grinninfooleI often find memes tiresome, but I bit on this one to get to know beckyzoole a little better.
The rules:
1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.
1. Who is your favorite Superhero? Why?
Robotman from the Doom Patrol, at least as written by Grant Morrison. He used to be a selfish SOB, but after the wreck in which he became (in Morrison's phrase) "a total amputee", he becomes a brave, compassionate person, a truly heroic person who happens to have a robotic body, which lets him do the superhero thing.
2. Elvis or the Beatles?
Beatles. I grew up with them, and I have never really listened to Elvis. To give you more than you asked: I like early Beatles and later Beatles, but the albums I own are all later: Revolver, Let It Be, Sgt. Peppers. My favorite songs by them are Eleanor Rigby, I Want You (She's So Heavy), and Tomorrow Never Knows.
3. Do you have anything in the store that you're secretly hoping nobody will ever buy and take away from you?
What a wonderfully suggestive question. I'm sad to say that the answer is no, except perhaps for the store itself. There are a lot of books that I have read that I haven't bothered to buy because they're in the store. It is, perhaps, ironic that now that I can get things at wholesale prices, I buy fewer comics than I used to do, and am pickier about what I actually purchase, as opposed to what I read. If I didn't work in the store, I would buy Ultimate Spiderman, because I think Mr. Bendis is doing a terrific job writing it. I can read it whenever I want (and last year I hung around after closing a few times and worked my way through the TPB collections), so I haven't taken it home.
4. Do you have any siblings?
I have an elder brother.
5. If you were a tree, what kind would you be?
A peach tree.millari likes peaches.

3)When did you first realize that you liked girls? How much of a change did it make in your life?
4)What do you actually do at your job?
5)What books do you want to read aloud to someone?

Date: 2007-08-07 02:53 pm (UTC)1) St. Louis: that you have a large decorative archway and a good baseball team is the extent of my knowledge. What must I see and do when I am in town for a week?
2) What do you actually do at your job?
3) You're a member of Mensa. What brought you to them, and what keeps you there? I never joined, as their promotional material set off my elitism alarm, and also subtly suggested a eugenics club. Neither seems your style, so I clearly need to learn more.
4) What poet (or what poems) do you love so much that you must share them with everyone?
5) What is Jewitchery?
