Lillibet Interviews Me
Oct. 19th, 2004 01:31 pmHere are five interview questions from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lillibet and my answers to them. Per the meme, post a request below to be interviewed by me and I'll ask you five questions. Here goes:
1) What never fails to cheer you up?
Every now and then I've known people who simply had the magical gift of making other people laugh through their tears. I don't know what it is or how to explain it - it's just very real and a precious few people have that gift. They've been the ones who have helped me see the humor in even the saddest situations. It's almost shamanistic. People who can make me laugh in my pain always give me a new perspective on things and make me feel better.
2) If you had to leave the US for a year, what country would you live in (gotta choose just one) and why?
Of the countries I've been to, I would gleefully choose The Netherlands. While I was there I was plotting ideas how I could move there, including becoming America's first mail-order bride. If I had to take a long shot and move to a place I'd never been, I'd need about a solid week to research things and talk to expats living all over (such a Capricorn). But I might consider Hong Kong very strongly.
3) Name three of your all-time favorite movies.
Harold & Maude (no surprise there)
Braveheart (Mel wasn't always the way he is now)
All That Jazz (the theatre thang)
I have to add Nightmare Before Christmas and Willy Wonka as my favorite kids' movies.
4) If you were offered free plastic surgery would you take the offer and what would you change about your body?
Free? Why not? How much do I get? If I could only have one procedure, it would definitely be lipo on my un-flat belly. No matter how slim I get down to, that damn belly is still always there like a vestigial twin. I barely even think of it as part of my own body. So that would go. If I could have more than just one procedure, maybe I'd wait until I'm 50 and they get a facelift, or have additional lipo to achieve a wasp-waist (but leave da booty!)
5) What do you do when you can't sleep? I have no patience for insomnia and am not of the temperment to play new age relaxation games at bedtime, so I handle insomnia the old-fashioned way -- bourbon. A few splashes of Jack or Jim and I'm off to sleepyland like a wee baby. Goodnight!
