Anthony P.A. Williams's Questionnaire

I live in Whistler, British Columbia. I was born in Vancouver. My family lives there. I live in Whistler because I like the cold, and it makes it easier to go skiing. I am not very good at skiing, but I like to do it anyway. My job takes me all over the lower mainland, so I need to drive. I am not very good at driving either, but I am not bad at it. I do not usually crash. I usually keep a rifle in my truck. My mom is in the government and lets me have an international arms license as long as I am not stupid with it. I do not know why, but I have used it to practice a lot with them.

I get my money from my job. I get paid pretty well as a production assistant. I usually do gig work, but I have made enough of a name for myself in the film industry to be seen as good at my job. I come as a recommended name. Also my mom is pretty important. The film industry has a lot of people that get in through their family or friends being important, but I am actually good so it is different. I spend my money on food and rent, so I don't have much left over each month, especially in the off-season.

I want people to know who I am. I am used to being called "Sophia Williams' son", and I do not like it. I want people to see me as my own person. I also want people to look up to me, because I think I can be a good role model. When I was a kid, my older brother was my role model. I always looked up to him, because he was always there for me. I want other people to be able to see me like that. I do not want to die. I think that would be a bad way to do what I want. Other than that, I am chill with pretty much anything, if it allows me to be the ultimate idol.

I think the most defining event of my life was probably when my dad was brutally murdered in front of me. It was pretty scary because I was only like 10 and my older brother was not around to protect me. There was a guy that we found out was controlled by a mushroom and he broke into our house with a gun and shot my dad a bunch when he tried to protect me. It was really nice of him to do that but I wish he did not die. Because the guy shot all those times, the police came over and shot him dead too. I do not want that to happen to anybody else. My brother said I was really brave after but I do not know why because all I did was run and hide.

My friend, Blue Iannon. We met online in a forum about film work. They wanted to know if there were ways to get in to film work in the lower mainland, so I told them I could put in a good word for them. We talk sometimes about the film industry.

My mom, Sophia Williams. She has an important government job. She is on the TV sometimes to talk about supernaturals and how dangerous they are. I do not know if she is right. Magic is so cool!

My older brother, Nicholas Williams. He is the closest person in my life. I talk to him a lot. He likes to talk about therapy and stuff, but it kinda goes over my head sometimes so I tune him out. I know I am not supposed to but it is all just so confusing. He also talks about sports and movies and stuff though, which is a little more fun to talk about.

My childhood was alright I guess. I do not really remember much from it. I went to school but I was not very good at it so I had to do extra school. My mom said I should not feel bad because my teachers thought I was dumb but I did not realize they thought I was dumb. I do not know if my mom was telling the truth or trying to be mean. Other kids would call me dumb but I just ignored them because I did not care about what they thought. I did not really fit in because I was really tall but people were still mean to me even though that was cool. My dad was really nice but then he died. I do not always know what my mom means when she says things so it is hard to say what I think about her.

I do not know what that means. I love guns. I love my car. I have been in my car. Have I been in love with my car? I am being absurd. The answer is no, but I am confused by the follow-up question. Why would I know the answer to that? I cannot speak for every missed connection, every mild deviation within the cosmic theatre of the universe. I do not know. I could never know. It does not matter. Nothing happened. Nothing will happen. I do not know why, only that it simply will not. What a stupid question.

I am afraid of dying like my dad. It is bad when people die but I do not want to die to protect someone else. I think we should just both not die instead. I do not want to die at all though. Dying is bad. My dad did it and it made me sad and while I don't know if anyone else would be that sad about it I still don't want to do it. If I was dead then I wouldn't be able to have guns anymore because I would be underground. You're not supposed to shoot guns when you're underground because the sound echos a lot and it is bad for your hearing. I do not want bad hearing. I am really good at hearing and I need to do it because it helps me know what people think because they sometimes say it quietly instead of out loud. I wish people said what they meant more often because then it would be less confusing for me. I do not like when people think they should hide what they mean because it is really stupid. If you do not say what you mean then how will other people know what you mean?

I like my GLOCK-19. I carry it almost everywhere because I just think that it is really neat. I have studied the history of it and its predecessors as well as its attachments and other relevant information and I think that it is pretty cool. Some people think that guns are just for killing but they are also a story waiting to be told. It sucks that some people just want to use them for violence when they are really as diverse and complicated a tool as any. Violence is bad but because it uses guns a lot guns seem bad by conflation when that is not true. Guns can not do anything wrong because they are objects and objects can not be held responsible for actions because they can not move. People are silly when they say that guns kill people but it is really people that kill people. People probably do not need guns.
