Gabriel Michael Donovan. Gabe is my only nickname and the name I go by. I have been called worse by various people, though. March 3, 1977. I was born in New York City, New York. My father is John and he is a doctor. My mother is Linda and she is a retired nurse. What this meant for me is that I could never fake being sick. I have a younger sister, Gillian, and she is a police detective. Basically my family is full of successful people and then there's me. I attended Carnegie Mellon University and studied Game Design. I've thought about maybe going back for my Masters but I've never been sure what to study. I got a job right out of college so I never really had the time. I was the kid that everyone made fun of because I was obsessed with games and Batman and other nerdy things. Nothing much has changed, obviously. Everything? I'd change a lot about me but mostly my lack of confidence. It holds me back a lot in life. There's a lot of reasons that I am who I am and some days are better than others but. Yeah, my lack of confidence. My friends, family, Pi (my cat), video games, board games. I have no shame in my last two answers. Gym. I tried to get out of it at any opportunity. Also, I struggled with writing papers in English because my brain works faster than it takes for me to write out my thoughts. It made for my papers to be a complete and total mess. Very rarely, which is awful. I go to work and I come home. I'm not really the most social person so going out isn't part of my routine. Not as regularly as I'd like. I'm looking to change that now that the weather is getting nicer. I was beaten up in school. Does that count? The go to is obviously fuck and I do like that word but I'm also a fan of fuckface. Cremated because then I couldn't come back as a zombie. It'd really suck to die a second time, I think. Both are equally hard so I don't think I could possibly decide. I had plenty but that's because I didn't really have a whole lot of friends. When that happens you make your own reality. Um. My beard? I literally can't name 3. Drew. Also, Drew. I'd be really distressed for a long period of time and probably go into a deep depression. It wouldn't be pretty at all. Not really. I'm really guarded and people have let me down in the past so I try not to get attached too easily. It still happens from time to time and it sucks. I'm an extremely light sleeper. I'm also an insomniac so it usually takes me a super long time to fall asleep and staying asleep is a huge problem. For example, I fell asleep at 3 last night and something woke me up at 4. I fell back to sleep at 5:30. Well damn. My answer is still Ghostbusters. #rebel I would like to go back to infancy sometimes so I'm going with yes. Succeeded at failing? I think so and I feel like this exact thing is going to happen to me someday. Oh god, Windows 98. Not answering the question just Windows 98. If there are enough people around you, I'm sure you could. This is such a hard question for me and you know it. I will always hold a soft spot in my heart for Super Mario Bros. I just can't quit the nostaglia factor there. Oh dude. Probably Settlers of Catan. I also recently played the game Cacao and had a really fun time. I could go on and on. Is Star Wars still considered to be nerdy? I feel like it's blown up in the most ridiculous way so if that's the case, Star Trek. Everything? I'm always going to be a huge geek over video games and board games. They are my escape and the one thing that keeps going in life. See above answer. I was lonely and imaginary friends are frowned upon after a certain age. So I got a cat because I am a lonely dude who wanted something around when I got home from work. God, I am so lame. Because you convinced me that Pi would be an awesome name. And it would be awkward if I posted pictures of her on Instagram with the name Super Pussy. Because it's made of magic and unicorns. I don't know. Dude, your beard is coming along really nicely. You are competing with me in the beard department. I'm looking for a girl who is intelligent and passionate about something. Somone who isn't afraid to be themselves and who isn't afraid of my extremely nerdy side. It wouldn't hurt if she played video and board games, as well. And yeah, I guess. I should be dating because my mother is on my case about this constantly. Creep by Radiohead speaks to me on a personal level. I could never hate you, Drew. Whenever you want. You should always know the answer is WHENEVER. BECAUSE SERIOUSLY, WHENEVER. Probably Reaper because he looks BADASS. I'd like the point out this is in all caps. And I'm not awesome but thank you for saying it, Drew. He did but I didn't answer all of them. Sorry, Drew. I AM. And I think Pi is excited about it too. I just wanted to point out that you didn't return to ask more questions and that hurts, Tara. I am a definite 10 at video games? And even then, I'm somewhere between a 7-10, depending on the game. Is there a movie where the nerd doesn't get the girl? Pretty in Pink? Did Molly Ringwald chose Jon Cryer at the end? I don't even know, it's been too long since I've seen that movie. I can be funny? I am awful at questions like this because my self-esteem is a shithead and fuckface sometimes. First of all, I would never write a book. But maybe Coding Your Friendship? I'm so lame. My beard, probably. I would have the most boring reality show ever. It would be me going to work, playing games and snuggling with my cat. Also, throw in an awkward date occasionally. People wouldn't want to watch that. Um. I do most everything alone so I don't know. Absolutely! I had a blast the last time! It would probably be a sort of RPG game where you were stuck inside of a video game and suddenly became typical video game architypes and had to find a way to escape the game. So you'd be a version of whatever character you came up with, applied with video game architypes. It might be convoluted but I think it could be interesting. |
