(no subject)
[for all the bullshit surveys and questionnaires that float around the net written by twerps and chumps, few have come close to the one featured every month in VF, but since most of us will never grace those pages, since we're nobodies ourselves, we might as well answer those here and now.]
1. What is your idea of perfect happiness?
- Being corseted up tight, in heels, in very high drag, while very high, on Halloween, in San Francisco, at a Cramps show, right up front, with Xtine. And it's always 2002.
Or any time I've been to see the Polyphonic Spree.

- Pensive
7. On what occasion do you lie?

18. Where would you like to live?

It would be great to see everyone's answers to this. I would especially enjoy reading answers from malderor , sirwilliam, and soymlk, as they are the least likely to do it.
