Let’s meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it’s Hazel.
What’s the story behind your name? Taken from The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (and, I guess, other Heinlein books, but I haven’t read those yet). I had trouble deciding between her and Ludmilla. Admittedly, I’m probably more like Milla, but Hazel’s just cooler. Plus, I like having a “z” in my name.
[That’s a great novel; I stole it from my brother. -Ed.]
Where do you live? I’ve been noticing shurikens flying by my head lately, so I’d rather not give an exact location, but I will say it’s in central NC, where any boyfriend I find gets, “If anything happens to my daughter, I have a .45, a shovel, and a large back yard. No one will miss you,” from my father. Funny how they think he’s kidding.
How old are you? Old enough to be able to vote for Fred Thompson next year, but young enough that I’m still celebrating being able to watch R-rated movies.
Tell us briefly about yourself. I went to public school until the middle of my sophomore year when I got sick of the lack of learning and decided to home school. I intend to graduate in December and hope to go to NCSU in the spring to probably major in chemistry. I like shooting, writing, action movies (despise chick flicks), working on my car (’82 240D), and other fun stuff. I’m also currently a 3rd gup in Tang Soo Do, which is sort of like Tae Kwan Do, but 1,000 times better.
How long have you been reading IMAO? Probably only since this past spring. The first post I remember reading was the State of the Frank Report where it was decided that you had to kill Aquaman. When I finished, I said, “This man is a genius!” and added the site to my favorites.
What’s your favorite IMAO post? I would probably say one of the IMW’s like everyone else, but I’m waiting until I get the book to start going through all of them (asking for it for Christmas since I don’t really have any money). As things stand, I don’t really know; none are really jumping out in my mind at the moment, except perhaps the Ode to Violence, but that’s probably just because I just read that today. I’ve really been enjoying the Ronin Profiles though; it’s nice to learn about other people who read the site.
If you were to describe IMAO in three words, what would those be? “Nuke the moon,” obviously.
What’s you favorite political issue? It’s a pretty close race between guns and schools. Guns because they are a blast to shoot (pun intended) and are great for self-defense if you can carry, but people are trying to take them away from the good citizens (Myself included, and I can’t even own one yet!). Schools, because learning is also really fun, but the public school system just ruins it for everyone simply by being a government-run system.
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. Bad day to ask that. Just this morning, I started this: http://insertrandomaddresshere.blog.com/, but I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to do with it yet. I may incorporate a little myspace page that I made a little while ago (one of my many sad, sad, sad attempts at humor) into it and delete the myspace. Here’s the current myspace, if you’re curious: http://www.myspace.com/theonepartyhq
What’s your favorite country that isn’t America? Ameri- Oh, that isn’t America? In that case, I’ll have to say Japan. Without them, we would all be without ninja, Ronin, sushi, kimono, katana, anime, and many other great things of that sort.
If you commented in the latest post asking for participants, you’re still in the running. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far; just because you may not think you’re interesting doesn’t mean we won’t enjoy your story.
Hazel is also cool because it’s the name of the rabbit in Watership Down. Don’t be surprised if you start to get a lot of email from the conservative guys on this board from now on Hazel. The guns, the karate, the conservative values, your dad is going to run out of threats soon.
Welcome to the Ronin Pile, Hazel!!
Hazel,
It’s nice to see a fellow Heinlein fan on these boards.
I’m kind of on a Heinlein kick now, reading as many of his novels I may have missed earlier.
A great comment he made in the Novel “Double Star”…
“”Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay – and claims a halo for his dishonesty”
Hazel, welcome to Ronin-ness. I’m also a big Heinlein fan. I think I liked “Doorway to Summer” best of his short stories.

“Nuke the moon” doesn’t describe anything except a fool-proof, brilliant plan to achieve world peace. IMAO in three words is: Unfair. Unmedicated. Unbalanced.
