jetpack_monkey | Interview Meme

Hey, kids! Remember this golden oldie?

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five [or so] questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. Post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your LJ.
4. Include this explanation and an offer to interview
someone else in the same post. (or a separate post, but not too long after.
Be honest here, people!)
5. When others ask to be interviewed, give them five questions.

Now, from

empressvesica:

1) How did you find your way to this little corner of internet insanity we call LJ? And a related Q - Why Uncountedchimes?

2) If you had a kingdom (fifedom, principality, whatever), what would be your motto?

3) What is one thing guaranteed to make you laugh?

4) If you could do anything tomorrow, without fear of failing spectacularly or starving to death, what would it be?

5) What real person do you most relate to and why? Or perhaps admire?

1) Can't rightly recall. I remember it was definitely my freshman year of college, and it had something to do with

darkestlily. I really got involved in LJ because of the Sunnydale Socks (check out

parker_abrams sometime). Now I'm addicted. Horribly, horribly addicted.

Side answer: Uncounted Chimes is a shortening of the phrase "Uncounted Chimes of Ink-Stained Hands," a term for my writing that I coined during one of my more pretentious/emo phases. I've been considering getting a rename token.

2) "To be great is to be misunderstood." - Ralph Waldo Emerson. Or possibly "Power: The Scrubbing Bubbles of Evil"

3) Douglas Adams.

4) Write a spec script and get hired as a television writer on Lost or Alias (I'd pick Veronica Mars, but that's a hard show to write for).

5) Of late, Douglas Adams. Tall, left-handed, cheeky. He was socially awkward, hated writing, but loved having written. He liked people well enough, but tended to get in the way of group activities. He was just too self-centered, but in an innocent way. As for sheer admiration, that's a tie between Adams and the brilliant Joss Whedon.
