I Enjoy These Too Much

[bloodyrosemccoy]

I did this survey once before, when I changed one question so that I could announce that, if I were going to be serially killed, I would only accept Brad Dourif as the killer. (Brad, who is not a serial killer but plays one on TV, in movies, in computer games, and on TV some more, probably would not go for this.) But since agenttrojietagged me, and I can’t find that survey, I can always do it again!

 

Rules of the Game:

A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs & replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

 

B) Tag 8 people to do this quiz & those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by & cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.

 

C) ENJOY?

 

1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?

agenttrojie said “Find out why.” That seems like a good idea.

 

2. What do you do before bedtime?

 

3. What will your dream wedding be like?

Probably there would be a trip to a water park, with a picnic and sandwiches and Cokes and of course lemonade for my Mormon buddies.

 

4. What fictional world would you like to live in most?

Mine. Except I rather enjoy running that world so my second choice would be, of all things, Dinotopia—the old illustrated books version of it. It seems like a really nice place to spend one’s life, without a lot of apocalypses to interrupt one's reading.

 

5. Are you an introvert or extrovert?

A little of both, although being an extrovert for too long tires me out.

 

6. Do you tell the truth in your livejournal?

Of course. Doesn’t everyone?

 

7. Do you trust easily?

I always tell the truth—and too much of it—and I forget that other people don’t, so yeah.

 

8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?

Pine. Maybe cast them in a story.

 

9. Is there anything that makes you unhappy these days?

Not eating always seems to do the trick. All the Many Moods of Unhappy can come to the surface when that happens—cranky, depressed, furious, sick, you name it.

 

10. There was no Question 10. So I will make one up: What would you want to name your rock band?

Answer: Well, I considered “Famous Mormon Underwear” for a long time, but then I happened across a medical term that I think is much more fun: “Crash Migraine.” That sounds like a band that would make it onto Guitar Hero, doesn’t it?

 

11. Is being tagged fun?

Somebody thought about me!

 

12. How do you see yourself?

From the collarbone down, unless I am looking in a mirror.

 

13. Who are currently the most important people to you?

Boring question! I’m gonna change it: What is the silliest thing on your iPod at the moment?

Answer: Well, that would be a tossup between Al Gore’s speech about protecting the planet from global warming and dark wizards, and a fantastic jazz band rendition of a combination of “Sleigh Ride” and the music from Super Mario World. Although I also have the new Pixar short on there, and that’s pretty silly.

 

14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?

The kind of person who is never without her lucky brachiopod.

 

15. Would you rather be single & rich or married but poor?

Bah, that depends on the person.  New question: What’s your favorite word?

Answer: In English, it’s currently “garnet”—my synesthesia goes wild over that word. In Spanish, probably “bambolearse”—to lose one’s balance—or “murcielago”—bat. In Swahili, it would definitely have to be “kiboko,” which means “hippopotamus” and goes in the noun class for languages and tiny things.

 

16. How many children do you want to have, if any?

None at the moment. There are enough kids in the world who need a home that if I ever decide on a kid I will make sure it’s one who could really use a mother and for whom I’d be a good one.

 

17. Do you wear the lilac on the Glorious 25th?

I would eat the arse end of a mole, my friend.

 

18. Do you like taking photos, or having photos taken of you?

Is this an either/or question, or a double question?  I’m going to take it as the latter and say “yes/yes,” unless you barge into my room when I’m in the middle of something and throw my old baby blanket on me and then try to get me to smile for the camera when you clearly just interrupted important goings-on and then get all huffy when I can’t fake a smile. Not that this happened to me yesterday or anything.

 

19. What type of friends do you like?

The kind who don’t tie me to train tracks.

 

20. What type of friends do you dislike?

The kind that do tie me to train tracks.  Although I’m not sure why they’d be my friends in the first place.

 
Eenie meenie miney ... ampersand, i_blaze_the, gondolinchick01, ninjakitten, and company (this means you!) are tagged.

ah yes, the far more popular "Harry Potter and the Balance of Earth"

You are awesome. I may or may not get around to trying this meme myself (even though you didn't tag me!), but I certainly enjoyed your answers. Especially number 12. Also, "Crash Migraine" is a great name for a band.

Amen on your views on children. I have this half-dream somewhere in the back of my head about getting together a nice ranch somewhere with a couple good friends and turning it into the world's coolest foster home where we all rotate childcare duties, and there's lots of laughing and singing and reading and cooking and artwork. Care to be a prospective member?
