Interview Sheep

[venta]

OK, chances are you've seen this on someone's journal. I answer five questions (in this case posed by mr_tom, but posed on a locked post, hence no link).

Anyone who wants to be interviewed shout up, and I'll write you five questions. You take 'em back to your LJ, answer 'em, and offer to ask. OK ?



Tell me something unforgettable about yourself.

Er, most of the memorable things about me involve me doing something stupid... How about:

I once knocked myself out, and had to go to casualty, after jumping exuberantly off a bus and hitting my head on the top of the door frame.

What is the best comfort food ever?

Is there any kind of food which isn't comforting to eat ? Besides black olives and mushy peas, of course...

Though probably cheese. If I'm moping round the kitchen, a lump of cheese and a few artichoke hearts out the jar is usually where it's at.

Science or art?

Hmm. Depends what I'm trying to do :)

But I think I'll take art, if I'm only allowed to know about one. For the following reason:

If I know only about science, and talk about it, then I'm a geek and am deliberately excluding others from the conversation. If I can't join in with a conversation about art, I'm a philistine.

If I know only about art, and talk about it, then I'm a good conversationalist. If I can't join in with a conversation about science, then it's the fault of the anti-social geeks who started it up.

[I actually regard this as very unfair.]

What are you going to do with the rest of your life?

Spend it under the impression that I'm still not grown up, and thus it doesn't matter that I haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up.

I enjoy my job (I'm a programmer); if I did it for the rest of my working life I think I'd be happy with that. I'm working on a novel in my spare time, whether it gets consigned to the rubbish heap of history or dramatically alters the course of my life remains to be seen :)

What is the best kind of pie?

The kind made with pastry :) Specifically, the top-and-bottom kind. The worst kind of pie is the sort you get in restaurants which is really stew/casserole with a separately-cooked square of puff pastry balanced on top.

To be very specific... the pie my mum makes after Christmas to use up the leftovers. Turkey, ham and apricot, and made with fantastic pastry :)

Bring it on. Your questions alone are very entertaining.

[venta.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

1. Which day from the last 12 months would you choose to relive ?

2. When you finally snap and go on a killing spree, what song will be your soundtrack as you spray bullets/rend limbs ?

3. Do you remember when you first questioned that everything your parents told you was right ?

4. If you could spend a day as someone else, who would you be ?

5. Cat burger sandwich or fried woodlice ?

I'm glad I didn't get that lot. Wouldn't have known where to start.

I'm worried about number 2. Specifically the 'when' part of number 2. venta, do you know something I don't?

[venta.livejournal.com]

Honestly, artichokes, homicides - you're doing nothing but grumble today...

[triskellian]

<grin> Sorry. I'll forget about the artichokes if you can assure me that you're not privy to some useful homicide-related information about smiorgan. Or alternatively, if you share it with me ;-)

[venta.livejournal.com]

OK, my assumptions about smiorgan's homicidal tendencies are based entirely round the assumption that, sooner or later, anyone who rides a bike round all the idiots in fast-moving metal boxes is bound to lose it.

Nothing more.

Now, how do you feel about marinated aubergines ?

[triskellian]

Now, how do you feel about marinated aubergines ?

Yum yum. I feel very affectionately towards marinated aubergines.

(Also towards artichokes, actually - apart from Jerusalem ones, which I don't really understand - I was just worried *you* were getting obsessed with them. Although I might now go away and obsess about marinated aubergines. Yum.)

[venta.livejournal.com]

Good grief, you'd almost think I was trying to tailor the questions to the individual...

(just to make triskellian worry even more about that killing-spree question ;)

5. Zobmondo!!

[venta.livejournal.com]

No.

This year's desk calendar at work is Zobmondo, and it's a much worse plan that you might think. I'll start posting the daily dilemmas here if you're not careful.
