Interviews again!
Oct. 25th, 2008 02:33 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
sorcyressSo, every six or eight months or so, I have a temporary lapse of sanity, and get involved in a round or three of the quintessential interview meme.
The way this works, is you leave me a comment saying 'interview me' or with song lyrics, or whatever. Just comment. I will then ask you five questions, and you will answer them. If you answer them in your journal, I will stalk you over there and ask for you to interview *me* and therefore continue the cycle until I get bored or forget about it.
(The secret trick is, of course, that I never forget about it. I just don't do them for ages and ages, which is why I've such a backlog.)
But! Today is the day for catching up! I had questions in my inbox to answer from:
Subject: Here's that interview you requested
Ernie Morbucs, roving reporter with the Mind Travel Times, here. Today, I have the privilege of interviewing one of our age's busiest Mind Travelers. She has promised to answer just 5 of our reader's most burning questions. So, here goes:
1. We understand that when you went to sleep the other night you were all snug and comfy in your regular bed in your normal, geo-static home in HoCo. When you awoke the next morning, you found yourself swaying back and forth in a small hammock. The room was very dark, yet you could tell from the sounds around you that there other beings in the same room. As your senses became more aware, your nose began to send you messages: "Ew, stinky! Hey, what died? Can somebody pass me a gas mask?" But then your brain kicked in and asked: "Where am I and how did I get here?" Please elaborate.
Well Ernie, it turns out that I had been kidnapped during the night and brought on board the pirate ship Sublimity. Being as I'm a steady hand with either a pistol or a sword, and not one to take orders from anyone, I wasn't much worried about my chances of survival. *evilgrin*
2. After your initial assessment, you carefully climbed out of your hammock and walked up a dimly lit, narrow set of stairs. At the top you stepped through a door into the dazzling sunlight beyond. There you were surprised to see a group of beings. Who were they? Names and descriptions, if possible.
They were humans, though I hesitate to call such scum human. Dirty rotten scoundrels (though without any singing) all hissing and waving their weapons at me.
3. After their initial shock, these beings made you an offer that they said you could not refuse. What was it?
With one quick look at me, they decided to make me their Captain and their Queen. I can't say I disagree.
4. In Mind Travel time, how long did you remain with these beings? Why did you leave? How did they feel about your departure?
Oh, they are saddened by every departure, but I return often --an Innerspace trip costs you No Fare, after all. (Bonus points for identifying the song.) I take care of my darling crew.
5. What are your plans for your next Mind Travel adventure?
There's this doctor with this lovely blue box I've been eyeing...
Thanks for sharing your latest adventure with our readers. Until next time, this is Ernie Morbucs reminding you, "The Mind less traveled is such a waste."
Arrrgggghhhh!
What's that Morbucs fella doin' in my LJ?
Cap'n Flex
Oh goodness me, I just don't know, Cap'n! I'll keep him out better next time!
Anne:
1. what do you think happens to people when they die?
I think it depends on the person. I've been a big fan of the idea that multiple beliefs can coincide for a long time now --if you don't want to go to Heaven, you can wander next door to Valhalla, or curl up in Hades, or take another spin on the wheel.
When I die, I'm going to be reincarnated. I can't see myself ever getting bored of the reincarnation version of life. There is too much of the world and it is too interesting to ever give up. Plus, I'd like to think that I'm keeping my karma positive enough to keep having a good time.
2. we're almost seniors, can you belive it?! does it scare you? and what do you want to be when you grow up? where do you want to go to accomplish this goal?
*coff*. Yeah. Almost seniors. Let's go with that.
I can believe it. And yes, it scares me. Aging has been scaring me more and more the older I get, mostly because I am increasingly responsible for my own well being, and I'm really not sure I'm mature enough for that.
I *want* to be a good enough writer that I can live off my work. I am going to be a high school maths teacher. And yeah. Going to Lesley and doing the teacher thing, and this question's a bit outdated.
3. why sorceress and not "witch" or "infanently powerful individual"?
Because the miniature I named myself after was pretty clearly a sorceress. Big honking staff (heh heh) and crystal ball and everything.
