A little bit of Quzzitch from Miss Lucy… this one really made me think… go on… do it…
1. For a person you loved deeply, would you be willing to move to a distant country knowing there would be little chance of seeing your friends or family again?
I’d like to say yes, but probably not. It depends on which country it is… if I have to be covered up and keep my mouth shut, I think I’d rather stay where I am.
2. Do you believe in ghosts and evil spirits? Would you be willing to spend a night alone in a remote house that is supposedly haunted?
I do. I never did until I lived in a haunted flat. I don’t think I’d be too keen on a night alone, especially since there doesn’t seem to be a reward at the end.
3. If you could spend one year in perfect happiness but afterward would remember nothing of the experience, would you do so?
This is a no-brainer. What would you have to lose?
4. If a new medicine was developed that would cure arthritis but cause a fatal reaction in 1% of those who took it, would you want it to be released to the public?
Well that’s about the risk of most drugs, isn’t it. So yes.
5. You discover your wonderful 1 yr old child is, because of a mixup at the hospital, not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to try to correct the mistake?
I don’t think blood connects people on a higher level than jut normal love so no, I don’t think so but it would be nice to have access to the child and I’d allow the other set of parents access to my child.
6. Do you think the world will be a better or a worse place 100 years from now?
Every generation has it’s problems… some things are better, some are worse and everything kind of balances out and goes in cycles.
7. Would you rather be a member of a world championship team or be the champion of an individual sport? What sport would you choose?
Part of a team. I think having everything resting on me would be stressful and a bit lonesome. I don’t know what sport I’d choose… there are not all that many sports that don’t leave you looking like a man. Maybe synchronised swimming, lol!
8. Would you accept $1 million to leave the country and never set foot in it again?
Nope. This is my home. I really do want to travel but I want to be able to come back here and settle, definitely. Money is just money.
9. Which sex do you think has it easier in our culture? Have you ever wishes you were of the opposite sex?
In our culture. Well, I think there are still some stereotypes that need to be broken down and a lot of individuals who behave in a sexiest manner and perpetuate these stereotypes but as a whole I think there are advantages and disadvantages to both. I’d love to be a boy for a couple of year but I’d be a USELESS boy. I’d still have big hair and wear skinny jeans and eyeliner…
10. You are given the power to kill people simply by thinking of their deaths and twice repeating the word “goodbye.” People would die a natural death and no one would suspect you. are there any situations in which you would use this power?
Only in the situation where myself or someone I love was in direct threat of harm. I’d find it incredibly hard to live with someone else’s death on my conscience.
11. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the body or the mind of a 30 yr old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?
Definitely the mind. The body is just a vessel.
12. What would constitute a “perfect” evening for you?
Getting to see one of the bands I truly love and admire… someone like Envy On The Coast or Brand New or Gogol Bordello in a tiny venue. One the size of something like the Barfly, where the band actually sweats on you with a gorgeous rock boy who adores me. Getting gently, happy drunk on something delicious and then getting to go somewhere with all my friends that plays fab music so I can dance till I’m exhausted before getting to crawl into bed with aforementioned boy.
13. Would you rather be extremely successful professionally & have a tolerable yet unexciting private life, or have an extremely happy private life and only a tolerable and uninspiring professional life?
I would want the exciting private life. Work is cool but it’s just work. In a way I already have this and I’m pretty satisfied, now all I need is that boy from the “perfect” night.
14. Whom do you admire most? In what way does that person inspire you?
Tim Burton because I feel at home in the dark recesses of his consciousness and because he brought the weird, macabre and misfit out of the closet and proved that there is a bit of a freak in all of us. Eugene Hütz for being the ultimate survivor, artist and poet. Who doesn’t want to be THAT naturally cool. And finally tattoo artist, Kat Von D because she broke into a really male dominated field and kicked ass. She also proved that women with lots of tattoos can still be sexy, beautiful and feminine.
15. If at birth you could select the profession your child would eventually pursue, would you do so?
Why on earth would I want that?
16. Would you be willing to become extremely ugly physically if it meant you would live for 1,000 years at any physical age you chose?
No interest in living for 1,000 years. I think I’d be bored witless.
17. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one ability or quality, what would it be?
I want to be musical. I’m sure it would be far more beneficial to the human race if I developed co-ordination, will power or just a general ability to be less sarcastic or obsessive about the things I care about. But really I just want to wake up and play guitar.
18. You have the chance to meet someone with whom you can have the most satisfying love imaginable- the stuff of dreams. Sadly, you know that in 6 months the person will die. Knowing the pain that would follow, would you still want to meet the person and fall in love?I’ve actually come relatively close to this scenario and as horrific as recovering from it was, I don’t regret it for a second, so yes. A thousand times yes.
