insecurity the most of everything. Just knowing that you should do things for yourself and others, but not having the guts to overcome that small fear and actually doing it, and actually being able to enjoy life more than I already am. In general though, I hate people the most who don't take the time to actually learn a person better than from first sight. A person is so much deeper, there's a whole history behind him or her. On the surface, he might look like a huge gothic. In the inside, he might be a sweet cuddly teddybear. You never know until you actually get to know him. And I think it's unreasonable to not take the chance and dismiss him for nothing.

    Wats ur favourite ice cream?
    I used to be a huge strawberry-flavour fan, but blueberries are slightly taking over nowadays. Or otherwise, just vanilla.

    Are you good at chess?
    I won a couple of hours ago from someone who is deemed pretty good, so... I'm not really good, but I can hold my own in most chess games.

    What do u wnat to be when you graduate from university?
    I guess a teacher of some sorts, or maybe just work in a company, with statistics. I still have around 5 years to find out what I actually want to do, so we'll see later.

    ---

    who is your inspiration of life?
    Heh, I've always had good answers for this question, but they have all slightly been slipping away from me. My two most favourite persons, and thus the persons who I take most of my inspiration from, are Terry Goodkind and Arjen Anthony Lucassen. The first because of the books he wrote, there are so many lessons of life in it, which I always try to listen to, hahaha... They just give me the will to live. Same with Arjen Lucassen and his music. He's been in a depression lately, and still managed to get out of it, and keep on doing what he loves doing most, making music. I admire him so much.

    who are you favorite writers (at least one for fantasy and at least one for other genres if you read them)
    Terry Goodkind, Terry Brooks, Margaret Weis, Karin Slaughter, Stefan Brijs. These are only a few I can come up with in my current state. XD

    I remember you were writing stories... any possibilities of reading it?
    I sadly lost most of them when my laptop crashed, but if I ever plan on writing something seriously again, sure thing!

    What's your biggest achievement in life (PS is excluded)?
    Asked before.

    Have you ever lost to someone on purpose?
    Not on purpose, but I do have the tendency to be more leniant on certain people... Which might account for the same thing. I do not believe that losing to someone on purpose gives them a better feeling, especially if they know that I didn't do my best. Having them win when I tried my hardest, I believe that would give the biggest kick, and that's how I would want to win as well.

    Is it easy for you to forgive people's mistakes?
    Yeah, I'm very forgiving... I'm often said to be too nice to people, because if someone occasionally hurts him, I forgive him really quickly. As if I'm too afraid to lose him as a friend I hold close. It happens more often than not. I rarely let a friend slip away unless I feel that the bond is too faint to repair.

    How do you see your future? where are you planning to work, live etc?
    In the future, I hope to have a job as a teacher/researcher somewhere, and if things are going well, hopefully in Germany at the time [as a certain someone doesn't want to leave. >_>] Of course, that's if everything goes well. Right now, I'm just trying hard to finish studying mathematics and find a decent job first to get settled. Things can change, though, so I might just become a world-famous star and get tons of bucks! You never know.

    Do you strictly obey the rules (if possible) even if you find them stupid?
    Actually, I do. Seeing as there are way too many rules, and some even contradict themselves, I can't possibly abide to all, but I really believe rules exist for a reason. I do have been quite leniant towards myself when it comes to stuff like that, but I'm usually a lot more strict.

    How often do you lie?
    Including small lies [saying you're fine on MSN even though you're feeling a bit under the weather], I have counted 43 lies in 1 week, once. But this was along with trying to be as honest as possible. So I would probably lie around 100 times a week. Major lies to escape something, not often. I don't like lying, I'm not good at it, nothing good comes out of it. I hate myself when I do lie for once, and it all comes back to me anyway.

    What bands have you seen live?
    The Ramones, several times,
    Alice Cooper
    De Kast
    Pigmeat
    Fish, several times,
    Star One ft. Ayreon
    Stream of Passion ft. Ayreon
    Stream of Passion

    In how many relations have you been, and what makes you think this one will have what last one didn't? (You needn't answer this one if you don't want to, just interesting)
    Including the one I'm in with Keksi at the moment, I've been in 4 relationships, of which they were 1.5 years, 20 months and 21 months. I... believe that Keksi is a lot more considerate of my autism and understands what I can't handle or have problems with, or rather is open to accepting it more than the other girlfriends I had. Overall, she just is more mature and talks more easily. That's the thing I missed most in my previous relationship, I wasn't able to have small-talk. Right now, I can talk and have fun, but still be serious with each other about each other without actually be really arguing, which I believe is very important as well.

