Be kind to me, or treat me mean....
Saw this on i_am_may's journal, so I nabbed it.
1. IF YOU COULD HAVE ANYTHING DELIVERED TO YOUR DOORSTEP EACH MORNING, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Probably a new and obscure book for me to read, like Home School by Charles Webb.
2. SUPPOSE THAT RIGHT NOW YOU COULD BE AT YOUR FAVORITE VACATION SPOT, READING YOUR FAVORITE BOOK, LISTENING TO YOUR FAVORITE CD, & EATING YOUR FAVORITE FOOD. WHAT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICES FOR THOSE 4 CATEGORIES, AND WHO, IF ANYONE, WOULD BE WITH YOU?
I would probably be sitting by the pool in the sun in Maui, reading The Virgin Suicides, listening to the Ditty Bops and eating some fresh fruit.
3. WHICH ANIMATED CHARACTER IS YOUR ALL-TIME FAVORITE?
Um, I love Darkwing Duck quite a bit and when I was little I told my parents I was going to marry him. Now, I'd probably say someone like Sailor Moon or Dean Venture.
4. IF YOU HAD TO WRITE A BRIEF MESSAGE ON A DOLLAR BILL THAT MANY PEOPLE WOULD EVENTUALLY SEE AS THE CURRENCY CIRCULATES, WHAT MESSAGE WOULD YOU WRITE?
4 8 15 16 23 42
5. YOU'VE BEEN ASKED TO CREATE A BRAND NEW ROAD SIGN THAT WILL BE PUT UP ON THE STREETS THROUGHOUT YOUR TOWN. PEOPLE IN YOUR TOWN WILL BE EXPECTED TO OBEY IT JUST AS THEY WOULD ANY OTHER ROAD SIGN. WHAT WILL YOUR NEW SIGN COMMAND DRIVERS TO DO?
Tailgaters will be forced to pay higher taxes.
6. IF YOU WERE LEFT ALONE FOR ONE HOUR WITH NOTHING MORE THAN A PEN AND A NOTEPAD, WHAT WOULD YOU BE INCLINED TO DRAW OR WRITE DURING THOSE 60 MINUTES?
Probably something dirty, as my mind is permanently in the gutter.
7. IF YOU COULD WITNESS ANYTHING AT ALL IN SUPER-SLOW MOTION, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO SEE?
Super-slow motion? Um, I don't know. I guess anything involving Milla Jovovich is good.
8. SUPPOSE YOU'RE AT A PARTY WHERE YOU MEET AN ALERT & ASTUTE 100-YEAR-OLD PERSON. SINCE EVERYONE WANTS TO TALK TO THIS PERSON, YOU ONLY HAVE TIME TO ASK ONE QUESTION. WHAT WOULD YOU ASK?
To quote Sarah Silverman, are you mad because your grandson is gay?
9. IN ONE SENTENCE, WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS THE SECRET TO LIFE?
You do what you love, and fuck the rest.
10. IF SOMEONE WERE LOOKING FOR YOU IN A BOOKSTORE, IN WHAT SECTION WOULD THEY BE MOST LIKELY TO FIND YOU?
Probably looking at Stephen King novels and Hard Case Crime books, or maybe the GLBT or Sex sections.
11. OVER THE LAST 200 YEARS OR SO, THE WORLD HAS ADVANCED AND CHANGED IN MANY WAYS. NONETHELESS, CAN YOU THINK OF AT LEAST ONE ASPECT OF LIFE THAT HAS REMAINED VIRTUALLY UNCHANGED THROUGHOUT THE LAST 2 CENTURIES?
People are still mostly motivated by the same desires, which are usually selfish.
12. RANK THE 4 SEASONS IN ORDER FROM YOUR FAVE TO LEAST FAVE:
Summer, spring, autumn, winter.
13. IN YOUR OWN NOT-SO-HUMBLE OPINION, WHAT IS YOUR MOST LIKABLE QUALITY?
Um, well, if my friends tell me something important, they know that I will take them seriously. That, or my incredibly creative wit.
14. WHAT MONTH OF THE YEAR DOES YOUR NOSE ANTICIPATE MOST? WHY?
Spring or summer is good, because I love all those wonderful-smelling flowers.
15. WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU USED TO LOVE TO DO BUT HAVE OUTGROWN OR GOTTEN TIRED OF?
Stuffed animals, most definitely. I still have tons of them at home, but I don't really see any purpose for them now.
16. IF YOU WERE A FISH, WHAT BAIT WOULD SOMEONE USE TO CATCH YOU VERY QUICKLY?
Vegan "meat." I inhale that stuff.
17. IF YOU WERE A TREE, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR FAVORITE MONTH OF THE YEAR?
August or September when my leaves would start to change.
18. WHAT IS ONE EVENT THAT MANY PEOPLE CONSIDER ENTERTAINING THAT YOU PERSONALLY WOULD HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME SITTING THROUGH FROM THE BEGINNING TO END?
A Lord of the Rings marathon.
19. IF YOU WERE A CONTESTANT ON A TRIVIA-STYLE GAME SHOW, WHAT CATEGORY WOULD YOU MOST WANT TO SEE DISPLAYED WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION?
Probably film trivia, especially cult films.
20. WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU ENJOY DOING THAT WOULD PROBABLY SURPRISE MANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY KNOW YOU WELL?
