May. 22nd, 2006 09:58 amYou know me, I do whatever
chronarchy does. If it looks like fun, anyway.
Ask me one question for each topic (in depth or simple) and I will do the same for you. (Alternately, ask on subjects you think might be interesting, and ignore the rest. This also works.)
1. Travel
2. Religion
3. Family
4. Love
5. Sex
6. Hobbies
7. Pets
8. Friendship
9. Literature
10. Movies
11. Home town
12. Physical Appearance
13. Volunteer Work
14. Life Goals
15. The World
Hey. It was either this, or I was going to post about altered-state experiences over the weekend, and really, I can sum the important bits of that up here in one sentence: Where there should have been some big eff-off serious Gate with Guardians and whatnot, there were two itty-bitty garden gnomes with indigo hats. That's my magical working style, yessirreeBob.

Date: 2006-05-22 08:43 pm (UTC)1. Travel -- Whether you're just doing a weekend road trip, or something longer, what's one nontraditional item that you must have with you? (Like, something other than your toothbrush.)
Overall, I tend to not bring anything that I don't at least have a reasonable suspicion that I'm going to use. That being said, it is often my perception that I will use a deck of cards or other game sort of thing that doesn't take up much room. Also, I am likely to carry or wear a talisman or "lucky charm" of one sort or another, just in case.
3. Family -- If you'd classify anybody in your chosen family as "Crazy Aunt" or "Crazy Uncle," then who would it be?
My Uncle G. gets all the Crazy Uncle votes. He's ex-intelligence, has lived in all sorts of exciting places, was growing a jungle in his backyard that featured a number of natural hallucinogens, that sort of thing. Also, he is the person in my family (other than me) most likely to make off-color jokes about hippos, which counts for a lot.
4. Love -- Would you help me make some special frosted boobie cupcakes sometime soon?
Sure. I am full of love for the boobies. And also, the cupcakes. I can't promise you t-shirts though.
7. Pets -- If you're in an informal social situation, what part of a person near you are you most likely to pet if you're not sure about petting that person? Does this default petting zone change if you know the person better?
My usual default petting strategy for people I'm unsure about the okay-ness of petting them is not to pet them at all. If I find that I must, for some reason, pet someone on the iffy list, I'll generally pet them about the head and shoulders (but not the face). People I know well (and who I know to be fine about being petted by me) are likely to be petted anywhere.
9. Literature -- Don't you think Anita Blake is way off base describing herself as "curvy" if she's 5'3" and weighing in at just 106 pounds? (I swear this causes me more problems with suspension of disbelief than anything else so far in the series.)
That's total bullshit. But, of course, she really sort of tips the Mary Sue scale anyway, so I read it with the same sort of "yeah right, now get to the sex scene" attitude that many people reserve for the Harlequin romances.
10. Movies -- Do you prefer going out to the movies, or watching them at home? If the answer is "it depends," then please share why.
I'd rather go out. If I try to watch movies at home, I have a hard time giving them my full attention. I always want to be doing something else while I watch. At the theater, my options for other things to be done are much more limited, and less likely to take away from the experience.
12. Physical Appearance -- Why is it that you keep not getting your hair cut, despite your frustration with it?
I don't know what you're talking about. I just had it cut last Thursday. The word on the street, though, is that I am trying to grow it out, at the request of
13. Volunteer Work -- See #4, above.
Yep.

Re: <disclaimer>
Date: 2006-05-23 05:36 pm (UTC)2. Religion -- If you had to choose one of the world's "mainstream religions" to follow, which would you choose?
3. Family -- Would you rather be related to your family of origin, or
4. Love -- Right now, how many people alive on this earth would you say that you love?
5. Sex -- Is there anything that you feel is on the list of sexual things that most of the population has done that you personally have not done? If so, is it because you don't want to do that thing, or because you've never had the opportunity to do it?
6. Hobbies -- What's the least likely hobby that you have? In other words, what is the one thing that you do for fun that you think that people would be most surprised to discover that you do?
14. Life Goals -- Can you envision a point at which you would say, "Okay, I've marked everything off my list. I can die now."? If so, what would you have just done to get to that point?
