Hotseat 13: Dion

[Barbara 15,149]

you should become Dion's PA, you practically know everything?

Okay, I accept the challenge and the job.

Do I have special benefits with my employer?

Hahaha this HS has been hilariously derailed... Mission complete. I might not have derailed it personally myself but I was pretty much behind the scenes of it all, the instigator (think illuminati ). So here are a few questions for you pal.

1. Why is your taste in women almost exactly the same as mine? Because I fit the description, of course

2. Would you ever host me if I visited Brazil? Yes, why not.

3. Favourite forum members? Choulo, Stingray, you, etc..

4. All this threesome talk... Have you ever even had a threesome? No, but there's always tomorrow

5. Favourite music genre? Rock in general, all styles

6. What will you specialise in after you attain your Law degree? Diplomacy

7. Favourite Brazilian club? Sao Paulo

8. Are you straight Brazilian or do you have other mixed heritages? Don't think so for a generation or two, earlier than that basically all Brazilians have.

9. What does this picture mean to you?

(20 marks)

10. Do you like travelling A lot, but he wishes he had more time to do it

11. If so, what are the best countries you've visited?

12. Why do you always dip in and out of the forum? For a few weeks you post like mad, and then you're gone. Because he gets busy, but also because sometimes he's more in the mood than others. But even when he doesn't post, he mostly reads everything

13. Role models/heros? (It's alright if you want to include me )

14. Choulo or Jason? Choulo

15. Do you hate me for forcing this hot seat on you? No, it's been cool and he's having fun

16. Are you happy with what you've achieved in life so far? Sort of, he's still young and he feels like he could have done a few things better or maybe chose some things differently, but at the same time he's happy with what he's done once he made those choices.

17. Are you still learning about who you are? If yes, do you feel like you're going in the right direction? If no, are you happy with yourself? He probably thinks self knowledge is a long life journey/process, but he feels like he's mostly going in the right direction and he's happy with himself

18. Views on spirituality? Do you have a personal relationship with God? He's agnostic

19. What are your views on the Brazilian government? Are they doing a good job? Are they moving in the right direction? As any other Brazilian, he's not happy about. They aren't doing a good job and whereas in a few things it's moving to the right direction, the corruption will always prevent it to go to the right direction. A few changes are definitely necessary.

20. What to you is the meaning of life?

I'll come back with some more questions later if you permit it.

BUT you can't read my answers before his, otherwise I'm spoiling HIS experience. I'm just a show-off

[The Skipper 20,609]

Okay, I accept the challenge and the job.

Do I have special benefits with my employer?

Haha wow, that truly is incredible Barbs

[Spike 12,049]

I dedicate this to you:

[Dion 2,476]

Dobby was super sad. All the deaths were Lupin, Tonks, Fred, Sirius. But the way Dobby gave his life to Harry cause he gave him a SOCK is just. Ahh, my eyelids are tingling. I love the 5th and 7th. Those are my favorites, I love the battles, they were just great. You're right about Sirius, he was my favorite character at the time and the way he died was weird. I was like "What? Wait, what happened?" I had to re read it to make sure.

What house would you say you would be most likely to be sorted in?

Pretty damn sure I'd be Ravenclaw. I'm definitely not ambitious enough to be Slytherin or Gryffindor. And I also don't think I'm loving and caring enough to be Hufflepuff. What would you be sorted in?

1)Matrix trilogy or Lord of the Rings?

2)Why you haven't been reading much more than academic books? I know you've been studying a lot, first for OAB, then now to prepare to the admission exams you'll take in the future, but that's no excuse

3)I'm going to a karaoke ten days from now, you want to drop in Campinas?

4) The lamest movie you've ever watched?

5) Blonds, redheads or brunettes?

6) Blue, green, hazel or brown eyes?

7) Other than the face, the ass and the boobs - as it seems your order of priority, what else you appreciate in a woman's body.

8)Would you date a girl with spectacular personality but not attractive overall (even if you could find a couple of things attractive about her)?

9) What's the real weight intelligence has in a woman for you? Would you let go of a beautiful, sweet woman just because she wasn't that bright?

10) Adidas or Nike?

11) French kiss or eskimo kiss?

12) A good hug or a good kiss?

13) Sunsets or sunrises?

14) Moon - full or new?

15) How much do you believe astrology influences one's personality?

16) Something you did that you felt stupid for doing it?

17) Favorite thing to watch on TV (doesn't need to be a show)?

18) Movies: out or at home in good company and with a bottle of wine?

19) Team you dislike the most in England?

and thanks to @CHOULO19 for turning this into a HS again, as I'm positive it was my cutie who fixed what's partially my mess. I appreciate, love.

