In a bold and courageous attempt not to do homework...

I shall update now.

the rules:

1. Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2. I will respond; I'll ask you 5 questions.
3. You'll update your journal with my 5 questions, and your 5 answers.
4. You'll include this explanation.
5. You'll ask other people 5 questions when they want to be interviewed.

Here are the 5 questions from Vivian (nirnaeth) and my answers.

1. if there was a fire and you had the chance to rescue only three of your things (parents, siblings, pets excluded), what would you rescue?

I was thinking about this. Most of what I've got is replaceable. Even books. You can always buy new copies. The nice thing about Livejournal is that the majority of my writing is accessible from anywhere. And I've emailed around and printed out and given to people any other writing I'd want to save, so I could just ask for the copies. I'd save my laptop, actually, cos I don't think that's insured and it'd be quite annoying to replace. And my driver's permit, same reason. But most importantly I'd save my copy of Angels in America, because I keep all my letters between the pages of that book.

2. when you've passed away, what would you like your gravestone to say?

'Fuck you.' Like in The Catcher in the Rye. Well, actually, I couldn't do that, my descendants would be too embarrassed to go and visit it. So, seriously - 'I don't know.' That's probably the best thing to put on it, because I quite honestly don't know. No, that's rubbish, nobody wants that kind of thing. How about my name and the dates, and I hope to be in the kind of situation by the time I die that that information speaks for itself.

3. if you were a superhero, what would be your name, how would you look and what would be your special powers?

I would be the Invisible Man, only not psychotic and insane. I would be able to go invisible at will and walk through doors and pick locks mentally. It'd be brilliant. I would look, of course, like the Invisible Man.

4. if you could chose what to be in your next life, what would you be?

This is quite easy. A penguin.

5. what about your life are you most eager to change, if anything?

I want to live on my own terms in my own home on my own money. I want perfect independence, perfect responsibility. Right now I go to a school I hate so I can hopefully go to a college that I don't hate. But a lot of what I do is determined by my family. In a way it's reassuring to have someone tell you what you can do and what you can't, but in a way it's also bad, I'm thinking it's better to take responsibility for what you are, rather than what you were made to be.
