Adele. I don't know the other two

Yes. It's an awful show. I've just finished West Wing, almost finished Commander in Chief and about to see what Community is all about

no mary

Yes. They dance because I dance.

So, I randomly decided to uproot myself from Edmonton, AB after my first year in university to attend what I thought had a really great political science program at Simon Fraser University. I was misled and after a year I went through drastic changes in my life. Broke up with my boyfriend and lost a giant circle of friends. I decided to attend UBC for a) a change and b) I was told by many other people that political science at UBC is where it's at.

So, immediately after transferring to UBC, I wanted to fill the void left from the previous year, take part in school spirit and shape my experience at the last university I would attend.

I never was involved at any of my previous schools, and, as I was becoming more comfortable with my sexuality, and who I was, I decided to get involved with Pride UBC - a queer support resource group on campus. I wanted to take part and build the community I never had and to help and support other students on campus.

From there, as my circle of friendship grew, I was told, encouraged and pushed by many to become further involved at UBC. I ran unsuccessfully for VP Admin of the AMS in my second year, but months later, successfully ran for an Arts rep to the AMS, becoming a member of the Board of Directors in the AMS.

I've always had a passion for community service and community development. For the past (ALMOST) ten years, I have volunteered for social justice groups, environmental organizations, community groups and queer rights organizations. I felt that UBC was a place to cultivate, help grow, and take part in a community. It was a natural step for me.

I dislike the term "student government" because we are not - nor is the AMS - a government. It is a non-profit society that has a Board of Directors that operates under the BC Society Act. We don't govern and don't operate as a government. We are a non-profit business. And we are the largest one in BC.

In third grade, I called a girl a bitch because I thought her last name was Witch and I started off rhyming words with it to taunt her. Little did I know that 'bitch' was a bad word. She cried. I had my mouth washed out with soap later that evening.

That's all that really sticks out in my mind. I always have nice things to say.

I will preface this question by saying that I've never really put much thought into, so the answers are all off the cuff

1) Anita Cocktail (ok, it needs work!)

2) Think of Madea and Lady Macbeth, but more Madea. Then, add some Madame Bovary. I'd be a bad ass bitch.

3) Platform? I'm not really sure. Let's pretend to ask what I'd wear, ok: I'd have big, but beautiful hair. Red lipstick. Pearl necklace. Tight, red dress. Hot, but nothing too promiscuous. Black leather boots that would go up to my knees. Or a pair of black stilettos - the biggest heel you could find.

Either that, or a princess. In a really stereotypical princess dress, jewels, etc.

4) I'm more passionate about social justice and environmental issues and organizations, but I can't really say that I'd like to perform in drag for Greenpeace (not that I support Greenpeace............), but something queer related. Hmm. I'd like to fund an organization that helps queer youth in coming out to their parents and support in schools for youth facing discrimination. I would like to support an organization that provides support to queer seniors. Basically, any organization that helps the most marginalized queer people, that have the least amount of community and social support.

I'm not sure what this question is asking and I couldn't really pull up an answer on Google. Clarify?

LOL I'm flattered really. What's even more daring (and flattering) which earns brownies points is if you reveal your secret identity. Oh blushing.

Almost two years and loving every minute of it.

This anon knows me so you should feel comfortable asking sans anon =) plus it's so much more exciting when I know who you are! =)

Bah. Damn anon questions. I can't really think of any "types" of fathers off the top of my head. And I'm sure the answer that I'm about to give is very stereotypical and one to which most would-be fathers aspire. Regardless, I haven't quite decided if children are in my future (one of the pros of being gay -- it's not automatically 'on the table') but here goes.

One that inspires his children to be the very best they can be and give them the tools to reach their full potentials and to fulfil their endeavours whatever they choose. I'd like to be approachable and have a degree of trust between myself and my children. One they feel free to approach and ask my advice on the trials and tribulations of early adulthood: boy problems, girl problems, friend problems, future career and education problems.

I'd be a dad that likes spending time with his children and his children that likes spending time with him. Very happy and family oriented.

I guess?

Southern White Faced Owl from South Africa. They're pretty cool, transforming their bodies and stuff. I really like owls though, they're so neat to look at.

It depends on the terms of the takeover. How we plan to do it, for what purposes and what will the state of the world be after we take it over, yanno? I'd like to be a benevolent dictator -- but not one that would have to watch his back every night waiting to be shivved. I'll need some more details, anon. Then we'll talk.

Supposing I haven't committed any egregious crimes and that perhaps the reason of my exile is the cause of the fallibility of some judiciary body that, through some sort of corruption in the system, I can't exonerate myself, I'd like to bring:

1. My partner: provided I have one/mine hadn't left due to the reasons for my exile and that he would like to go with me

2. Laptop (assuming I'd have internet access) that would be able to teach me everything I need to know about the French Polynesia, how to fish, what to buy to survive and where I should explore. I could keep people updated (assuming people would be interested in my whereabouts on twitter, tumblr and facebook) and I would also hone my writing skillz.

3. Money that I have so that I'll be able to survive (more or less) and buy food and buy clothing so that I'm not homeless in the French Polynesia. I think I'd like buy paint supplies so I could paint on the beach all day

I'm not really tied to my material possessions so there isn't really anything that I'd be dying to have. I'd be able to make do with those items (and person) that I bring and I'd probably be quite satisfied. Though, I could be romanticizing the whole ordeal and in reality I might hate it. GREAT question!

Hmm. Two years ago I would have answered: dinner at an undiscovered restaurant, or a homemade meal prepared ensemble, with wine and candles. Followed by a walk downtown (along the beach, in a forest), hand-in-hand discussing the trials and tribulations of life. We'd discuss current events, politics, our dreams and how we can change the world. I'm really just a cliche romantic, okay? deal with it.

But now I've found my boo and every day is the ultimate date and I can't ask for anything more!
