The Question Game

[tanarill]

I've been thinking about doing this for a while now, but it was rlly my BF who convinced me too.

This is called the Question Game. You comment and ask me a question. It can be anything: funny, humorous, racy, serious, embarrassing, whatever. I have to answer it honestly. The catch is that I get to ask you a question, and you have to answer it also. We go back and forth like that until someone gives up or we get tired of playing.

Ready? Go!

Wow, a marble... XD

Hmm, that sounds pretty cool. I may have to buy this next time I venture into a book store...

I usually don't have an above-all favorite color, because my preference tends to change with my mood, but if I had to pick one I'd say green.

Why is the universe?

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

And it happened on the first day of Kindergarten . ..yes, I was weird kid.

Forty-two.

If you could choose the way the Universe ends, what would you choose?

[trenchcoatkid.livejournal.com]

Yay for forty-two!

Ah, the Universe... I'd probably choose something ironic and to do with human's interference in some way or another. How this will play out, I'm not entirely sure, but perhaps it will involve the entire universe imploding... implosions are fun.

What accent gets you the most?

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

If by "gets" you mean "turns me on" then Scottish highlands. It's the most wonderful musical brogue ever.

What is your favorite kind of amusement park ride?

[trenchcoatkid.livejournal.com]

Scottish highlands is indeed freakin' sexy, I'll agree with you there. XD

Roller coasters, hands down. I was thinking about mentioning the Tower of Terror at Disneyland, but it's not really a falling ride and I hate the open-air shoot-you-up-and-drop-you rides so that doesn't count... so, roller coasters.

Why do cats enjoy eating nasty creepy-crawlie things?

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

They don't enjoy the eating them so much as the playing with them beforehand and watching them try to scurry away. Because cats are mean bastards like that.

But they make nice noises hen they are happy.

Are you ever going to give me the Icon of Science?

[trenchcoatkid.livejournal.com]

Kitty-purring is one of the best noises ever.

I am indeed - the reason I haven't is mostly because through an odd series of events I'm not able to use the computer that I use on the weekends during the week. Of course, me being me, I forgot to upload it somewhere where I could access it from any computer, so... I shall upload it tonight and hopefully it'll be to your liking.

Why is actually completing a story so much harder than starting one?

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

Whoot!

Because plotbunnies aren't really. They're more like ideabunnies. If you have the entire plot outlined before or shortly after you start, it's much easier. It also helps to have people like my Emmylove to provide Crack!musing when the bunnies get tired.

Which time zone are you in?

[trenchcoatkid.livejournal.com]

Aaah... well, that makes a lot of sense. I think I need a Crack!muse of my very own now...

I am in the Mountain Standard Time time zone. It's cool because it has mountain in the name.

Where are you?

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

Yes, everyone should have a Crack!muse.

I'm in Eastern. I have at least one LJ-friend in every US time zone (excepting Hawaii and Alaska =P), cool!

Why won't it stop raining?

[trenchcoatkid.livejournal.com]

Hawaii and Alaska are kinda overrated anyways.

It won't stop raining because of some scientific issue - that, or, y'know, the world's ending. One of the two.

Why is there a disembodied plastic hand next to my computer?

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

Because Thing died and, in that weird Addams family way, they plasticized him instead of just burying him. How his corpse ended up next to your computer is a different story altogether . . . O.o

What is your opinion of ninja pirates?

[trenchcoatkid.livejournal.com]

Aah... I see. Mm. Some things are better left unsaid, I suppose...

Ninja pirates? Well, they're all well and good, but I have to wonder; when are they going to start representing the ninja zombie pirate populace? Somebody needs to do something about them soon....

Do you want/have any tattoos, and if so, what do they look like?

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

I have none and I want none. Needles in my skin, eww!

Do you have an AIM?

[trenchcoatkid.livejournal.com]

I do indeed have an AIM. SpookyPirateHat.

What is your opinion on the proliferation of elves in fantasy stories?

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

Good. If you are on tonight (after I do The Cooking) I shall definitely poing you.

Overdone. I mean, Tinkerbelles was bad enough, but then things like LotR have to go turn them into "happy peaceful forest-dwelling immortals" when anyone who knows anything at all knows that they are nasty. And to always carry iron when facing them . . .

What about the Puck?

[trenchcoatkid.livejournal.com]

Good old iron, keeping people safe for generations in some form or other...

What about the Puck? He is awesome. Was my favorite character in Gargoyles for a long time.

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

The Puck is indeed awesome, but I did not mean the Gargoyles Puck (who, BTW, is my fav Gargoyles char hands down). I meant the Robin Goodfellow from the the play.

Gargoyles: it encouraged kids to read Shakespeare!

Have you ever read Sandman?

[trenchcoatkid.livejournal.com]

Robin Goodfellow, eh? It's been a while since I've actually read through the play, but I still liked him nonetheless, if only for the Gargoyles connotations. I'll be able to give a better answer, considering the drama club I am now a part of will be putting A Midsummer Night's Dream on very soon.

I have indeed read Sandman... well, most of it. I got the collection thingy and then one of my friends stole it for the same purpose I got it; to read. I suppose I'll get it back someday...

What should I ask about now?

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

Sandman's Puck is awesome too . . .

I don't know. What Thing about me do you want to know?

[trenchcoatkid.livejournal.com]

Hm. I'm not quite sure. Um...

Apart from Hot Gay Porn, what is your favorite genre of literature?

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

Sci-fi/Fantasy. I read as a form of escapism, why would I want anything literary?

[trenchcoatkid.livejournal.com]

Eh, true. Sci-fi/Fantasy is always good.

Heard of NaNoWriMo?

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

Heard of, but unfortunately for the next four years I will be in the middle of rush terms every November. No good for doing anything other than class, homework, eating, and sleeping :|

Besides which, hitting 50K words isn't hard. It's hitting 50K words with a viable plot/story.

How about you? Do you plan to NaNo?

[trenchcoatkid.livejournal.com]

I plan to NaNo every year and then either I'm struck by rogue plotbunnies, a boredom demon, hit a wall or just generally forget about it. I've never been successful which pisses me off. Perhaps I will be able to use one of my many ridiculous story ideas this year and stay interested... like the four-horsemen-having-to-recruit-a-woman-because-of-affirmative-action thing...

Any advice on actually sticking with something? I've got a procrastination problem...
