Interviewed by thekams



1. If you could live anywhere in the world (besides where you live now) where would it be?
Japan, totally. In fact, I plan on living there someday-- and studying abroad within the next two years ^_^

2. Say you had...one hour...left to live. What would you pick to eat as your last meal?
Tempura udon, corn-on-the-cob (they don't really go together, but eh . . . ), and chocolate birthday cake, all with Calpis to drink.

3. Favourite genre of book, and your favourite book in that genre?
Is "classics" a genre? Perhaps I'd say Historical Fiction (but I'm very picky; I tend to like historical historical fiction :-P). Heh, I used to adore the American Girl series . . . at this point, I don't know . . . my favorite novel (besides Harry Potter, which is sort of class of its own, a cult rather than just a book, lol :-P) is probably Les Miserables . . .

Perhaps tragedy also counts as a genre? I love tragedies-- in stories, and in plays. I'm obsessed with Romeo and Juliet, which some argue isn't a bonafide tragedy (Fate at fault, or themselves?), and Julius Caesar is probably my favorite Shakespearian tragedy, after that, actually.

4. If you could travel back in time to any point in our history, when would you go to?
If I lived in any time before this century, I'd certainly be dead, from birth complications, chronic tonsilitis (until their removal), and burst appendix, but, those aside, I think I'd do well in the Edwardian or American Revolutionary eras.

5. If you could change your name to anything, what would you pick?
Lol! I just talked about this in a post in community (abstractthought), the other day! At this point, I think I'm pretty equated to Amy, but I always thought something longer and more romantically girly would suit me (my inside, anyway; on the outside I guess cute little "Amy" works . . . ). I like names that begin and end with A, I'm fond of the letter y, and I've always wanted to make a nickname . . . I guess I could do something like Amylia (it's a crazy spelling of Amelia) and could go by Amy . . . or Alysa, or something . . .



In other news, I am clearly subconsciously stressing about Music Man tryouts (we're supposed to get a phone call or an email by the end of today stating if we're in or out, or not, but I don't know if we get one if we're not in, so that's annoying . . . ), because I had a dream last night that I was back in high school (as as senior) and Mrs. Glenn and Mr. Ong cast the entire musical without a single senior. So all the seniors (like me, Kristina, Nichole, Andrew, Dan O'Brien, Dan Johnson, etc . . . ) who were those who would have otherwise been in the musical (and leads, probably, too!), were lined up outside the Roosevelt cafeteria (where they were having their super-secret first cast meeting! Lol . . . no place like an elementary school, to do that, lol . . . ), shouting about how the whole casting system was totally unfair . . . lol . . .

I slept in today. It felt really, really good . . .

1. Japan would be one of the places I'd consider moving to, too. I'd love to teach ESL there someday.
2. What's Tempura udon, and Calpis? (I love corn on the cob!)
3. I'd say classics is a genre, yupp.
4. I'd be dead from the tonsilitis as well. That, and asthma!
5. I love making nicknames out of names. I also like that spelling of Amelia! The 'y' makes it look so much more interesting!

Interview me!! LoL

1) Ooh, you should do the JET program, with me! Lol . . .
2) Tempura udon is udon (thick, white noodles, in a salty, miso or soy sauce-- or both--based broth) with a piece of lightly fried giant jumbo shrimp. Calpis is a white, carbonated-less soft drink in Japan that tastes sort of like lemonade without the lemon . . . there is like no other way to describe it, lol . . . Mmm! ^_^
3) ^_^!
4) Yea, tonsil-less freaks! Woot! Lol . . . You might not have asthma, though; arguably, our uber-clean lifestyle these days causes asthma (I found this out from National Geographic . . . )! O.o . . .
5) I decided I was rather fond of it, as well. It's close enough to my name now, too, that I could probably lie about it, lol . . . Amylia . . . ("Amy" is so depressing for not having a nickname!)

1) If you could make yourself look however you wanted, what would you look like (different features, different hair color/eye color, etc . . . )?
2) What is your favorite type of weather?
3) If you could play one Harry Potter character in the movies (whether they are cast or not, or even whether or not they would even look like you/stay the same age), who would you play?
4) If you could have whatever pet you wanted, wild-ness and care-inconvenience disregarded, what would you keep?
5) (Because I do this with everyone, lol :-P) If you could eat dinner with three people from history, dead or alive, who would you choose?

[crazyaphrodite.livejournal.com]

Ooo-- Interview me!

[tabular-rasa.livejournal.com]

1) What time-era of fashion would you most like to adopt to wear every day?
2) What song(s) would you like played at your funeral (I am so morbid, lol . . . but I have this picked out for me!)?
3) If you could change one thing about your personality, what would it be?
4) If you could be an Animagus, what would you choose to be (not what you think you would be . . . )?
5) If you could play any role in any musical (and any range, or gender, even, including not your own!), what would you play (your dream role)?

[hikaruuchiha.livejournal.com]

Me! Interview me!

[tabular-rasa.livejournal.com]

1) (Because I liked this one) If you could play one Harry Potter character in the movies (whether they are cast or not, or even whether or not they would even look like you/stay the same age), who would you play?
2) Because I love Invader ZIM and you have an icon (woot!) :-P what is your favorite character from it (assuming you do indeed actually watch/have watched it and didn't just get it because it was cute, in which case I will feel very dumb . . . O.o . . . )?
3) If you could transport yourself to any one spot in the world, anytime you wanted, where would that one spot be?
4) What element (European or Asian, doesn't matter to me) do you think best suits you?
5) If you could play an instrument (besides any you might play, now?), what would you play?

3. Classics is a genre; but moreoever, who out there argues against Romeo and Juliet being a proper tragedy? Shakespeare is what I do but I still haven't heard of this, and it seems awfully hard to comprehend. I mean, the hubris/tragic flaw is rather limited, whereas it shines in the other Shakespeare tragedies, but still: humans are foolish and everyone dies seems like a pretty solid tragedy to me. Hm.

Interview me?

[tabular-rasa.livejournal.com]

I've read that somewhere; I, for one, think it is a tragedy; the impetuous behavior of young love in the two could just as easily be a tragic flaw as Hamlet's procrastination and ambivalence, lol . . . Plus, I love tragedy, and I love Romeo and Juliet; not a very sound deduction, but, hey . . .

1) Since we're on the subject, what's your favorite Shakespeare play?
2) If you could marry a fictional character, who would you chose?
3) If you could assassinate (not just murder; they have to be famous enough :-P) one person, who would it be (or why not anyone at all)?
4) What is one word you could never eliminate from your vocabulary?
5) If you could eat dinner with three people from history, dead or alive, who would you choose?

[tabular-rasa.livejournal.com]

1) What is one thing you would be willing to change about yourself?
2) What is your ideal man like?
3) What does your ideal wedding dress look like (because I know you love that, lol . . . )?
4) If you could speak five languages fluently, what would you speak (and why)?
5) If you could hold any governmental position, in any country, what position would you hold?
