This meme went around a long time ago . . . I was going through my email inbox and found the questions, and decided to answer the questions. Actually, I'd answered them earlier, but lost the post.
1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
2. I will respond by asking you 5 questions of a very 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.
questions from Nim:
1. There are a lot of dreamy fictional guys out there, but most of them are a bad idea for some reason or another. What fictional man would you seriously consider marrying (if it were feasible, of course)?
Actually, I don't think there are really any I would seriously consider marrying. I mean, Harriet is obviously better for Wimsey than I would be, and Faramir is so clearly taken, and so on.
2. If you had a little sister that wanted to read Twilight, what book would you recommend to her instead?
Probably Sabriel by Garth Nix if she's looking for something modern, or Dracula if she wants vampires, and Buffy is she is old enough to deal with it.
3. What's your favourite riddle?
What have I got in my pocket?
4. You are transported into a fantasy world. What would you be--princess, lady knight, shieldmaiden, farm girl, healer, wise queen? What role do you play in the story?
I would like to be a lady knight, but I expect that I would be a scholar studying magic for some local aristocracy. The sort of thing that most everyone thinks is dull, and I go on about how exactly this bit of magic works, which turns out to be vital for the story and the salvation of the world, but I don't really have that big of a role in the actual saving of it. I also would be rather decent at archery.
5. You find out that you're going to die in 24 hours precisely. What do you do with those last hours?
Drive to the beach with my friends and watch the waves. Quite possibly Disneyland as well.
questions from Angel:
1. What is your favourite bit of obscure trivia? Something that most people are unaware of that gives you delight?
I'm not really that into trivia. Umm . . . if you are spaced, the vacuum causes your blood to boil (along with many other unpleasant things, in fact, so many unpleasant things that it's relaly hard to say what would kill you first).
2. If you were diagnosed with a fatal disease and only had 6 months to live, what would your priorities be and with whom would you want to spend the remaining time?
I would totally quit my job and go on a couple road trips. Also, there would be much England and castles. I would be dragging my friends all over. Quick! I only have six months! We're going to England!
3. If you were an iconic building or landmark, what would you be?
I would be Sleeping Beauty's castle at Disneyland. It is iconic, beautiful, and there is the secret stairway where you can read the whole story of Sleeping Beauty.
4. Road trip time! Charis and I suddenly appear on your doorstep and whisk you away - name three places that you would want to road trip to.
Disneyland (because it is awesome and happy and makes me think about Dante). The beach. The Grand Canyon.
5. What is your favourite book that you've ever read, and why is it your favourite?
My favorite book at this instant is Dante's Divine Comedy, because everything always comes back to Dante. Always.
