Interviewed by saffronhare

[triadruid]

Here are the rules:
1 -- Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2 -- I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3 -- You'll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.
4 -- You'll include this explanation.
5 -- You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.

1. You've spoken of "dangerous resonances" being a signifant reason why you and I shouldn't be a pair. Which ones do you mean?
   
   I think we have some similarities in our disfunctions, as well as our adaptive strategies. Mutual anger flashpoints would be a big one. Pretexts and assumed communication ("but I thought you knew...") might be another. Height and build, though, wow what a pleasant resonance. Plus, if we ever wrestled and meant it, I'm pretty sure somebody'd end up in the hospital. Each time.
   
   
2. If your life would allow you to cross-dress more frequently, would you do it for your own pleasure -- or do you enjoy it primarily for its effect on others?
   
   Yes; I'd wear things like skirts more often, because they really can be more comfortable. Ditto being able to wear something 'short' on my bottom half in the summer would help immensely with my overheating issues. But bras, heels, and makeup? That's strictly for the reactions they get.
   
   
3. Could you pretty please make it a personal mission to make sure I get
   to go see Curse of the Were-Rabbit with my huband on the big
   screen?
   
   Already working on it, dear. How does a matinee on 10/8 or 10/9 sound?
   
   
4. Act for a moment as if you believed you had a patron (not necessarily your one and only, for all time). Who would it be?
   
   I haven't the faintest idea (which is part of my problem). I worked with elemental forces successfully for a while when I first got into paganism & druidry, so probably a wind/weather/storm deity? Or a healer, maybe.
   
   
5. What's one self-indulgent thing that you're certain would make you a better person, if only people would let you indulge in said thing more often?
   
   If I had time to work out like I want to (which isn't so much a people-won't-let-me as a time-isn't-there I would be much happier. But that requires discipline... If it has to be something that people are preventing me from doing, I'd say going around in skirts (see #2, above).

Ok I'm game

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

1. What made you choose druidry over other pagan belief systems?
2. Go back 5 years in your life. What one thing would you change that year?
3. What friend do you miss/regret losing track of the most, ever?
4. Pick one superpower, but then pick the fatal flaw that balances it, WhiteWolf-style).
5. Would you rather sing a song or write one?

[zylch.livejournal.com]

I assume this means you're asking questions too...

Oops, yeah.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Forgot to put the header on...

Re: Oops, yeah.

[zylch.livejournal.com]

so ask already :)

Wasn't sure if you were actually in, or not.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

1. Who gave you the idea you're not beautiful?
2. What single act of kindness means the most to you when someone does it for you?
3. Would you kiss me if I wasn't your brother?
4. If you could stop aging at some hypothetical (physical) age and live the rest of your natural lifespan there, what would it be?
5. Fire or ice?

Ok, sure

[weavingfire.livejournal.com]

I'll go for it.

Re: Ok, sure

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

1. You can gain wings and the power to fly, but you'll lose the use of your (human) arms and hands. Do you take the option?
2. What color eyes would you *like* to have (octarine is fine)?
3. Who from history would you most want to spend sundown to sunup with?
4. What would you do with them in that time (assume roughly 12 hours, and you can have slept beforehand if you choose)?
5. Boxers or briefs? You can specify which you prefer on whom.

[agrnmn.livejournal.com]

What the hell...I'm losing track of all this but its fun.

Thank gods for mailed comments

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

1. Why are you such an asshole?
2. Are you *sure* we're not related? And would it change anything if we were?
3. Assume you could become a literal dragon with incalculable wealth, strength, and longevity, but it meant losing your human family & friends. Would you?
4. Who is your favorite blood relative?
5. What is your least favorite role you've ever played on a stage?

[greektoomey.livejournal.com]

I would like to be interviewed, please and thank you.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

1. Do you smoke for pleasure or habit?
2. Do you feel your life would be better with more pharmaceuticals in it (legal or not)? If so, which ones?
3. Why Seattle?
4. How many licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop?
5. What is your quest?

[fionnabhar.livejournal.com]

Ack! I missed this one! Sure, then.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

1. Pick a time period & place to live in. You can take your family, and your job, more-or-less (assume fluency in language of the place you choose, if necessary).
2. Favorite ice cream?
3. Do you prefer having two girls, or would you have rather had one/two boys?
4. Innocence is overrated. Tell me something about your life that proves it.
5. How many books is your series up to now, in your head & heart?

[capriciouslass.livejournal.com]

Ok, I'm in.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

1. Tell me something fun that happened in the last two weeks, which you *chose* to do.
2. Do you ever wish you were taller? Why or why not?
3. You've been promoted to mid-level management, with control over your department's QC, priorities, and budget. Wax eloquent about the changes you make in your first six months.
4. What "breaks" you, in the sense of getting you to stop moving in automatic pilot mom/job/gopher mode. Yes, I'm being subversive; I want to know how we can slow you down when you're moving too fast to sit on.
5. Tell me something wonderful about your husband that I *don't* know.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

OMG Please wear skirts more often. :)
Upside: I will defend you from the gender-paranoid.
Downside: I will also grab your crotch more often.

Also, questions, please.

[ysabel.livejournal.com]

Downside: I will also grab your crotch more often.

This is a downside?

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Only insofar as it could get you arrested. When she says "more" often, she means it.

[ysabel.livejournal.com]

so probably a wind/weather/storm deity?

Hee hee hee.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Eh?

[ysabel.livejournal.com]

Sorry, just thinkin' 'bout my own...er...relationship. Yeah, that's a good word.

(Nice icon, btw.)

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Heh. Thanks for that visual.
That's ysabel... live, late-breaking, and kinda wrong, as they say on the radio.

[kittenpants.livejournal.com]

Well, Taranis *does* try to screw triadruid at every opportunity... ;)

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Ysa is screwing storm gods? I missed something, somewhere....

[zylch.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely sure, but she might be referring to your reaction to thunderstorms? Or something else entirely, quoth the Marchioness of Bolivious. But whatever it is, it's apparently funny.

[chainwoman.livejournal.com]

Ask away!

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

1. If you could drink at work, would you?
2. What makes you happiest when you do it?
3. Boxers, briefs, or regimental? Specify yourself, or your target, as you see fit.
4. Do you ever consider cutting your hair?
5. You've been promoted to Mayor of your hometown. What's your first priority in office?

ask away. :)

[matchgirl42.livejournal.com]

I get the feeling you'll come up with some good ones. (no pressure now! hehe).

Muah. Ha. Ha.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

1. Assuming money is no object, what would you like to do for a living?
2. What do you wish you knew how to do?
3. How often do you contemplate cutting your hair short (short being less-than-shoulder-length, for this question)?
4. To what do you contribute being crowned the Queen of the Slow People?
5. What's your least favorite kink?