1) Damn, I love both. Lord of the Rings benefits from Tolkien's unparalleled skill of world building. On the other hand Matrix evokes some of my favourite philosophical questions. The first Matrix movie surpasses every individual movie of LotR, I feel. But as a trilogy the latter takes the cake.

2) I got lazy I guess. You should suggest me a book then.

3) I would if I could, I need to make preparations for my graduation though, I must go straight to João Pessoa. Maybe if you lived in Brasília we could, as it is the middle of the way and I would actually have a place to stay. And then we'd invite Henrique to sing controversial songs

4) From the top of my head, Skyline. I can't believe I didn't actually ask for a refund. The movie was that bad. I can't even begin to tell you how poor it is, it should be a testament to every director on how you shouldn't ever produce a movie. I brought you a review from IMDB:

"This is easily the worst movie I've seen this year. It's saying something when the writing is so bad that even an end-of-the-world alien invasion can't stop boring you senseless.

The characters are passive participants to the events around them. Sure they scream on cue, but their lives and struggles are devoid of feeling and emotions. The film lacks the frantic pace of the somewhat similar Cloverfield where the characters and their environment felt desperate and chaotic. Instead we get destruction without fear and survival without passion.

I'm a big sci-fi fan, but I honestly can't remember the last time I was this bored in the theater despite a few moments of great special effects. Avoid this movie at all costs."

5) Light brown hair.

6) Green or hazel.

7) Small and feminine hands. Long legs.

8) I can't tell from the description. I must find her attractive. Even if nobody else does.

9) If she was below average intelligence, yes. Stupidity annoys me like no other. If she was very beautiful I could probably put the break on hold for a little while though. In this time I've been here visiting my mom, there's a friend of hers that comes to visit us from time to time and holy shit, she's so stupid I can barely stay in the same room. As if it weren't enough to spout nonsense she can't seem to shut up. Giving it a second thought, if this hypothetical girl was that level of annoying I wouldn't even have to let her go, I'd probably not even talk to her in the first place.

10) Adidas! And I don't say that only because they sponsor us, I've always liked Adidas better.

11) French kiss. But in the right timing eskimo kisses can be surprisingly good.

12) A good passionate kiss.

13) Sunrises. Sunsets are kinda sad, sunrises are invigorating.

14) Big full moon, always.

15) Not much if any, but it is interesting to read about it nevertheless, the stuff humanity can come up with...

16) The way I almost broke my nose, have I told you this story?

17) I don't watch much TV anymore but South Park

18) For the solely purpose of watching and enjoying the movie, at the cinema. Sometimes I'll even go alone so I don't have my friends talking to me and breaking my concentration or the urge to kiss clouding my mind. For everything else, at home.

19) Manchester United. The cunts.

[Myself 793]

y u skip my questions!!!!!!?!!? >!!!.!

[Dion 2,476]

1. Yeah, I assumed that's why so many Brazilians are attack minded (in football, don't get me wrong ) and have quite a bit of flair

2. We really are alike. We totally should have sex.

4. Yes, the best game I've ever played. Hands down.

MAKE ME A SANDWICH WOMAN

Some more questions, Dion..

1. Tomato or to-mah-toe?

2. would you rather be a GK or a striker?

3. 5 best players in the world, in each position (gk, defence, midfield, strikers). gogo

4. if jose was sacked, what manager would you choose to replace him?

1 - Tomato.

2 - Striker, I'm short for a GK and I also praise my health a bit too much, I don't like being hit by the ball on my face and it seems to happen a lot whenever I play GK. At the same time my finishing is not all that good, but I could probably play second striker well.

3 - GK: Neuer, Buffon, Courtois, Cech and Stekelenburg.

Defense: Thiago Silva, Kompany, Terry, Subotic and Ramos.

Midfield: Pirlo, Schweinsteiger, Iniesta, Fabregas and Yaya Touré.

Attack: Ronaldo, Messi, Suarez, Robben and Ibra.

4 - Klopp. Definitely Klopp.

[Dion 2,476]

y u skip my questions!!!!!!?!!? > !!!.!

But I didn't! Those questions came before yours.

I didn't respond to the let's have sex because Choulo will have it moved to the pub again, HAHAHAHA. And complementing the futsal, offensive football thing, there's also street football to enhance our ball control skills

[Jusek 2,031]

What is your reaction and how will you celebrate when Torres leaves Chelsea permanently?

20. What to you is the meaning of life?

I'll come back with some more questions later if you permit it.

