I had an Idea for my slash the slashers story! Only, it sounds like it'll be an epic and take me a year to write.
So instead of writing that, I just did a long quiz which I snagged from Rowantree...
Describe a dream you remember:
I had a rather involved dream which I wasn't in (yeah, I watch movies in my dreams.:)) where a sheltered middle-class girl suddenly realized that one of her friends from school didn't have a family, he was very very poor and was working ridiculously hard to support himself. The final scene had a really great juxtaposition - the brilliant winter sun glimmering accross the snow and ice of a salt marsh where this boy was working, inadequately dressed. Though what the heck he'd be working on in a salt marsh I have no idea. If I could figure that out I'd write it up as a short story.
What's the first thing you remember wanting to be when you grew up?
A writer... and illustrate my own books.
What book are you reading?
"Dhalgren" by Samuel R. Delaney. Still. It's god-awful long, though it's still interesting me.
What colour are your sheets?
Sort of a pale-mottled green (due to me washing them with new jeans, I think) with sketchy leaves on them.
What song is in your head right now?
It's obnoxious as hell, because I hate it. It's that damn "Heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from another you'd been messing around." REO Speedwagon, maybe?
Waitaminnit... Where are you?
The computer room in my apartment.
I am afraid of:
The fact that people will do completely random, meaningless and unpredictable things.
Your day job/dream job:
Day Job: Looking at people's shoes in an x-ray machine.
Dream Job: Writer of science fiction, fantasy, and sociological texts.
What movie have you seen the most times?
Hard to be sure, but it might be "The Professional" (with Jean Reno and, um, that girl who later played Padme Amadala in the horrible new Star Wars movies. Poor dear, she's probably ruined her career. And it started so promissingly.)
One question for Jesus, or Buddha or Muhammed, etc:
I don't want to sound dumb, but I don't think there's anything I could want to know that they could answer.
The guilty pleasure you'd really rather not admit to here:
Why would I admit it here if I'd rather not?
Comfort food of choice:
Chicken Curry. (you expected something else from me?)
What's the last video you rented?
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" I hadn't seen it before.
Who do people say you look like?
Somebody once said I looked like Mary Pickford. Other than that it's "You look just like someone who works at my pediatrician's office," or something of that sort.
What's the bane of your existence?
Dumb people doing illogical things, like starting wars over oil.
What's the last thing you found on the ground and picked up?
A dime.
A writer worth reading:
Terry Pratchett.
Where would you like to grow old?
New Orleans might be nice. A place where I can hang in coffee shops to write and draw all day, and go dancing at night.
A word of wisdom:
If you meet Buddha on the road, kill him. And eat him. He too shall pass.
The question you get asked ALL THE TIME!!!:
"You're bi??"
When was your last hospital visit?
I think I went to the hospital 10 years ago to have a cyst looked at. They just slashed it open without even anesthetic, it was small.
The last thing you said out loud:
"Honey, what was the last movie we rented?"
Current clothing:
khakies and a grey t-shirt.
Your favourite season(s):
Spring and autumn.
In my last lifetime I was probably:
Probably a nobody peon, just like I am in this life.
