Interview Meme
Nov. 13th, 2005 08:32 pmFiddled with changing my icons this morning and as a result, now have five spaces to spare and everything set to default. Heh. But now they're easier to find for me this way. Need to get myself some kind of general fanfic writing icon, though. And a good icon of the kiss from "Parting of the Ways" - I've yet to find an icon of it I really like.
Spent most of the day helping mum get half a moose picked up and stocked in the freezer. (It had been slaughtered and made into various kinds of meat related things.) There's now going to be a lot of moose for big family dinners, me thinks. Mmm. Moose.
My poor widdle cat has injured himself meanwhile. Limping on his right back leg. He could barely get up the stairs. Poor thing. I fed him a little fish in bed to comfort him. I don't think anything's broken, but I'll keep an eye on it.

1. Leave a comment saying you want to be interviewed.
2. I'll reply and give you five questions to answer.
3. You'll update your LJ with the five questions answered.
4. You'll include this explanation.
5. You ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed. And it just keeps going, and going, and going....
1. Will you ever leave Norway?
If I get a highly desirable job overseas, I might leave Norway for a while. But not for good. Norway is my home. I was born here, I intend to die and be buried here too.
2. What was your first fandom?
Online, Star Trek: Voyager.
3. Do you think you have improved as a writer?
Ooooh yeah.
Me, seven years ago:
There was no hurry. They both took their time, exploring one another throughfully, getting to know each other. He played with her hair as he loved to
do, she made circles on his chest with her fingers, tracing the lines.
When he moaned a bit as she shifted her position, she stopped in dead air, looking concern at him.
Me, now:
900 years and millions of languages and he couldn't think of one word the moment he sank into her for the feel of it. No word to capture it in memory with, but he'd have to burn a thousand deaths before forgetting this.
Her nails were burrowing into his skin, leaving marks. White to red to fading. He could feel the change and when he lifted his hand to her temple, he could feel the it there too. Her body was moving with his and somewhere in her mind, a flame was changing to a burn.
"Doctor," she whispered and because he had no words, he kissed her. Lips still swollen from his previous kisses, yielding to him again and even as kissing her was beginning to feel familiar, he knew every time would be like the first.
I think the second is just a weeeeee bit better. My English has certainly improved. Less mistakes for one thing, greater ability to play a bit with the language, larger vocabulary... I think there's a lot of difference. It was probably painfully obvious English was my second language when I started out, I'm not so sure it's that onbvious now. (A lot of people express surprise at it, anyhoo.)
4. If you honestly had to choose, which character would you shag without reservation?
Which character? Oy. Don't wanna fuck up my OTPs here, but if that wasn't a consideration, I'd do Warrick. Just once, to see if he's as good as he's hot.
5. If you had the option, which character would you destroy?
The caterpillar currently starring as Nick's mustache. No, Nick. No. You're not starring in a porn flick of the 80s named Crime Scene Indecency. Embrace your razor.
ETA: By special Italian privilege,
falena84 also gets to ask.
1. Doctor Who TPTB hire you to write the premiere for the next season. What would your episode be like?
Christopher Eccleston guest-stars in an adventure involving a rift in time caused by the evil alien currently disguised as Dr. Phil of American television. Nine and Ten launch their own TV show named Just the Doctors to defeat Dr. Phil and Rose spends a lot of time nursing a headache. In the Adults Only late night special, she does them both and has no comment to which one does it best.
2. One day you wake up, you look at yourself in the mirror and the reflection tells you...you're Bush. For some mysterious reason, your minds/bodies got switched. What would you do?
Have drastic plastic surgery before firing my entire cabinet, rename the country New Vinland, declare myself supreme Chief, chat up hot males, fund a lot of brain research, legaliz gay marriage and sing Imagine on national television in a pink tutu as my eternal love declaration to Fidel Castro. By then, I will probably be picked up by the men in white coats, but through the brain research I've funded, I've figured out how to jump back and leave Bush in his body and me back in mine.
3. You're riding in a lift with babydoll...what happens? Polite the weather is lovely conversation or a catfight?
I interview her for a special on batshit insanity as a deadly virus of our time.
4. What would you think people would miss the most about you if you left for good?
My fanfics.
5. Chocolate or tea?
Chocolate. I'll miss tea, though. Sniff.
