More than you wanted to know about Sigmund

Jun 17, 2003 21:07

Twice, in one day, people have told me to update more. And I realize that I am not a terribly interesting person, because you know, I'm not really alive (nor am I really dead, it is very strange). And no one ever talks to me, so I thought I would finally do one of those really long surveys where you answer all sorts of things about yourself. So I figure that I'll just give you some basic information, and if you want to know more, you can ask me about it.

Maybe next I'll have one of those "ask me any question" surveys, and I'll slowly go through and answer each one ... that could keep me in updates for quite a while.

So without further ado ---



(1) The singular most boring question: what is your name? Sigmund
(2) Are you happy with it? Indeed
(3) Are you named after anyone? No
*question 4 has gone away*
(5) Your screen name: Faux Siggy Freud
(6) Would you name a child of yours after you? No, that's not how we name children
(7) Then what would you name your children? We named them Mathilde, Jean Martin, Oliver, Ernst, Sophie, and Anna.
(8)If you were born a member of the opposite sex, what would your name be? Not sure
(9) If you could switch names with a friend, who would that be? Why would I want to switch my name?
(10) Are there any mispronunciations/typos that people do with your name constantly? People have a tendency to write my last name "Fraud." I think they are doubters.
(11) Would you drop your last name if you became famous? Why on earth would I do that?

(13) Straight/gay/bi? Straight
(14) Single? I was married
(15) Want to be? No, companionship is nice
(16) Your birth date: As a ghost, this is a hard question to answer. Before I was a ghost my birthday was May 6, 1856. I became a ghost in September 1939
(17) Your age: That's sort of irrelevant, now isn't it?
(18) Age you act: Old enough. Sometimes I like to pretend I'm young, or pelvic bone, or whatever the word is

Nothing fancy. It would be nice if they had some computers, but I suppose I could haunt the library in the evenings or something. Any tips?
(27) Your family: What about them? Well, my father was married several times, and I have some nieces and nephews that are older than I am. Then I got married, just the once, and had six kids. And then they had kids, and their kids had some kids.

(42) Do you like your handwriting? Yes. It was drilled into me at a young age
(43) Do you have any bad habits? Maybe ...
(44) What is the compliment you get most from people? That I help them with their problems. At least, people used to say that.
(45) If a movie was made about your life, what would it be called? Uncovered Id. And Sean Connery would play me.

(50) What are your no. 1 priorities in life? Well, my new priority in the afterlife is to never have to go through another exorcism.
(51) If you were another person, would you be friends with you? Yes. Ghosts are very friendly.

(58) There are three wells, love, beauty and creativity. You can only drink out of one. Which one would you drink of?