1. Because great minds think alike

2. Of course I would! And I'm totally serious.

3. You, Barbara, Stingray, Spike Spiegel, Rmpr, Choulo, Alex, Jason, Fullham Broadway, Special Juan, Jype, Liquidator, Mohammed Seif, Iseah100, Daniel1980, Viper22, Peace., SeB, Blueschick, James, Tomo, Djames, zolayes, Madmax, DYC., Hutcho, Robguima, Strike, Korea Beepu, The Mak, Pizy, Blue-in-me-veins, Sidzeret, hjperdeath, We Hate Scouse, Myself... a lot of people, really. I don't like doing this because, as Barbara says, my memory sucks and I always forget someone I shouldn't. The only member I really dislike is lionsden, I feel he's just mean spirited and tries to rile up people all the time. I had to put him on ignore because I usually read the comment before looking who said it. I still end up reading everything but it allows me to adjust my mentality to just laugh it off beforehand.

4. Not yet. Jokes aside, I imagine it must be awesome but equally hard with two women at the same time.

5. Rock! I've answered this before. My favourite band is The Killers. I don't deviate from mainstream too much. I listen to a lot of pop too. This is not very accurate because I listen to many things that aren't scrobbled there but: http://www.lastfm.com.br/user/dionsa

6. Diplomacy and International Law.

7. São Paulo FC.

8. I'm straight Brazilian. Most of my heritage comes from Portugal. My grandparents have told me there is some French and Dutch from their great grand parents or something, not sure, I never dug too much into it. But mostly portuguese really, with a little bit of african/black as most old brazilian families have.

9. The God of thread derailment himself. And one who like fucking pussies at that.

10. Yes, love it.

11. I haven't left South America. I've only been to Argentina, Peru and Bolivia. All of them are awesome in their own rights. Personally I loved visiting the ruins of Machu Picchu, Peru. I hope I can see everything there is to see in the world before I die. But I've traveled a lot around Brazil and this country is almost as big as a continent.

12. Usually time constraints. When I have too many things on my mind I end up neglecting the forum. But there was a time I was avoiding coming here because all people did was arguing with one another and measuring their e-penis. Sometimes if I read too many stupid comments it also puts me off. But that was mainly last year, things are looking better now.

13. In many things my dad. My dad is awesome, definitely one of the most intelligent people I've ever seen. If only I was half as knowledgeable as he is... I just don't take him as role model in social skills, he lacks in that department even more than I do, haha. Other than my old man I don't think I have any, maybe you could mentor me in social skills, everyone wants to be your friend

14. I love Jason, but Choulo19 is one of the Pub guys. Him.

15. Yes, don't ever talk to me again.

16. Absolutely not. I haven't achieved anything really.

17. This is a good question. Yes, I think all of us are learning more about ourselves every day and my general goal is to always improve as person, every day. No, I'm still not happy, I've still got plenty of room for improvement. Just the other day I felt bad, and am still feeling bad about it, because I was in a bad mood and told someone to fuck off in one of the match threads, I don't remember who it was, just because he called me a hater and brought some incorrect stat. It doesn't matter if I felt it was justified at the time because he was objectively wrong and labeling me, I shouldn't have done it, it wasn't right or polite. And I also should have apologized but I didn't because I still struggle admitting my mistakes, especially if I'm annoyed. I'm also too stubborn at times. Furthermore, I shouldn't have got angry and sarcastic at @didierforever the other day either. He's entitled to his opinion and I should respect it, and not mock him in a passive-agressive way, even if I think he's undeniably mistaken. Long story short, I can find things I could and should have done better every day and that's good, if I couldn't improve myself anymore this would be a hell of a boring life. If any of those two read this, consider it as my apology, I'm sorry. In general I think I'm doing good, I could be worse I suppose. I'm closer to being happy with who I am than unhappy.

18. I'm kind of an agnostic-atheist. I don't think we have the means to assess whether God does or does not exist by scientific or empirical methods, but if I had to take a hunch, I'd say he doesn't exist. I also find the discussion of whether he exists or not meaningless, supposing he existed and I admitted it, that still doesn't make me accept the Bible or any holy scripture as his words, so I wouldn't know what he expects from me. And I wouldn't know until the moment he contacts me directly, but if he ever did contact me, it would both prove me he exists and also give me insight to what he wants, so I don't find it productive to be thinking about his existence if the answer to that doesn't change anything.

