Interview!! By Whelp.
Y'know, Paul gives Whelp a bunch of beautiful, thoughtful questions about himself and how he thinks and lives in the world. I ask Whelp to interview me, and...
1.) It's a widely believed fact that you're gay. What's not as well known is that you have a "short list" of women that you'd be willing to set aside your wacky homosexual notions for. Who's on it, and why?
Ok. This question is sort of based on a false premise. I honestly have never really met any girl that I've wanted to sleep with in the same way that I've wanted to sleep with a guy. The people that I've placed on my "short list" (Tori Amos, at one point...umm...other famous people) are mostly people that I have no chance of ever meeting, but who I think would be cool. More interesting (and shorter) is the list of women with whom I've been in sexual situations. But. Y'know. I don't kiss and tell.
In fact, the only passion I've ever had for a woman was destined to fail from before I was bore. Truly, destiny and fate both conspired against my all-consuming passion for Alice B. Toklas. And with her, died my only chance at happiness with a woman.
2.) I've just given you a big-ass bomb and permission to blow up one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It's time to dispense some good old-fashioned American cultural insensitivity. What gets blown up?
Oooh. Um. What ARE the seven wonders of the world now? The seven wonders of the classical world? Umm. Most of those are gone already. The seven wonders of the natural world? Besides my undying hatred for Niagara Falls, I don't think I'd want to see any of the seven wonders blown up. If I could just blow up a monument period...um...I've never liked the Washington Monument. Honestly. It looks stupid. I'd blow it up and replace it with something much cooler. I'm not sure what yet.
3.) You graduated from UC Berkeley, with a major in Japanese literature. You've spent time in Japan, and you're passable at speaking the language. You often watch Japanese movies, and you occasionally read manga. As an American who has immersed himself in Japanese culture, and seen the differences between the two, what is your favorite color?
Actually, I graduated from UC Berkeley with a major in English. But I get what you mean. My favorite color is deep sky blue. The implied question I feel neither interested in answering, nor qualified to do so.
4.) You've just been given a map of the Amazon, and on it you've found an area marked as the Valley of Extremely Well-Hung Cannibals. Do you go, despite the risks? If so, what precautions do you take?
Umm. I resent the implication that I'd go galavanting off to some far off corner of the globe just to meet crazed cannibals who might or might not have sex with me. I also resent the implication that I'd bring barbecue sauce.
5.) Which of the following would you most prefer?
A.) A puppy
B.) A pretty flower from your sweetie
C.) A large, properly formatted data file?
B.
If you want me to interview you--post a comment that simply says, "Interview me." I'll respond with questions for you to take back to your own journal and answer as a post. Of course, they'll be different for each person since this is an interview and not a general survey. At the bottom of your post, after answering the Interviewer's questions, you ask if anyone wants to be interviewed. So it becomes your turn-- in the comments, you ask them any questions you have for them to take back to their journals and answer. And so it becomes the circle.
