guxx interviews me:1. Do you keep a diary?
No, not in the sense of a traditional diary. The closest I’ve ever successfully had to one is this LJ, though of course the LJ entries are written for a readership, while a diary wouldn’t be. I’ve tried many times with the private diary, but I become self-conscious when I’m writing anything that only I will see. I’m just not a diary person, I think. Though I’m probably not done trying.
2. What is your favorite article of clothing?
Currently it’s a short black suede jacket. It makes any outfit look good. But it’s fall weight, so it’s already too cold to wear it without an outer coat.
3. Care to talk about your belief in fate and free will?
Neither I nor anyone can answer that question definitively. I once believed very strongly in fate, and I tend to chalk up turns of good fortune to it. But at the same time, I’m aware of the very probable randomness of "fortune" good or bad. We go to a show, sit in row J and meet the person we’re going to marry. We go to the same show, sit in a different row, and don’t meet them. I believe that the decisions we make alter outcome (of course) but I believe we have precious little control over the result of the majority of actions we elect to take.
4.Should marijuana or prostitution be legalized?
They certainly should. This should be two different questions, though.
I feel that all adults, male and female, should have the legal right to require a fee for sexual access to their bodies should they wish to. I see nothing whatsoever immoral or unethical about that. Sex means something different to each person, and for a government to declare the sale of sex illegal diminishes our very ownership of our bodies. In Mareland, every person over the age of 18 would be free to sell or barter access to their bodies, and others would be free to accept or decline.
Marijuana, a wholesome and helpful plant, should be grown by sweet little old ladies in their gardens because they think its pretty, by herbal medicinal companies who can regulate it’s quality and delivery systems, and by the government, who could regulate it and tax it if they were smart.
5.If you could transport yourself to any place and time in history (past, present or future), where and when would you go, and why?
Oh good, this one includes future as an option, so I’ll choose that. About 150 to 200 years in the future, far enough along that I can hopefully be humbled and amazed by human progress, but not so far along that language would have changed too drastically for me to understand or be understood.

Date: 2004-11-15 01:02 pm (UTC)2) You're walking along your usual route to the bus. For several days now you've seen a guy with a dog treating the dog rather abusively, tugging it, yanking it, etc. On day 4 he kicks it in the ribs. Do you take action, and if so, what do you do?
3) Your girlfriend wants to go on a vacation together to somewhere you intensely hate. Also, she's hinting that she wants you to pay for the trip, the whole trip. You can afford to, but hate the thought of spending that much to go to this particular location. You're wiiild about this girl. How do you handle the situation?
4) Do you like roast pork?
5) Is there a play that you would love to be in as an actor, but would never in a million years want to direct? How about vice versa?

Date: 2004-11-15 01:14 pm (UTC)1) You get to trade lives for a day with 3 people you know personally, each for one day. You get to live in their body, in their house, go to their job (or not), basically do what ever you please as "them" while still being you mentally. The catch is that they get to live in your body, your house, etc. on that day. Which 3 people do you choose?
2) Surprise! you're spending the next year in a Red State! Choose one.
3) Surprise again! You've woken up with a penis! The doctor says don't worry, it'll just go away in a few days, so what do you do in the meantime?
4) Applicator or non-applicator?
5) Are there any foods that you absolutely hate?

3) Your beloved has decided to get a full face tattoo and implants to look just like a tiger. It's a done deal -- he did it to surprise you. Will you grow to love this new face?
4) The roof is leaking, but you're late for work. Do you stick a bucket under it, or stay home and waith for the plumber?
5) If you had to hear only one song again, over and over, for the rest of your life, what would you pick?

Date: 2004-11-15 01:41 pm (UTC)2) You'll get this shiny new $1500 mountain bike if you'll spend the night alone, without a flashlight, in that dark abandoned house that is reputedly haunted. How 'bout it?
3) Choose one: A) Have sex in front of 65,000 cheering fans. B) Have sex in front of your parents.
4) You can make Dubya's nose fall off just like Jacko's, and all you have to do is eat this 10-pound drum of Crisco from BJ's Wholesale. Spoon ready?
5) Would you remain single for the rest of your life if it would ensure you phenomenal sucess as a writer?

Date: 2004-11-15 07:04 pm (UTC)2) You're in a foreign country, about to be fed dinner by the sweet little old couple hosting you. The old lady has been slaving over the meal all day, smiling and so proud to be serving you her best cooking and filling your hungry belly with homecooked hospitality. You're almost 100% certain it's dog. Do you eat it anyway, out of politeness?
3) Hey, there's a T-pass on the sidewalk outside the station! Keep it or turn it in?
4) You can only wear one color of clothing for the rest of your life. What will it be?
5) What personality trait in a woman do you find appealing above all others?

Date: 2004-11-15 07:14 pm (UTC)2) You've been invited to train and participate in a space study on on sex in zero gravity. You'll be having lots of sex with several hot female astronauts in total weightlessness so scientists can learn about it. The only caveat is that all of the sex will be videotaped and viewed by many people at NASA and the government, and will very likely leak out onto the internet anyway where the whole world (and your family) will see. On the other hand, you'd get to have this really neat-o cool sex. Are you going into space or not?
3) Design a 4-course meal of your wildest dreams.
4) Is there any other role in Murder other than 3rd Tempter that you would like to play someday if the opportunity presented itself?
5) List all the towns and cities you've ever lived. (since I know we share a first one :-))

Date: 2004-11-15 07:21 pm (UTC)2) You're offered a role in a professional production of a great play with good pay, but the role requires you to shave your head. The contract is for three months. Accept or decline?
3) Same play, no head shaving but full frontal nudity. Go nekkid or fuggetaboutit?
4) What character trait or mannerism in a man makes your heart flutter?
5) Would you be willing to move somewhere that really doesn't interest you for the right man?

Date: 2004-11-15 07:45 pm (UTC)2) You must choose one food which you will be required to eat a serving of every day without exception for the rest of your life. You may have other food, but you must always have your daily serving of this. What will it be?
3) You must pick an existing organized religion and practice it to the very best of your ability. It will require frequent attendance at religious gatherings and living in accordance with any laws or principles of that religion. Which one would you choose?
4) Kawaii! An adorable puppy on your doorstep in a basket! He's wearing a tag that says "Please adopt me" in Japanese. He's a precious little fuzzy ball of love. Knowing you're only going to be in Japan a year, how do you handle the situation?
5) You can either have 24-hour noontime sunshine with blue skys, or 24-hour starry nighttime with a pretty moon. Except it's for life. Which would you rather have?

Date: 2004-11-16 08:04 am (UTC)2)You have the opportunity to keep the job you have, or earn exactly the same amount doing something stress-free and fun like working at an ice cream shop. Do you stay or switch?
3)Are there any circumstances whatsoever under which you would convert to fundamentalist Christianity?
4) Any really awful ex-girlfriends in your past?
5) You can remove Bush from office immediately, but you must then take the job yourself. Ready to try?