Nice to meet you Hazel and kudos on the choice of Japan as second favorite country. And just think, if we hadn’t nuked them we might not have had any of those thing that they offer. Darn Japanese, embracing Democracy and Capitalism despite liberals not believing that anyone really wants it. :o)
Hi Hazel. Thank goodness you didn’t take the name from the tv, (that’s T.V.) maid. Cuz then you’d be as old as me. ick. Frank, it’s obvious what happened to Aquaman. He bought a blazer, got a $400 haircut and is currently running for President. President Sissyboy. aaaghh
Shimauma: That’s better than him trying to set me up with people like he’s been doing. And my sister… And her friends… And my grandma…
Joe: Good quote, I’ll keep that one in mind. I plan on reading as many of his books as I can once I have money enough to buy bunches of books.
hwy93: Yes, I liked that one. It’s one of the three of his writings I have read, the third being “The Puppet Masters.”
hwy93: Same as above.
Nobody: I was thinking of something along the lines of “Best. Website. Ever.” but then I realized that “Nuke the moon” was also three words. Then my mom called me for dinner, so I didn’t have time to mull over it forever.
G Fresh: Nice to be met. And you certainly have a point there. Nuking stuff makes everyone much happier in the long run, don’t it?
Howlsatmoon: I have never heard of a T.V. maid named Hazel. Thank goodness too, because that would make me as old as you. 😉
[Deciding Whether to go for creepy humor]—-[Decision Complete]
Ah you send my heart a flutter. Voting for the Fred! as your first vote, it shall be mine to! See how much we have in common? Should thou not love me? Supporting gun rights? Why that is the single most attractive feature possible in a women, your respect for the individual is Divine! Second Rate Humor offbeat? Why is there a better kind? Not in my knowledge, or in the collected knowledge of the Edmon Low Library! Tendency to go into rant like Tangents? Oh why torture me so!
I’m no poet, but by my love for you I shall Try! Hazel my love burns eternal! May this daze lead me to you!
Yep, creepiness factor definitely achieved. You’re unnervingly good at it, actually… nearly made me spew my hot chocolate!
BTW, “a women”? 😛
Eh, my typos are many…
But uh, something about love and uh.. yah… white hot intensity.. or something.
Welcome to IMAO fame!
I’m near Chapel Hill; let’s go shootin’ sometime.
(Hey, Shimauma warned you)
and AND I speak German. So back off, AR!
North Carolinians unite!
And for the rest of the country, find your own beaches or spend more money.
You back off HKpistole, German is a sissy language, I decided to forget all the German I knew, now I speak fluent PHP, which is functional knowledge! Oh yah, thats right I can program! You better watch out or I’ll store variables in a MySQL server!
Note to Self: Get a gun, feel like a freaking wussy without one.
Why is it all the cool women are on IMAO and nowhere near here physically, bet no one here would look at me funny when I walk into my apartment and start unloading kit…
Wow… I’m planning on using the same line for my daughter’s boyfriends when she’s (much) older. I have 10mm instead of a .45, but the thought’s the same.
EI
Guten tag, HK! Get me a nuke the moon t-shirt, and I might consider shooting with a Chapel Hill-ian. Eventually.
I agree, Ringmaster. We oughta have a NC ronin get-together, ought we? Also, my favorite is Ocracoke. 🙂
AR, my grandfather has probably risen from his grave to eat your brain for calling German a sissy language (despite its lack of practical uses in the world of computering). And yes, you should get a gun; even I keep a Kahr by my bed, geez. Sure, it technically belongs to my parents, but still…
TriggerNinja, sorry to hear that you live somewhere that sucks. On the plus side, ninjas rock!
EI, you should definitely use that line and with whatever caliber you wish. Every guy should be mortally afraid of his girlfriend’s father (though I’m not sure what they would say about that).
Southern Outer Banx, FTW~~
Proud Resident of Havelock NC.
Scout me terrorists, you’ll find only cries of laughter and the gentle hymm of a primed 7.62.
German is a sissy language, I stand by my original statement! If I don’t care if my ancestors would be upset, why would I care about yours? I read the Zombie Survival Guide, I’m ready for Zombies.
TriggerNinja, I know the feeling, somehow, in the heart of Conservative Oklahoma, I can’t find a good Fred! supporting woman.
Oh and Hazel, my poetic and creepy side is asleep so… [insert something lovey-dovey here]