    ---

    Do you like turtles?
    Hm... I do like seeing them, but I wouldn't want to have one myself.

    Shoe size?
    46, Dutch style.

    Height?
    1,90m

    Favorite mod?
    TurbulentTurtle, had some good laughs with him in the good old days. If you're talking about a pen mod though, I'd just say RSVP MX.

    Where does Eriror come from?
    Back in 2004, I just registered pn GameFAQs under the name Tollaw, from my favourite monster from one of my favourite games, Phantasy Star Online. I just was being active a bit on the PSO and Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time boards, and noticed some RPG-topics which I was interested in. I didn't want to play under the name Tollaw, so for my character, I tried to think of something catchy. Eriror was the first thing on my mind immediately, and I liked it, so I used it. Erirornal Kraione came when I was a lot more active on the PSO board and was a veteran there. Someone wanted to use "Eriror" for his fanfiction, and I agreed, saying he could just use my character. He then was like: "I'd like a full name, do you have one?", and I just thought of Eriror Krane, which could be extended to Erirornal Kraione. So that's what I used since then. People just call me Eriror because it's a lot easier though... Even though it's still fucked up way too often for my liking.

    ---

    What is one decision in you life you regret making?
    Having hurt myself on purpose, several times, to serious extents. It wasn't necessary, I could have just decided to live on normally by thinking, not by feeling.

    Who do you admire and why?
    Asked before. =P

    Why don't you sleep?
    I usually don't need it that much. If I really need it, I usually sleep. If I don't, I don't. It's annoying at times, but useful as well because I can spend more time doing the things I love. Especially fun when friends are over and you can pull off an allnighter together,

    Chicken or beef?
    Chicken, definitely.

    Are you a vegetarian?
    Judging from the previous answer, nope. =P

    Why aren't you on XBL anymore? D:
    Because I'm at my university a lot lately in order to study or just play some card games. =(

    Define perfect.
    Hahaha, we're getting philosophical now. I believe perfection really is really determined by the context in which it is placed. I usually see perfection as something that is so good, or so well performed, that it's near the point that it can't actually be improved anymore. Of course, when you apply this to penspinning, there is a dillema. I'm going for perfection, but it's not really obtainable as there's always something new to explore, there's always a way to get a little bit smoother. But I'm still going for it. I want to look as perfect, as effortless as possible with my spinning. So I guess that's my definition.

    ASDF or JKL;?
    JKL;, I love being different.

    How big is your fridge?
    Seeing as I don't have a fridge, there's no space. The shared fridge though, isn't that big. I guess I can make a picture one day, once we have a real camera again. Or I'll just carry my laptop + cam downstairs and make a pic, hahaha.

    Favourite drink?
    Cassis, I love it.

    ---

    What got you into pen spinning?
    There were other Dutch pen-spinners in my neighbourhood at that time, Michael and his twin brother patte. I was in Michael's class, and saw him doing some basic tricks, as he was just starting as well. I was flabbergastered, and really wanted to learn it myself, so I asked him to teach me. He showed me UPSBv2 at that time, and I registered. I watched some collabs [the first being UPSB + PDS], picked up a pencil, and was hooked for life.

    ---

    chocolate milk or regular milk?
    Chocolate milk, I'm not a fan of normal milk.

    2% white milk?
    I'll drink it if necessary.

    bagged milk?
    That's just awesome, really. Only found out about it a couple of years ago, but I love it. XD

    hot chocolate or regular chocolate milk?
    Hot chocolate milk, definitely.

    do you make hot chocolate with hot water or warm milk?
    Both, depending on what we have in the house.

    do you drink at all?
    Milk, yeah, alcohol, no.

    cow or women milk?
    I'll stick to cow milk, then. tongue.gif Not really interested in finding out what the other tastes like.

    >:] who's woman milk? *pervy smile*
    No comment, then. wink.gif Sorry about that.

    ---

    How was your visit with Isi? smile.gif
    It was just great, man! Definitely the best week of my life. =) Haven't had so much fun in a long time, and it definitely just kicked my life up a notch even more. happy.gif

    ---

    Is it true that if I scream and you scream we all scream for ice cream?
    No, you just scream, and ice cream.

