Katy's quiz thingy.
*dies laughing* Watching a show about the collision of eastern and western culture during the 18th and 19th centuries. The fact that ecchi Japanese woodcuttings of Dutchmen with geisha always depicts the Dutchmen with their hats of *irrespective of what they're doing at the time* really really amuses me, somehow.
Right, bowing to Katy's whim...
Generico Beginning Questions
1. Who are you? Jane. Most of the time.
2. If you could change the answer to question 1, what would it be? ...isn't that remarkably similar to question 12? Fine, I'd be Jane Without A Cold Coming On. *sniffles*
3. Go and look outside (remember outside?) What's the weather like? I dunno, it's dark. Night, I guess. Either that or the sun's blown up. Only I guess if it were already dark the solar radiation and things would already have hit, so it would probably be less dark than explosive. So it's probably night.
4. What are you listening to right now? Um...a L'Oreal advert, apparently. Though I don't know that listening is exactly the right word.
5. What's your desktop wallpaper right now? Something melodramatic and blue involving doujinshi Treize and Zechs looking at each other soulfully against a moonlight sky with lyrics by Snow Patrol. Oh yeah, I'm a cheesemonger.
6. Who or what do you use for your usual messenger/livejournal/other avatar? At the moment, Treize and Zechs smooching. Guarantee to scare the unwary. Oh yeah :D
7. What was the last book you read? Howl's Moving Castle. So damn good :D :D I want a pet Howl. He gets drunk at rugby club dinners! He spends hours in the bathroom and smells of flower! He expresses his displeasure through green slime! Yeah!
8. What was the last film you saw? Umm...Hero too, I think. But I've been mainly watching Sapphire and Steel lately...
Fill in the Blanks:
9. If I were a magical girl, my magic wand would be really-unlikely-to-exist-considering-my-opinions-of-most-magical-girl-shows and probably infuse homosexuality into any bishounen it touched. Only that sounds a little Freudian, somehow.
10. If I had an anime mascot-style pet, it would be very dead.
11. I am most embarrassed by my taste in bad sci-fi shows. I'd say 'indiscriminate yaoi', but I'm so far beyond embarrassed about that most of the time.
12. If I could be any fictional character in the world, I would be Flora Poste from Cold Comfort Farm. I'd say Treize or Integra, but I suspect Flora has more fun. Plus I sound a little less like I have penis-envy.
Desert Island Crap.
The usual desert island setup. We've shipping you out to the pacific forever, with nothing but the shirt on your back and the following answers.
13. One computer program. Uh...Word, probably. Mmm, sad.
14. One anime series. Probably also Utena, just for rewatch value. But maybe Gundam Wing, just so I can keep playing with Treize and Zechs without interruption. And maybe with all that free time I'd actually get to work out what Treize was *doing* for much of the series.
15. Three video/pc games. From my limited experience... FFVII, FFVIII, Kingdom Hearts (...shut up.)
16. One television channel. FX289 :D :D :D It's got Highlander! It's got Time Tunnel! It's got X-Files! It's got Navy NCIS! It's got all the cheese you could ever possible want!
17. One non-essential item of clothing. A beautiful pair of green suede gloves.
18. A limitless supply of one type of food... Bendick's Bittermints.
19. ...and one type of drink. Apple-flavoured ming-tea. Oooh, can I have gin as well?
The Final Straight
20. So you're sitting on your cloud/bench/forklift truck in whatever you imagine the afterlife to be. Who's in your entourage, (fictional or real)? ...far too many people. Real people: friends, both blog and choir; family, or at least certain members thereof; anime, too many bishounen to count and including but not limited to Treize, Zechs, Tatsumi, Tohma...; books/TV, including Raffles, Silver, Howl; historical, including Oscar Wilde, Alcibiades, Horace, Philip of Croton...
21. If you were planning a trip round the world, with unlimited funds, where would you go (top three destinations)? Mycenae, New Orleans, Kyoto.
21. Pick a song that presently sums up your opinion of life. Umm...at the moment, probably Semisonic, 'El Matador'. Which I can safely say in the knowledge that no one but Ruth who reads this will have heard it ^_^
23. Which one of these questions took you the longest to answer? 22, due to general faffing and having dinner in the middle of it ^_^
24. Where's my burrito? In your kitchen, dumbass.
In other news, I have a collection tomorrow, and far too many rehearsals over the weekend, especially considering the bastard sore throat that's plaguing me at the moment. Hrumph.
