Thank God I have a reason to get rid of that obnoxiously long meme.

And what a reason it is.

It is Brian Elwin Haner Jr.'s birthday today. He is turning twenty-seven, and I'm sure he's partying in style.

Brian is one of my greatest inspirations in all parts of my life, and I just owe a lot to him. He brought back my love for music, my love for writing, and hell, my love for drawing too. He's just amazing all-around. He's got a kickass personality and he's just one of the funniest guys ever.

Here's to you, Brian Haner, Jr., you brilliant motherfucker, you. I toast in your honor. I have like, one shot of flavored vodka and I will drink to you.

17) Are you nice or mean?
Joseph: Nice most of the time, unless you piss me off. *smirk*
Kabuki: I can be cruel.
Kaleb: For the most part, I'm indifferent. If I like you, I'm nice. If I don't, I'm normally indifferent or mean. It all depends.
Brian: I'm a fuckin' asshole. Fact of the matter.

Joseph: Um. I have no idea.
Kabuki: Who cares?
Kaleb: I tried once. It was like, forty-five seconds before I felt like I was drowning. Damn reflexes.
Brian: I can stay under pretty long. Practically living at the beach does that to you.
Anya: o-O No idea...
Angel: As long as I want!
Malfoy: Never tried myself...

21) What do you do on a regular day basis?
Joseph: *cough*him*cough* I mean, anything I want.
Kabuki: *giggle* Same.
Kaleb: Go to work, put up with my girlfriend and best friend, sleep, repeat. Not too exciting, really...
Brian: Play my guitar. Or tour, if I'm out on the road.
Anya: I do something different every day.
Angel: Agreed with her. *points to Anya*
Malfoy: The only constant is school, I suppose.

22) Do you love someone?
Joseph: Yeah. *smiles at Kabuki*
Kabuki: Him... *smiles back*
Kaleb: God, they're sickening. *looks nervous* Um, yeah, I do. *shrug*

Joseph: Yeah...
Kabuki: Uh huh.
Kaleb: Too much, I think...
Brian: Yeah, more than I love him.
Anya: Uh huh!
Brian: You're sickening.
Kabuki: Isn't she though?
Brian: *eyebrow raise* Yeah.
Anya: *shrugs* It's who I am.
Brian: I feel like I'm gonna fuckin' overdose on sunshine and rainbows.
Angel: Then you'll love me! I looooove my girl!
Brian: God, sunshine and raibow lesbian. Wonderful. Hot, but... greeeat.

Brian: Mmm... Maybe.
Malfoy: I said no, didn't I?

24) How many languages do you speak?
Joseph: English, a bit of Latin, German...
Kabuki: One?
Kaleb: I know some sign language, some Spanish, English.
Kabuki: I feel so... out of the loop.
Joseph: I could teach you German.
Kabuki: *slow smile* Okay.
Brian: English and German, both fluently.
Anya: English, Gaelic.
Angel: Just English!
Kabuki: Finally, I don't feel like an idiot for only knowing one language.
Angel: *smiles* You're not alone, sweetheart~
Malfoy: More than one.

25) Any powers?
Joseph: No.
Kabuki: *shakes head*
Kaleb: I'm a normal human mortal...

Kabuki: What, I don't scare you?
Joseph: No?
Kabuki: Oh.
Joseph: Baby, you are so not intimidating.
Kabuki: .....THANKS! /sarcasm
Joseph: *facepalm* Not what I meant, babe. I meant to me.
Kabuki: ...Oh. *nuzzle*
Kaleb: I'm gonna have to agree with him *nods to Kabuki* and say myself.
Brian: Being dependent, addicted, or any other denomination of that fuckin' word.
Anya: Losing my family.
Angel: Not really~
Malfoy: No.

28) Gay, straight, bisexual? If gay, top or bottom?
Joseph: Bisexual, and I'm mostly a top. But I'm leaning more toward gay lately. Women are fuckin' mental.
Kabuki: I'm with him in the bisexual/gay department, but I'm mostly bottom unless I'm feeling feisty. *grin*
Joseph: I like it when you get feisty. *grin* It's fucking sexy.
Kabuki: I bet you do.
Kaleb: Straight, though not of my own choice, damn it. I just can't even think of being with a guy without going fucking mental. Thanks, Dad. Ass. *sarcastic salute*
Brian: I don't define it, and I don't get fucked. That's about it.

Anya: Anything upbeat and happy.
Angel: Rob Zombie. ^_^
Malfoy: I dno't necessarily have one, and it's not like you would know who it was to begin with.