4. what's you favorite disney movie; why?
My original favourite was Robin Hood. If you ignore pixar, it probably still is my favourite, though Lilo and Stitch makes me cry, and is probably the best damn movie Disney's ever done. --certainly the best of the past dozen years or so.
5. any last words?
MOOP! is my one word epitaph, I believe.
1) You've just moved in to a house of your very own and all the ceilings are already beige. Tell me how you'd decorate things. As a guide (you can choose otherwise) lets assume you have three bathrooms, three bedrooms, two kitchens, two living rooms, two porches, a guest room, a dining room and a stairwell.
Bahahaha. Beige ref forthewins.
How I'd decorate? With a lot of bright colours. My bedroom is going to be orange, my craftsroom/writing room/study that has all the big windows is going to be yellow. I'd love to have a room be purple. The kitchen needs to be very cheerful, the bathrooms ought to be blue. I'd love a forest room. I dunno, anymore --I used to have the entire place mapped out, but I haven't mentally mapped a home for myself in ages.
I think my recent plans include having a ballroom (xkcd style!) and a ballroom (dance style)
10) Is there a room in your house that you want to have that doesn't exist?
In the dorm situation, a room to myself would be brilliant.
About the only room I've consistently wanted for myself *besides* a ballroom or a ballroom is a craftroom/study. BIG frigging table, all manner of shelves and filing cabinets and spare computers and craftstuff and space to write and hang out and screw around andyeah. Recording stuff, for music, and a piano. Sewing bits and pieces.
11) You are now someone else, anyone you care to be. Who are you and what, if anything, would you change and why?
I'm...I'm me. Wanting to be someone else leads to madness, I think, and I don't particularly feel like having it.
If I had to choose, I think ShadowKevin would be a good choice. 'specially since he just texted me implying he was hanging out with Brian frigging Viglione tonight, goddamn him. *jealous*
100) The world is no longer your oyster, you can go anywhere in the galaxy and be part of any universe, fictional or otherwise. Given that, where would you go and once you'd been everywhere you wanted to go, where would you end up for your final destination to live out your days?
For the rest of time? Oh, I'd keep exploring, as long as I could.
I want to die in my city though.
101) What time of year?
Never! Or, technically, June, since that's when my deathday is.
101) What year?
I'm actually immortal, as I've been announcing quite loudly of late. So year is immaterial.
101) What do you think makes you awesome?
I don't know anymore. I write okay, I guess. I've got a lot of things that make me feel not in the slightest bit awesome. I still have the unfortunate tendency to like myself quite a bit, however.
Currently, what's keeping me awesome is the picture of the moon I took a couple weeks ago, and the fact that I am doing well in maths class.
Dodger:
1. What was your favorite thing to play with growing up?
Uhhh...thing? Barbies, probably. DO NOT JUDGE ME, THEY HAD ADVENTURES!
It was like...early roleplaying games or something, with just me and Aly, or me and Veronica. Or something.
Also, running around the playground and outside was always very important. And just lying in the grass with Veronica is one of the best collective memories I have of my childhood.
2. Do you play mafia/werewolves in real life? Do you always play with a werewolf theme or do you play a mafia theme or do you change it around a lot? Why did you pick a Werewolf theme for the WGARS game?
I do! But pretty much only ever at Conventions, simply because that's generally the only time when I can play it. The best ever was at Balticon 07, where I spent an equal number of hours over the course of the con sleeping and playing Are You a Werewolf?.
We play Werewolf in real life because of the Looney Labs game "Are You a Werewolf". At the big frigging con Origins every year, starting at midnight, there is an obscene amount of werewolfing. It's *awesome*.
3. Who do you like better, Riff or ? (Assuming, of course, that Riff is still your sluggy favorite)
Unfortunately, it's been a right age since I last read Sluggy. This is because I am bad.
Riff has always been my favourite, though. I like Gwynn, because she looks like me, and Oasis and Kiki because they're awesome.
4. Why can't a mouse eat a street car?
SCIENCE!
5. Why do my legs hurt so much right now?
*heals them* Better?
