Q & A, The Usual
Aug. 19th, 2010 12:29 amOkay, I give up, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nobleplatypus. Your question 3 stumped me.
1. If you could take a week-long vacation inside one of Tamora Pierce's books, which would you choose?
Hoo, I really don’t know. Probably I’d hang out at Winding Circle Temple taking some kind of crash course in arts and crafts. Lark could teach me sewing tricks, Frostpine could show me some neat jewelry techniques, and then Rosethorn and I could spend pleasant evenings hating on everything.
2. What is your number one musical guilty pleasure?
I have so many it’s hard to choose, so I’ll just go with Swedish Bands That Start With “A”:
ABBA: My synesthesia has decided that ABBA music is the aural equivalent of a Lisa Frank picture: all candy and neon rainbows and sparkles. And yes, I love Lisa Frank too.
The Ark: If I had known about the Ark in high school, they would definitely have been part of my Teen Anthem Music. They’re just so upbeat about hating the world. “Sure, we’re mad as hell,” their music says, “but we’re not going to let that stop us from enjoying ourselves!” As it is, they are instead the Anthem Music of my murderous psychotic sprite character.
Army of Lovers: Just watch any of their music videos. Like Crucified. Poor Jean-Pierre. Life is tough, here in this bathtub.
3. Challenge: cast a production of "Hamlet" using Jim Henson's muppets.
Confession: I really am not familiar enough with Hamlet to cast a production of it. Not even when I allow myself two human cast members, as seems standard for Muppet movies. (Although admit it: you would watch a production of Hamlet with Dom DeLuise and Madeline Kahn as Hamlet’s uncle and mother.) Piggy would obviously be Ophelia, and Kermit would be Hamlet, but after that I kind of lose track of the characters, and all I can picture is Statler and Waldorf heckling the play-within-a-play. Sorry, my friend, I must forfeit this one.
4. Would you describe yourself as a cat person or a dog person?
I honestly do not understand the appeal of dogs. I have no doubt that they have some, but I myself rather dislike the style of attention-getting they go for. Give me a cat any day.
5. If you spontaneously developed the power to become invisible at will, what is the first thing you'd do with this new ability?
I would use the ability to SHELVE THE MOTHERFUCKING DVD CART WITHOUT ASSHOLES COMING UP AND BROWSING IT. Alternatively, I would probably just annoy the cat. Dream big!
This one is shamelessly ganked fromflutterbychild because I felt like it. Alas that so many memes can’t possibly fathom asexual people.
1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
Credit card. I always feel like a failure when I see how much I owe.
2. Favorite place to eat a romantic dinner?
I don’t eat romantic dinners. However, our own deck has some excellent ambience.
3. Last time you puked from drinking?
Never. I have never been drunk. I hate the feeling of losing control.
4. When is the last time you got drunk and woke up in a strange place?
See above.
5. Name of your first grade teacher?
Miss P. I just saw her a couple of months ago. I remember her being a lot taller.
6. What do you really want to be doing right now?
Getting paid. Otherwise, I’m cool with what I am doing.
7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
( You don’t even need to click to guess the answer to this one )