30) Favorite thing to do?
Joseph: Play guitar and spar with my best friend... and sex.
Kabuki: I like painting, and playing drums. Sex. Obviously. *grin*

Anya: I love cooking!
Angel: Bugging Otis is fun~~

Kabuki: *little grin* I've got two from a previous relationship.
Kaleb: One on the way. *somewhat sulking look*
Brian: Uh. Fuck no! I'm never having fuckin' kids. Considered it once, but the prospective mother turned into a conniving fuckin' cunt, and just... fuck that shit.
Anya: I've got... six. all from the same man. And I once thought I was sterile! *laughs*
Angel: Nope, no kiiiids~
Malfoy: No.

32) If you could live in any other place, where & why?
Joseph: I'm happy living in Vegas.
Kabuki: I'd have to agree. Or, rather, anywhere he is.
Brian: *looks on* You guys are sickening!
Kaleb: Aren't they? *shakes head*
Joseph: Fuck you. You're just jealous.
Brian: Fuck you, I'm not.
Kaleb: *shrug* So what if I am?
Joseph: *shakes head* What the fuck ever.
Kaleb: If I could go anywhere? Mmm... Italy.
Brian: I wanna go to fuckin' Germany again, man. That place was sick.
Anya: I'd love to go to Ireland. *dreamy voice*
Angel: Hell's perfectly fine, thank you~
Malfoy: Durmstrang.

33) What is the craziest thing you ever did?
Joseph: Went on a killing spree with my sister.
Kabuki: Mmm, I made a sandwich out of a heart?
Kaleb: Overdosed on heroin and then tried to kill my girlfriend. Not fun.
Brian: Took coke, heroin, ecstasy and acid all at once. I was fucked the hell up for weeks.
Anya: *jaw drop* How the hell are you still alive?!
Brian: Pure fuckin' luck, princess.
Anya: Stop calling me that!
Brian: I won't listen to my boyfriend, what makes you think I'll listen to you?
Anya: Wait... what?
Brian: Yeah, boyfriend. You fuckin' heard me.
Anya: I never pegged you for the gay type.
Joseph: you never did me either, Anya, to be fair.
Anya: True... I don't have any crazy stories, unfortunately, unless you count the time I tried to slit my wrists via broken glass.
Kabuki: *frowns* Ouch...
Anya: *silent nod*
Angel: I have lots of crazy stories, especially when I ran over someone with an eighteen-wheeler.
Kabuki: *stares for a second* That's brilliant...
Angel: *grins and wrinkles nose* I know.
Malfoy: I've done a lot. Not that I'll list it. *eyes the rest*

Kabuki: Nothin'... *shakes head and looks away*
Brian: I think everyone I've wanted to meet I have... except Dimebag, I never got to meet him before he died. *frown* Fuck.
Anya: Mmm... C.S. Lewis.
Angel: *shrug* I dunnnoooo~~
Malfoy: No one comes to mind.

35) What is your greatest accomplishment?
Joseph: My children, hands down.
Kabuki: I have to agree. My kids are everything to me.
Kaleb: Getting out alive?
Brian: The Golden Gods award, and the Total Guitar Award. Fuck yes.
Anya: I'd have to agree with Kabuki and Joseph. My kids.
Angel: The string of murders I accomplished before I diiied~
Brian: Fuckin'... stop it with the singsong.
Kaleb: I agree. *rubs temples* Please?
Angel: *pout* Fine.
Malfoy: Getting this bloody far.

36) Do you have any pets?
Joseph: I have a very old cat, Gabriel.
Kabuki: I've never had any pets really.
Kaleb: I don't have any pets either...
Brian: I have Slash, the most kickass Maltese in the fuckin' world.
Anya: I've had a ton of pets, but none at the moment.
Angel: Scarlet is my pet~
Malfoy: None at the moment.

37) Do you have any nicknames?
Joseph: Joey, Jo-Jo.

Anya: That could be one of the uses, I'd never thought of that before. *giggle*
Brian: Ugh.
Angel: Knives, guns, torture devices I've used 'em all. *grin*
Malfoy: My wand. What else?

39) What is your favorite body part of a person of your gender choice?
Joseph: Eyes. Lips. Hips.
Kabuki: I like the general, overall appearance.
Kaleb: Breasts? (Mainly because it defines the difference between the sexes >.>
Brian: Tight fuckin' hole.
Anya: Ey -- Ew! You are so vulgar!
Brian: *smirk* I know.
Anya: *squeals* Ewwwwww! Joseph, can I switch you?
Joseph: *blink* Switch me what?
Anya: You know, places? This guy's bugging me.
Brian: Oh, quit your fuckin' whining. It's childish.
Anya: *huffs and stays where she is out of spite*
Angel: General figure. The female body is beautiful~
Malfoy: A lot of places, I suppose. Erogenous zones mainly.
