A new game!
I got this interviewy game from Pink Plaid Face. Here are the instructions, which I’ve modified a bit because I don’t have a comment function on this site:
1. If you want to participate, send me an email saying “interview me.”
2. I will respond by asking you five questions – each person’s will be different.
3. You will update your journal (blog? spiral notebook?) with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
5. When others email (or comment) and ask to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
Woo hoo! So here we go! Below, in italics, are the special custom-designed questions Pinky asked just for me. Also below, in not-italics, are my answers. Yee haw! Man, I love question/answer games.
1) If you happened to be an anime character, which one would you be – and (extra points) what would your blood type be?
I would be whichever Sailor Scout is Tuxedo Mask’s girlfriend, and my blood type would be O positive, I guess.
2) if you married a celebrity – what would he wear to the wedding?
A really queer, tight, pastel early ’80s tuxedo. And black eyeliner. And little braids amidst his hair. (Ooh — two answers with the word tuxedo so far. I rule!)
3) name the most recent guilty pleasure that you have enjoyed.
Dang it. The other day I begged Tad to take me to a bubble tea place, at one AM, because I was craving coconut bubble tea slush so bad. But he took me to the one that he goes to, not the one I go to (mine was closed,) and these people at his place didn’t offer to substitute Sweet’n’Low for the sugar like my place does. So I said I didn’t want anything, because I don’t eat sugar because stopping eating sugar has made me lose so much weight. And then Tad gave me this look like, “Okay, why did I bring her here? And what am I supposed to do now — just drink my Earl Grey iced tea with flower balls like a dork while she sits across from me bitching about my bubble tea hang-out and how thirsty she is? And… oh, shit, I’d better quit giving Gwen this look, because she’s looking at me now. Let me make a face like I don’t mind that I drove all the way out here for nothing.” So he gave me that look, and then I said, “Oh, okay. Give me the coconut creme slush with half tapioca.”
And it was so fucking good. It tasted like I was drinking cake frosting. It tasted like I was drinking the devil.
And the next day I felt like shit, and I’m never eating sugar again.
4) what is the most creative put-down that you have said to someone, or someone has said to you?
I didn’t make this up, but it’s “Whatever [making W with fingers]. Your momma works at McDonalds [turning W upside-down to make M.]”
5) name your ideal concert lineup – limit three, please.
Oh, man. I don’t know who’s good live and who isn’t. Okay… shoot. I’m gonna say… Blur, Beck, and Bjork. (Like the alliterary theme? Sure you do.)
Okay, that’s all. Email me if you want to play, although I can only play for a limited time and my questions might not be as good as Pinky’s… But this game will go forth and multiply, you see. Fun for us all.
