Oooooo! More interviews!
So first of all, cool thing happened. Maya, who I met in the bathroom during All-State Choir my junior year because she and another All-State friend, Sabrina, were talking about fanfic, IMed me this morning. Woohoo!
second, I have more interview questions that I forgot about! Woohoo!
From dearest, dearest murph_grrl.
1) Which constellation do you identify most with, and why?
Ooh, that is a good one! From my limited astronomical repertoire, I'd say... Pleiades. First of all, cause it's really fun to spell or say. And we all know I'm a spelling bee queen. Second, because it's in the middle of another constellation (even though I can't remember which), and I sometimes feel like I'm in the middle of things -- not like things revolve around me, understand. That I'm stuck in the middle. Also, because it's enigmatic. When you look at it out of the corner of your eye, you see so much, but then when you see it straight on, you can't see all the stars. It takes a lot of hard work and a lot of deep gazing to know me, and I can't be known in just one quick front-on glance.
2) What do you like best about Brandeis so far?
Two things:
One, that everyone here is so much like me that for once, I have lots of similar friends instead of being the one everyone's kinda looking sideways at and being detachedly nice to.
Two, that it's a clean slate to rewrite yourself and your public persona completely. No one knows what stupid clothes I wore in 7th grade, or what I looked like in 4th grade. That is really cool. Specifically about Brandeis, I also love how everyone here is really, really friendly. Everyone likes being here. I love my RA, and I love the Jewishness, of course. I don't like that we have a pot problem here, though. I learned last night that this is one of few schools that has a bigger smoking problem than drinking. Which especially sucks because it seems like all the guys I go for turn out to be smokers. Losers!
3) You can live your life for 24 hours - consequence free. No one will remember what you've done except you. What do you do?
I'd probably try getting high, and for sure I'd do the Murray thing (and just do the Murray, too, I'd think). I'd like to drink till I pass out, and, stealing from Linz, maybe be in a porno. One that only existed for those 24 hours. I'd go clubbing and flirt with sketchy characters, and if I got angry, I'd see just how strong crew really has made me by trying to beat someone up. Yeah, I'd totally get in a fight. But only with fists.
I'd insult the President to his face and perhaps try selling myself. I might put up some graffiti somewhere. I'd stay up all night and all the next day. And I would dance barefoot in the grass. Or snow.
4) If you could be any fictional character in any show, movie, book, or play, who would you be and why? (Name the character and the source).
Hmmm... I find myself turning back again and again to Isthia, from Anne McCaffrey's Rowan series, because she's just really, really cool. She knows everything about everything, she's a ... hermit in luxury, she has her own huge house and a pond with fish, and her kids are all amazing and prominent Talents in the FT&T. Or maybe I'd like to be a goddess from Celtic mythology. Or Athena, because of her wisdom, her power, her gray eyes, and cause she got the capital of Greece named for her! Aeryn Sun of Farscape, because she's gorgeous, tougher than shit, and gets to fall in love with John Crichton. Can you tell I don't make decisions well?
5) You find out that BNL is playing one show only with Andy Creeggan, Fruvous has gotten back together for one show only, and Darrell has returned to GBS for one show only - and all three shows are on the same day at the same time at different clubs in different towns. All three bands swear this will never happen again. You can go to one show. Which do you choose and why?
Fruvous. Definitely. This is the one easy decision out of all these questions. They're not still performing, even with different members.
I've seen GBS with Darrell, so I at least have him in my memory. I hadn't heard of BNL till after Kevin had joined, so Andy really was never in my conception or paradigm of BNL. But Fru... well, first of all, as of this second, I'm just thinking, "Well, Fru for Murray, duh," but it's more than that. I'd love to see those guys' dynamic on stage. They all seem incredibly intelligent, plus, they'd perform in smaller places than like, BNL -- and they cuss so much more than BNL. I've decided that my new term is that I cuss like a Frulad. And the potshots at the audience, and the intimacy of the small venues, so that I'd get to see them really close, and plus, of course, the Murray factor. But mostly just because they seem really, really funny. And the small venue thing. Lots of close, yummy pictures. And meeting Murray. As well as Mike, Dave, and Jian. Plus, a bunch of Fruvous fans seem like they'd be right up the freaky-weirdo side of my alley. All in all, I say Fruvous.
Had a bit of a scare just now trying to return my books. The downside of going to Jew U is that so much of the place closes down on Friday nights for Shabbat. So instead of 5 or 6pm, the bookstore closes at 4 on Fridays. But I got in there, even if the girl at the register bitched at me. That's a lot of money I just saved, honey.
My chair's creaky. It's annoying. And I've got shin splints. I think it's 'cause I haven't lifted in two weeks, so I'm going tonight.
And I've decided to make BSes much less important. Although I'm sure that resolve will disappear promptly as soon as I see him again. Sigh...
second, I have more interview questions that I forgot about! Woohoo!
