181. What are your greatest sources for wisdom? Old people.
182. When you were little, where did your parents tell you babies come from? I don’t remember not knowing they came from “the mummy’s tummy”. I also know that I figured out pretty quickly what was required to get the baby in there in the first place.
183. What is your favorite band? It changes, I suppose, but stable loves are: The Mars Volta, Pink Floyd, Kings of Leon, Tool, A Perfect Circle.
184. What’s the best cheesy 80′s song? Aw, damn, the one I wanted to list was actually released in 1979. Boo. Ok, so how about Locomotion by Kylie Minogue for extra pop cheese?
185. What’s the best kind of movie to see on a date? Depends on how long you’ve known the person. If it’s for a short time, comedy, action, something less serious and not romantic; if it’s been a long time, just about anything goes.
186. Do you like to sit in the front, middle or back of the Movie Theater? Mid-back.
187. Have you ever been inside an abandoned building? No.
188. Under what circumstances would you agree to work for free? If it was for someone I know and they needed the help; volunteer work.
189. Candles or strobe lights? Candles, please. Strobe lights make me want to throw up, so I don’t think I’d make a very good raver.
190. Do you think the Lord of the Rings movies are true to the books or did Hollywood change the story too much? Haven’t read the books and don’t intend to; haven’t seen even the whole of the first film, but I do intend to see them all. One day.
191. When you see a stranger on the street does your first reaction lean towards thinking of this person as a potential friend or as a potential threat? Depends if they’re male or female, to be honest. Sad, sad world.
192. Is it natural for human beings to fear and distrust each other, or is it cultural? Bit of both, most likely.
193. What do you really want to buy? Sandals, because it was hot today.
194. You have to choose. Would you be happier marrying someone rich for their money or living in the streets and subway tunnels with someone you love? I’m not sure love can withstand street living, to be honest. I don’t think I would be happy in either situation. I couldn’t marry for money and I wouldn’t want to risk my desired level of (rather modest) comfort, either.
195. If someone wanted to understand you what book could they read that would help? Ooh, hm, I think The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons would do a good job. They should analyse the character Tatiana because she experiences some of the inner conflicts I do (desire for family vs. independence, strength vs. fear, etc.).
196. Do you think it’s odd that Americans have freedom of religion and yet call themselves ‘one nation under god’? Yes, it’s a load of hypocritical bullshit.
197. In what sense are you a minority? I’m an animal rights supporting vegan, and I’m still a minority in terms of women attending university worldwide (though I don’t really feel like one since there are lots of women at my university).
198. Are you anti social? No, not really. I do like my solitary time though.
199. Do you photograph well? Sometimes.
200. Do you think that human beings would survivor through a nuclear winter? No, we’d probably start eating each other until there’s no one left, and wars would break out over scarce resources, etc. We’re a bit stupid at times, really.
