Interviewed by [livejournal.com profile] 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 ([livejournal.com profile] 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 . . .

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?

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?
