fpb1. You are in the Witness Protection Program and must invent a new first, last, and middle name. What's your new name?
As a matter of fact, I made up one long ago, and I'm afraid I'm going to keep it secret.
2. You are in a threesome with two famous people, alive or dead, who would they be?
Not interested in threesomes. But if I am forced, I'll take Cleopatra and Ninon de Lenclos.
3. You are in charge of naming your new band. What's the name of the band? What's the name of their first album?
Band: Guerrilla Warfare
Album: War against the Stupid
4. You are going to get a free tattoo. What and where is it?
Just hand me the money instead and I'll stand you lunch.
5. You are being forced to listen to one song over and over, ad infinitum, as a form of torture. What song is it?
A truly stinky one is that one by Shampoo - a dumb girl duo - "oh oh, we're in trouble, someone's come along and they've burst our bubble" - teenage pseudo-cool and inane vanity at their very worst, with a sickeningly repetitious tune. You would not have to repeat it - one performance would have me screaming out of my mind.
6. You are leaving your state/province. What state do you move to?
The mountains of northern Italy.
7. You are leaving your country. Where would you move to?
Southern Germany, probably - I recently met no less than three highly interesting and attractive ladies from Swabia on LJ, and, besides, they saved my brother's life in Heidelberg University Clinic.
8. You get to choose one book as the best ever written. What book do you choose?
The Divine Comedy, obviously.
9. You get to choose one movie as the best ever made. What movie do you choose?
Probably Visconti's Rocco and his brothers, with the proviso that it's such an excruciatingly tragic and painful story I do not really want to see it again.
10. You get to spend one day each as a bird, an insect, and a mammal. What bird would you be? What insect? What mammal?
Swan or hummingbird, butterfly, bear or panda.
12. You must relive one year of your life. Which would you least like to relive? Which would you most like to relive?
Least: 1993. Most: 1994.
13. You have a time machine that will take you backwards anywhere from 1800 to the present. What decade do you most want to visit?
1935-1945
14. You must choose to go skydiving or very-deep-sea diving.
Deep sea.
15. You get to return to the past (using that handy dandy time machine we were talking about before) and have a sexual encounter with a rock star who is no longer alive. Who do you pick?
I cannot think of anyone, with the possible exception of Judy Garland, and I would be worried about having to deal with her temper and about her weird predilection for male homosexuals. However, if I can stretch that slightly to someone who is now old and has lost her looks but who was, thirty years ago, unbelievably, matchlessly, Veela-like beautiful... not to mention stylish, charming, excellently dressed, a terrific singer, and sexy... Kim Carnes, obviously.
16. You get to be a contestant on any game show, airing today or in the past. What show do you want to be on?
Who wants to be a millionaire - I think I would do well, and one might as well do it for money.
17. You are given $1 million dollars but you must give it all to one charity. What charity do you choose?
I would seek out Debbie Wallace, put it all in her hands, and tell her to do what she thinks best with it. Considering the details of her life, it would not be far short of handing it to Mother Teresa. And I would know it would not be spent on bureaucracy or PC.
18. You must ban one word from the dictionary and all usage, to be no longer uttered or written. What word do you ban?
Choice. That would deprive politicians of about fifty kinds of lie. Although I have no doubt that they would quickly come up with new ones.
19. You can have 100 million dollars tax free but if you take it, you'll die at the age of fifty. Do you take it?
No. I come from a long-lived family.
As a matter of fact, I made up one long ago, and I'm afraid I'm going to keep it secret.
2. You are in a threesome with two famous people, alive or dead, who would they be?
Not interested in threesomes. But if I am forced, I'll take Cleopatra and Ninon de Lenclos.

Date: 2006-05-08 08:04 pm (UTC)I also have a sister, who married an Englishman and lives here in London where she is a course director at the London Academy of Fashion. She is one year younger than me. Her husband is another person I like very much; in fact, before I gave up on the effort, I wrote him as "Dr.Jamie Vartan" in my Buffy/Harry Potter chaptered fic, where he married Hermione. Oh yeah, determined, temperamental, know-it-all brunette with a tendency to overstrain herself...
