I have a secret. It's not much of a secret, since lots of people probably know it, so I guess it's not a secret at all. You guys know those memes that go around that are all "LOL COMMENT AND I'LL INTERVIEW YOU"? Yeah, I tend to forget that I've been interviewed and never answer the questions and it's just bad all around.

'Cause, yanno, you guys care just that much that you're disappointed when I don't answer. Oh yes.

Anyway, here are some backlogs of interviews that I owe. I'll probably find more. And if you comment, no, I will not interview you because I hate coming up with the questions.

1. So, that thing there in your icon... what is that thing?
Well, you already know the answer to this one, since you saw the book at a friend's house. ;-) It's the "main" character of The Doubtful Guest by Edward Gorey. I <3 Gorey!

2. Cosmic rays have come down, Stan Lee-style, and granted you superpowers. What superpower would you want, and how would you use it?
Telepathy, no contest. Why? Because it usually comes bundled with telekinesis, and with the two of those I can do pretty much anything I want. It's kind of like how being a pickpocket is the most useful skill evar, because robbing a bank vault is just picking the pocket of the bank and such. I'd use it to figure out stuff, like what people are thinking they really want when you ask them what they want for Christmas/their birthday/whatever. I'd also detect lies. I'd be a human lie detector! And if I had telekinesis, I'd fly. Mmmmmhmm. I figure if I try to, say, pull the moon to me, that'll get me off the ground, and buildings would get me moving in the right direction and stuff.

3. If you could have any job you wanted, money being irrelevant, what would it be?
Testing the internet. I would go around the internet and make sure that all the websites that I liked worked and that they had interesting content on them and such. ;-)

I dunno, I'd probably want to do something with books, or something that requires a lit degree. I've never really thought about it because my goal has always been to find a job that I will sort of enjoy that pays sexily. I think I should've been a pharmacist. :-\

4. What is your favorite book/book series, and why?
Hmmm. It's a tie between the first 4 books of Stephen King's The Dark Tower, and Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising Sequence. The latter is really the only set of books I read as a little kid that I still love reading today. They were (and are) just so awesome and fun and full of magic. The first half of The Dark Tower is sort of the same. It captivates you with its riddles and tragic hero.

5. Ninja, Pirates, or Zombies: who's the best?
ZOMBIE PIRATES!!!! I have no reason, other than they have the AWESOMENESS of pirates and the DANGERNESS of zombies and they are AWESOMESAUCE * 10000000000000000!!!

1. If you'd gotten into Brown and Northeastern at the exact same time, which would you have chosen?
I... actually don't know the answer to this one. I think I would've ended up flipping a coin and regretting my decision (no matter which one it was) for the rest of my life.

2. Would you rather have your own small island in the Pacific or your own private compound in a big city?
A small island in the Pacific, solely because at the compound, I'd always have to worry about people breaking in. But who's going to break into a small island in the Pacific? Pirates, that's who! And who will I welcome with open arms and lots of tasty food? Pirates!

Plus, I would basically rule my small island, whereas in a compound I'd have to follow the laws of whichever country I was in. Me and my island could just secede from the owning country or whatever.

3. Would you prefer to be 6'6" or 4'6"?
6'6" so that I could always reach things. I could either stand up or stoop! But when you're wicked short, you can't really "stand up" unless you have a ladder lying around. And who keeps ladders lying around?

4. If you could set the voting age, what would it be?
I'd probably switch the voting age and the legal drinking age. Sorry, but I'd rather have drunk teenagers running around then know-it-all teenagers helping get dumbfuck presidents elected.

5. What is your opinion of Chinese food?
It should be erradicated. Every trace of it should be removed from the earth and then the earth should be cleaned with lots of bleach. Blech!

That's all for now folks!