    ---

    How did you and keksi start dating?
    I still have the convo somewhere, so I'll just post that soon. Basically said, we met at the German gathering, chatted a lot afterwards, found out we loved each other and got together. wub.gif

    In WT07, when you defeated legends such as cloud traveller and bonkura, how did it feel?
    Pretty much... Surreal. Being someone always feels awkward, in my opinion, as if you don't always deserve it, but actually beating Cloud Traveller and Bonkura? Wow, just unreal. I mean, I tried really hard for the battles, and the battles were close as well, but the fact that people just believed I was better than them is a really nice feeling. =) Same with last year. Even though I lost to Supawit127, the fact that people thought I was better, and I got some votes, it's just great. =) That matters a lot.

    Come to Toronto =D?
    If I had the money, I'd definitely come, but I'm afraid I'll be short on funds a lot the coming time. sad.gif

    wub.gif?
    wub.gif!

    ---

    Are you a religious person? or do you have any religion?
    I believe what I am is called agnostic.

    Do you see penspinning as an art or a hobby?
    Both, actually. It's an art that is a hobby. I believe the question sport or art is a better, and a well-discussed topic already. No need to bring that up again, I believe. XD

    Is there any PS trick you cant do?
    I'm not good at many of the already popular power tricks, and busts aren't in my comfort zone either.

    ---

    how of the above questions will you answer?
    All of them, it seems. =) Surprising, isn't it? I do notice the answers are getting slightly shorther though. =/

    have you tried spider spinning a spider?
    Nope, I never see a lot of spiders. The last time was around a month ago, I believe. >_> And it was led out of the house, so I had no chance to spin it.

    do you enjoy sports?
    I do enjoy sports, but I never really participate in them, especially now that I don't have PE at the university, hahaha. Maybe I should just go to the fitness centre once in a while.

    what sport do you like the most?
    Hockey, definitely.

    have any of my questions been asked yet?
    Surprisingly, no. Not yet. =P

    ---

    when's your solo coming out?
    I knew this question was coming. >_< I don't think it will be coming out any soon. It was supposed to be revolutionary, but it's obviously not going to be that anymore, now that I am simply not good enough anymore to compete with the top of the world. I don't have the spinning, nor the editing skills to make it completely worthwhile. The music that I was planning to use has been used by Supawit already, and the clips I already made aren't nearly as good anymore as they were. So I'll see, but I might just stick to freestyles.

    ---

    How are you?
    I'm doing good, even though I'm getting tired now. It's 3 AM right now, so I've been busy for a while already. XD I really got nothing to complain about aside from a lack of time to talk to the people I really want to talk to. Sorry, Isi. =( I'll catch up with you soon, I promise.

    ---

    do you think i could be as good as you
    If you practise enough, definitely. I don't see why not.

    ---

    kan i haz ur bebehz?
    Only Keksi. We're not even sure, though. =P

    ---

    how are you gonna' awnser all the above answers?
    As everyone does, one at a time. No need to rush, just using my fingers to push buttons and magically let the pixels on my screen change from colour. It's a wonderful thing, the PC.

    ---

    Are you going to let zuolin be the next spinner of the week?
    No. I don't believe he deserves it. As far as I'm concerned, he's a freaking scumbag who has nothing to search on UPSB.

    ---

    your relationship with keksi =D

    TELL ME! FRANKLY


    What do you want to know?

    ---

    How did you come to know about penspinning?
    Asked already.

    Favourite food?
    Lasagna, and tortillataart. And pasta-salad. Lovely. Just lovely.

    Favourite asian food?
    Eeeeh, rice with stuff? I'm really not sure. XD I eat nearly everything, but I'm not aware of what's asian and what's not. I'm sorry.

    Favourite non-asian food?
    Definitely the lasagna, hahaha.

    do you like me? no homo
    Yes sir. =) You're awesome.

    Have you ever been to Asia?
    I've never been out of Europe, for that matter. tongue.gif The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and France are the only countries I've been to.

    do you spin often in school?
    I used to spin a lot, but lately I don't have the time for it anymore. When following colleges, you have to write a lot, and if I do spin, and drop, there's a chance the pen will just roll down, and down, and down. I really wouldn't want that.

    Did your friends recognise you for spinning?
    Not specifically, but they do think it's nice. I don't think I really have got a real life friend [outside people that were already PSers] because of penspinning.

