Her questions:
1. Where in the world would you like to visit for a month and what would you do there?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's horribly stereotypical, but I do want to go to England for so many reasons. A month though, only a month...darn. I'd try to cram in Stonehenge, visit the museums, go through the castles and houses of the royalty, bask in the blend of Medieval, Baroque, and Classical art all around...see Shakespeare's home, stand in Trafalgar Square...and once the month is up, I have an excuse to visit Europe because of Proximity.
2. Favorite school memory over any grade?
Hmmm...it's a small one...but the funniest was definitely when a kid some class back in seventh grade let go of an Earth Shattering Sneeze, it was like a shout of death...and it was followed by the fire alarm going off immediately after his his. We spent a good half a minute laughing before the teacher hurried us out onto the lawn outside in the cold....
3. Monty Python or Mel Brooks?
That is an evil question
Having to pick between the two...
I love Mel Brooks...
But Monty Python wins, I'm sorry. I've put together their skits for school, Dead Parrot, Cheese Shop, Argument Clinic, How to Defend Yourself Against a Fresh Fruit, add that with The Holy Grail, The Life of Brian, The Meaning in Life (though that's *cough*) They were great satirists in my eye and they'll always bring a laugh...
4. What is your favorite classic rock band (80’s and under) and what your favorite song of theirs?
My mind first shoots to Queen...but that could only be due to my being rubbish at remembering band names off the top...If it's Queen...I do like Somebody to Love Me and of course the Bohemian Rhapsody...Also enjoy greatly ZZ Top, though song names don't come readily.
5. What’s the weirdest habit of yours that you just can’t break?
You may have noticed it. I always apologies. If I'm talking I will somehow find a spot to say I'm sorry, even if I haven't done anything, or said anything offensive. Sometimes I will say it when I haven't said anything, or if I go do something...I just always say sorry and I can't stop. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
6. What’s your favorite t-shirt to wear, that brings you comfort and happiness whenever you wear it?
I own a shirt for every Woodward Dream Cruise in existence because it started the year I was born. The early ones you were allowed to color yourself, and even though I don't fit in those anymore, they always made me happy. The shirts still do. Might just be a Detroit thing, but I like cars, Car was my first word, so these shirts with their mid 60's Thunderbirds bring so much joy.
7. If money weren’t an issue, what would be your dream job?
GIVE ME A MUSEUM!!!!! Without money being an issue I can be a museum Curator while still trying to build that Tardis interior!
8. Nitpick something/someone from your favorite TV show and how would you improve it? I want good thought out answers here!
I waited to do this one last...
...Um in advance I'm sorry, this is going to be long and unpopular...
It bugs the crap out of me when I hear people say that the Doctor is getting darker and darker. It might be true, and if it is, there's a reason why. Back in the 80's whovians we're told that there is a future where the Doctor isn't a hero, but a villain, and this future was confirmed in the Name of the Doctor when the Great Intelligence mentions that the Doctor will have many names near the end of his life, one of them being the Valeyard. The Valeyard is the concentrated evil that we glimpse inside the Doctor and we know that he arrives somewhere either between the Doctor's 12 and Final regeneration, or is his Final Regeneration itself. He worked with the Master at trying to steal the previous incarnations of the Doctor until HE BETRAYED the Master...Valeyard=More evil then the Master. This was Whovian Lore before the reboot and partly why I get annoyed when people say that the Doctor is growing dark.
The pet peeve of mine comes in when people think of 10 as the dashing peaceful saviour. (I'm not going to mention the darkness in 6 trying to kill Peri, and 7 destroying Skaro for his own purposes) 10 was a very dark Doctor, but for arguement purposes i'm bringing up the episode that bugs me the most, that being Rise of the Cybermen and Age of Steel. People have complained about how the Doctor defeated the Silence but...the Doctor defeats Pete's Universe cybermen by something that really shook me up as a kid. It's really scary to me to think that the Cybermen were defeated because the Doctor deactivated the emotional block trigger, meaning that their heads were literally exploding because the humans they once were were now screaming in pain from the cybernetics and crying out in fear and confusion when they see a metal automaton staring back at them in the mirror. The cyberman bride, the woman who was asking about her husband from the suit really messed me up... The doctor could have used the classic gold, cleaning fluid, out think them, properly defeat them...but he traumatizes the stolen humans so that they die from fear and confusion and pain...
Ya might not like 11 as a Doctor but please don't tell me that he's darker then the rest, because there have been some really horrific things in Doctor Who. Again I'm really sorry....
9. When was the last time you truly felt beautiful (you too dudes)
2011 Homecoming, Fresh new electric blue shirt and a grey 3 pieced thingy-mabobber and a hair cut that i actually liked...
10. How many languages do you speak? Say something saucy to me!
English, Spanish, and German.
Guten Morgen mein Freund, wir sollten gehen für SMS und ... Buttergebäck
(Good Morning My Friend, we should go out for texting and...scones)
11. Have you ever wept tears of pure, unadulterated joy? Describe to me how and why it moved you so much.
I'm not sure that I wept fully, like tears running out of my face...but the Grand Canyon did bring tears to my eyes. Pictures of it really don't do it justice...when you look out and see the rocks and crevaces that just span out over the horizon with the earthy reds and at times bright purples mixed with the brush as you watch the shadows of clouds skirt across the rockfaces. You're met with silence, all consuming silence (when the tourists leave). It makes you sit down, be silent and listen to the small sounds of the gigantic sight and just bask in the beauty...
... *cough* ..
