Five Questions Meme ...
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me." (I will possibly destroy you if you say something else.)
2. I will respond by asking you 5 questions of a personal nature.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed you will ask them 5 questions.
1. Has there ever been a rude celebrity you've had to work with?
Wellll, it depends on your definition of rude, but yes. I mean, it's a very gray area, because there are just some people who, especially when they're near performing or trying to get ready or whatever, that just can't help being a bit prickly or standoffish. Sally Field for instance, not very warm, but not really rude and I think it was because she was really quite nervous. On the other hand you have some people, like Mark Feuerstein, who's generally a nice guy at times but can say the most rude things without thinking it in a very jellyfish manner. There's people like Merle Dandridge, who is the prickliest person at times, and can be just downright rude, especially if you get in her way or do something she perceives as annoying. But if you're willing to try and be polite and get past that outer layer, she can be a sweetheart ... And then there's a very small caste of people who can just be outright rude. Off the top of my head, I can only think of one or two people who have ever truly been straight up rude with no redeeming qualities, but none of them are celebrities. Really, for the most part you'd be surprised how many actors/performers who are well known are just friendly and easy to work with, and pleased that you're there to help.
2. Favourite Whoniverse minor/one-off character?
One off? It would have to be Sally Sparrow, of course. But you know me! I have much <3 for her.
3. What is the view from your bedroom window?
It looks out over the heater outside onto a grassy knoll with a white picket fence, sidewalk and then a very large four lane street with a big grassy median in the center, then another sidewalk and a pond and then a small industrial complex with a Progressive office being directly across from me. The office buildings are a bit blocked by the trees on the median, though. It's surprisingly lovely, for all that it's looking out on the street. I wish I were in one of the buildings on the other side of the apartment complex, because then I would look out onto gorgeous open space. But what can you do, at least it is very nearby!
4. If you had a daemon, what animal do you think it would be?
Hm. Well, it wouldn't just be an animal I liked, it would have to be an animal that really fit my spirit, yes? So maybe a small wild cat of some sort, perhaps ... Like an Iriomote cat. ^^ Or a raccoon? They're pretty feisty and inquisitive. Or perhaps a Polar Bear or an Arctic Fox, just because that would be awesome. I'm not sure ...
5. Have you ever seen a ghost/had a paranormal experience?
Well, I don't think I've ever seen a ghost, but I don't discount the fact that I get creeped out at times for random reasons. There was also that incident in high school with one of our plays where the projector kept turning on and off and eating the tape and we were all convinced that it was a ghost.
Also, as you know, I work in theatre, so there's always a theatre ghost. Always.
