Retaining three year old answers, let's see what's changed...

Name: Michael. Or, to some, Mike. -Still true, except many now habitually call me "Joosten."
Age: 18 +3=21
Occupation: Student/Library Page -Well, I'm still a student, and I still work with written materials, but I'm in university now and I'm an assistant archivist in the summer.
Future Aspirations: Depends on the month, but the most constant of my goals is to become a Priest. If not, then a Dad. Dunno about the day job... -I appear to have totally settled on priest, barring (pun intended) an act of God.
Goal in life: Write and publish a book. -Still would be nice, but right now I'd rather aim to not be monolingual... which will be difficult, given that I'm lazy.
Short term goals: Finish Grade 12 -Finish my BA (one more year...)
Passion: LEGO, Tolkien, Church -And one could probably add "the Barrow-downs"
Hobbies: Reading, writing, posting online, playing with LEGO... -except that I don't have time for all of the above anymore...
Famous for (okay, this is where you get to brag about yourself): Being the smart kid. I've always been known as the smart, or mature kid. The sooner I shed that image, the better. Also known about town as "the boy who wants to become a priest". Great way to avoid matchmaking old ladies, I might add.... -Still known as the smart kid, still known as "wants to be a priest." Also known as "the" Catholic in a couple circles.

Favorite books: The Lord of the Rings, obviously. Anything by Tolkien, for that matter (excepting maybe his "real" scholarly works). Actually like the Harry Potter series as well. Also anything well-written and historical tends to fascinate me. -Haven't read much fiction these past couple years... nothing new anyway. I've read a lot of Philosophy, and enjoyed it... but more the ideas than the actual reading thereof.
Favorite movie: Don't really have a permanent one. Loved the new Peter Pan! -Still nothing permanent, but I would probably pick the Chronicles of Narnia.
Favorite sport: Bunnock That's right, you've never heard of it before... -No change.
Favorite store: Toys 'r Us, or possibly any Mens' Wear store. -TRU is still a big hit, but my idea of good clothes leans ever closer to cassock and surplice.
Favorite music: Classical, Country -And anything liturgical with Latin &/or an Organ.

What you most love to do: Hanging out with friends, go to church, acting, reading, writing, vegetating, sleeping... -same, except I haven't acted in years...
Who you admire: John Paul II, J.R.R. Tolkien, Alec Guiness, and a plethora of others... -most notably including Papa Benedetto, St. Thomas Aquinas, and quite a number of other Catholics.