    Did your friends know you won 2nd in the WT?
    Yeah, they were pretty much rooting for me all the way in the WT07. It was really nice to see them being so enthusiastic. =)

    What tricks are you practising now?
    I haven't been practising a lot lately, but mainly Aerial HaiTuas and BackAround variations.

    Go into detail on your autism? (Don't answer this if you don't feel comfortable doing so.)
    Hm... I'm not really sure what to explain about my autism. I'm diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, which impedes my social skills by a fair amount. It used to be a lot worse when I was young and had lots of problems communicating normally with kids my age. I still notice that I have autism, obviously, but it's smaller things now, not noticing when someone is bored, not telling someone what I really want to do, just letting everything depend on someone else instead of me, and me just following along. They're smaller things I still need to improve, as it annoys people just as much as me being a social outcast in the first place. =P

    What kind camera do you own?
    My webcam is a Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000. We don't have a normal camera anymore as it broke a while ago.

    Do you like mudkipz?

    I don't dislike them, but it's not like I'm a big fan of that meme. >_>;

    How long can you go without sleep?
    As long as I have around 7 hours of sleep, I can last another night without sleep. I can keep up that cycle for around a week, but I do notice my mood changes more often and I get agitated and tired a lot more easily than if I just sleep for around 3-4 hours every night. I'm not as capable to be without sleep as before, when I could go for 4/5 nights, but I was a mental wreck afterwards.

    Do you even exist?

    Only in your mind.

    ---

    What do you think of my spinning?
    I do enjoy your spinning, I think you're definitely getting along with the rest. smile.gif Just practise a bit more, and you'll be the top, man.

    ---

    who will you pick for the next spinner of the week?
    I haven't decided yet. But truth be told, even if I would have decided, I wouldn't have told you. tongue.gif I'll start thinking about it now.

    Wat languages can u speak?
    I speak Dutch, English, German and French.

    millkshakes or smoothies or bubble tea(not sure you ever tried it)?
    Strawberry milkshake is still my big-time favourite.

    how does it feel to be the 2nd known UPSB couple with keksi?
    Well, I don't think Keksi and I are the second UPSB couple. Seeing as how I was together with fairy first, and then Eso and LotusWing came, and there's even Michael and patte with their girlfriends [patte's ex, now] registered on UPSB... Oh well. =P It's cool being a UPSB couple, but... If Keksi would just be someone from next door, I'd be content with that as well. Not really sure how to explain. =P The fact that she does penspin IS awesome, to be honest.

    Would you give classes on psing?

    If I'm given the chance, I'll take it with both hands!

    What does it feel to be spinner of the week?
    Questions, questions and even more questions. XD That's basically it for me. Of course, it's a certain honour, but I was notified it when Zombo found out he was the next one.
    "You're next".
    I was like: "nooooooooooooo, embarrasing questions! D:".
    So chyeah, it's cool, but holy crap I dislike non-serious and embarrasing questions. =P

    Do you play any instruments?
    I don't, I would love to, but I don't think I would actually find the time and patience to learn to play an instrument well enough. I can do basic stuff of some instruments, but that's what it usually stays with.

    Do you find less and less time to pen spin?
    Definitely, university and other hobbies take a lot of my time as well, lately... So yeah, I have less time to spin, which in order leaves me unable to catch up with the other pros anymore. =( It's a sad thing.

    ---

    how much hard disk space is used for your unreleased pen spinning videos?
    Around 2 GB, around 1000 videos of the 15000 I should have had by now. Lost/deleted most of them, though, otherwise I would have had a lot more, obviously. =P

    what direction do you think pen spinning is taking?
    I'm not really sure.. It seems like penspinning forums are dividing a lot lately, one side wanting pure power tricks, another side just wanting pure style, and a smaller part not caring and just doing what they want, maybe seeking a small balance between the two. Everything is so extreme lately, it's not really what I'm enjoying. I do notice that when I upload videos, I get a lot of comments on MSN and mails that I should just or stick to heavy pens, or stick with pens like Cy-spinn mods and MX, and ditch the other one, instead of letting me do what I love most, exploring everything. It makes me rather sad to see that I'm losing fans just because I want to be able to do everything instead of just sticking with one thing.

    ---

    do you own clogs?
    Nope, I don't. I wore them once, and it was horrible.

    do you grow tulips in your yard?

    Nope, especially not now it's winter. >_>

    do you live in a windmill?

    Nope, and people don't usually live in them.

    are you angry that i have a certain stereotype of dutch people?
    Eh, no... Kinda disappointed, though.

    can you kurb stop with clogs on?

