All right, got tagged at some point by piper_lee, so here, have a filler entry.
piper_lee, so here, have a filler entry.I love how imperious meme rules are getting, by the way. You are now totally required to do these memes, and don’t think you can weasel out of passing it on by tagging “whoever wants to do it,” you little miscreants! I’m onto you and your wily ways! RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.*
People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves. Tag eight people. Those who are tagged cannot refuse. These eight people must state who they were tagged by. You cannot tag the person who tagged you. Continue this game by sending this to eight other people.
Amelia sez: I may not add my own questions, but I am going to correct the grammar on the ones I’ve been asked.
1. You have 50 dollars in your pocket. What do you do with it?
First, TO PITA PIT! Then to the bookstore!
2. What is your most guilty pleasure?
Nap time. Any time is nap time!

Also, Law & Order. It’s the most terrifically silly show, and the difference between it and CSI is that L&O takes itself very seriously.
3. Have you ever seen someone die?
3. Have you ever seen someone die?
No. I saw my bird close to it, but I missed the actual moment.
4. Are you confused as to what lies ahead of you?
The Future, generally. But who isn’t confused about what’s in it?
5. Where do you see yourself in five years?
The Moon! It occurs to me that in sixth grade I read in Scholastic News that by 201X we would totally have moon colonies, and I made serious plans to be in on this. I even contributed suggestions for essential moon colony equipment, such as smoothie machines and water purification systems. I see no reason to change my plans now.
EDIT: MY GOD, I FORGOT TO TAG! *remorse* All right, I tag ...10cents, sunshine_shaman, karjack, gondolinchick01, kadharonon, queenlyzard, saelkie, and kjpepper. And, of course, anyone else who feels like doing it; tag does not bind you to doing it, which is a direct contradiction of the commandments set down by the meme-maker, so you will have to choose who has more authority, me or Anonymous. BWAHAHA I have placed a moral dilemma upon you.

6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone else?
8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
Attached to what? A suitcase? With handcuffs? I would try to find out what was in the suitcase, naturally.
9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy recently?
All of these paper assignments that are fangoriously devouring my free time.
10. What do you want most in life?
Right now? A pita. And for these papers to GO AWAY. And for Brad Dourif to not serial kill me, even if he would be the coolest choice.
11. If you could pick between being a good singer or a good dancer, which would you choose?
I AM a good singer; ask anyone who was in the A-wing of the dorm when I took a shower. I’d do that, but I’m still gonna try for the dancing, too—specifically tap. Next term. Right after my juggling class. We pause now while you make the obvious connection.
12. If you find out that your best friend is going out with your boyfriend/girlfriend, how would you react?
20. Do you have an all time favorite song?
Yeah, but it changes frequently.
Okay, this is a dumb question. I have decided to change it. Amelia, if you could be anyone in the world, who would you be?
-That’s easy. I would be WILLIAM FUCKING SHATNER.
Follow my logic here. If I were WILLIAM FUCKING SHATNER, I would need no talents, save one: the remarkable ability to convince people that I was awesome. I would think I was awesome, after all, and I would have a remarkable power to make people—even people who thought I was a talentless hack—agree with me, and even when I got old and fat and forgot how awesome I was and dressed as a bellhop in commercials, people would still pile beautiful women around me and get me jobs on shows where forgetting my lines wouldn’t be a problem because I would be playing someone with ALZHEIMER’S and I would still be regarded as awesome by everyone. And my early career would be characterized by the diplomacy of either punching or sexing up aliens.
7. If the person you like does not accept you, would you continue to wait for them to change their feelings?
That’s another silly question. New one: if you were going to be serially killed—that is, bearing in mind that as a single individual you could not actually be killed in a serial manner, but assuming you were one of a serial killer’s victims—who would be the only acceptable person to perform this job?
-Brad Dourif, who is not a serial killer (that we KNOW of) but plays one in the movies, in computer games, on TV, and anywhere they need actors who can pull off looking like someone who enjoys the hell out of complicated murder. He would overact the whole thing, but it wouldn’t matter because he would do it in a deliciously soulfully intensely creepy fashion, a style most serial killers fail at. He does not, however, get to do it as Chucky.

12. If you find out that your best friend is going out with your boyfriend/girlfriend, how would you react?
I’d be really surprised—I had no idea I had a boyfriend/girlfriend!
13. Who is currently the most important person to you?
Me, of course. I am a product of The Self-Absorbed Facebook Generation, right?
14. What kind of person do you think you are?
I am the kind of person who does not notice Question 14, nor that I accidentally left the previous person's answer here. I am also the kind of person who changes this. I am a grumpy high-maintenance person, but I am also a creative person.
15. Do you believe there is nothing higher than human kind?

15. Do you believe there is nothing higher than human kind?
I believe some humans are higher than others, but the War on Drugs is working on that.
That is a very vague question, y’see. Higher in what sense? Tall? Technological? Moral? Hell, let’s just boil it all down: I’m an atheist. Make of that what you will.
16. Which fictional character could you most see yourself marrying?
16. Which fictional character could you most see yourself marrying?
Hank McCoy. Or maybe Eugene Wrayburn from Charles Dickens’ Our Mutual Friend, but he’s already married to Mortimer Lightwood Lizzie Hexam.
17. Would you give your all in a relationship?
17. Would you give your all in a relationship?
I suppose. That’s another vague question.
18. Do you have a motto? If yes which one?
18. Do you have a motto? If yes which one?
Well, not really. I am considering getting a tattoo that says “It is the scientific use of the imagination” down my spine in my conalph, though. I do say “The difference is that I really am right” fairly often. I’m also rather fond of “No matter how thin you slice baloney, you can always break a window with a brick.”
19. What type of people do you fall for?
19. What type of people do you fall for?
Intellectual, urbane, good sense of humor, the usual. Optional: Fluffy, blue, and/or Scottish. Strongly recommended, but not requisite: Being male.
20. Do you have an all time favorite song?
Yeah, but it changes frequently.
EDIT: MY GOD, I FORGOT TO TAG! *remorse* All right, I tag ...
10cents, sunshine_shaman, karjack, gondolinchick01, kadharonon, queenlyzard, saelkie, and kjpepper. And, of course, anyone else who feels like doing it; tag does not bind you to doing it, which is a direct contradiction of the commandments set down by the meme-maker, so you will have to choose who has more authority, me or Anonymous. BWAHAHA I have placed a moral dilemma upon you.*I sort of wish every pat speech ended with that—Miranda rights, marriage ceremonies, the Pledge of Allegiance (how appropriate lately). JOIN US.