19. What if you knew your lover would not die, but instead would betray you?
I need more info here. Are we talking one random drunken shag or a full-blown affair? I think I’d take the first but not the second.
20. If you knew of a way to use your estate, following your death, to greatly benefit humanity, would you do it and leave only a minimal amount to your family?
Totally. I come from a family where we look after ourselves. Although I know my parents would leave me whatever they could I expect nothing from them and wouldn’t begrudge them leaving their estates to a worthy cause.
21. Do you prefer being around men or women? Do your closest friends tend to be men or women?
I can’t put down a clear preference here. I have formed very close friendships with both men and women and I love being around both for different reasons.
22. If you could use a voodoo doll to hurt anyone you chose, would you?
No.
23. While on a trip to another city, your spouse (or lover) meets and spends the night with an exciting stranger. Given that they will never meet again, and that you will not otherwise learn of the incident, would you want your partner to tell you about it?
Nope. I don’t want to know. In this case ignorance is bliss.
24. If the roles were reversed, would you reveal what you had done?
Actually I probably would because the guilt would eat me alive. Talk about double standards, huh?
25. Are there people you envy enough to want to trade lives with them?
Hell no! I wake up every single morning and I’m THRILLED to be me. There is no one on earth I’d rather be.
26. For an all expense paid 1 week vacation anywhere in the world, would you be willing to kill a beautiful butterfly by pulling off its wings?
Yes. Sorry butterfly…
27. What about stepping on a cockroach?
I’d just step on the cockroach anyway. I don’t need a reward as motivation.
28. Would you be willing to murder an innocent person if it would end hunger in the world?
I think I’d respect someone else’s decision to do so but I don’t think I could do it myself.
29. If God appeared to you in a series of vivid and moving dreams and told you to leave everything behind, travel alone to the Red Sea and become a fisherman, what would you do?
Take less hallucinogenic drugs.
30. What if you were told to sacrifice your child?
As above.
31. What is your most treasured memory?
Probably the first time I met my ex, Van. What followed was absolutely disastrous but it was the most intense connection I’ve ever made with another human being.
32. Have you ever hated anyone? If so, why and for how long?
Hate as in wanting to kill them? No. I refuse to let anyone have that much control of my feelings.
33. Would you rather be given $10,000 for your own use or $100,000 to give anonymously to strangers?
Show me the money… sorry anonymous strangers.
34. If you knew there would be nuclear war in 1 week, what would you do?
Dance, drink, fuck, fight… tell everyone I love them.
35. Would you accept 20 years of extraordinary happiness and fulfillment if it meant you would die at the end of the period?
Definitely.
36. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?
I’m not sure I’ve accomplished anything great yet. Watch this space though…
37. Is there anything you hope to do that is even better?
If I get to a point where I can write for a living then I’ll be satisfied. I’m not even talking published or on the best-seller list. I’d be happy with doing copy for fricking flyers and being my own boss.
38. Would you give up half of what you now own for a pill that would permanently change you so that 1 hour of sleep each day would fully refresh you?
Sleep has always seemed like such an incredible waste of time to me and since I own virtually nothing, half of that is very little, so yes, bring me my pills.
39. If you knew you could devote yourself to any single occupation- music, writing, acting, business, politics, medicine, etc- and be among the best and most successful in the world at it, what would you choose?
Writing. Duh! Although being the most successful and the best makes me think that you’d be producing something so banal that the average loser in the street likes it. I don’t want to be the Leona Lewis of literature. Can I rather have enough indie cult success to live a sort of comfortable life?
40. If you knew you had only a 10% chance of being so successful would you still put in the effort?
Welcome to my life.
41. If you went to a dinner party and were offered a dish you had never tried, would you want to taste it even if it sounded strange and not very appealing?
My mother taught me that you can’s say you don’t like something unless you taste it. I will taste pretty much anything within reason.
42. Do your close friends tend to be older or younger than you?
Mostly younger really. I think I have a very young spirit.
43. If the person you were engaged to marry had an accident and became a parapelegic, would you go through with the marriage or back out of it?
Real love is about the mind and the soul. If I loved them enough to actually agree to get married then yes.
44. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire; after saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any 1 item. What would it be?
Mine laptop… where all the drafteses of my works are.
45. How would you react if you were to learn that your mate had had a lover of the same sex before you knew each other?
I’m a weirdo, I’d think that was awesome. Are there pictures?