    Wait, what? What are you talking about? >_>

    do you think that would be more or less effective than say... steel capped boots?

    See previous answer. >.>

    did the dutch invent their language while on pot? or are you just speaking english while on pot? because i know that twelve is twaalf (i have a friend that speaks dutch)
    Dutch, English, German and French are all related in some way, they're just languages sprouted from different communities.

    should i move away from broad generalisations of dutch people?
    Yeah, you might want to do that. I might actually give some longer answers that way. >_<

    cont bust record? cont fl ta record?
    26, 104.

    if you make pen spinning tuts, do you think that you will get more views than eso?

    I really don't think so. He already has more subscribers than me, and is able to explain things a lot better than I would. I have a different way of seeing and explaining tricks than him, and I know he's very effective already. No need in trying to be a concurrent. Hell, I even advertise him.

    can you spontaneously combust?

    I'm not enough for it. wub.gif

    do you have any super powers?
    I probably have a certain sense of enhanced reaction ability, but that's not really a super power. XD

    do you want any? if so, which ones, if not, why not?
    Hm... I'm thinking about three super powers, mind reading, enhanced photographic memory and control of time and space. >.> It's really standard, but I'm just interested. Mind reading mostly because it would help me a little with my autism, finding out that someone is bored of me or not. =P

    ---

    What's your favorite mini combo?
    Sonic 34-23 ~> Inverse Sonic 24-12 ~> IndexAround Reverse 14-23 -> Sonic 23-12 ~> Pass 13-34 -> RingAround Reverse 34-34 -> Sonic 34-23 ~> Inverse Sonic 24-12 ~> IndexAround 14-12.

    Have you had any lucid dreams? If so, what did you do?
    Not that I can remember, so I probably haven't. =(

    ---

    Are you just being incredibly modest are do you honestly think your not good enough?

    I honestly believe I can't keep up with the top anymore. People are getting so good at difficulty lately, and that seems to be the main important thing in penspinning lately. I mean, what can I do at the moment that other spinners can't?

    ---

    Your view on me/Am I ennoying sometimes? D:

    Pound, I really enjoy talking to you. You really shouldn't be so negative on yourself. You're a really nice guy, and I don't think you're annoying at all. When there are 45 people talking to me on MSN, I really don't mind having you along as well. =)

    Ever had a complain that you're arrogant?/Your own view on yourself?

    I'm getting a lot of complaints from penspinners saying I'm way too arrogant at times, especially on my video against Bonkura or anything that I defend myself with, like when people say I'm repetitive and have no style. In real life, I get a lot of complaints about me being way too negative about myself, and that I have nothing to complain about.

    Do you love kids/babies?

    I do enjoy seeing them, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be a really good parent due to my autism. Especially the first few years would be really hard for me.

    Your view on ComPirat right now if you have to spin it again. (The normal one)

    Eeeh, I guess it would be spinnable, but on the other hand, it might be way too long for my comfort right now, and I'm not sure whether it would fit my style anymore.

    Sometimes, I even had a feeling that you do know everything and rarely failed? Have you ever had a feeling like that/How can you do that?
    Hahahaha, no way. I really don't believe that. I'm not omnipotent or anything, I make a lot of mistakes myself, and I'm not that knowledgable about anything. So I'm really not sure how you're thinking that. ._.

    How is your feeling when you failed at something?
    I'm usually just disappointed at myself for not trying hard enough, and just move on with life after a while. Or try again.

    What tricks do you love to do the most?

    Eeeeh, I really like a lot of tricks, but my favourites would be Fl. TAs, Shadows and BackArounds. Infinities when I'm in the right mood as well.

    What tricks did you invent? (besides BakFall 1.5, IndexPinkyBackAround Reverse 2.0)

    I actually believe those are the only tricks I really invented. I do have invented some variation to tricks, but mostly just rare mini-combos and things like that.

    Have you ever thought to learn more language? What is it/are they?

    I'm really interested in learning Japanese or something like that, but I don't think I'd have the patience to actually learn it right now. >_> Or the time... Sheesh, I have no willpower.

    Have you ever accidentally screamed like a girl?
    Not on accident, on purpose, yes. =P

    What pen mods would you like to have?
    A black Dr. KT, for starters. That would be pretty cool, I think. Maybe a SEVEN mod or something like that. But aside from that, I'm happy with what I have.

