Questions I was asked:
1. Which historical figure would you most like to meet and why?
Well, this is difficult. I mean, despite all of the wonderful people who have done things for women and black people and the poor (i.e. me), I feel like I kind of want to hang out with Teddy Roosevelt. We could just, like, run around the forest and ride horses and be badass. Conservation, motherfuckers! Aw shit! I just realized that I would totally not be hanging out just because he was a bad ass motherfucker. We could talk about why trees are important and shit.
2. You just won $10 million dollars in the lottery. What would you spend the money on?
I would pay off student loans for myself, my mom, and my older sister, set up a college fund for my little sister, pay off my mom's lawyer and keep the lawyer on retainer until my little sister turns 21 and all issues of child support and custody are behind us forever. I would purchase I small house for my mom and sisters, within an income bracket that they could sustain payments themselves once they start working again. Until they can finally find work again, I'd take care of their expenses. They're the kind of people who don't want to sit around and do nothing, so I know they wouldn't just give up on taking responsibility for their own lives just because I could take care of them. They're too busy having dignity.
I would donate at least $1 million to Planned Parenthood because FUCK YEAH PLANNED PARENTHOOD!
I would then find an accountant to deal with putting away the money. I'd invest in Starbucks because FUCK YEAH STARBUCKS.
I'd make EVERY awesome cosplay that I can't afford right now. (over time, not all at once.)
Then I would continue to work and live just as I always have because I wouldn't be happy laying around doing nothing. Eventually I might set up a non-profit organization of my own once I know which of the many causes I care about I'd like to devote it to.
3. You just won an Academy Award. What’s it for?
Some ridiculous, mind-bending piece of poetical performance art that I wrote myself. Edward Notron will be in it. My outfits will be amazing. Also I want Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt involved. And Trent Reznor will do the soundtrack.
4. What’s the best song to cheer you up when you’re in a bad mood?
Somebody to Love by Queen is perfect for out-and-out cheer. If you hear that song and don't feel awesome by the end, you have no soul. For some hardcore, anxiety-destroying encouragement, Lateralus by Tool is always effective.
5. What reality show would you most like to be a contestant on?
I would say Ru Paul's Drag Race, except that I have tits so that makes no sense. Probably some absurd Korean variety show. Koreans want to see me get bonked on the head by an inflated plastic corn cob, knocking me into a vat of green jello. Right?
6. If your house was on fire, what would be the first thing you’d rescue? (assuming your family and pets are already safe)
My two boxes of writing. That shit is irreplaceable. Also my collection of autographed doujin by Yoshitoshi Abe. Abe is a hermit. I couldn't replace that shit either.
7. If you lived in Middle Earth, what race would you most like to be?
Rivendell Efl. Period, end of story. I have given this too much thought over the years.
8. Your all time favorite band is touring, but its the same night as an incredibly important family function. What do you do?
I go and see the the triple headline of Tool, Radiohead, and Nine Inch Nails. My family sucks and I hate almost all of them. I'll bring my little sister. That will make the concert and important family event.
9. What movie would you most like to see a sequel to?
Nothing, really. Sequels tend to do more harm than good to a story unless they're part of a long-since plotted out story that simply can't be contained in one film. FACT: The Lord of the Rings is ONE MOVIE and ONE BOOK.
10. If you were given an opportunity to kill somebody, with a guarantee you’d get away with it, would you do it?
Yes. The fact that I absolutely WOULD get caught if I tried it in this universe guarantees that I will never try. But rest assured, the world would be a better place without this person in it.
Oh shit! It's over! Now I have to come up with some questions. Let's see...
1. What would be the ultimate concert for you to attend?
2. What book could you never live without and why?
3. If you could cosplay anyone with no regard for money or anything else that might stop you, who would you cosplay?
4. This is how the horror movie starts: You are on the T (the subway for my non-Bostonians). Suddenly it screeches to a halt. Shit gets real. Zombies, aliens, giant dinosaurs, whatever the fuck start ruining everything. Are you the badass hero who leads survivors to glory, the freakish loner in a bunker, or someone who randomly gets shot or stepped on or whatever?
5. To what art form do you wish to devote your heart and soul? This includes photography, sewing, drawing, writing, anything that requires creativity and skill.
6. What plant do you want to be?
7. If you could be from another country, what country would that be?
8. Fill in the blanks: "I've _____ed _____ in somebody's _____, and if found, then ____ could get _______ed."
9. What obscure reference do you often make and what is it from?
10. Here's something for your self-esteem! Obviously you're awesome because I have tagged you. Why do you think you're awesome? Or, if you somehow don't understand that you're awesome, why do you think that I think you're awesome? Also, accept that you're the best.