Harena!
1) What's your favorite yarn?
Orange!!
Orange, and easy to knit with. Though there is this amazing fluffy yarn that knits really well with two strands of it mixed together. Bother me for pictures sometime, 'kay?
2) Oh. Do you knit or crochet?
I only knit my WhoScarf, because I don't know how to start or end it or anything else. Sigh.
3) Which regional british accent is your favorite?
Tenney! ^.^! Or Cockney, really. Yeah.
4) Actingness: which do you prefer to play? Comedic or Dramatic?
Comedic's easier, since I think I do a fair good job of making people laugh in general, but Dramatic is So Much Awesomer.
5) What is the best question to ask for the final question?
"When should I come to Boston to visit?"
EnZed Liam:
1. Do you say potato or potato, and if so should we simply make the decision to call the whole thing off?
I say potato so that it rhymes with tomato, but we should just call the whole thing off.
2. If you could play one role in a broadway musical, any musical, what would it be?
....Uhhhhhhhh
.........Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
Mrs. Lovett would be fun, though the beggerwoman from ST would be *awesome!* So would Tobi from the revival version, with the instruments.
Byck from Assassins would be wicked fun.
Lucy would be amazing. If I didn't dislike 'This Is the Moment' so much, I'd be all about playing Jekyll/Hyde (both from J&H)
Man, that is a hard question to answer! I do not sing so good, so I don't generally think about playing musical roles that awesome. Byck would probably be my absolute favourite to play, though. I need to memorize his monologues.
3. What's your favourite bad movie?
Ooooo. Hard question, 'specially since I've been watching more and more MST3K lately.
Of course, Snakes on a Plane is arguably the greatest cinematic achievement ever to come out of Hollywood. Butyeah. MST3K movies tend to be pretty wonderful. In that horrible sort of way.
4. You're thrown in to a magic portal and come out in a world governed by the D&D laws of reality! (ack!) What character class would you be?
Oh jeeze. probably a ranger or Paladin. Or, youknow, a Sorceress. Not entirely sure of the class, for alignment, I'm pretty sure I'd be chaotic good --I don't mind raising a little hell, just so long as no one gets hurt.
5. If reality TV was taken to its logical extent, would you rather watch Survivor: Jurassic Park or Big Brother: Room 101?
DINOSAURS DINOSAURS DINOSAURS DINOSAURS DINOSAURS YES!
Quanta:
Sorry it took so long - it's midterm week here, and that means studying.
Sorry it took so long to answer! I am merely lazy, though.
1. What classes are you taking next semester?
At the time, I was planning on taking Pre-Calc, Geometry, Characteristics of Children with Special Needs, Art and Craft of the Short Story, and Intro to Physical Science. I am taking all of those this semester 'cept the short story one.
As for next next semester...uhhhh...Calculus (hopefully) and my basic teacher course. Beyond that, nooo idea.
2. Will we see you at Illchester this year?
As, uh, evidenced by the fact that I was there to bridge Blue Canary, yes. You would. Hopefully, I will also be there next year. Because, yay, Illchester. Much love for it.
3. Which is better: Used bookstore or new?
Oh, totally and completely used. Better feel to it, better chance of discovering something new and awesome, and unless it's very high scale, much more affordable.
If it's not more affordable, it's generally because it's packed with things that I can't own, but desperately lust after, like first edition copies of the second and third Artemis Fowl books, with the codes across the bottom and ohmygoooood, want.
4. How did you pick which college to go to?
Lesley was the only college that accepted me.
I am not even lying.
5. What is that icon of?
Uhhhhhh...
I don't recall what icon I used at the time, so I'll just assume you mean this one, which is an icon of me, in Boston. Skullx drew it. Because he is *awesome*
Aren:
1. What is you favorite Disney movie?
Still Robin Hood or Lilo and Stitch. I think Wall-E is probably my favourite Pixar movie, though Finding Nemo has some brilliant moments and The Incredibles is Just Good. Ratatoille is the prettiest, but not my fave.
2. Favorite song from the Guitar Hero set?
Oh gods.
