[KomissarSteve]

All right, I guess I'll take this survey that I ganked from the first thread, so I can further procrastinate on my homework. ~_^

~First Name: Steve; sometimes spelled as "Staev." Long story.
~Age: 22.
~Location: Monterey, CA.
~Occupation: Pretentious grad student.
~Favorite Color: Violet.
~Denomination: Lutheran (ECLA), with Orthodox leanings.
~Ministry Involvement: Was involved in several mission trips in high school; I'm still relatively new in Monterey, so no real involvement in a church just yet, besides attending services.
~Favorite Food: Anything pesto-related.
~Favorite Band: Beatles, Pink Floyd, James Taylor, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Derek amd the Dominoes, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, and a few others. I can't stand contemporary Christian music, sorry to say. ~_^
~Favorite Holiday: Christmas or Halloween.
~Interesting Factoid #1: I speak a little Russian. Although my Russian professor would probably put particular emphasis on the "little" part of that.
~Interesting Factoid #2: I'm actually lower Russian military aristocracy, through my maternal grandfather - and yes, a lot of good it does me, in these post-Revolutionary days.
~Interesting Factoid #3: I can't have dried mangoes in my apartment, because I will eat them all and get even more cavities.
~Interesting Factoid #4: I LOVE "Rocky Horror."
~Interesting Factoid #5: I sometimes play videogames on my laptop in class when I'm really, really bored.
~Interesting Factoid #6: I will often walk into church fifteen minutes late, without a hint of remorse, because I was in the car, listening to "A Prairie Home Companion."
~Interesting Factoid #7: My best friend and I have been writing a long, complicated sci-fi saga for the past fifteen or so years of our lives. Obviously, our writing styles have both evolved. ~_^
~Interesting Factoid #8: I love stage acting - especially Shakespeare. I was one of the leads in "Hamlet," which was a LOT of fun.
~Interesting Factoid #9: I was inspired to study Russian and the Cold War from an early age, when I first saw "The Hunt for Red October."
~Interesting Factoid #10: My wildest dream is probably that someday I can be so rich, I can actually "buy" the Hagia Sophia from the Turkish government and then donate it back to the Orthodox Church and let them reconsecrate it. I'm a Byzantinophile.
~Favorite Bible Verse: John 8:32 - "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
~Favorite Secular Novel: War & Peace -Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, and Les Miserables -Victor Hugo. Although these two books are, arguably, neither novels, nor entirely secular. ~_^
