FAQS
GENERAL TWITTER QUESTIONS.
http://www.twitter.com/DomsWildThings
Will you follow me? Retweet me? Wish me happy birthday. Why won’t you reply? Why did you block me?
Chances are I won’t follow you unless I know you. If you constantly ask me to follow you I will block you. It’s silly.
I may retweet a great question or a funny comment.
I WON’T retweet something like “retweet me please” or “I like you.please retweet”
Be original!
If I say happy birthday to one person I have to do it to everyone.
I receive thousands of a tweets a day. I cannot possibly reply to everyone. It’s my twitter! I choose who I can reply to based on when I’m on twitter and how I feel!
I block people who are rude, ask inappropriate questions, negative, overly persistant(like the same question 20 times), unkind on my feed, racist homophobic, sexist, or generally a douche bag.
I don’t often retweet sweet kind lovely comments because I don’t want to seem self centered and egomaniacal. But sometimes I might!
I do often retweet nasty crazy lunatic foolish tweets to name and shame idiots. It reflects .8% of the tweets I get. I enjoy troll hunting. It’s fun to me.
If what I tweet upsets you don’t follow me. If you complain about how I represent myself here I will probably block you.
I’m usually being sarcastic or funny consider that before giving me a hard time.
Be positive.
Be fun.
Be original.
Be nice.

If you could play another role in LOTR or Lost who would it be?
What character would you rather play in a movie/tv show you were in?
Think about this question for a second….
It feels to me like this “I kinda like what you did but would you rather play another role?!”
Or in another way it’s like me saying “I like you but which one of your friends would you rather be than yourself?”
It’s kind of offensive no?
No!!! NO!!!
All my characters are so linked to me in deep connective ways that I couldn’t possibly have any other character feel “better” or “cooler”. Or played them better.
This question is the MOST annoying one I get asked!
Do you miss Lost? LOTR? Flash Forward?any project?
No. I DID them! 100%. On to the next one.

Where did your accent go?!
I was born in Germany. Moved every four years. My parents are both from manchester. Growing up I spoke with an Irish accent around Irish kids n a posh accent around posh kids. I am a natural mimic. I’ve lived in France. And New Zealand before now living in LA for 10 years. My accent is an amalgamation of so many sounds and accents and journeys. I can do a PERFECT mancunian accent. In the states most people say “huh?” When I speak. My accent has softened based on my time here. Be nice. It will continue to change. I’m a sponge!!!
