There's something I've always meant to ask you; is your username based off of the cartoon CatDog?
|
Honestly, I don't remember. I've had this username for nearly 10 years now, and it was based off an old e-mail address that I had before people felt comfortable using their real names anywhere online. (Seriously, most of my friends at school had much weirder e-mail addresses than
[email protected] but they're suitably ashamed of them.) But, in terms of its origins, it probably was based off the show, but I can't remember for sure. I can barely remember what I had for breakfast most days, so going back 10+ years into the recesses of my memory was always going to be a stretch. Sorry.

How was that McDonalds you had on January 1, 2012????

I liked the show well enough to remember its theme tune to steal parts of it for the title of this thread. It wasn't a
Dexter's Lab or anything, but I probably watched it whenever it came on TV. And before anyone asks, I'm more of a Cat than a Dog. Definitely.
And the McDonalds was probably fine. It's McDonalds, so it's not as if there's much variation. (Apart from in Japan where OMG that McDonalds was delicious, but everything in Japan is delicious.) For the most part, the best McD isn't too far off from the worst in terms of quality.

What's the best moment you remember having while watching a reward show?
What's your favorite thing about being a super moderator? What's your least?

Wow, lots of questions. Here goes.
Why not CatDog? I guess I've answered it above, but I honestly have no idea. No intention of getting rid of it any time soon, though. A better question is why Alexial357!?
I've loved award shows for longer than I've been on PC, but I only started watching them about 4-5 years ago. So as much as I'd like to say Ingrid Bergman going "The winner is... IT'S A TIE!" at the 1968 Oscars for giving Best Actress to Barbra Streisand and Katharine Hepburn (especially for how she misquotes "The Lion in Winter" as "Lion in the Winter"), given that I watched it on YouTube two months ago, it feels a bit disingenuous to do so. My favourite moments are probably Asghar Farhadi winning Best Foreign Language Film for
A Separation because its one of my favourite films of all time and totally deserved it, and Meryl Streep winning Best Actress for
The Iron Lady, because while it didn't deserve to win, it was a surprise (as much as Meryl Streep winning awards can be considered a surprise, Viola Davis was seen as the favourite that year) and she gave one of the best speeches I've heard, completely off the cuff and totes amazeballs.
Favourite thing about being an S-Mod is modding members. Easily #1. It's great knowing that I have a direct hand in selecting who the leaders and (hopefully) role models are to be for one if the biggest forums on the 'net. Least favourite is the fact that a bold/orange name instantly makes me more intimidating in the eyes of many people. I don't think I've changed all that much in my time here, but the level of interaction I have with the members has dropped like a stone since my promotion nearly a year ago, which does concern me.

Out of all the various characters you've used in your avatar, which is your fave?

My favourite avatars are always the animated ones. If I can find a 150x150 animated gif of the character, that's just brilliant. Having said that, that I can't remember any animated gifs that I've used probably says a lot about how much these avatars stay with me afterwards! Off the top of my head, my favourite characters that I've been are Homer Simpson (the very first), Louise Belcher, Ice King and Bugs Bunny. All for entirely different reasons.

I know I'm no Ryan Gosling, but I don't think I'm ugly, by any stretch of the imagination. It also helps that I've got great self-esteem, so I'm very secure in who I am. I wouldn't know what to say if you asked me to rate my 'hotness' from 1 - 10, but I don't think I'm too bad.

It made sense, but please see the answer above to Hikari. :D

Because that's a lyric to the theme song for

I understand you were a SMod ages ago and then left? What made you want to return? How'd you manipulate the hstaff into remodding you?

I came back because my room-mate at university was going to buy either of Black or White and wanted me to buy one so he could trade. I subsequently bought Black and thought "hey, why not see what PC has gotten up to?" Beforehand, I'd passed through one time around HGSS release time but didn't post at all. This time, however, I had to clear out my PM inbox (which was stuffed full of reports; a sign of how old I am), and by the time I'd finished, I had VMs from Lightning (who I knew from my last stint) and Went (who was just being a stalker). Though I hadn't planned on staying, I got chatting to people and one thing led to another and here I am!
And I "manipulated" the staff by being a really good poster in a section that I had a great deal of interest in which didn't happen to have a mod in. That's all there is to it; no great conspiracy to it, honestly. Though I do have photos of most of the h-staff, come to think of it...
Phew. That was a fun way to kill 45 minutes while queuing for theatre tickets! :D
