1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions and leave the answers as comments on my LJ.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
The questions I was asked:
1.The most romantic gift you’ve ever received was….
2.There’s no genie, but you’ve been granted three wishes, how do you use them.
3.decribe What you would consider a romantic night out?
4. Name the actor or actress you’d want to portray you in a movie based on your life.
5. Your idea of a romantic food is……
1. The gift of trust from one person to another is the most romantic and exciting gift there is.
2. I would wish for the following:
a.) For one of the top scientists in the US to come up with a workable alternative energy plan and implement it right away.
b.) For magic, real honest to gods, finger wrigglin’ magic to be granted me.
c.) The ability to change my appearance on daily basis – in other words, make me a metamorph.
3. Dinner, a moonlit walk along the beach, dancing at a really good (yet strangely uncrowded) club, after hours stop at a coffee house for talking/snuggling. All of this with my husband and boyfriend. (Yes, at the same time)
4. Hrm. I’ve answered this before and I would have to say “Sandra Bullock”. I say this not because I think I’m as cute as her but because I feel like we’ve got the same *kind* of smile. That is to say, genuine and slightly goofy.
5. This is kind of a toss-up. Either a full-on 10 course Indian dinner, complete with the ritual arranging of the dishes; all served on spotless silver platters while dancers entertain me/us.
Or, the curve of my lover’s neck.
The Process 
interview me please
For you…
1.) If you were a weather phenomenon, what would you be?
2.) Think about your favorite painting style (modern, impressionist, romantic) What about it affects you and how?
3.) Someone has just taken a highly embarrasing photo of you – what do you do and why?
4.) You are snuggled up with your favorite sweetie on a quiet evening at home. What is going through your mind?
5.) Tabula Rasa(*) – you’ve been dumped in modern day NYC. What is the first thing you do (assuming you aren’t mugged and left for dead in the first few hours)?
* complete and total amnesia of self – no memories of anything prior to waking up on a park bench in the Park. Basic functionality – speaking, walking, reading, etc. are still available to you.
Re: For you…
1.) i think a Thunder/electrical storm
2.) modern, i like the abstract shapes and colors, it lets me look at what i “see” in the image and relate it to my own concepts of reality.
3.) there are several levels of embaressing, but simaler results with all of them, laugh at myself with everyone, im a good sport, and if you can’t laugh at yourself, then who can you laugh at.
4.) remembering every moment so that i can take it with me anywhere i go, and if i ever find myself lonely or Blue, i can pull up those memories and feel warm and snuggly again.
5.) awe at the massive buildings and multitudes of people. then try asking some people ” i am not feeling well, where do i go for help?” in hope of someone telling me whats going on or where am i.
Re: For you…
Good answers!
I think I like doing this! *beam*
Me, me, me, me….me!
– Jane, Coupling #103 – My Best Friend’s Bottom
Hope you like….
1.) You are a superhero. What are your powers and what do you do with them, assuming you are unique?
2.) You’ve just been given an obscene amount of money. You have just enough money to do one (and only one) of the following: a.) cure AIDS, b.) feed the hungry in your home state or c.) get the current President out of office. Choose.
3.) Romance, that sweet bliss. The touch of a hand, a lingering kiss. Pick your orgy partners from the rolls of the dead. (Don’t worry – they’ll be alive when they show up). Up to ten.
4.) Your desert island comes with a broken replicator that can only make 1 type of food. Assuming you’ve got water to drink – what do you set your food choice as?
5.) Describe your (dream) outfit. It can be kinky, groovy, whatever. Tell me why you chose it and how it makes you feel.
Re: Hope you like….
1) I’m The Mirror. Liars, hypocrites and prejudice in general don’t stand a chance! Instant karma, it shall be yours.
2) c is awwwwwfully tempting, but better that the People get off their collective ass and decide this for themselves once and for all. I’d be b if it was something continuous, a if it wasn’t. Of course, with a I could make money to do the other 2…
3) *That’s* a weird one. K, what dead people would I shag? Sappho, Shaka Zulu, Will Rogers, Mark Twain, Rudolph Valentino, Marlene Dietrich, Chopin.
4) Corn. If I can just scrape together some oil somewhere, I have a lot of options.
5) I love those Waterhouse/pre-Raphael-type flowy semi-sheer outfits in bold colors. I’d feel pretty. 🙂
Interview me.
Some quasi serious, some silly.
1.) You just graduated Hogwarts School of Wizardry. What is your chosen profession in the wizarding world?