From the first one? Jesus. Probably I wanna be Sedated. To play? I wanna be Sedated, the end bit of Bark at the Moon (soooo good!) or Heart Full of Black, or Take it Off, or Godzilla. (Godzilla is my favourite warm-up song)
My favourite to play from any of those is playing Epic, on Drums, in RockBand one. Or singing any Blondie song, since apparently, we have the same range, ohmygodyes.
3. Dr.Pepper or Mountain Dew?
I actively dislike Dr. Pepper. Mountain Dew is pretty good, plus my clone is addicted to it, which means I'm partially addicted to it.
4. You do this there is a Home for Widowed Drumsticks?
*blinks*
This question is syntaxed in such a way that it makes no sense.
I have never broken a drumstick, so I don't need a home for them. Yet.
5. Which name is better, Alizarn or Balthrein?
Oh, Alizarn, totally.
Tho:
Argh. I can't ask personal questions because everything I need/want to know, I know.
That's what happens when you geas yourself to someone and convince them to e-mail you regularly and get behind their walls.
1. What do you think is going to happen in Hijacker's Guide to the Galaxy?
Damned if I know, it hasn't been updated in ages and ages. All I know is that MOOP! will end safe. *swallows nervously*
2. If you could change one physical feature about yourself, which?
That's a terribly dangerous question to ask a me, especially when I've recently spent time with a woman who is the same height as me (technically slightly taller), same bra size, and same hand size and yet still somehow weighs twenty pounds less than I do and am therefore somewhat more bodyissueish than usual.
...Er. I'm fine. No, really!
In truth, I often dislike the fact that my stomach tends to me more round than flat, though if you poke it, it's pretty much still made of solid (thanks kung-fu!) so I don't mind so much anymore. Currently, my least favourite feature is my chin --it displeases me. (This is not searching for affirmation from people. I have many many body parts that are much more fantastic for you all to compliment --my eyes especially. I love my eyes, brown and all)
Okay, having eyes that I could change the colour of would also be pretty wicked awesome. It would please the hell out of Erik, too, as he's convinced he has green eyes.
3. White on black or black on white? (running out of questions now)
Generally white on black, since white is a Bad Colour and stains easily and shouldn't be used as a base.
4. So, um, you come across this lollipop lying on the ground. And you're about to nudge it out of the way and keep on walking when it screams. And you blink, because you've never heard a lollipop scream. It's like the noise you'd expect coming from a donut just as it's dunked in the deep-fryer. And then it cries out, "Don't crush me! Don't crush me! I've got a wife and seven kids!" And so you pick it up and mention that you didn't know that lollipops had families, and he says "Of course they do! Where do you think sherbet dib-dabs come from?"
Anyway, you end up having adventures together. Tell me about them!
....
The adventures are so incredible, I would run into livejournal's word limits if I tried to write them all down here. But I can tell you this much: Dr. Horrible, Tony Stark, Christmas Every Day. Yes.
5. What article of clothing is missing from your wardrobe?
Regency era dancing gown. Or a full gentleman's outfit circa, oh, early to mid eighteen hundreds, I suppose.
Single item? Well, literally, my bright orange moebius scarf. The item I most desperately want in the world though is a real top hat though. Soooo baaaad.
Erika has a gorgeous one. Like...a "I am going to kill you so I can have this hat" gorgeous. So jealous.
I lied, Tho wasn't last. Katters was.1) Pick a song that you feel defines yourself, and explain why.
Basically generally just my entire "Just Be Happy" playlist. Most specifically is probably the Great Big Sea song "Ordinary Day"
"In this beautiful life, there is always some sorrow
And it's a double edged knife, but there's always tomorrow"
I mean...just...yes. That's my motto, my theme, my opinion, There Will Always Be Tomorrow. I love it.
2) Pick a song that you feel defines me, and explain why.
I...
It's easier to pick a song that defines our relationship (Belgium, or that one verse of Time Flies from Wild Blue.) My "Just Want A One-Way Ticket" playlist tends to be mopey, because let's face it, the 'three thousand miles away from that person you want to spend a lot more time with" relationship pretty much is kinda mopey.
