Wow, I really didn’t expect to take this long to get around to answering everyone’s questions. The last couple of weeks have just been hectic, and so it got put off…and put off…but no longer!
Rather than do these one set at a time, I’ve combined them into sets of four, so here’s the first 20 questions. I’ll get the others answered in the next couple of days. If you haven’t submitted questions to me, please feel free to drop five in the comments section.
I have a long list of questions from various of you to answer. In the mean time, I found this over aj_raffles way and it amused me, so….
If my friends list were a fandom…
A) Who would the ‘shippers pair me with?
B) Who would the slashers pair me with?
C) What would a Mary Sue in my fandom be like OR who is mostly likely to be turned into canon!Sue?
D) When did I/when will I jump the shark? (Which is to ask, “When did I/will I become crap and cease to be interesting?”
E) Write a summary of the story that would win the Best Fanfic Award in my fan
There are times I wish that a country such as the UK or Canada would offer asylum for “intellectual refugees”, who are seeking to escape the increasingly absurd morons proliferating around them.
I direct you first to a story in the Independent Florida Alligator, about a bill introduced into the state legislature that would set “a statewide standard that students cannot be punished for professing beliefs with which their professors disagree. Professors would also be advised to teach alternative ‘serious academic theories’ that may disagree with their personal views.”
Yesterday, CNN reported thatmany IMAX theatres, especially in the southeast were refusing to air a feature titled “Volcanoes of the Deep Sea” because it might offend certain religious people because of its references to evolution.
“We’ve got to pick a film that’s going to sell in our area. If it’s not going to sell, we’re not going to take it,” said Lisa Buzzelli, director of an IMAX theater in Charleston that is not showing the movie. “Many people here believe in creationism, not evolution.”
Good grief.
North Carolina Public Television ran Dave Allen At Large sometime in the late 70s or early 80s, and I was instantly taken by his humour. I’ve listed him as one of my favourite comedians for years, usually to blank stares.
God bless, Dave. I hope when you meet God, you find that you were right: she *does* have a sense of humour.
Stolen from….just about everyone, really.
If you woke up and I was in bed with you, what would be your first thought?
(Then post this in your blog and find out what mine would be.)
Just wanted to drop a line here to let everyone know that kitanzi and I returned home safely. Our plane landed in Atlanta at about 4:30pm, and we were back in our apartment by 6:00pm.
More on the con and the trip later. Now…sleep.
I had the following fevered thought occur to me during a discussion of the upcoming Harry Potter novel on IRC:
“I know who the half-blood prince is!” Harry cried, as he lunged to tackle Ginny.
“Harry, what the hell are you doing?” Ron screamed. “That’s my SISTER!”
Harry yanked on Ginny’s hair. “Look closely, Ron. She’s a MAN, baby!”

Courtesy of John Scalzi, I am alerted to Hasbro’s latest innovation:
“You do not know the power of the CARB side of the Force!”
“When last we met, I was lightly salted with butter, but now *I* am fully loaded.”
“Don’t be too proud of this technological diet you’ve constructed. The ability to destroy a waistline
is insignificant next to the power of the Force.”
The possibilities are truly endless.