2.) Oak or ash or thorn – which of these has the magical properties that most describes you and how?
3.) The world is going to hell in a handbasket and you are SO outta here on your rocket. Unfortunately, the only destination that you can make is in Ming the Merciless’s system. What do take with you – or who?
4.) Oh my gods, oh my gods! The most amazing looking person in the *entire* club has just cast come-hither glances your direction as s/he is walking towards the door. Unfortunately, you really, really have to pee or there is going to a have to be a cleanup on Aisle 5. Decision time.
5.) There are puppies (or kittens or baby seals – an animal that appeals to you) in that burning building. You can save at least five of them unscathed, 7 with some serious burns and all 10 if you sacrifice your leg. What do you do?
Re: Some quasi serious, some silly.
1.) You just graduated Hogwarts School of Wizardry. What is your chosen profession in the wizarding world?
Hmm……probably potions maker or teacher at Hogwarts. But then I’d have to fight Snape for his job. But that could mucho fun for both of us. *grin*
2.) Oak or ash or thorn – which of these has the magical properties that most describes you and how?
Oak. I have always had a strong, fiery and passionate personality.
3.) The world is going to hell in a handbasket and you are SO outta here on your rocket. Unfortunately, the only destination that you can make is in Ming the Merciless’s system. What do take with you – or who?
If I can only take two, I take my cat and my husband. If I can take more than that, I take his kids and their mom and her husband. If I can take more than that, I take most of the people on my live journal and some of the friends that aren’t on it. Most of them can kick butt and don’t care about taking names and we’d have control of the place within the week. Hmm…having said that, we wouldn’t even need to go, now would we?
4.) Oh my gods, oh my gods! The most amazing looking person in the *entire* club has just cast come-hither glances your direction as s/he is walking towards the door. Unfortunately, you really, really have to pee or there is going to a have to be a cleanup on Aisle 5. Decision time.
Pee. Amazing looking people come through your life all the time, I’ll get another chance. Must avoid the truly embarrassing sitch.
5.) There are puppies (or kittens or baby seals – an animal that appeals to you) in that burning building. You can save at least five of them unscathed, 7 with some serious burns and all 10 if you sacrifice your leg. What do you do?
Grr I hate these questions! I’d have to go with saving the seven and getting the serious burns and much crying and ridding myself of the guilt over not being able to save the other three.
I love all of these questions by the way.
Re: Some quasi serious, some silly.
Thank you! 🙂 I like writing but I’m always a bit nervous when I put it out there, you know?
Re: Some quasi serious, some silly.
Oh, I know. I’ve made myself get over it though. To much in the world to miss.
You’re cuter. She’s funnylookin. And she has a weird voice.
Oh yeah…interview me. 🙂
Again, I hope you like these!
1.) You are right in the middle of a “no shit, there I was…” story when zombies attack; not ONE of your listeners notice (hey, its a good story!). Do you finish the story or run for your life?
2.) Your (extremely attractive) boss walks in on you reading erotica on your lunch hour. S/he looks intrigued and sits down with you to discuss the pros and cons of various types of erotica. You are (___emotional response here please___) by this.
3.) You are living in Canada when they finally annex the US for unpaid debts. Do you stay in Vancouver/Quebec or move a little further south?
4.) Moral dilemma: make people the world over forget how to hate or heal your best friend’s uncurable cancer?
5.) There is an anime being made about your life. Who would you choose to voice you and why?
Re: Again, I hope you like these!
1.) You are right in the middle of a “no shit, there I was…” story when zombies attack; not ONE of your listeners notice (hey, its a good story!). Do you finish the story or run for your life?
Neither. They’re ZOMBIES. They’re the one critter that I actually have speed AND reflexes all over. I grab my letter opener, behead the zombies and THEN finish my fabulous story.
2.) Your (extremely attractive) boss walks in on you reading erotica on your lunch hour. S/he looks intrigued and sits down with you to discuss the pros and cons of various types of erotica. You are (___emotional response here please___) by this.
Interesting…an alternate reality where I would enjoy reading erotica (I don’t) and STILL have a hot boss (I really do).
In any case, were this to happen, I’d be flattered/excited and ask her if we should have um, a private meeting to discuss things further in her office.
🙂
3.) You are living in Canada when they finally annex the US for unpaid debts. Do you stay in Vancouver/Quebec or move a little further south?