I associate Paint it Black exclusively with you. Your song from my "let's pair my entire flist with songs" song is Albuquerque. I don't know that there's a specific song that I have that defines you.
3) What is your weapon of choice?
I don't use 'em often, apparently. Sledgehammer is what my brain says first, but it's lying, I'm not strong enough to consistently lift a sledgehammer. Gabe uses a broadsword, Alis uses some sort of shorter and stockier sword, Gail uses a big fucking medevial axe, and Hyde uses knives. I may use a switchblade pretty regularly. Oh, and a big fucking pistol. I mean like a Mal Reynolds, get your hands off my crew you fucker pistol. That would be pretty sweet.
In the real world, I fight with my hands, and rassle. Luckily, I do not have to do it often.
4) What is your favourite kind of alcohol that you have never tried?
PGGB's, liek duh.
Also, that thing Swing keeps reccing that he says is like candy. I would probably be made extrodinarily nervous by it, since I like being able to taste the booze, but still. Candy!
OH! OH I KNOW!
Those Candy Corn shots that Jannyblue mentioned. :D!
5) In what regard do you feel you are the most knowledgeable or mature? In what regard to you feel you are the most ignorant or immature? Show all work.
I consider myself very knowledgable and reasonably mature in relationships. I also consider myself highly immature in relationships, so go figure.
I used to write far above my age, but that's not really applicable anymore.
I could probably survive reasonably well in the real world, but I'm not sure. Dunno. *shrugs*
What a wonderfully depressing note to end this thing off on. Like Ksatyr's question about awesomosity, I really don't know the correct answer for this. I don't think there really is one. I am an immature fuck up who still winds up being accepted in groups of adults on a fairly regular basis. Many days, I don't know why you lot put up with me. Other days, I know it doesn't matter, so long as you keep me away from the idiots I have to deal with at school on a fairly regular basis.
I guess it balances?
~Sor
MOOP!
The way this works, is you leave me a comment saying 'interview me' or with song lyrics, or whatever. Just comment. I will then ask you five questions, and you will answer them.

Man, that is a hard question to answer! I do not sing so good, so I don't generally think about playing musical roles that awesome. Byck would probably be my absolute favourite to play, though. I need to memorize his monologues.
3. What's your favourite bad movie?
Ooooo. Hard question, 'specially since I've been watching more and more MST3K lately.
Of course, Snakes on a Plane is arguably the greatest cinematic achievement ever to come out of Hollywood. Butyeah. MST3K movies tend to be pretty wonderful. In that horrible sort of way.
4. You're thrown in to a magic portal and come out in a world governed by the D&D laws of reality! (ack!) What character class would you be?
Oh jeeze. probably a ranger or Paladin. Or, youknow, a Sorceress. Not entirely sure of the class, for alignment, I'm pretty sure I'd be chaotic good --I don't mind raising a little hell, just so long as no one gets hurt.
5. If reality TV was taken to its logical extent, would you rather watch Survivor: Jurassic Park or Big Brother: Room 101?
DINOSAURS DINOSAURS DINOSAURS DINOSAURS DINOSAURS YES!
Quanta:
Sorry it took so long - it's midterm week here, and that means studying.
Sorry it took so long to answer! I am merely lazy, though.
1. What classes are you taking next semester?
At the time, I was planning on taking Pre-Calc, Geometry, Characteristics of Children with Special Needs, Art and Craft of the Short Story, and Intro to Physical Science. I am taking all of those this semester 'cept the short story one.
As for next next semester...uhhhh...Calculus (hopefully) and my basic teacher course. Beyond that, nooo idea.
2. Will we see you at Illchester this year?
As, uh, evidenced by the fact that I was there to bridge Blue Canary, yes. You would. Hopefully, I will also be there next year. Because, yay, Illchester. Much love for it.
3. Which is better: Used bookstore or new?
Oh, totally and completely used. Better feel to it, better chance of discovering something new and awesome, and unless it's very high scale, much more affordable.
