The vierge-en-trop interview, because I have no opinion on socks.

[metawidget]

1. What animal can you most relate to?

I think probably a horse: mobility, skittishness, work ethic and enjoyment of comforts like rolling in the dust and the greenest grass possible.

2. What question have you always hoped someone would ask here, but has yet to appear?

That one, only I like the flexibility without having a question ready. Probably a question starting with "what really happened when you…"

3. Do you believe in life after death?

No, I believe this life is it, aside from whatever legacy you leave, and that you don't get to look down and watch people enjoy that legacy, only look forward to it being enjoyed.

4. Ideally, where do you see yourself in five years?

In a house with a yard, that we and the bank own, with rottenfruit and Noisette and a kid that won't be named Ruggles. Home from challenging, meaningful work at StatCan or some other shining tower of geekery.

5. What is/are your favorite song(s) to sing in the shower?

Probably eels' Grace Kelly Blues (goddamn right).

my answers:
1. The raven or the bear. the raven for its sense of humour in the face of death and the bear for its inaability to be disturbed by anything smaller than it (which is most things to a bear) and its imiplacability when finally roused. the spider for its patience and the fox for its guile are in there somewhere too. (incidentally although I have met a couple of skittish horses who had been abused by their previous owners, its definitely NOT the norm for that very abrupt and forward race. a horse takes NO shit until the bit is in its mouth, but you'd do what you were told if it wrenched your jaw out of place to disobey too).
2.I don't even know where "here" is, but I suppose I'd like an excuse to go on about the negative impact of civilisation and agriculture on the health, happiness and wellbeing of sentient life on earth at the moment.
3. I've met too many 'ghosts' and remembered too many events from the distant past not to believe that there are many more stages to existence once the body-mind complex have been transcended. the question of whether or not those events were my imagination bear no relavence once it is considered that there is no proof that all I can experience or know about the material reality of the immediate moment is not exactly the same thing.
4. Fighting the good fight on the frontiers of the invisible war for the liberation or annihilation of all life in the universe. more specifically, dreaming in the mountains and sending out little packets of bottled illumination in the form of hypnotically resonant sonar transmissions.
