Thank you KaBooZ for taking the time to do this. It's a nice little read, and there is much more to KaBooZ then hot hot man sex. Enjoy!
x Euphoria: Hi kaboozsauce
KaBooZ: Hi Laniphoria sauce! :_
KaBooZ: woops,
x Euphoria: haha
x Euphoria: Well, kaboozzzz you have been selected for a interview at HoC
KaBooZ: o..m..g..! -little girly scream-
x Euphoria: hehe, well i hope you don't mind but i'm going to start asking you some questions..
KaBooZ: Okay, go ahead!
x Euphoria: Hurray!, well to start off What is your full name?
KaBooZ: Arend Haan
x Euphoria: Does it have any special meaning??
KaBooZ: Well, the word Arend comes from the word Adel/adelheid which means Royalty, so sort of yeah. Oh and my first name is also the name of a bird, and eagle.
x Euphoria: That is really cool i think, nice name.
x Euphoria: So what is your age & occupation?
KaBooZ: Thanks! Well, I am 15 years old at the moment, I will turn 16 in march, the 6th to be more specific. And as far as occupation goes, I am a student.
x Euphoria: 2 days before mine!! birthday buddy.
KaBooZ: Yay!
x Euphoria: What do you plan to do when you get out into the "real world" Arend?
KaBooZ: Well, I really hope to become a graphics designer. I really love doing it and it has interested me ever I first saw forum sigs. Besides that, I just want to live a happy, care free life without too much trouble.
x Euphoria: That's a good answer.
KaBooZ": Hehe
x Euphoria: Where were you born and where do you live?
KaBooZ: I was born in the little city of Emmen, all the way in Holland/The netherlands. I still live in that same place and have never moved away.
x Euphoria: Do you enjoy it there? or prefer to move somewhere else when you get the chance?
KaBooZ: Well, the whole graphics industry kind of sucks in Holland so I'd love to move to a country where the industry is huge, like America.
KaBooZ: But I do enjoy it here though.
KaBooZ: The neighborhood is nice and there is no such thing as drama here. But then again, there are very little possibilities to get a job around here, so moving away would be the option for me, some time, later in life.
x Euphoria: Well i'm sure whatever choice you make you'll do it because it is what you want, and what will make you happy!
x Euphoria: but moving on... Do you have any siblings?
KaBooZ: One older brother, he is 18 at the moment.
x Euphoria: Do you like being the youngest child?
KaBooZ: Not really, my parents really want me to life up to my brothers standards and I am not really that kinda guy, y'know?
x Euphoria: Ew, yea i understand all of that. Sorry to hear.
x Euphoria: But well, what are some of your other hobbies side from the internet and video games.
KaBooZ: haha, its okayy
KaBooZ: Well, graphics design off course!
KaBooZ: And art in general
x Euphoria: I'm sure you enjoy more things than that!!
x Euphoria: Especially you
KaBooZ: If you know art, you don't need much more <3
x Euphoria: <3 aw that's adorable.
KaBooZ: Haha =]
x Euphoria: It's nice to see someone passionate about something.
x Euphoria: Well what are some of your bad habits?
KaBooZ: Nail biting, doing drugs on occasions I really shouldn't, quite the foul mouth at times when I get pissed, can be extremely mean.
x Euphoria: Haha, well those don't seem all that bad... just common
KaBooZ: well, sort of..I guess
x Euphoria: Can you tell us your most embarrassing moment?
x Euphoria: *Sorry prepped questions*
KaBooZ: Most embarrassing moment? Idk, I think it was last year on holiday. I was in Alanya, turkey (beautiful place to be btw) and at the hotel we were staying they had a show every night. One night was this belly dance show and the girl of the staff there that was dancing was one of the people that I really got along with so she asked me to dance with her (yeah...). So she explained some moves and I did them and then she told me to just go loose, do whatever I felt like and I slipped and fell flat on my face =[ I was so embarrased that day.
x Euphoria: x| that sucks so sorry. i always feel so silly if i ever do something embarrassing but it's human no worries:]
x Euphoria: AREND!!!!
x Euphoria: If you had one million dollars what would you do with it?!!!
KaBooZ: I'd give it to my parents. They need it more than I do.
x Euphoria: Aww so kind hearted
x Euphoria: Well, if you could go back in time and change one thing...what would it be?
