Thought this was kinda cool.
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And so on and so on and so on...

countessmary asked me:
1. What's one fandom you thought you would never get into that you're in now and how'd that happen?
Kinda perfect timing for that question. Excuse me while I glare insweetestdrain's general direction. I had no intention of ever watching True Blood. I was okay with that. I even toyed with irrationally hating it. Except then sweetestdrain kept sending me youtube links, and pictures, and making bets about which characters I would love, and finally...when I was in a low mood she took advantage of my weakened state by agreeing to a deal in which she would watch China Beach if I would watch True Blood. Nearly to the end of the first season now, and she was right about nearly everything. Bitch.
2. What would you change about the life you're living now if time, money, and physics had no meaning?
Teleportation. Hands down. I wish I could visit and spend time in person with people I love by pushing a button. And I'd own a house with Zen and Pete. And...honestly, anything that would break down or go around the current barriers (mental and physical) that can make my life pretty damn lonely sometimes.
3. How has your life changed for the better over the last year?
It hasn't. Over the last year I've been mutilated, poisoned, burned, and left with permanent phsyical disability along with new fun anxiety piled on top of the old. So I don't die from a crap disease. Except I still might. People talk about how cancer made them a better person or gave them a new lease on life or whatever, and good for them. Me? I'm just pissed off. And stuck with a body and life that are most definitely worse off than they were before. Maybe I can make the best out of this new reality, and I hope I can, but if I could erase this last year entirely I'd knock that fucker out of existence without blinking and be nothing but 'good riddance' on the way out.
4. What television character do you feel like you're the most like?
I...don't know? I mean, I can tell you who I identify with most, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's who I am most like. I think I'll open that one up to the peanut gallery, who do you guys think I'm most like?
Who I identify with most shifts depending on what I happen to be watching the most at the time. Right now? Boonie from China Beach. Do I really need to explain that? Except I'm nowhere near as good with the ladies. Maybe I should get a harmonica? Chicks dig harmonicas, right?
5. What food do you love to the point of a sore stomach?
I don't have a specific favorite food, but I do have a category of food that I should not love as much as I do and will, without a lot of self regulation, eat to the detriment of my health. Junk foooooooood. From fast food drive through to chips and candy bars and honestly anything processed and loaded with horrible chemicals that may not actually qualify as 'food' if looked at too closely. If I can't pronounce three quarters of the ingredients without a chemistry degree? I probably love it.
Your turn, your turn! Ask me to interview you!