    How long is your penis? (Optional question)
    Never measured it, to be frank. And I'm not interested in finding out. =P
    Long enough?

    ---

    What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
    Put him in the bed with the captain's daughter?

    ---

    How long did you take to answer those questions?
    By now, around 2 hours in total, I think. Mostly because I'm distracted by other things really easily, and have to think about what I was typing in the first place. Watching a LoZ:OoT TAS isn't helpful either.

    190cm? That's tall!
    Really? Lots of people taller than me in the world. D:

    Which spinners would you like to meet in real life?
    Pfft... Counting people I haven't met yet: Zombo, Kam, Wuschelkopp, GSkyrunner, Xero, cXi, JC, Huroni, Eso, LotusWing, Toast, Mike, Elden, Sankaku, Baaron, and a lot more people than I already listed here... All the mods, basically, and bleh. So many. XD

    How often do you practice ps a day?
    Around 15 minutes a day, lately.

    What was the longest time you've practiced in a day?
    Probably six hours, when I was spinning for around 6 months.

    Which is your favourite weather?
    Rain when it's not too cold and there's not too much wind.

    ---

    Why didn't you found Netherland Pen Spinning Board?

    Because there aren't nearly enough Dutch spinners to be able to have an active community, and I don't believe it would grow enough to be a standalone community in any way. UPSB would be just as good, if not a lot better. Most Dutch people are capable of talking English well anyway.

    ---

    where would you like to go on a trip to? outside Holland, that is.
    The USA, or the UK. Those two countries are my biggest plans for the near future, and Germany on a regular basis as well, of course. smile.gif

    name a few of your favorite bands, and a most loved song by each. (if possible)
    Band first, then songs.
    Ayreon - Across the Rainbow Bridge/Day 11: Love.
    Stream of Passion - A Part of You/Far And Apart
    Star One - Starchild/Hawkwind Medley
    Fish - Openwater/What Colour is God/Brother 52
    OSTER project - PianoxForte
    ASK - Delta Beat
    S.S.H. - The Decisive Battle/Going on Spring Wind [Piano Version]
    The Ramones - Pet Cematary.
    DJ Sharpnel - World Sound
    Dream Theater - Panic Attack/The Dream of Eternity
    Liquid Tension Experiment - Acid Rain
    Symphony X - Out of the Ashes

    Those are... most of them, I believe. Just those that pop out of my head at the moment. XD

    Do you like to eat, or is eating a meaningless thing for you?
    I love eating.. On a moderate basis. I mean, I enjoy food a lot, but it's not as if I live to eat. But if I get food in front of me, I do enjoy eating it. =)

    rainy day or sunny day?
    Rainy days are just as good as sunny days, but it depends on what I was planning to do that day.

    have you decided on who will be after you? (if you do, don't tell =P just asking if you decided)

    By now, I have decided on someone, yes. smile.gif

    Cats or dogs?

    I'm not someone who is very keen with pets, but I do prefer dogs a bit more as I've had a better experience with them in the first place. I still have scars from our cat. D:

    Which letter do you like better, E or K?
    The E. Probably because it is the first letter of my surname.

    How often do you eat duck?
    Once or twice a week, depending on whether or not I prepare it myself.

    What would you do if zuolin murdered you in 3 months?
    Commit suicide beforehand so I wouldn't have to die with the shame of a guy like him murdering me.

    Do you like long cats or short cats?
    Longcat!

    Is egg>28?
    Depending on how you notate it, egg is 19 or 577. So egg<28
    Do you have ketchup?
    I have ketchup in my veins.

    Are you scared of japanese people?
    Japanese people are awesome and stare at me when I'm in university, spinning pens.

    Do offensive things offend you?
    Depending on what kind of offensive it is. I detest racism and things like that, but some people are offended by things like Meatspin or Shitting Dick Nipples. >_> I don't mind that, somehow.

    Why do you keep referring to yourself as "we"?
    Example?

    Has anyone ever been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
    Wait, what.

    Are my pointless questions bothering you yet?

    Usually once in two days, sometimes more often.

    if you could turn back time and do something different... what would it be?
    Oooh, nasty question. Probably a lot of things. The thing that would be funniest would be filming a lot more for the WT07 Finals, though. wink.gif Everything else, I might not have been the person I am now, so I'm not sure if I really want to change that.

    if you'd have to masquerade on carnival, what would it be than?

    what is your favorite color? favorite color scheme for rsvp mx?? favorite grip color for comssa??? favorite color of... ok nvm xD
    Black, but it's not really a colour. =P So I guess Blue or Green. Yellow Sunburts like Nagi has would be really nice, but I've never managed to get one like that. And I really like the standard Black Anyball grips for ComSSA.

