Interview meme
mandysbitch asked me:
1. What's a book you've always meant to read but you can never get around to doing it?
'Crow Road' by Iain Banks. I've been told so many times that I'd like it, and I have a copy at home, but I just never seem to get around to it.
2. What's worse, ironing your clothes, doing the dishes or vacuuming?
Definitely ironing clothes. I hate it and really suck at it, especially when it comes to doing shirts. I enjoying doing the dishes, and hoovering isn't so bad. Mostly when I was a student I didn't iron anything. My excuse was "my body heat will take the creases out!". Classy.
3. What's a pairing that you loved in the day and can't stomach now?
While I wouldn't quite say I couldn't stomach it now, the most accurate answer to this is probably Janeway/Chakotay. For me it was probably more about Janeway love than anything else. Beltran is a twat, and so much about the show annoys me now, on the rare occasion that I catch a repeat.
4. Where was the last place you had a cocktail (or a glass of wine, beer, eh - fruit punch?)?
Probably my house. I make a mean Cosmopolitan, and have excellent cocktail glasses and a shaker. They have become a bit of a weekend ritual.
5. Rock journalist, war correspondent, court beat or parliamentary media gallery - which would you prefer if you had to go into the journalistic profession?
I like this question! I'm torn between rock journalist (cos man, how cool would that be!) and parliamentary media gallery, because part of me is always a political geek. I guess since its fantasy I'll go with the former!
And if anyone else is so inclined:
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better. If I already know you well, expect the questions may be a little more intimate!
3. You will update your lj with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
