Quick, hide behind the couch, it's another one of those damned memes

[varadia]

Three factors are working against me: 1). I am a sheep, 2). I am at work and horribly bored and not wanting to write my monthly report, and 3). I am insanely curious and already wonder what sorts of questions people might want to ask.

So.

Ask me a question about anything--fandom, real life, music, vegetables, etc--and I will answer you and then ask YOU a question. The whole process could be repeated if anyone wants to keep it up. If this works, by the end we could know each other so well we're sick of each other and have to quit one another for a while.

Nightmare-type horror.

If there isn't a rational way for people to get out of it, or the good person turns out to be evil just when you think it's safe, I can't take it. Because that is what my subconscious presents me with when it thinks I'm getting complacent.

Or something.

Do you like children? As in, like the way they think, like being around them, type like.

[varadia]

I am exceedingly fond of children, how their minds work, the way they are always telling stories and seeing the world as bigger, as more.

I promised myself once, when I was eight or so, that I'd never lose that. I like to think I've not done a half-bad job, at least in some respects.

If you have a mental image of the afterlife, what is it like?

[rowanberries.livejournal.com]

It's like here. It's not, obviously. It's... sort of like a big coffee house. Only outside and sunny, where everyone you ever knew gathers and talks and wanders.

And then you go down for your next life.

I have no idea where I got the reincarnation bit from, but weirdly enough I believe it.

What perfume, if any, do you like to wear?

[varadia]

I had a perfume from Ralph Lauren that was the least offensive thing to my nose ever.

Generally, though, I don't. It's a mix of the chemicals and the fact that most women's perfume smells like fake flowers.

Ew, fake flowers.

Skirts--how do you feel about them?

[rowanberries.livejournal.com]

Generally, I like them. They can be attractive and twirly and are very nice in summer. Practically speaking, however, I like my jeans.

Jeans are good.

Books and movies - romance or horror?

[varadia]

Uh *shifty*

Romance. I like popcorn and candy films and books, sometimes. Also romance-novel-inspired nightmares usually make me laugh when I wake up, instead of hide my TV in a closet.

Thank you The Ring.

What thing as a child continues to terrify you to this day? If there is anything, I mean.

[rowanberries.livejournal.com]

Growing up.

I never wanted to be a grown up. It happened anyway.

I used to have nightmares in the Peter Pan type mythos, where nothing actually happened, I just knew I would never get to Neverland, it was too late. Because I knew I couldn't really deal with it, not properly.

That, and being helpless. Same thing really, just a bit more general.

Do you like to dance?

[varadia]

I want to like to dance, I want to be able to move like that.

Instead I only do it in my head. There are things my body wasn't meant to do, really. Or so it seems.

If you had to be in a horror movie and have that be your real life, which would it be?

[rowanberries.livejournal.com]

Oh, god. *shudder* I hate you.

Not really.

Um. Sleepy Hollow, probably. At least it would be prettily filmed and have Johnny Depp?

If you could fly or become invisible at will, which would you choose?

[varadia]

Flying. *prompt*

Oh god, flying. Do you even have to ask? *grins*

If you knew I were coming to visit, what preparations, if any, would you make?

[rowanberries.livejournal.com]

Ditto here. *grins*

Er, first I would make sure I was at my parent's house, which has whole rooms for visitors, rather than, er, floor.

Then I would get in a good selection of DVDs, nice icecream and basic ready-made pizzas so we could put our own toppings on. And check there was alcohol available.

Movie marathon with laptops for internet. Yes.

[rowanberries.livejournal.com]

Ack.

Forests or mountains?

[varadia]

I really want to say forests. And possibly, before I began playing Raven, that would have been true.

Now it is mountains. Mountains all the way.

Given a choice between running on a sunny day, walking in a blizzard, or marathoning in the desert, which would you prefer?

[rowanberries.livejournal.com]

Running on a sunny day, yo.

Since I actually do that. *grins*

Pizza or pasta?

[varadia]

Pizza, omg food of the GODS, man.

Paper or plastic?

Or glass?

[rowanberries.livejournal.com]

Glass.

Glass is shiny and pretty and can be used as an offensive weapon in a pinch.

*paranoid*

Hmmm. Sweet drinks, liquor or beer and wine?

[varadia]

It's a tossup between sweet drinks and liquor.


I'll go with the liquor.

Chocolate or vanilla?
