Sam's Great Big Questionnaire
Because I've been remiss and these things are oddly relaxing.
1.) You're stuck in a room for an hour with a chalkboard. What would you draw?
I usually doodle faces or hands.
2.) Which is worse -- an innocent person wrongfully imprisoned, or a guilty one set free?
An innocent person wrongfully imprisoned.
3.) Right now, given your current mood and mental state, what song can you most relate to? (give lyrics)
The Atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how...
The clouds above opened up and let it out.
I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole.
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
Making islands where no island should go.
Oh no.
Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door have been silenced forever more.
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before
Oh no.
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
So come on, come on
4.) Do you think that sporks are the greatest invention ever? (You know -- that half-spoon, half-fork thingie?)
No. The greatest invention ever was clearly the Roomba.
5.) Who is more badass -- AC Slater or Uncle Jesse?
Had to look them up on Wikipedia, but going by that data I'd say Uncle Jesse.
6.) Would you rather eat at the Peach Pit or the Max?
Neither. They both sound painful.
7.) Do you honestly believe trees are green?
I believe that chlorophyll appears green to our range of vision.
8.) Would you ever sacrifice everything (like, your LIFE) for a friend?
Yes.
9.) Why are there religions?
Because people need a way to explain the universe and it's easier to believe in a being greater than one's self controlling things behind the scenes than the randomness of the universe. And I say this as an occasional church-goer.
10.) How do you feel about politics?
They're a necessary evil.
11.) Do you think most people are disrespectful?
I think most people are uneducated.
12.) Why can’t pigs fly?
They don't have wings. Or maybe they can through willpower, and only do it while we're not watching.
13.) How tempting are buttons?
Very. I like things that go click in just the right way.
14.) Do you walk up the escalator or go for a ride?
I walk up, usually.
15.) If the US had to sacrifice a state, which one would you vote for and why?
One of the flat ones, perhaps?
16.) What do you think about California?
I think it sounds very nice in theory.
17.) Why is the sky blue?
Because it reflects the ocean, which reflects the sky, which reflects the ocean, which reflects the sky . . . or it has something to do with the visible spectrum. I'd have to look it up.
18.) Why is the earth round?
Form follows function.
19.) Do you think fish are cute?
No. Though koi are pretty.
20.) How do you feel about bald people?
I applaud the ones who are proudly and unapologetically bald, like Patrick Stewart. The ones who try to cover it with a toupe or a combover get my pity.
21.) If Aerosmith and the Rolling Stones got into a fight, who would win?
The Stones. They're old but they're tough.
22.) Did you read any Goosebumps books when you were a kid?
No. I don't think I've ever seen the Goosebumps books.
23.) Name a movie villain who scared you as a kid.
For a few years I was afraid of those spirits or ghosts that came out of the Ark at the end of the first Indiana Jones movie.
24.) Do we all go a little mad sometimes?
Yes. Mwah ha ha.
25.) Would you rather have an incurable disease that was not deadly, but excruciatingly painful, or would you rather have a painless disease where you only had a very short time left to live?
Painless but short. It's about the quality of life, not the length of it.
26.) What song do you wish you had written? Why?

I don't know why

And you didn't say why you wish you'd written that song.
no subject
Was I supposed to say why? Because I feel it's highly applicable to my life.
no subject
It's rather applicable to mine as well.
no subject
It's going on the snogging soundtrack.
no subject
I must say, I'm really looking forward to that one.

"Ache for You" is more hopeful than sad, really; I can upload it if you haven't heard it. But "Transatlanticism" is . . . yearning, I think.
