Random delurking day! (well, on my LJ at least)

aka, I was really bored and came up with random questions that I wanted to know about people. Feel free to answer wherever (but I would love to see the answers!).

1. Describe your strangest pair of socks



2. Can I see pictures of your bookshelves (or book stacks or piles or boxes)?



3. If you were a hat, what kind of hat would you want to be?



4. What's the worst song you've gotten stuck in your head before?



5. My rats: evil killers of paper bags, cute sleepy fuzzballs or embarrassingly tame yogie-drop eaters?



6. Books or food?



7. If you could live in a book, what genre would it belong to? How come?



8. Stealing from the movie Wonderful Life (also known as After Life): if you were told that you could only carry one memory with you into the afterlife, which would you choose?



9. What do you know a lot about that most people don't? Most people here should be most people, not most people in that field. I specify this because I know how badly I prevaricate when I'm asked about something that I'm good at. Or if you still feel weird, what do you know a lot about that I don't (I don't know about a lot of stuff)? Why is it cool? Tell me about it!



10. What random bit of trivia do you know?



11. And finally, the question I've always wanted to know the answer to but was too embarrassed to ask: how in the world did you find my LJ and how come you're still reading?

Describe your strangest pair of socks

I don't really have strange socks, but my definition of normal is perhaps broader than other people's. I have a fuzzy blue chenille pair that look pretty funny when I wear them. My favorite pair however is the pair of toe-up regia stripe socks I made in stripes of hot pink, purple, orange, pea green, and navy. (you just know I had to work knitting in somehow)

Can I see pictures of your bookshelves (or book stacks or piles or boxes)?

You could if I had a camera. Mine are in piles and suitcases for the record. I have yet to acquire a bookshelf but I really want one.

If you were a hat, what kind of hat would you want to be?

A sleek cocktail hat worn to one side with black iridescent coque feathers, coque tips, rhinestones, and a net veil.

What's the worst song you've gotten stuck in your head before?

Not sure, but definitely on the shortlist is a little ditty one of our pianists made up for one of our kid's shows. It goes:

I may be little, but I'm not a baby, I'm not a baby, I'm not a baby. No. I'm. NOT!

Once it's in, it's stuck and will be for hours. The tune is irritatingly cutesy and twee.

My rats: evil killers of paper bags, cute sleepy fuzzballs or embarrassingly tame yogie-drop eaters?

cute sleepy fuzzballs.

Books or food?

AUGH! A book with great descriptions of food? Um, I think I would have to choose food if I could still have knitting and tv and the internet.

If you could live in a book, what genre would it belong to? How come?

Fantasy. Because of all the magic. Preferably magic and good food.

Can I live in a knitting book?

Stealing from the movie Wonderful Life (also known as After Life): if you were told that you could only carry one memory with you into the afterlife, which would you choose?

AUGH! again! Probably when I read my bio for the first time in the playbill of my first professional show. I feel kind of shallow for saying that, but it was the last time I remember feeling pure, unadulterated pride, joy, and satisfaction of accomplishment. It was wonderful. I feel like my memory should involve loved ones, but that particular memory is so strong for me right now.

The other memory I might choose is a time when I was riding the bus home from high school. At that moment for no particular reason I was completely at peace and grateful for who and where I was. It was strange and wonderful.

What do you know a lot about that most people don't? Most people here should be most people, not most people in that field. I specify this because I know how badly I prevaricate when I'm asked about something that I'm good at. Or if you still feel weird, what do you know a lot about that I don't (I don't know about a lot of stuff)? Why is it cool? Tell me about it!

Hmm...I know a lot of random weird things that most people don't know about. A lot of people in my corner of lj probably know a lot about them however. To name a few:

-cyberpunk, new media theory (used to anyway), knitting, buffy (the amount I know frightens most normal people)

I feel like there must be other, more interesting things, but I can't think of them right now.

What random bit of trivia do you know?

4 bits of information is a nibble! (because 8 bits is a byte)

And finally, the question I've always wanted to know the answer to but was too embarrassed to ask: how in the world did you find my LJ and how come you're still reading?

I don't remember. I think someone linked to something you'd posted and I read a post about food and homesickness that really resonated with me. And then you kept posting things that resonated or I was interested in, so I kept reading.

This was fun! Thanks for asking!