Reading dirty books maybe? Not like romance novels that feature Scottish men in kilts having sex with women in between spouting ridiculous dialogue, but books like Nancy Madore's Enchanted that are just plain dirty and clever.
21. WHAT CREATURE, MORE THAN ANY OTHER, WOULD HAVE YOU SCARED STIFF IF IT WERE LOOSE IN YOUR HOME?
I'm not really sure, I like most animals, but most likely cockroaches or scorpions.
22. IF YOU COULD GREATLY ENHANCE ANY ONE OF YOUR 5 SENSES, WHICH ONE WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Touch, I'd like my skin to be more sensitive to the touch.
23. IF YOU COULD TAKE ONE ETHNIC CUSTOM THAT IS POPULAR IN ANOTHER COUNTRY & POPULARIZE IT IN YOUR OWN CULTURE, WHICH WOULD YOU PICK?
Not sure exactly what custom it would be, but either something from China or India. Most Asian countries have a lot more reverence for things, so it would be nice to maybe have more respect for people and faith in the United States. And not in an evangelical way.
24. WHEN YOU MEET SOMEONE FOR THE FIRST TIME, WHAT PARTICULAR FACET ABOUT THEM ARE YOU MOST INTERESTED IN LEARNING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE?
Now, I would probably say sexual orientation. I have no gaydar, and if I had realized she was bi before she had a boyfriend, I probably would have hit on Emily more.
25. IF YOU CAME INTO ENOUGH MONEY THAT YOU NEVER HAD TO WORK ANOTHER DAY IN YOUR LIFE, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD TYPICALLY DO TO STAY BUSY OR KEEP YOUR MIND OCCUPIED?
I'd spend some time being a professional grad student like Buster Bluth, soak up the sun in hot places like California, Florida, and Hawaii, travel the world, and shop like a maniac so my wardrobe was as lovely as Blair Waldorf's.
26. IF ANY PARTICULAR MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE COULD HAVE LASTED 5 MINUTES LONGER, WHAT MOMENT WOULD YOU HAVE WANTED IT TO HAVE BEEN?
No particular moment, but I would give anything for five more minutes with my grandma.
27. IF A MOVIE WERE BEING MADE ABOUT YOUR LIFE, AND YOU COULD CHOOSE ANY ACTOR TO PLAY YOU IN THE FILM, WHOM WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
There aren't many well-known Asian actors, much less half-Asian actors, so I honestly don't know. If I was purely a white girl, I'd say Leighton Meester, the same actress who should play Ramona Flowers.
29. IF YOU COULD INSTANTLY FREE YOUR MIND FOREVER OF SOMETHING THAT CAUSES YOU STRESS IN LIFE, WHAT WORRY WOULD YOU GET RID OF?
Worrying what my parents will think of my sex life and orientation.
30. IF YOU HAD TO RENAME THE STREET YOU LIVE ON, WHAT WOULD YOU NAME IT?
Tabula Rasa
31. IF YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THE REAL-LIFE OWNER OF ANY TV OR MOVIE ANIMAL, WHICH ONE WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Does Klaus from American Dad count?
32. WHAT IS ONE THING YOU THOROUGHLY ENJOY THAT A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WOULD PROBABLY CONSIDER TRITE & BORING AT BEST?
Paul Thomas Anderson films.
33. WHAT PARTICULAR FACIAL FEATURE OF YOURS DO YOU PERSONALLY ADMIRE MOST?
Well, apparently I have "dick-sucking lips," which is always a plus.
34. LIST THE 5 THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPIEST IN LIFE:
Creative films, homoerotic ships that become canon (Mylar!), body stuff that smells like food, happy animals, and cute dorks.
35. IF YOU COULD RECIEVE FREE, UNLIMITED AIRLINE FLIGHTS FROM YOUR NEAREST AIRPORT TO ANY ONE DESTINATION IN THE WORLD, TO WHAT PLACE WOULD YOU BE FREQUENTLY FLYING?
I think somewhere around Los Angeles. Lots of shopping and apparently all the stylish lesbians congregate there.
36. IF YOU HAD TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT WOULD TAKE THE PLACE OF A WEDDING BAND TO SERVE AS AN OBJECT OF UNION & COMMITMENT FOR MARRIAGE, WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Tattoos like Shane and Carmen's.
37. SUPPOSE THAT INCOME TAXES STILL HAD TO BE PAID, BUT INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE GOVERNMENT, YOUR MONEY WOULD GO TO ANY ONE CAUSE OR CHARITY OF YOUR CHOICE. WHERE WOULD YOU WANT YOURS TO GO?
There are too many charities to list, but probably either PETA or HRC. Actually, just some organization that focuses on human rights and gets people out of Guantanamo.
38. IF YOU COULD ELIMINATE ONE GENRE OF MUSIC, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Shitty music. Like 90's boy bands and R&B shitty.
39. IF YOU COULD BECOME FULLY ENLIGHTENED INSTANTLY ON ANY ONE SUBJECT, WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Probably literature, I would think.
I've been doing lots of reading out in the lovely sun today, and I read the first volume of Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis. It affected me more than simply seeing the film did, and makes me want to be as awesome a parent as her mother and father were. It also made me think, "Hm, maybe I actually will have a kid someday. And I'm gonna name her Marjane."
