A variation on the 3 questions meme

[tanaise]

Because I am bored, and it is apparently no longer Chance's job to start slapfights for my amusement.


Ask me three questions, and I'll answer the interesting ones. :)

I make no promises, particularly about the uninteresting questions.

1. Are there really no stupid questions, just stupid people?

2. Have you ever called someone stupid to their face?

3. Cheese: what kind?

hmm.

1.) there are definately stupid people, so that would imply by extension that they would have stupid questions. but perhaps stupidity is notable by a lack of questioning of things? Still, I'm going out on a limb here and voting that yes, stupid questions exist.

2.) Of course I have. Most notably, when I was trying to explain the difference between hard, floppy, and compact disks to my mother, while driving to the flea market one Sunday when I was college aged. She was not understanding them, so at one point I was very exasperated and said, not quite far enough under my breath, "Maybe you'd understand if you weren't so stupid." She understandably was upset by this and pulled over, I was kicked out of the car. She then drove around the block or two, pulled over again, I got in, and we continued to the market and never spoke of it again. (well, except years later, when we would use it as an example of how not to communicate.)

3.) riccotta. I would eat it straight from the container.

1) If one is truly sick of love, how much comfort are apples, really?

2) If they are significantly comforting, why? Is it the fibre? The shine? The ability to pretend that they are the head of the despised former lover, being crunched merrily between the teeth? Something else?

3) What should be in the accompanying flagon?

1) More comfort than love, that's for sure.

2) They're appetite suppressants. Plus, they keep the (Luv) Doctor away.

3) Cider!

1. Whom do you consider a good role model?

2. What's one thing that has happened to you that you never expected to have happen?

3. What is the best sport to watch, the best to participate in, and the one to avoid?

[tanaise.livejournal.com]

1.) My mom's a good role model. My aunt. My grandmother, to an extent, though not for personal relations.

2.) I don't know. I'll refine it to 'at the time" and say that I remember exactly where I was when one of my very very favorite boys told me that he kept looking at me (I had just said, 'Why do you keep looking at me?") because I was beautiful.

3.) Best to watch (and participate in) is Soccer. the avoidance one is football.

1) Which do you prefer? Pennsylvania or Michigan?

2) What's your current WIP?

3) If you could pick someone from history to swap places with, who would it be?

[tanaise.livejournal.com]

1.) PA is still the most beautiful place I have ever lived. Michigan was nice, but lacked the hills I need. Up here, it's pretty much the best of all reasonable settings--mountains in the backgrounds, water nearby, and an economy that supports the sort of jobs that I can do.

2.) I'm always working on about 42 million things at the same time, so this is always hard to answer but the novel is my angel story, 'Falling", and the short stories are "Pricks" which is turning actually into a russian folktale and "Significant Change" which amuses me tremendously (were moose!) but has no plot thus can't go anywhere until if finds one.

3.) This is really hard because much as I like *studying* ancient history, as a modern girl, I don't really think I'd want to give up things like the bill of rights, feminism, air conditioning, etc. So if I was to switch places with someone I'd want relatively modern, american, and liberated. So probably someone like Elizabeth Blackwell or the suffragettes or their ilk.
