velvetechosAlright, this is to help me out with an upcoming school project, so the more of you willing to answer these questions, as detailed as possible, would be wonderful.
To be fair, Ki'll post her answers in the responses, if you wish to read them. You can also e-mail me your responses, if you wish for them to not be seen, but this is for an upcoming school project, so Ki'd appreciate answers if you can be bothered to give them.

Were you allowed to watch TV on school days? Was your television intake monitored (as in how long, what you were watching etc):
Did you learn most of your morals through stories, events, parents, school, or television:
Were any of stories you were told passed through word of mouth, or were they all taken from books:
Were your parents always honest, or were tall tales to make the lesson stick alright:
Did you have any family traditions:

Date: 2004-07-04 02:59 am (UTC)Were you allowed to watch TV on school days? Was your television intake monitored (as in how long, what you were watching etc): Except for reports or high school (by then my parents didn't care anyway) I usually always had my homework done. My parents never really monitored what I watched. It was the 80s, so there was really nothing to get excited about anyway.
Did you learn most of your morals through stories, events, parents, school, or television: Television. 80s cartoons were all about morals. These days my parents continue to amaze me though.
Were any of stories you were told passed through word of mouth, or were they all taken from books: Books. My family is pretty plan.
Were your parents always honest, or were tall tales to make the lesson stick alright: They weren't really honest, they just never really told me the truth either. I would say things were mostly hidden. Santa does exist, btw.
Did you have any family traditions: We used to have one were every Christmas my mom would get a broom. Now I get her a candle, because that's all I can usually afford.
Were family history/family pride/family time important: Nope. If you saw my relatives you'd understand that we're actually the normal of the lot. Everyone else is either way out of shape (I'm being kind here) or on some medication.
Did you have cultural influences (ie: ethnic foods/music/dress/etc): Not until real life. And it's still pretty shallow.
Was your family religious: Nope. They never forced us into religion either. I think I went to church once and never went back because it was too boring. I remember wondering why people were being dunked in a tub though.
How old were you when you first went to the cinema, and what did you see: The earliest I can remember is seeing The Fox and the Hound when it first came out, so whatever year that was.
Did you spend a lot of time playing video games: I was so good I had people from the air force base calling me for tips. Ok, it happened once, but I was still the go-to guy for games and hints. I also have two awards from GamePro for the top scores of their world championship competitions. Sadly I never made it to the nationals. I never did use my free year of video game rentals at Blockbuster either. :(
What extra-curricular activities did you partake in: Some sports, Boy Scouts, but I was forced into all of that. Dad wanted a sports son I imagine.
What do you think of Disney's butchering of classic fairy tales:They're free to do what they want. Fairy tales have been butchered before Disney was around anyway. The real ones are pretty depressing. Pinnochio crushes Jimney Cricket with his foot I hear.
