Which historical figure do you most identify with?

Maeth: Imhotep. He was an exceptional crossbreed between science and spirituality being an architect, a surgeon and a priest. Rarely both sides of the brain work at the same time like that.

Paul: Jealousy

What is your favorite journey?

Maeth: astral projections. Any time.

Paul: Any materialistic driven one

Which words or phrases do you most overuse? .

Maeth: some swearwords I’m sure you wouldn’t be happy to read here.

Paul: I told you I was right 😉

What is your greatest regret?

Maeth: Not having put to sleep one of my dogs when it was time. I waited for a few days more and she went just a few minutes before I was back home alone. I’ll never forgive myself for that. I genuinely thought she could have lived longer, yet still I know I should have let her go.

Paul: I have no regrets they are pointless

What is your current state of mind?

Maeth: detached from the world, rather aloof. A bit of a Major Tom hovering in space. Lots going on (mostly  nice stuff though!).

Paul: we would be closer (geographically) together

What is your most treasured possession?

Maeth: my Familiar (dog). I also have ancient family jewels but there’s no comparison. The dog always wins.

Paul: Creative

 What is the quality you most like in a man?

Maeth: a loyal and kind heart, paired with acute intelligence and a dominant sexual nature. Basically the one who can respect the lady, fuck the whore and protect the little kid in me. Sorry I couldn’t have put this in a clean way without losing the emphasis.

Paul: Loyalty and humour

What is the quality you most like in a woman?

Maeth: same as above, minus the sexual nature because I am straight.

Paul: Curves 😉
