1) Which wild animal would you like to rear?

The African Wild Dog, I'd probably lean towards a canine no matter what, and they're uber-cool.

Marcello Mastroanni is just wow.

REALLY difficult, being Josephine Baker would be cool, not only being a performer/singer, living in Paris, working in the resistance, adopting all those children... it just seems so cool.

W.C. Fields

Another really difficult question... I don't know.

13)Your ideal place to live?

Invent a machine that controls the length of finger nails.

[Cult]

Foxes. They're adorable and fairly harmless. I also love frogs, but I think having too many of them would make me feel like I was harvesting the next plague.

2) Which literary character would you want to encounter?
Most of my favorite literature is populated by people I'd probably rather avoid.

3) What piece of music / song would you like to inhabit?
Europe's "The Final Countdown."

4)Whom do you regard as beauty incarnate?
Rita Hayworth, maybe.

5)Person whose looks you'd thieve?
Jen stole my answer, so I'll go with... Namie Amuro. Though if I did, I'd gain a bit of weight 'cause she could use some.



6) Which historic figure would you choose to be?
Hmm...they all end so badly. So, none.

7)Your first crush?
Some guy who was on this cheesy vampire-related show I watched when I was like, 6. I was so jealous of the girl who played his love interest.

Venice.

Shiina Ringo.

13)Your ideal place to live?

15)What were your childhood obsessions?
Nintendo, MuchMusic's yearly dance music compilations, Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

16)Who's recently been loitering in your dreams?
No one, my dreams are usually really random and unconnected. Last night I had one that I saw Faust on TV, and it was somehow re-released in really crappy technicolor--which made me mad.

17)What's your "cunning plan"? (It's gotta be something preposterous.)
Find a way to live forever and have the government pay for all my living expenses (no matter what country I'm in at the time) so I only have to do work/hobbies that I actually want to.

[SpaceOddity]

5)Person whose looks you'd thieve?
Jen stole my answer, so I'll go with... Namie Amuro. Though if I did, I'd gain a bit of weight 'cause she could use some.

In a city with a movie theater, grocery store in walking distance.

Nobody really. They remain pretty sparse.

17)What's your "cunning plan"? (It's gotta be something preposterous.)
Write and direct movies without studio interference while volunteer firefighting on the side. I guess that's not preposterous or cunning. So I will add in that I get to shit on a toilet made out of gold while looking at a Sistine Chapel ceiling in my ceiling.
