(no subject)
I'm bored. Time to take a poll!
1. Time is relative; what time do you want it to be?
Right now works for me; I'm more interested in what's going to happen
than in re-living the past. Though I'd admittedly like to go back and
experience a number of things again, as well as do other things
differently from how I did them then.
2. While you're at it, go ahead, change your name to the one you always wanted:
Nah, I like mine.
3. Speaking of relativity, ever dreamed about Einstein?
Nope. Not my type.
4. On the subject of names, do you know your Star Wars name?
No. Why should I care?
5. If you answered yes to #4, do you embrace your inner geek and take her/him out for regular exercise?
I don't think this applies to me. I let my inner geek out when I'm at work though; that's who they hired.
6. Have you always lived on Earth?
Yes, I had a sheltered childhood.
7. Do you believe in extra-terrestrial life?
Yep.
8. Well, they believe in you, and now they've invited you to their home world. With no guarantee of a return ticket, would you go?
Probably.
9. If you could live anywhere on Earth, where would you live:
Assuming no language barriers, and no need to work for a living, I think I'd settle for one of the mountain states (Montana, Wyoming) or the southwest (Arizona, New Mexico). Or maybe rural, coastal Japan or Stockholm, Sweden.
10. Are you now, have you ever been, or do you dream of being an Elvis impersonator?
No. Kindly shoot me if that happens.
11. Who might you have been in a previous life:
Probably a nobody, sadly -- an ordinary craftsman or artisan.
12. What was your birthday:
Highly unremarkable.
13. Are your favorite things animal, vegetable or mineral:
Animal.
14. Bright, shiny or glittery:
Shiny
15. Time to go shopping. Boutiques, the mall or online:
Online, in general. Depends to some extent what I'm shopping for though;
for some things, like clothes, I really want to look at and feel the fabric
before I buy.
16. Actor/celebrity that tempts you enough to consider changing your sexual orientation, if just for one night:
Can't really think of anyone. I'm not saying there isn't one, just that I don't
remember ever seeing anyone.
17. Character -- book, film/TV -- that you really, really wish was real, if just for one night:
Jack Ryan :-)
18. Rich or famous:
Rich. Then fame will follow, should I so choose.
19. Famous or infamous:
Infamous. More interesting that way.
20. Would you spy for your country?
Sure.
21. If you are, or have ever been, a spy for your country would you admit it?
No, why would I?
22. Least favorite colour:
Pale green, especially when combined with yellow.
23. Food you hate most:
Liver
24. Worst movie(s):
Can't really say. I tend to pick the movies I see carefully, and am very rarely let down
25. TV show(s) you detest:
The West Wing
26. We've all got guilty pleasures. Film/TV or book series that, rationally, you know is so bad it can curdle milk but you can't help but to watch/read anyway:
South Park and The Man Show, both on Comedy Central.
27. Actor and/or celebrity you would pay to slap:
I'm a lover, not a fighter. And I can think of better ways to spend my money. That said, Rosie O'Donnell is annoying enough to make me consider making an exception from my principles.
28. You've been offered a job that pays obscenely well. It's in porn. Would you accept the job offer?
Sure, why not? I've accepted less ethical jobs for less than obscene amounts of money :-)
29. Didn't say you had to star. What if it was in production, advertising, sales and distribution...?
Again, sure. I'd do everything different though. I'd hire someone who can write to do the script, cast performers who can act and create steamy scenes, hire photographers who aren't legally blind, and so on.
30. If the opportunity arose, and you could get away with it, would you commit immeasurable acts of violence -- so horrific as to permanently scar the homicide detectives who will later work the case -- on Harry Knowles?
I don't know who Harry Knowles is. But no, I would not.
31. If not Knowles, then who:
Nobody, really. Lover, not fighter, remember.
32. Do you believe that the base ingredient in both Coke and Pepsi is carbonated battery acid?
No.
33. Remember the cartoon strip the above question references?
No.
34. Last comic book you read:
Pogo
35. If you could be any comic book hero or villain, who would you be?
Pogo.
36. Rice, potatoes or bread:
Potatoes. Sliced, with garlic and olive oil, oven-baked.
37. Whipped cream, chocolate sauce or melted caramel:
Yes please
38. Who would you most like to lick #37 off of:
This shall remain undisclosed.
39. Addicted?
Yes.
40. Conflicted?
Oh yes.
41. Ever poked a badger with a spoon?
Huh? No.
42. Can you name the person #41 references:
No.
43. Think he's a god?
Dunno.
44. Think you're a god?
Sometimes, when I'm having a good day. Not sure of what though.
45. Ever been one toke over the line?
Huh? No.
46. Ever been one toke over the line while sitting downtown at a railway station?
Huh? No.
47. Have you ever done anything for which you *should* have been convicted?
No. *Could*, yes, definitely, except they wouldn't have prosecuted. The law in questions makes no distinction between heterosexual and homosexual, but prosecutors do. Good for me, I suppose, but it still sucks. Which, incidentally, is what the offense in question was all about. :->
48. Planning to take over the world?
Nope. I know my limits.
49. What're gonna do with it if you're successful:
Sell it on ebay.
50. Are you only happy when it rains?
No.
51. Most importantly, apples or oranges:
Apples.