19. I think they're a bunch of corrupt wankers really. And I don't think we can change it unless we as a people, as a nation, change our mentalities and until we change the way we run our elections. The way we hold elections right now is akin to how a popularity contest is ran, I kid you not. Too much personal propaganda too little proposals or political stance. What I'd like to see is less pictures of the candidates being spread and more of what they plan to do and how they're going to do it. Not only empty words like "improve education", "improve healthcare". I want to know exactly what you plan to do and how you are going to achieve it. I don't wanna see your white pretty teeth everywhere, I wanna know whether you are pro or against abortion, homossexual rights, euthanasia, stem cell research etc. Ideally I wouldn't even want to see your face at all, all I wanna know is what you and your political party plan to do and what are your political and ideological beliefs. And our people should strive to lessen the "jeitinho brasileiro" (the brazilian way). Because that's the type of thing that brings corruption, the culture of trying to get benefits by any means. It could start by people respecting queue order at banks, restaurants, cinemas... by giving back the excess of change you receive when you buy something. They complain about corruption in politics but they do the same in smaller degrees every day. And I don't doubt they would do the same or worse if they were in power. It would be bad enough to do it, but to take pride on it? That's another level of wrong.

20. To me is trying to be the best person you can be, is to try making yours and everyone's lives better and happier.

[Dion 2,476]

What is your reaction and how will you celebrate when Torres leaves Chelsea permanently?

I'll probably throw a party, considering I'm this excited with only the prospect of him leaving. It will probably feel like getting better from a disease. You know that feeling when one day you wake up and your nose is finally not constricted and your body doesn't hurt anymore? It's probably going to feel about the same.

[iseah100 5,612]

Pretty damn sure I'd be Ravenclaw. I'm definitely not ambitious enough to be Slytherin or Gryffindor. And I also don't think I'm loving and caring enough to be Hufflepuff. What would you be sorted in?.

So you're smart?

Not sure I fit in any. I'm not cunning or willing to do anything at all costs for Slytherin. Not smart enough for Ravenclaw. Not caring enough for Hufflepuff. Gryffindor? Or none.

[Dion 2,476]

So you're smart?

Not sure I fit in any. I'm not cunning or willing to do anything at all costs for Slytherin. Not smart enough for Ravenclaw. Not caring enough for Hufflepuff. Gryffindor? Or none.

Ravenclaw is not only about being smart. It's about being curious and having desire for knowledge, they just end up being smart as a result of this mentality. But I like to think I'm a bit smart too.

[Barbara 15,149]

4. (...) I imagine it must be awesome but equally hard (...)

15. Yes, don't ever talk to me again.

16. Absolutely not. I haven't achieved anything really.

4) Doesn't look hard at all. It might not work as you're wondering...

15) Liar, liar, pants on fire! You're enjoying this. I know you are

16) we had this conversation one about what you've chosen and what you haven't. We talked about the college council, about college in general and you seemed to have a couple of regrets, but also committed to do the best out of a law degree and very keen and even happy about diplomacy. Don't be so harsh on yourself, honey. You passed OAB exam, you were part of students council at college. There's only so much you can achieve as a student, unless you create Microsoft or Facebook. Don't underestimate your achievements!

17) I love you

edit: @The Skipper, I think I did really well comparing his answers to mine. Got one wrong though

[Dion 2,476]

4) Yeah, now that you've said that, I was putting all the burden of satisfying them both on myself but what probably happens in reality is that it is shared between every single one of us, making it not all that harder. And everyone is probably going to be aroused as ****.

15) I thought I had made it clear

16) All that was too easy. Now comes the hard part. And I'm not even playing humble here. I didn't even study all that much for OAB and the student council was all about having contacts, it didn't take a lot intellectual effort. Yeah, they're not bad achievements but I think I just kinda take them for granted since they didn't require a lot of sacrifice on my behalf. I could even add being accepted by UFPB as an achievement, since joining our federal universities in courses like Law, Engineering and Medical School is a tough task. And I joined as 1st place

did you just roll your eyes on me? :cry: :cry:

and I understand your feelings about not feeling challenged yet. It's just you're so smart, so capable, so amazing and so cool that it feels you haven't worked hard for anything yet. It's easier for people like you to achieve things. I don't know your father and I can't measure how smart he is, but I'll take your word on it and I'll dare say you're as bright, insightful and knowledgeable. I'm not sucking you up at all. You're one of the smartest people I've met and I can say that1000km away from you. And you have amazing social skills. You have girls basically begging you to even look at their direction, you have tons of friends, you're Mr. Popular without even trying... also easily understandable.

Just because things are natural and easy so far, it doesn't mean they aren't achievements. If they weren't, everyone would have them. You're really, truly wonderful for all that's worth. I know bigger challenges will come, and I'm positive you'll be prepared for them too... despite the laziness

Thank you. But I'm really not. My dad is like me in the sense that he learns things easily but he works way harder than me. My dad wakes up reading books, not kidding. When I was a kid I would wake up early like in a sunday, then I would enter my parents bedroom and my dad would be awake reading a book. He's insanely intelligent, he's knowledgeable in many subjects, even more than @Stingray. I'll probably never reach his heights but I'm okay with that.
