Questions from ruby_fruit:

1. You are allowed one consequence-free murder, who do you kill? Do you kill?

Probably not. "Consequence-free" would only be truly consequence-free if I'd not get any repercussions from my concience, which just isn't going to happen. Which isn't to say I'd never kill, because I would, in self-defense or in defense of a loved one, or even in defense of a random stranger, I think, but not just because I can do it and not get punished for it.

2. You have to choose, permanently: internet or books?

Oh, argh. Um. Ummmm. Um? Um! *tears out hair, flips coin, attempts to splice self in two* Okay, books. And I hate you.

3. Because the Sim Effect intrigues me: JKR says something incredibly offensive about homosexuals, perhaps in response to H/D or R/S. Do you continue reading her books?

Sim Effect what?

Probably, yes. I still read her books even though she's bashed the Draco-fans, and really, as wibbble's pointed out to me, the woman just does not know from PR. Then again, I find it a lot easier to seperate published writers from what they write, compared to fanfic writers, probably because with fanfic writers I feel "closer" to them, if that makes sense. It feels more personal.

4. Lets say a person only has a certain amount of talent, where would you want yours if you could choose. Art, writing, politics, etc...

Just one area? Writing. I'm pretty sure that's already the case. I have a moderate amount of skill when it comes to drawing, but I know writing is where my real talent lies, and it's a talent I can also use, to some extent, in politics, but I have no political ambitions (ignore the whole Glorious Leader Melle thing, that's not ambition, that's my god-given DESTINY! ;D), and I do have ambitions in writing.

5. So there's this new genetic treatment out there for gender re-assignment and the scientists want to test it on you. On the plus side, they're paying you a lot, on the down side, you'll be a boy for the rest of your life. Wanna give it a go?

Hm. I don't know that the money would play a big role in this decision, to be honest. What it comes down to is, while I'd like to try out boyparts for a while, and I'd sign up in a heartbeat if I could switch back and forth at will, I'm too used to this body to switch permanently.

And in other news, LJ needs to stop holding my comments hostage, dammit!

"Okay, books. And I hate you."

Ha! *blows kisses*

"Sim Effect what?"

Unnofficial thing named after Dave Sim, who writes a great, funny, smart comic but is a mysoginyst of mindboggling levels and has said some incredibly stupid and offensive things.

It's pretty much the uncomfortable state of mind you find yourself enjoying the work of someone you find morally reprehensible.

Questions...

Let's just see if I make it to five, why still trying to be original.

1) Say you could hurl an object of your choice at a certain person, building or institution, given that no harm will be done to the object and you will not be held accountable, what object will you hurl, and who/what will be at the receiving end ? (to please my coworkers who are making this a sport)

2) You get to perform alongside an artist of your choice, who would you like to perform with, and what artform would you choose ?

3) You get to choose an olympic discipline to participate at, with the certainty that you will win a medal, what sport would you like to take part in ? (you are excempt from kissing a row of men even)

4) You are allowed to take credit for one single thing that you didn't create/wrote/built/said, but as a result you do not only receive the royalties for being the creator of said thing, you also need to live with the popularity, the signatures to hand out, and all the rest that comes with the fame. What creation would you like to have been the author of.

5) You get to star in the next Harry Potter film, which character would you choose, and, in real Hermione Granger style, you get to say/do something that isn't in the books, what quote would you add of your own, without altering the story too much ofcourse. (Don't worry, your hair looks as good from the back as it does from the front ;-)