    I'm planning to do so, yes.

    first word you hear or see. what language is it?
    Really depending on what's on TV tomorrow morning when my mother is watching it. Could be Dutch, English or German. Japanese is also possible if my laptop is still on, playing music on Winamp.

    What's Your Favorite Animal?
    I love sharks. That's... basically it. XD

    You like Birds?
    I like birds, indeed.

    What you think about the Andean Condor?
    I don't like its face, but it looks magnificent when it flies. I don't know a whole lot about them, though.

    Are you going to be on my collab On April? It is really important, lol.
    Depending on the time I have then, sure?

    Is it ok to ask these questions?
    That's what this topic is for, I guess. >_> So yeah, it's ok.

    Are you ever going to come to USA?
    I'm planning on doing so in the near future, but I'm not sure when it will be exactly, as I'm not the richest man on Earth.

    Write some phrases you hate hearing, which you find annoying
    There actually is only one I can come up with at the moment, but I'll be sure to update it when I think of more.
    "No offence, but ..." I seriously hate it when people say that, because they think it's a free ticket to saying what they want, even though people will be offended by it. It's just ridiculous. Really, I don't understand why people accept it when others say it.

    How do you understand 'freedom'?
    Pfft, tough question. True freedom doesn't exist in my mind, because there will always be diversity and conflicts. Freedom in my eyes is being able to do what you want, and being able to say what you want, but that will never be accepted because in that sense, you are allowed to hurt others no matter what. Being able to pursue your own goals but still being limited to having to think about others is a kind of freedom, but not the true freedom people actually want.

    Are you a smoke virgin?
    I've never smoked anything, and I'm not planning on doing so either. It messes people up. >_<

    any tips for practising PS tricks?
    I can see these are tough questions, as I don't really believe there's a certain way to learn tricks, aside from patience and practice. I just try. And if it doesn't work, I watch the trick again and try harder. That's just what I do.

    Any tips for practising individual tricks?
    I guess the same thing applies here.

    Any tips for practising continuous tricks?
    Continuous tricks are in one way easier, and in one way harder. The beginning is the hardest, but once you've already gotten a couple of conts down, you get the principle and learn them a lot faster. Watching others do conts helps a lot to get the hand movement and fingerposition down.

    What advice would you give to those who just started PS?
    Don't be demotivated by everyone else who is a lot better than you. It's tough at times, but the feeling when you get a trick down well is great. And that's what's most important in the end.

    What advice would you give to those who have been spinning for quite some time but felt like they've not gotten anywhere?
    For some people, getting somewhere is more important than for others. If you're losing interest a bit or feel like you need some distance, actually take some distance and try again later. Maybe just take a change of a pen or style, try some different tricks. Being too focused on one thing doesn't help either.

    what advice would you give to those who've been spinning for awhile but feel like giving up?
    I don't see why you should give up, especially if you've already been spinning for a while. In the end, it's all about penspinning being entertaining for yourself, and if it's not that anymore, there's no reason in actually spinning.

    What advice would you give to those who feel like giving up on anything, in general?
    It really depends on the situation. Some things are more important than others, so you can't tell someone in general what to do when they feel like giving up. I mean, if it's for school or something, it's a lot different than when it's a hobby or sport.

    What motivates you to continue spinning?
    Lately, not a whole lot. I mainly spin for myself, and doing what I want. Spinning for others isn't as useful anymore, I've noticed. They never seem to be content with what I'm producing and always want something more, or something different. I've tried it for a while, but there's just no more fun in it for me that way. Especially the communities are kinda making it worse for me, seeing as there are two major parts in the penspinning world now. Power tricks and pure style, and I don't feel like I fit in any of the two. Lately, when I made a video, I got mainly these comments in e-mails, even though I had a couple of power tricks in it:
    "Needs a lot more power tricks, it's way too easy and boring."
    "Dude, get some style, your videos are so boring and plain. Way too many hard tricks in it as well."
    So no, it's not that fun for me anymore, and I'm not motivated anymore either.

