apocalypsos | Argh ... because LJ apparently isn't letting me comment from emails ...

*user trouts LJ, but good*

Here's my answers to my own questions ...

1. What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done?

When I was in fifth grade, I was in a school geography bee (I was the youngest student in it), and when it got down to me and the sixth grader, we got asked a tie-breaker question. The answer to mine was "Yellowstone," and back then I was really quiet and shy (well, I *was*), and I spoke really softly. I said, "Yellowstone," but the teacher running the bee misheard me and announced that I'd answered "Jellystone". So four grades of students laughed at me for that jackass's mistake.

2. The scariest?

Probably when I was in my car accident. Not like any of us or our cars were injured, but I've never been more terrified in my life.

3. The weirdest thing?

When I totally flipped out and ran away from home. Gyah. I think that was the closest I ever got to a nervous breakdown.

4. Who is the most famous person you've ever met?

The most famous ones I can think of are the actors from "Highlander," but if anybody who knows me can remember any other ones, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised I've forgotten.

5. If the world were going to end at midnight tonight, what would you spend the rest of the day doing?

Sex. Chocolate. Alcohol. A joint. One blood-rare steak. Drive home to see my brother one last time. Then go outside with some party favors and a stereo blasting "Revolution" by 30 Seconds to Mars to watch the festivities.

6. What's the most gruesome and/or disgusting thing you've ever seen in real life?

Well, since all of the autopsy photos I've seen don't count, I'd have to say when my little brother found a turtle at the park across the street from our house that had a caved-in shell. Ick (but cool). Innards.

7. If you were signing up for "The Amazing Race", who would you want to be the other person in your team, where would you hope that you could go in the world, and what do you think your team would be known as ("The Engaged Couple", "The Virgins", "The Gay Marrieds", etc.)?

My brother Bryan, and we'd have to be the brother/sister team of the season. (Of course, you have to be 21 to go, and he's only 17 right now, which blows, but if he could go, we'd do it in a heartbeat.) I'd so hope for anywhere in the British Isles, the African plains, China, India (regardless of the grabby hands they showed this season), and Australia.

8. Who do you know who you'd sign up for "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy", and why?

I'd sign up my dad for that one so fast. Not only to clean up his act (this is a guy who's had the same dressy brown suit and tassel shoes for as long as I can remember), but so that Thom could go in and rip out my mother's dated tastes in interior design. (Country and borders ... blech.)

9. If you could be any character in any book, movie, TV show, etc., who would you be and why?

I'd be Buffy, but I'd go back to Season One, get a better dye job and nose job, dump Angel before he could go all unsouled and Angelus-y, buy clothes I could actually fight things in, take Xander out on more patrols and less donut runs, get Willow to soul Spike the second he showed the least bit of romantic interest in me, ignore Riley before I ruin the poor bastard, get Giles and Jenny a motel room (juuuuuust in case), urge Angel to get a vasectomy, urge Cordy to get her tubes tied, and shove Dawn off that tower and just hope that Key spell that crowbarred her into my life came with a "shake the Etch-a-Sketch" clause that squeegeed her out of our heads.

*happy sigh* I like my TV show better.

10. Which song would you consider your theme song, and why?

"Save Yourself" by Sense Field, probably because not only is it a pretty song, but it makes me feel good about still being a virgin, which is cool.