If it's not more affordable, it's generally because it's packed with things that I can't own, but desperately lust after, like first edition copies of the second and third Artemis Fowl books, with the codes across the bottom and ohmygoooood, want.
4. How did you pick which college to go to?
Lesley was the only college that accepted me.
I am not even lying.
5. What is that icon of?
Uhhhhhh...
I don't recall what icon I used at the time, so I'll just assume you mean this one, which is an icon of me, in Boston. Skullx drew it. Because he is *awesome*
Aren:
1. What is you favorite Disney movie?
Still Robin Hood or Lilo and Stitch. I think Wall-E is probably my favourite Pixar movie, though Finding Nemo has some brilliant moments and The Incredibles is Just Good. Ratatoille is the prettiest, but not my fave.
2. Favorite song from the Guitar Hero set?
Oh gods.
From the first one? Jesus. Probably I wanna be Sedated. To play? I wanna be Sedated, the end bit of Bark at the Moon (soooo good!) or Heart Full of Black, or Take it Off, or Godzilla. (Godzilla is my favourite warm-up song)
My favourite to play from any of those is playing Epic, on Drums, in RockBand one. Or singing any Blondie song, since apparently, we have the same range, ohmygodyes.
3. Dr.Pepper or Mountain Dew?
I actively dislike Dr. Pepper. Mountain Dew is pretty good, plus my clone is addicted to it, which means I'm partially addicted to it.
4. You do this there is a Home for Widowed Drumsticks?
*blinks*
This question is syntaxed in such a way that it makes no sense.
I have never broken a drumstick, so I don't need a home for them. Yet.
5. Which name is better, Alizarn or Balthrein?
Oh, Alizarn, totally.
Tho:
Argh. I can't ask personal questions because everything I need/want to know, I know.
That's what happens when you geas yourself to someone and convince them to e-mail you regularly and get behind their walls.
1. What do you think is going to happen in Hijacker's Guide to the Galaxy?
Damned if I know, it hasn't been updated in ages and ages. All I know is that MOOP! will end safe. *swallows nervously*
2. If you could change one physical feature about yourself, which?
That's a terribly dangerous question to ask a me, especially when I've recently spent time with a woman who is the same height as me (technically slightly taller), same bra size, and same hand size and yet still somehow weighs twenty pounds less than I do and am therefore somewhat more bodyissueish than usual.
...Er. I'm fine. No, really!
In truth, I often dislike the fact that my stomach tends to me more round than flat, though if you poke it, it's pretty much still made of solid (thanks kung-fu!) so I don't mind so much anymore. Currently, my least favourite feature is my chin --it displeases me. (This is not searching for affirmation from people. I have many many body parts that are much more fantastic for you all to compliment --my eyes especially. I love my eyes, brown and all)
Okay, having eyes that I could change the colour of would also be pretty wicked awesome. It would please the hell out of Erik, too, as he's convinced he has green eyes.
3. White on black or black on white? (running out of questions now)
Generally white on black, since white is a Bad Colour and stains easily and shouldn't be used as a base.
4. So, um, you come across this lollipop lying on the ground. And you're about to nudge it out of the way and keep on walking when it screams. And you blink, because you've never heard a lollipop scream. It's like the noise you'd expect coming from a donut just as it's dunked in the deep-fryer. And then it cries out, "Don't crush me! Don't crush me! I've got a wife and seven kids!" And so you pick it up and mention that you didn't know that lollipops had families, and he says "Of course they do! Where do you think sherbet dib-dabs come from?"
Anyway, you end up having adventures together. Tell me about them!
....
The adventures are so incredible, I would run into livejournal's word limits if I tried to write them all down here. But I can tell you this much: Dr. Horrible, Tony Stark, Christmas Every Day. Yes.
5. What article of clothing is missing from your wardrobe?
Regency era dancing gown. Or a full gentleman's outfit circa, oh, early to mid eighteen hundreds, I suppose.
Single item? Well, literally, my bright orange moebius scarf. The item I most desperately want in the world though is a real top hat though. Soooo baaaad.
Erika has a gorgeous one. Like...a "I am going to kill you so I can have this hat" gorgeous. So jealous.