KaBooZ: I honestly would not change one damn thing. I know I have said and done things that offended people, but without those situations I would not be the person I am right now. Life would just not be the same.
x Euphoria: That's a realllllly good answer because most people don't learn anything from things they have done in the past, it's nice to know that at least someone learned something.
x Euphoria: But well, how would you describe your personality in 3 words?
KaBooZ: Helpful, asshole, sarcast?
KaBooZ: I really don't know.
KaBooZ: I suck at describing myself.
x Euphoria: Lol kabooz you know you are a much better person than you can even put into words. trust me lol
KaBooZ: Thanks <3.
x Euphoria: Do you have any unique talents or facts about yourself? & np
KaBooZ: I wouldn't know about talents, unique facts about myself though..idk either. I guess mentioning the fact that I have multiple personalities is good...that pretty much explains my randomness
x Euphoria: Randomness keeps things interesting, so that's a good thing.
x Euphoria: What is your favorite food?
KaBooZ: I was wondering when this question would come up. Anyhow, I'd have to say anything chinese or japanese. I am literally in love with their food.
x Euphoria: Mmm yummy
x Euphoria: If you could change anything in the world what would you change?
KaBooZ: Ignorance. The people are so left out about the real plans of their governments and there is so much that is left behind. I'd just wish that some day, governments would stop hiding stuff and be honest with what they are going to do. A weird example of this is the dutch political party Partij Naastenliefde, Vrijheid en Diversiteit, which really tells the people what they want, even though that includes sex with animals, making the minimal age for young children to star in born 12, instead of 18. And stuff like that.
x Euphoria: That's insane :/
x Euphoria: But a very good answer..uhm If you could have any superpower what would it be and why?
KaBooZ: Argh, the superpower question! I think I want to be like Hard Gay, he isn't really that much of a super hero, and he has no super powers but that guy is so incredibly funny and self conscious. His power is to spread love and joy to the people.
KaBooZ: So basically, to have the ability to spread love and joy amongst people. That would be awesome.
x Euphoria: haha but that is a very original superpower answer
x Euphoria: How did you find HoC or who introduced you to it and what made you stay?=]
KaBooZ: Well, this is sort of a more "older members story", everybody remembers the Angel of Death conflict, amirite? Well, shit started on H2F, I met DoX there, I got along with him and we helped eachother out gfxwise. Shit hit the fan and people went balistic over AoD "dating" DoX. He then tried to defend himself in whatever way, and so did I and the both of us eventually got banned. Both Dox and AoD left to Halomega back then and I kind of lost contact with them. About a week or two, maybe three I came across Halomega and saw DoX and AoD posting, so I was like "OMG REGISTERRR" and well, here I am!
What made me stay was the friends I made, and especially Kossick and Siarnaq, I had and still have the awesomest talks with these guys and as long as they are around I will be around.
x Euphoria: oh myyyy what a story
x Euphoria: What's your favorite section of the HoC Forum?
KaBooZ: Off topicccc Oh and the GFX section =]]
KaBooZ: I found out that I have around 1500 posts just in the offtopic and the rest is outside of it...Yay for me!
x Euphoria: But yea, how do you feel being the top poster on HoC?
KaBooZ: Darn proud actually, I like how a lot of people try to make fun of me by saying "all you do is post". It gives me lulz.
x Euphoria: Good, we are happy to have you
KaBooZ: And I am glad I joined you guys =]
x Euphoria: Hurray, so besides being the top poster on HoC what makes you a proud member at HoC?
KaBooZ: The fact that I manage to entertain people. I don't see myself as funny so the fact that I can make people laugh brings a smile on my face.
x Euphoria: That's so niceee we love having you honestly.
x Euphoria: What do you like most about HoC? Ex; Community, players, tournies, etc
KaBooZ: The community, off course. I don't play with that much HoC'ers so I wouldn't know. I do love the community, you guys are all so lovely, oh and the girls too

KaBooZ: Well, I was born an elektro kid. I loved and still love bands like Daft punk (music legends <3), kapersky and stuff like that. A couple of years back, like 2 or so, I have gotten more into metal and lately that has changed into most screamo and emo-core. But I still listen to all of the stuff I used to listen too.
KaBooZ: I kind of love everything.