*immediately starts savings account*
Um…I’d still stay north. I mean, I don’t just have issues with the US, I need cool weather and good public transit. If the US doesn’t change either of those things, might as well stay put. Hopefully visiting my peeps down south would be a bit easier, as a result…then again, I’d probably want to head somewhere ELSE with gay marriage and socialized medicine and try to get everyone to come with me…
4.) Moral dilemma: make people the world over forget how to hate or heal your best friend’s uncurable cancer?
The latter, because I just have a pessimistic feeling that if people didn’t know how to hate, some other emotion would still be around in order to facilitate our making each other miserable.
5.) There is an anime being made about your life. Who would you choose to voice you and why?
Actually, my second cousin Daniella. I know that’s weird, but she has just a luscious, deep, velvety sexy voice that I’ve always envied.
Do me! Do me! Do me!
Wait…that’s not exactly it, is it? ::grin::
I’d like to be interviewed.
Re: Do me! Do me! Do me!
OK! 🙂
1.) Which of the following is closer to your true (the one you wished you grew up to be) career path – NASA race car driver? Nuerosurgeon? Astronaut? Clothing designer? TV Chef?
2.) List four books that have special meaning for you. Now of those four, which would you be willing to let someone borrow on the basis that it would “change their life”?
3.) You are in the middle of the ocean with nothing but water for miles and miles around. A shark is circling your tiny, rubber raft. How did you get here?
4.) If you could have any famous artist paint your portrait, who would you choose?
5.) Captain Kirk has just asked you to meet him in his quarters, Ensign Bad Kitty. Do you? And of the following, what do you take? A clipboard & stylus? A tribble? Glittery harem pants? Or Mr. Spock?
Re: Do me! Do me! Do me!
1) Astronaut. I’m fascinated & terrified by flight, and entertained notions of the USAF Academy for a brief time.
2) Silverlock, by John Myers Myers; anything by Connie Willis, specifically Bellwether or The Doomsday Book; Winnie The Pooh; Little Women
I’d loan someone Silverlock, because it’s the only book I’ve read that I wish I could forget, so I could read it again for the first time.
3) Cosmic trickery. Ever read Heinlein’s ‘Job’?
4) Titian. I’m a round redhead. I couldn’t lose. =)
5) I’d go, but given the option, I’d take a bat’leth. If no bat’leth, then a clipboard. Nerdsexy.
Re: Do me! Do me! Do me!
I actually have read it – its one of MY books that I would lend out. 🙂
What the hell.
1.) You are a rogue, a pirate. You’ve been sailing the 7 seas for the past 7 years. Other pirates go in fear of you. You are _________ the __________, Scourge of the Mediterranean.
2.) Which of the sins (if any) would you commit whilst in Willy Wonka’s factory? What would the punishment be?
3.) You’ve summoned a wise and deceitful djinn, who has granted you 1 wish. You know he will twist what you say – what is your wish and how do you phrase it?
4.) What kind of cookie are you?
5.) If you could go anywhere, anywhere at all – be it fictional or real – where would it be? Describe it in detail.
Wow, those are good…okay, here we go.
You are a rogue, a pirate. You’ve been sailing the 7 seas for the past 7 years. Other pirates go in fear of you. You are _________ the __________, Scourge of the Mediterranean.
I am Sparky the Vile, Scourge of the Mediterranean.
Which of the sins (if any) would you commit whilst in Willy Wonka’s factory? What would the punishment be?
I think I’d probably end up eating all of the Wonka Bars in stock at the gift shop, and then I wouldn’t have enough money to pay for it and somehow I’d have left my credit cards at home, so they would turn me a nice milk chocolate shade, squoosh me into a rectangular shape, and wrap me up in a giant Wonka Bar wrapper. I’d then be put on display on a billboard on the side of the highway.
You’ve summoned a wise and deceitful djinn, who has granted you 1 wish. You know he will twist what you say – what is your wish and how do you phrase it?
Oh, jeez. Hmm…I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t wish for anything because everyone knows that a djinn is nothing but trouble. Don’t you watch “Charmed?” 😉
What kind of cookie are you?
Snickerdoodle
If you could go anywhere, anywhere at all – be it fictional or real – where would it be? Describe it in detail.
At this point, I think that I would go to the shore at Little Compton, Rhode Island. My husband’s family has a little cottage there on the top of a hill. It overlooks a few houses below and then the ocean below that. On a clear day, you can see Martha’s Vinyard from the front porch.
If you go down the steps and across the front yard, you will find a path that winds past two or three other houses and then down through some brush and then to the ocean. The sand is extremely rocky, but the waves are beautiful. There are some rocks out in the ocean, and one of them has a land bridge during low tide to get to it.
