Five questions from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sarahsworld:
1. What do you really want to do before you leave for college?
Kiss a boy. It's silly and teenagery, I know, but I want a gorram summer romance. Most of my friends have heard my "whyyyy don't the boys like me?" rant already, I'm sure, so I won't go into it here, but-- whyyyy? I'm not talking Twu Wuv or anything, just someone kissable and nice.
Also, I want to finish the story I'm working on. It's appalling how lazy I am about it-- writing, as it turns out, is *hard*, and I really have to kick myself in the butt to get anything wriiten. So I might not finish, realistically speaking, but I'd like to.
2. Favorite current band, and why; describe your favorite song of theirs.
I'm riding a wave of TMBG love right now, since I've seen them live. Favorite song, without question, would have to be "Why Does the Sun Shine," although "Bangs" is a damn close second. I love the mix of geekery, weirdness and sweet-natured poppiness you get in some of their songs.
However, I reserve the right to change my answer after I see Ben Folds at the end of the month.
3. Name three people you would trust with your life, other than your parents.
This is a tough one. It occurs to me that, while I've made great amounts of progress in this having-a-social-life thing, over the course of high school, I tend to let friendships slide when I don't have school or BBG or whatever exterior thing it is that forces me to interact with people. So I don't know right now who, besides my sister (she's bratty, sure, but I think she'd pull through in a crisis, and I like to think I would too), I would name.
4. Favorite fandom character *ever*, and what about them makes you go squee.
Xander. He doesn't get as much fic devoted to him as I'd like, except for when he's being slashed with a vampire, but written properly he's got so many interesting things going on. I'm lovingnwhepcat's Xander stuff right now, because quite often she makes me go "Yup, that's Xander." And that's harder to do than you'd think. I've tried to write im a few times, but I always feel like I miss something important about him-- either he's too happy-go-lucky, which is no good because our boy's got quite a lot of anger at times, or he's to grim, which doesn't work because outside of the most awful circumstance (and even in some of those; see: eye, aftermath of removal of) he's using humor to ease the tension around him. So considerate, that boy, and sometimes so monumentally dumb.
I'm also a fan of Connor as he appears on-screen and in a very few fics, and of LOP-style Neville. Also, Dawn, as I see her in my head, has a lot of interesting stuff going on that I don't think gets dealt with a lot. And poor, dear, dead Jonathan. And Oz. And Anya. And I'll stop now.
5. Film-Arwen: hot or not?
Not. Objectively pretty, but in too remote a way. I can't imagine what Aragorn sees in her, unless the point is that's she's his perfect marble-statue ice-princess, onto which he can project whateverthehell he likes. Eowyn's much more interesting.
If you want to be interviewed, leave a comment and I'll ask you five questions of my own.
