Chris Raleigh
("Frigmous")
Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Space, Star Wars, Town, realistic MOCs
My fascination with LEGO began... ...at Christmas in 1978, when my parents got my brother and
me
our first LEGO sets. I've never gone a Christmas without LEGO
since, though my addiction has certainly spread beyond the
yuletide.
I once built... ...a working ejector seat into a minifig fighter plane. Pull the pin,
releasing a technic shock absorber which boosted the seat out the
top of the plane.
Someday I will build... ...a highly detailed scale model of the Titanic. And the U.S.S.
Enterprise NCC 1701-E. And possibly the M/V Presque Isle, a 1000'
ore carrier.
LEGO is great because... ...it affords endless creativity to anyone of any age and skill level.
What was genius at 5 is genius at 25 is genius at 55...
LEGO fans are great because... ...they're endlessly creative and live life with a sense of whimsy we
all too often lack in the modern world.
My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: What are those? I can make any toy with LEGO! Transformers are cool, though.
My favorite Hobbies & Interests: Writing, theatre, films, reading, playing with my children.
My favorite Foods: Chinese food. Pizza. Italian. Mexican. Beef.
My favorite Movies & TV: Star Trek. The collected works of Aaron Sorkin. Anything really well done.
My favorite Artists: Escher.
My favorite Music: Peter Gabriel. Dave Matthews Band. Tori Amos. Too many to name.
My favorite Pets & Animals: I'm a dog person without a dog. My cat is okay, I suppose.
Words which best describe me: Funny. Intelligent. Creative. Someone once said "charming."
I love it when... ...I laugh unexpectedly.
I hate it when... ...people are mean to one another for no purpose.
I can't seem to get enough... ...Chinese food.
I always seem to have enough... ...love to go around.
I hope I always... ...love playing with a 5-year-old's toys.
I wish I could... ...live forever, not because I fear death but because I want to know
all there is to know and I need time to learn it.
I could never... ...knowingly hurt my family.
I hope I never... ...unknowingly hurt my family.
I wish I hadn't... ...had some of the relationships I've had with people I shouldn't
have had relationships with.
In my craziest moments... ...I do a happy dance. It is truly a sight to behold.
Believe it or not... ...I'm walking on air; I never thought I could feel so free. Flying
away on a wing and a prayer, who could it be? Believe it or not, it's
just me.
If I were super-human... ...I would have a hard time choosing between the ability to fly and
the ability to be invisible. Whichever would be of greater use to the
world.
More & Less:
- more International goodwill, less Nationalistic self-aggrandizement
- more Self-discipline, less Blame
- more Things, less Stuff
Rules I try to live by:
- There is nothing, nothing like a new pair of socks.
- If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well. If it's not worth doing, don't bother.
- Keep going.
