Let the people know you tagged them.
Oh dear. I do so love question memes. But I don't think I actually know eleven people on tumblr. Well, we'll get to that later. First, answers!
1. What’s your favorite thing to do at a fair or carnival?
I love ferris wheels. My dad used to ride them with me when I was little, but we don't go to fairs together anymore, so now I always bug my friends until one of them agrees to go on the ferris wheel with me.
If there's no ferris wheel, just give me candy floss.
2. Say you’re having a dinner party with your favorite fictional characters (as many as you’d like, but remember, you have to clean up after them). How does that go?
Fun fact: I love cleaning up after parties, so basically anyone could stop by. (Except I don't have unlimited space.)
But I think it might turn out a surprisingly quiet affair. Lots of good food, lots of interesting conversations, a few squabbles here and there and some people might end up horribly drunk; but all in all, I think all of my favourite characters know how to behave themselves and enjoy a good meal.
Or it might turn into the Unexpected Party. Actually, now that I think about it, that seems more likely. Except I would take it a lot better than Bilbo did.
3. What book do you think should be made (or remade) into a movie?
"The Haunting of Alaizable Cray", by Chris Wooding. Come on. It's kinda steampunk. Steampunk is in, right? And it's creepy and exciting and British and there's airships and monsters and so many cool characters and Johnny Depp would have to be Stitchface because I always hear his voice in my head when I read Stitchface lines but we never see his face so that would be new. And the sewer scene should really be just a dark screen and noises, because that was one of the scariest things I ever read and it just wouldn't work with pictures.
So yes anyway we totally need a movie of this. Someone call Hollywood and tell them.
(Also "Prospero's Children" by Jan Siegel, and probably "Winter Rose" by Patricia McKillip, but I'm not sure about that last one because I would be inconsolable if it didn't turn out well.)
4. Is there any fashion statement or body modification you’d like to take on, but haven’t yet for whatever reason (dress code, job, family and friends’ reaction, etc.)?
I am fascinated by tattoos and would like some at one point, but I haven't yet found a motive I feel confident I would still like/attach meaning to when I'm older. Also the pain scares me. And I can't really afford it right now.
5. What type of weapon would you like to become proficient with?
All of them? I don't know. But I like the small, concealable things, so knives perhaps.
6. If they were making a movie about your life and you had any say in the casting, who would you want to play you?
I don't think I know any actresses that look even remotely like me.
7. What’s a song that you love that hardly anyone else seems to have heard?
Too many to count. (This is why I so love to make mixtapes for people.)
For now, let me introduce you to Hem's "Sailor".
8. If you could come back as a ghost, would you?
No.
(look mom I can do short answers!)
9. What, if any, tumblrisms do you also use in everyday life? (Bonus points if you’ve ever tried to keysmash out loud.)
Well, I have said "asdfghjkl!" out loud, so...
I'm not sure I really know any tumblerisms. I haven't really been familiar with tumblr all that long. Also English is not my native language and people get confused when I suddenly speak English in the middle of a conversation and stuff just doesn't sound the same if I translate it.
(That doesn't mean I don't do that though. Both the speaking English and the translating.)
10. If you could see any actor, living or dead, play any character of your choosing, who would that be?
Dame Judy Dench as Vida Winter in "The Thirteenth Tale".
(And if we go completely into fantasy territory, Alfie Allen must play that one character in that one thing I'm writing.)
11. Say something nice about yourself!
I'm Batman.
.
And now: a word from our sponsor more questions.
1.) Invisibility or Flight?
2.) Regardless of whether you think it can be changed or not, do you believe in fate?
3.) If you had to have animal ears (instead of your human ones), which animal would you pick?
4.) Why not wear more skirts?
5.) Time travel: backwards or forwards?
6.) Do you have a favourite word or expression in a foreign language that simply can't be translated into your native tongue? If so, which one?
7.) What scared you most as a child?
8.) Something completely unbelievable happens to you. Do you tell anyone? If so, whom?
9.) Superstitions?
10.) Last person you hugged?
11.) How do you feel about lemons?
In accordance with the randomness of these questions, I hereby equally randomly tag the last eleven people I reblogged things from. (If anyone else feels like answering, go right ahead!)
