Interview meme handed on from Antosha C.

The idea is that, if you want to be interviewed, you write in the comments section, INTERVIEW ME. I send you five questions. You answer them in your own LJ... and offer to interview others... who publish the answers in their own LJs... and so on and so on and so on...

Antosha's questions were:

1) How did someone with a euphonious name such as yours come to live in London?

My standard answer to that is: the answer has blue eyes and curly brown hair. And she married the other guy, so I'm an idiot too.

2) Have you served in the military?

Yep. Infantry (but served in close contact with the Italian Army's elite corps, the Alpini), many years ago.

3) If you could order up the perfect piece of fanfiction (whatever fandom, genre, characters, etc., you like most) what would it be?

Actually, I'm kinda writing it myself right now... the Buffy characters meet the Harry Potter characters meet my own superheroes... it's called ...IF ALL THE HEROES LOSE? The title is a quotation from Jack Kirby.

4) If you could feed any one person Veritaserum, who would it be and what would you ask?

Debbie Wallace (my reason to live in London). And the question would be, how should I change myself to be able to marry you?

5) If you could put yourself in the time/place of any novel/film, what would it be? (Not the character, necessarily. Just the setting.)

Dunno. I'm quite happy where I am. But the Dickens novels are cool.

If only I'known...

Quoted from the Olympics thread in Scribbulus, Fiction Alley:

"I'm a bit scarred by recent events, though. I don't know how familiar any of you are with LiveJournal, but I came across this community (olympics_slash) the other day, via a friend, and we're barely a WEEK into the Olympics before RPS begins.

"Yikes. Sometimes I think LiveJournal is one of the scariest cults, hands down (believe me, I know; I participate in it )."

If only I'd known that Livejournal is a meeting place for sexual obsessives, I'd have thought twice about starting it. Anyway, now I'm in it, I'm not going to be driven out.
