only for you, lauren, only for you [with all boring questions deleted]:12. A movie is being made about your life. Who would you cast to play yourself? that's a shitty question. i'm not gonna know any of the actors in sixty years.
13. Who would you cast to play your significant other? (if you have no significant other, cast someone anyway) ethan hawke <3
14. How would this movie end? us sitting on a porch with books in our hands and reading glasses, with tea and biscotti on the table.
16. You're going to die a natural death. What is the cause? i'll assume 'natural death' means 'not murder'. i'll either a) neurotically drive myself crazy to death, b) overdose, or c) die of old age peacefully in my sleep.
17. You're going to die a sudden, tragic death. What is the cause? overdose
31. Who is your favourite historical figure? pope joan, the guy who edited the last 11 verses into the book of mark.
32. Which historical figure could we have done without? i'll be silly and say all the ones i didn't have a crush on in history class. which makes the list like, two people.
41. What do you want to be when you grow up? in love with as many things as i am now, both serious and jocular. a professor in religion or classics. married. living in boston or some metropolis. a teaching intern at exeter in the classics department. i'll only wear miniskirts and red lipstick. the department meetings will be awesome.
44. What annoys you? men. my need for social interaction. my human qualities. the fact that i'm annoyed by the fact that i'm human. but mostly men.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON
49. McDonald's happy meals. weirdly appealing in a nostalgic manner, like those lunchables box sets.
57. What was your favourite after school special? animaniacs. i still remember the theme songs to that, pinky and the brain, and tiny tunes. i had such a big crush on buster bunny. and also, there was this fake educational cartoon show called historia or something, with a gigantic baby in diapers. it was completely ridiculous, but i once pulled a perfect score on a u.s. history quiz even though i had zoned out during class because i watched this show the previous afternoon and they had talked about spanish armadas.
60. Mounds or almond joy? i can't possibly choose. mounds are however many ounces of dark chocolate coconuty goodness, and almond joys add the joy of almonds to that.
62. To give or to recieve? you know, for all my crazy woman shit i really like receiving more than i like giving. so i pull all the crazy antics but don't have any of the maternal giving instincts. man i make a shitty girlfriend.
