five questions from writer00

[amul]

1. Top five desert island books.

Bhudda of Suburbia, by Hanif Kurieshi (sp?)
A Prayer For Owen Meany (I forget the author)
The Complete Sherlock Holmes
The Mahabhrata, translated by William Buck
The House on Pooh Corner, AA Milne.

2. Which actress would you most want to sleep with?

Anna Paquin. I can only imagine the pillow talk afterward.

3. You are on a date with someone you are really attracted to. She asks you, "What would your closest friends most want to warn me about you?" What do you answer?

Ha! That's easy. Angel would just tell her, "Run. Run now."

4. Reincarnation choice: Rich Indian woman, or poor white man?

Indian woman in India? Never. And I'm already a poor white man, practically. Trick question!

5. If you could have dual citizenship with any other country (other than India), which country would it be, and why?

Hrm. I'm tempted to say Germany, but that's just because grrremlinski talks about it like she's spastic with love. I'm pretty happy here in the States, truth be told.


If you haven't seen this meme by now, you haven't been paying attention. Ask me 5, or ask me to ask you 5.

A Prayer for Owen Meany is by John Irving.

Spaztic with love? Really? Huh - You should ask me to tell you about Ireland sometime...

(And you realize, of course, that the reason I will speak highly of these places, is because I have experience with them and they were good. I've still got hundreds of places to go - then we can see which places I'm truly pleased with).

You've read A Prayer for Own Meany? That makes me very fond of you, indeed.

The whole point is that I've never NEEDED to ask you about Germany. You just bring it up on your own. There's one kind of joy in asking and receiving, there's another kind of joy entirely in getting unprovoked insight into someone.

I spend a lot of time wishing I'd spent my twenties like you had.

Weird. My email never told me you'd responded... (stupid LJ... or email). Ooooh! Speaking of email, there's another Stongbad email that you must watch. It's part of the whole Homestar runner experience. To be continued...

Regardless, yes, I've read A Prayer For Owen Meany. Good stuff, that.

Will you and your lovely hench-women be wrestling me onto another bed to force me to watch it?
