SMJHL GMs Questions (14 Questions)
Code:
- How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.)
I seem to manage to find plenty of hours, and I don't want to think of a concrete number.
- Is water wet?
No, wetness is a general descriptor for an object that has come into contact with a liquid.
- What made you join the SHL?
The idea of getting to play hockey D&D.
- What are your general expectations of your juniors career? Are you looking for a long and successful career as a junior player, or are you hoping to be called up to the big leagues as soon as possible?
I want a good community in the J, and ideally, I'd like to be on a team that's competing pretty actively. Whether I go for an early call-up or not will depend a lot on my SHL team and how things are going, but I'm looking for at least 3 seasons.
- If you had to give a 30 minute a lecture off of memory what topic would you choose?
I have a few at this point. General descriptions of my hobby interests, like Star Wars, Pokemon, and NASA history, are over a half hour. I can probably talk a half hour about my field of work because I think it's pretty cool. I may or may not be able to hit half an hour about SHL simming.
- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league?
I had not. If somebody had asked me to put it on a map, I probably would've guessed it was in Ohio.
- How do you feel about walruses?
They're alright. Duncan was pretty cool.
- What are your thoughts on the paradox of tolerance?
Short version, I think it's misnamed. In my opinion, it's not tolerance of intolerance that's the road to hell, it's the ways that those tolerant people are exploited and abused for their hope and acceptance. After a certain point, it's not a paradox of tolerance, it's an upheaval against a group or ideology that's using a person good faith actions and thoughts against them, and ultimately becomes more of a self-defense. I can't fault anyone who's not ready for that, goodness knows that I'm not ready for it in a lot of areas. I think ultimately the starting point and bare minimum is examination of one's own thoughts and actions, and then trying to do and be better.
- Any hobbies you’ve been into lately?
I haven't had a ton of time for hobbies between work, family stuff, and simming lately, but I do still enjoy video games and pop culture franchise stuff.
- What is the best book you have read and why? (Comics included)
I'll stand by my answer from last time. I don't know that I have a best book, but the one I tend to recommend because I feel like not enough people know about it is called "To Say Nothing of the Dog" by Connie Willis. It's set in a universe where there's established time travel, with certain rules and limitations that make it only really accessible to historians and archaeologists. While the author has some other more serious works in the same universe, this one is more of a comedy. It centers around an Oxford historian named Ned, who is part of a research team that is rebuilding a cathedral. One of the last pieces is a vase that's of comically outlandish design and bad taste, but cannot be recreated for various reasons. It's gone missing in time and Ned's task is to find it. He'll have to trace the timeline against constraints of society, the time travel technology, and his own sanity as an overworked 20-something pinned between an overbearing client and the client's overbearing Victorian ancestors. And yes, there is a dog.
- What do you consider the most important part of a fun league experience?
The locker room, hands down. Anything in the league starts with the locker rooms that you're in and how you interact in them.
- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why?
Luxray has been my answer for a very long time because it's a cool Electric lion and I loved it so much in Gen 4. It has a challenger now in Fuecoco. I love my small, glue-eating, no-thoughts Fire croc boy.
- What video games do you play?
Pokemon has been the big one lately. I still play GTAO sometimes. I picked up a game called Tracks that I'm trying to figure out, it's a voxel game based on the wooden train sets like the one I had as a kid.
- If you were to choose a breed of dog you would most likely be, what would it be and why?
According to the first dog quiz I found when I Googled it, I would be a Basset Hound. I guess it fits? Never really thought about it.
