Too sick for an original post
Questions by Proust. Answers by me.
IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOURSELF, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Right now, I definitely would not be sick. As a whole, I would write more and surf the web less. Which means I would not be filling this out right now. I would also exercise more. I've started doing yoga again, though. I didn't realize I was so out of shape until two nights ago when I started my first "back to yoga" podcast. Looks like I have a good place to start on what I'm going to change!
WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER YOUR GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT?
My greatest achievement was having a short story I wrote published. If you send me a message, I'll even let you read it.
WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO LIVE?
I'm living there! New Orleans, Baby!
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE FICTIONAL HERO?
My favorite fictional hero is Crowley from Good Omens. (I would also like to add Sylar from Heroes and Mal from Firefly. Should I worry that they're not really heroes?)
WHO ARE YOUR REAL-LIFE HEROES?
I really like Amanda Palmer. I also like Antoinette, a goth model in Tampa. My friend Bethany is one of my heroes. And, David Carradine, but he's dead.
WHAT IS THE QUALITY YOU MOST ADMIRE IN A MAN?
A good sense of humor.
WHAT IS THE QUALITY YOU MOST ADMIRE IN A WOMAN?
I'd have to say nice boobs. Sorry... Although, a good artistic sense and fearlessness are both up there.
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST FEAR?
Right now? That I'll run out of money and get in trouble for it.
WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT STATE OF MIND?
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE OCCUPATION?(WAY OF SPENDING TIME)
I would say writing, but realistically it's probably pretending to write and really watching movies and TV shows online.
WHAT HISTORICAL FIGURE DO YOU MOST IDENTIFY WITH?
John Waters. I'm going to count him as an historical figure.
WHICH LIVING PERSON DO YOU MOST ADMIRE?
There are tons of people. I'm going to say any writer who has managed to write a book, find an agent, land an editor, revise revise revise, and get it published.
WHAT IS YOUR MOST TREASURED POSSESSION?
The Shiva-Pope shrine that is currently in my car. In my old apartment it was a good hiding place for bugs. I think the freezing weather killed anything that might be in it, but I'm too chicken to take a chance with it.
WHEN AND WHERE WERE YOU HAPPIEST?
Right here, right now.
WHAT IS YOUR MOST OBVIOUS CHARACTERISTIC?
I'm fat. I have a habit of saying outlandish, traumatizing things.
WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU MOST DEPLORE (HATE) IN YOURSELF?
My inability to sit down and finish my novel so it's publishable.
WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU MOST DEPLORE IN OTHERS?
close mindedness
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST EXTRAVAGANCE?
Right now, food. Normally, either expensive cheese or MAC cosmetics.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE JOURNEY?
wandering around New Orleans
WHAT DO YOU MOST DISLIKE ABOUT YOUR APPEARANCE?
I look awesome.
WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER THE MOST OVER-RATED VIRTUE?
chastity
ON WHAT OCCASION DO YOU LIE?
Only in weird occasions that make no sense, like the first time I had a sit-down with my new rabbi and for some reason tried to gloss over the fact that I converted by saying I was Jewish and trying to make it seem like my parents were Jewish until I gave up and told him I converted.
WHICH WORDS OR PHRASES DO YOU MOST OVER-USE?
Like, apparently, I don't know.
WHAT IS IT YOU MOST DISLIKE?
Conservatives.
WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST IN YOUR FRIENDS?
Spontaneous adventures.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO DIE?
In my sleep would be nice.
IF YOU WERE TO DIE AND COME BACK AS A PERSON OR AN ANIMAL, WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE?
I would probably be a cat. They are awesome. Hopefully not a dung beetle. That would suck.
IF YOU COULD CHOOSE AN OBJECT TO COME BACK AS, WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
I would like to be a fancy fountain pen.
WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO (WORDS YOU LIVE BY OR THAT MEAN A LOT TO YOU)?
I've always liked "Of all the things I've ever lost, I miss my mind the most."
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INFLUENCE ON YOU?
Gamers have been the greatest influence on my artistic life, surprisingly enough. Josh spurred me to do some great things, because he's such a douche. Bethany had a good influence on getting me to break out of my shell and do some pretty awesome things.
