It's another Interview-type-meme-thingy.

17catherines, and if I've forgotten to answer one of these from long ago, poke me.
1. Leave me a casual comment of no particular significance, like a lyric to your current favorite song, your favorite kind of sandwich, or maybe your favorite game. Any remark, meaningless or not.
2. I will respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in your own post.
5. When others respond with a desultory comment, you will ask them five questions.
And in answer to the wonderful woman...
1. What feast would you cook for me, given the opportunity?
Difficult to say with your current restrictions. I would consider it, however, as a challenge, and include:
a) A cold soup
b) A hot-meat-and-salad
c) Something that required slow delectable degustation
d) And a light, elegant flummery-mousse-chocolate-mould-within-limits sort of dessert.
2. What theatrical role do you most want to play?
Beatrice, or a super villain. The Evil Stepmother in some Christmas Panto, that guarantees lots of Boos and Hisses, and little children cowering in fear at my hooked nose.
3. What question would you ask, if you were interviewing yourself?
What are the secrets that you hide with the smokescreen, and have any been found out with this evil-yet-incisive question?
4. What books do you have in your handbag right now?
I'm going to be mean and only include now, as versus 15 hours ago which was when I glimpsed these questions, and before I had dropped off an awful lot at a Bookcrossing Zone.
5. What change would you most like to make to the world?
I can't bear to see unhappy children, so it's a difficult decision between making sure the world's children are fed properly, to ensuring no unwanted girl babies are abandonned any more in India and China. Can I do both? Please?

All these because I was away in Canberra, and they tend to sneak in...

The fish bites the hook! Oh teh noes you've got me!
Date: 2008-01-15 05:09 pm (UTC)until I came to my earthly home
Far away I found life's dream
drifting on a silver beam
You'd better believe it
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
Travelling twice the speed of light
Orion's starts are high tonight
The gentle madness touched my hand
Now I'm just a cosmic man
