What Do You Love About Squid?
I am bored, and will therefore post an interview meme. Hooray or something!
Leave me a comment, in which you ask me five (or whatever; I'm not exactly going to go 'OMG YOU DID NOT THINK OF FIVE DO YOU REALLY EXPECT ME TO ANSWER A MERE THREE?') questions. I will try to answer them, as if you couldn't have guessed that. Maybe there is a meme ( Read more... )

2/ Hello Kitty or Garfield? (Random is good, yes)
3/ You're stranded on a desert island with Johnny Depp - do you hold his head under the water until the bubbles stop or sex him to within an inch of his life?
4/ What's your favourite crack-pairing?
I wouldn't mind seeing an adaptation of Macbeth myself, especially one with mansex even with the downsides. *vaguely remembers enjoying that play in English*

Not sure about this; I actually don't watch many movies. I did really enjoy Lola Rennt when we saw it in my German lesson, and even more when I saw it again with subtitles, because yay for alternate outcomes and hypnotising red hair! The most recent movie I saw was Goblet of Fire, which I liked very much, but that was mainly because Barty Junior was much more sexy than insane murderers should be allowed to be.
...and I also found Macbeth extremely attractive in the adaptation, and now I'm wondering whether I could possibly have worse taste in men, but I digress!
Hello Kitty or Garfield?
I'd say Garfield, mainly because I've actually read some of the Garfield comic strips (snarky cats! always a good thing!) and know absolutely nothing about Hello Kitty. I'm not hugely familiar with either of them, though.
You're stranded on a desert island with Johnny Depp - do you hold his head under the water until the bubbles stop or sex him to within an inch of his life?Heh. Probably neither, because I don't ( ... )

Hire Patrick. Yus.
1) YOU are trapped in an ELEVATOR. This ELEVATOR is the one in BALAMB GARDEN. There is an arm of DALEKS, CLOSING IN on your current POSITITON. Of the FF8 main cast, WHO do you leave outside to deal with the first wave and WHO do you lock in the elevator with you as a last-ditch line of DEFENSE?
2) ALLCAPS WHY
3) Comedies or tragedies? For what ungodly reason?
4) Why you never come on AIM? &/ divulge your super-secret AIM identity?
5) I got very little sleep last night. Does it show?

...hmm. I guess I'd keep Rinoa in there with me, because with any luck she'd have some kind of neat Sorceress powers with which to fight the Daleks without actually leaving the lift. Selphie I would send out to fight, because her Trusty Rocket Launcher might be able to put a dent in the Daleks.
ALLCAPS WHY
ALLCAPS BECAUSE
...to properly answer, because I find random bursts of allcaps oddly hilarious I KNOW NOT WHY.
Comedies or tragedies? For what ungodly reason?
Tragedies, by far.
This is mainly because tragedies involve more GOING INSANE than comedies do, and I love me some insane protagonists. Also because most of the plays that I know were written by Shakespeare, and he wrote some great tragedies (Macbeth! Othello! Romeo and Juliet in which ( ... )

2) Why do you keep insisting that you prefer hurrah, when huzzah is a) clearly the better word and b) the one you use more often?
3) Is it true that you STOLE MY SLAVE GNOMES?
4) TV or theatre? I mean, if cost weren't an issue. [/obligatory serious question]
5) Go on then, what *do* you love about squid?

I have cunningly been hiding inside, so no! I have, however, realised how cold it is in here, and that's pretty damn cold, so I imagine it's not much fun out there.
Why do you keep insisting that you prefer hurrah, when huzzah is a) clearly the better word and b) the one you use more often?
a) IT IS TOTALLY NOT. 'HURRAH' IS CLOSER TO 'HARRIET', AND THE GOODNESS OF ANYTHING IS OBVIOUSLY DETERMINED BY HOW SIMILAR IT IS TO MY NAME.
b) IT IS TOTALLY NOT. I ONLY EVER USE IT AROUND YOU. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY USING YOUR WEIRD MIND CONTROL POWERS TO MAKE ME SAY HUZZAH.
Is it true that you STOLE MY SLAVE GNOMES?
No. Absolutely not. What would make you think that? *shifty eyes*
TV or theatre? I mean, if cost weren't an issue.
Probably TV, because there are just so many things you can't do with theatre. Have you ever tried theatre-ing an animation? DISASTERRIFIC.
Go on then, what *do* you love about squid?
The word. Really. This is not just because of what Macbeth says; I really do love the word.

QUESTION THE FIRST:
What is the difference between Macbeth and Hamlet?
QUESTION THE SECOND:
What is the difference between Hamlet and Macbeth, as expressed through dance?
QUESTION THE THIRD:
Italics, ALL CAPS, bold, or un-needed exclamation marks!!!!!!!?
I think that is all the questions I have! Idly, as I recall, the original meme had a bizzare circle of the asker turning into the askee, but it got very confusing and I had several thousand comments in that entry and stopped answering people.

Macbeth:
Witches: You are Thane of Glamis!
Macbeth: So I am!
Witches: You are also Thane of Cawdor!
Macbeth: Wait, what?
Witches: You shall be King!
Macbeth: You're barking mad, you are.
Witches: And also all your sons are going to be King, Banquo, but nobody cares about you.
Messenger: Hey, Macbeth, you've just been made Thane of Cawdor!
Macbeth: Hey, cool. Maybe that being King thing will work out as well.

Lady Macbeth: Kill the King.
Macbeth: No.
Lady Macbeth: Kill the King.
Macbeth: Seriously, no.
Lady Macbeth: KILL THE KING, YOU WIMP.
Macbeth: FINE. (kills the King)

Macbeth: You know, I'm not entirely comfortable with this whole Banquo's-sons-being-kings thing. I don't like to think that I've killed Duncan just for them to rip the crown from me. Also, Banquo is intelligent and generally a threat. (has Banquo killed)
Banquo's Ghost: Hi.
Macbeth: ...OKAY, WHOEVER'S DOING THAT, THAT IS SO NOT FUNNY. (generally flips out)

Macbeth is a dance that gets steadily more evil (WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT A GRADUALLY EVILISING DANCE LOOKS LIKE GO TO THE BACK OF THE CLASS) and eventually the dancer decapitates either himself or his dancing partner, depending on how many people are dancing. If a large number are dancing, one of them kills all the others one by one until only himself and one other person is left, at which point the other person kills him.
Hamlet is a dance in which the dancer stands very still for a very long time, occasionally looking as if he is about to actually dance but then failing to, and then dies.
ANSWER THE THIRD:
Italics, definitely. I have never written a page of anything that did not include italics. I do love random allcaps, though. I used to use superfluous exclamation marks, but those were in The Days Of My Youth Of Which We Do Not Speak.
'Askee' is an awesome word. I totally did not strip out the asker-askee switch part because I can never think of questions, nope nope.

Your fondness for italicness makes me pleased like a pleased thing; your summaries likewise. I suppose I shall have to read Macbeth, I guess.
It's odd that I can ready, say, A Midsummer Night's Dream and have no problem at all with the language, but Romeo & Juliet becomes inexplicable five minutes in. This is a sidenote.