    What's a cool fact about yourself that you've yet to mention?
    There's not a whole lot I haven't told yet, and I really can't think of anything cool to mention. There's not a lot cool about me in the first place. >_> Especially not the fact that I'm easily intimidated by people who I feel are of a higher rank than me, and easily have the feeling they don't like me. [like Zombo] Even though that's completely injustified.

    What's your study style?
    Pay attention in class, make notes, read notes, and wala, you is you.

    Any tips on people wanting to take up mathematics when they further their studies?
    It's a lot different from the mathematics you're probably used to, and it's a lot tougher as well. Make sure mathematics is really what you want to do, as it's a lot of work.

    Asian culture or Western culture?
    I'm biased to Western, as I really don't know anything about the Asian culture in the first place. I'm sure it's a lot different and it would take me a lot of time to get used to it.

    If you could go to Asia, where would you go?
    I really don't know to be honest, there are a lot of places I would like to go to, but I don't have anything in mind specifically. Japan would be a nice choice, but I don't know what I would have to do there. And I don't know any Asian languages, so that would impede any fun I would have there as well.

    what do you feel as being undefeated in the ladder?
    Doesn't mean anything to me, as there are a handful of spinners in UPSB that could easily kick my ass.

    Any tips on developing combos?
    Not quite, it just has to come. Don't just link mini-combos you like together, they have to flow smoothly. Don't do too many direction changes if you don't have the skills to make them look good, and don't make a 30-second-long combo if you don't have the tricks to fill them up without looking repetitive.

    Any tips on people wanting to spin just like you? Or would you encourage them not to?
    Eh.. I suggest people to do what they want, but I don't have any tips for them. I don't exactly know what I've done to become the spinner I am today, as I've gone through so many style changes. The current style I have now is probably very easy to copy as there are nearly no hybrids in my combos and it looks very plaid. So just learn the tricks I do, and learn to link them smoothly.

    What's your take on laziness?
    I'm lazy.

    Procrastination?
    I'm a procrastinator.

    How many abs do you have?
    None.

    ---

    Could you survive in East Los Angeles?
    Probably not, especially not on my own. I'm a wuss and not independant at all.

    When are we gonna hangout?
    When I have the time and money?

    Crash or Zombo?
    Zombo, as we talk a lot more.

    18th street or Nortenõs?
    Wouldn't be able to choose, I know neither.

    Oral or Anal?
    Talking is a lot better than inflicting pain.

    Depression or Anger?
    I'm a lot more familiar with depression but anger probably lasts shorter and is easier to get rid of.

    Sex or Cuddling?
    Cuddling is a lot more accessable and more appropiate on a lot more occasions. It shows just as much love as well.

    ---

    what language do you dream in?
    Usually Dutch or English, depending on how much I communicate in each language that day.


    if UPSB broke down forever and you could relearn any language perfectly in 1 second which psning board
    would you join for the rest of ur life?

    German, so I could be a part of GPC and live in Germany with a lot less problems.

    who would you rather rematch toro or supawit? why?
    Toro, as that was a lot more of a bullshit loss than Supawit was and the situation was a lot more different, even though both were unfortunate. I wouldn't be able to win of either, though.

    do you like fullmetal alchemist? i sure do.
    I'm sorry, I never watched it.

    favourite webcomic? (if you read any)

    have you read "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time"? thoughts?

    zombie apocalypse, there's a helicopter space shuttle that can take you to a clean location, but you are only allowed to bring one suitcase with 3 things in it. what would you bring? (suitcase is a reasonable size, and given that you reach this location, you will be able to live normally until you die a natural death)

    butterflies or ponies?

    DOes your austism get in the way of your spinning. I have a austistic friend (who has asbergers) and he gets really frustrated and sad when he messes up on somthing. I'm wondering if this has affected your spinning? beacause in PS you obviously fail a lot

    Phoenix Requiem and Inverloch.

    have you read "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time"? thoughts?
    A pretty decently written book, but I always have the feeling people who read it have a fixed thought about autism and Asperger's Syndrome, and that's the part I don't like. Everyone with AS is different, and we sure don't all have the symptoms he has. Wasn't there something about... fear for yellow? I'm not sure. I don't think it's written very realistically.

    A book, my PSP and a couple of pens?

    Butterflies.

    Given that I can't really multitask or concentrate at two different things at the same time, desync 2p2h is nearly impossible for me. I don't get frustrated when I drop, but that's probably the only thing that impedes my penspinning abilities. And maybe the different way of thinking that might cause for lack of creativity. =/ I just see different variations to existing things, and not completely new ideas.
