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?

OK, anything for a weird life.

Describe your strangest pair of socks

I have a black pair with lots of little white cherubs on.

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

Alas, no. No real camera capability, have I.

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

A black fedora.

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

"Venus in Furs" and the Ode to Joy simultaneously. For three and a half days.

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

I'll go for cute and sleepy.

Books or food?

As I discovered when an undergrad on a very limited budget, books.

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

Probably SF, and ideally something in the Delany direction, because he really understands the variety of ways humans relate to each other.

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?

Most of the thoughts to come to mind are a bit private to post here, but if one leaves out a couple of moments of making a really big difference to people in ways not mine to talk about, I'd take my wedding.

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.

Database design. Molecular biology. Particularly, where the two fields overlap.

What random bit of trivia do you know?

How to pick just one from countless thousands, yeef !

You can sing sonnets to the tune of "Stairway to Heaven".

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?

Through friends in common, and because you are cool.
