ms_scarletibis and beloved_77.From Scarlet:
1. What's your favorite film of all time?
I'm always terrible at this one, because I can never settle on just one. I'll go with "The Princess Bride" - it's a classic.
2. Did you ever dream of being a princess as a little girl? If yes, and given the opporotunity to be one today, would you take it?
Probably... I was big into the Disney princesses as a kid. Oh, and when I was a teenager, I wanted to marry Prince William and become Queen of England. :) Given the opportunity today... are we talking fairy tale princess or real-life princess? Because those Disney girls always seem to have evil witches or stepmothers coming after them, and I could do without that kind of stress. Being a real-life princess... hmm, it could be cool, if I'd eventually get to be queen and run the country. But those things are mostly just ceremonial, so I think I'd rather be President.
3. If you had to choose between the "perfect body" and being a genius, which would it be?
Well, I'm already a genius, so can I have a perfect body on top of that? :)
4. If you had one wish for the world, what would it be?
Well, world peace sounds a little too Miss America cliché... so does ending poverty, I guess, but I think that's what I'd wish for.
5. Who would you rather hang with--Riley or Angelus?
Er - does Angelus want to kill me? No question that he'd be the more entertaining of the two, but I have to say, I'd rather be bored than dead. Assuming, of course, that we're talking about the original, super-evil Angelus of the good old days, not the namby-pamby post-soul Angelus who sneaks into people's bedrooms to draw pictures and kill fish. I could totally take that guy.
From IB:
1. What did you dislike most about being an only child?
Probably my parents' overprotectiveness and increased pressure on me. There actually isn't much I disliked about it - I was never lonely as a child, I didn't get spoiled, and I feel that spending a lot of time with adults meant that I was always more mature than my peers. I had all of my parents' attention - but that also meant that they felt they had to do a really good job with me, because I was their only chance.
2. What was the first thing you ever wrote?
Well, I was "writing" as young as age 5, when I would make up stories and dictate them to my mother, who typed them up on the typewriter. They were mostly stories about princesses - I remember one about a princess and a wolf that turned into a prince, and another that had something to do with a golden pearl necklace... I don't think Disney will be clamoring for the rights anytime soon, lol. My first real story (like, with a semi-coherent plot that didn't require the use of a stenographer) was probably when I was around 10 or so. I can't remember the title, but it was about two sisters who had this evil magic spider in their backyard, and the younger sister got turned into stone when the spider bit her. (This was inspired by my parents' purchase of a stone fountain statue of a little girl with a watering can, which they put in the garden in the backyard.)
3. You've got three wishes. What would they be?
Um... love, lots of money, and I guess that poverty thing.
4. What do you find most perplexing about the opposite sex?
Oh, lord, what don't I find perplexing? How about how to find a good one that likes me? That's got me pretty flummoxed.
5. Whom do you most admire and why?
I've never really had role models or idols or anything. As a woman in politics who wants to work in the White House someday, I'm pretty impressed by Hillary Clinton these days.