I lied, Tho wasn't last. Katters was.1) Pick a song that you feel defines yourself, and explain why.
Basically generally just my entire "Just Be Happy" playlist. Most specifically is probably the Great Big Sea song "Ordinary Day"
"In this beautiful life, there is always some sorrow
And it's a double edged knife, but there's always tomorrow"
I mean...just...yes. That's my motto, my theme, my opinion, There Will Always Be Tomorrow. I love it.
2) Pick a song that you feel defines me, and explain why.
I...
It's easier to pick a song that defines our relationship (Belgium, or that one verse of Time Flies from Wild Blue.) My "Just Want A One-Way Ticket" playlist tends to be mopey, because let's face it, the 'three thousand miles away from that person you want to spend a lot more time with" relationship pretty much is kinda mopey.
I associate Paint it Black exclusively with you. Your song from my "let's pair my entire flist with songs" song is Albuquerque. I don't know that there's a specific song that I have that defines you.
3) What is your weapon of choice?
I don't use 'em often, apparently. Sledgehammer is what my brain says first, but it's lying, I'm not strong enough to consistently lift a sledgehammer. Gabe uses a broadsword, Alis uses some sort of shorter and stockier sword, Gail uses a big fucking medevial axe, and Hyde uses knives. I may use a switchblade pretty regularly. Oh, and a big fucking pistol. I mean like a Mal Reynolds, get your hands off my crew you fucker pistol. That would be pretty sweet.
In the real world, I fight with my hands, and rassle. Luckily, I do not have to do it often.
4) What is your favourite kind of alcohol that you have never tried?
PGGB's, liek duh.
Also, that thing Swing keeps reccing that he says is like candy. I would probably be made extrodinarily nervous by it, since I like being able to taste the booze, but still. Candy!
OH! OH I KNOW!
Those Candy Corn shots that Jannyblue mentioned. :D!
5) In what regard do you feel you are the most knowledgeable or mature? In what regard to you feel you are the most ignorant or immature? Show all work.
I consider myself very knowledgable and reasonably mature in relationships. I also consider myself highly immature in relationships, so go figure.
I used to write far above my age, but that's not really applicable anymore.
I could probably survive reasonably well in the real world, but I'm not sure. Dunno. *shrugs*
What a wonderfully depressing note to end this thing off on. Like Ksatyr's question about awesomosity, I really don't know the correct answer for this. I don't think there really is one. I am an immature fuck up who still winds up being accepted in groups of adults on a fairly regular basis. Many days, I don't know why you lot put up with me. Other days, I know it doesn't matter, so long as you keep me away from the idiots I have to deal with at school on a fairly regular basis.
I guess it balances?
~Sor
MOOP!

About the only room I've consistently wanted for myself *besides* a ballroom or a ballroom is a craftroom/study. BIG frigging table, all manner of shelves and filing cabinets and spare computers and craftstuff and space to write and hang out and screw around andyeah. Recording stuff, for music, and a piano. Sewing bits and pieces.
I SO want this (well pretty much just for crafts and sewing, not so worried about music. If any of my children move completely out of my house someday I plan to have it *grin*
Love,

I know what makes you awesome! Well, one very important way, anyhoo... The way you reach out to people; make them feel noticed & loved even as they feel like cellophane. That alone totally makes you the mostest Awesomest person i know. *hugglebugglewuggles*
Orange, and easy to knit with. Though there is this amazing fluffy yarn that knits really well with two strands of it mixed together. Bother me for pictures sometime, 'kay?
Anything like the skein i slipped you at Assassinscon?
I only knit my WhoScarf, because I don't know how to start or end it or anything else. Sigh.
See? Reason Fiftyeleven why you must come back!
I
CAN
FIX
IT!

Well, literally, my bright orange moebius scarf.
*ferret cackles*
Sledgehammer is what my brain says first,
See, See? Reason Fiftyeleven and One why you have to come back: to fondle W's sledgehammer *nods*
5) What is the best question to ask for the final question?
"When should I come to Boston to visit?"
Alrighty, then! When, then?
