As previously seen in a certain Grinnellian's Xanga, here is an amazingly entertaining survey, brought to you by the girl with a desk job (aka nothing but time and Internet access).
1. You can press a button that will make any one person explode. Who would you blow up?
The guy who shot JFK. And I'd tell everyone, "Hey, everyone, I've got this button, so if you see anyone explode, it's the guy who killed JFK." Mystery solved.
2. You can flip a switch that will wipe any band or musical artist out of existence. Which one will it be?
I would say U2, but that might be counterproductive in light of all the charity work Bono does, so maybe Rage Against the Machine, but then again Audioslave wouldn't exist. So, probably Scott Stapp. Yeah, he's pretty worthless.
3. Who would you really like to just punch in the face?
Kristen from Laguna Beach. Maybe if she were deformed, the show never would have happened (although, it might have been more interesting...).
P.S. There's a group for this on Facebook--is it sad that's the first thing I thought of?
4. What is the best kind of cheese?
Brie, baked, with buttery crostini and a nice, spicy chutney. You may be screaming "SNOB!", but it's only because I don't really like cheese. And, really, who's going to turn down buttery crostini and delicious, delicious chutney?!
5. You can only have one kind of sandwich. Every sandwich ingredient known to humankind is at your immediate disposal. What does your dream-sandwich consist of, and does it contain the aforementioned cheese?
Turkey. Honey-mustard. Tomatoes. Brie. Spinach. Salt 'n' pepa. Panini press.
LOVE.
6. You have the opportunity to sleep with the movie-celebrity of your choice. We are talking no-strings-attached sex and it can only happen once (they will never call you back)
Maybe it's 'cause I just saw "Waiting", but Ryan Reynolds is, um, hot. And by "hot", I mean WHY ISN'T HE PERMA-SHIRTLESS??
7. You have the opportunity to sleep with the music-celebrity of your choice. Same rules as above. Who is it?
Any of the Margot and the Nuclear So & So's guys...well, the ones under 30.
8. Now that you've slept with two different people in a row, you seem to be having an excellent day because you just came across a hundred-dollar bill on the sidewalk. Holy shit, a hundred bucks! How are you gonna spend it?
On a plane ticket to St. Louis for a BLOD reunion!
9. You just got a free plane ticket to anywhere. You have to depart right now. Where are you going?
If visas weren't an issue, no question it'd be Paris to chill in Europe for 2 months before I start "school". But, a free ticket to St. Louis would be awesome, too. Bonus points if there's an overnight layover in Chicago!
10. Upon arrival to the aforementioned location, you get off the plane and discover another hundred-dollar bill. Now that you are in the new location, where are you gonna go to spend that?
Paris: vintage shopping. End of story.
St. Louis: Being girly with my girlies.
11. An angel appears out of Heaven and offers you a lifetime supply of the alcoholic beverage of your choice. "Be brand-specific" it says.
Cristal. Absolutely.
12. Rufus appears out of nowhere with a time-traveling phone booth. You can go to anytime in the PAST. What time are you traveling to and what are you going to do when you get there?
Okay, 3 choices:
1. Enlightenment-era salon hostess in Paris (but only if I don't die of some awful disease)
2. One of the Beautiful People circa 1920 (but only if that came with fancy dresses)
3. Back to the 70s, to make Paula Deen my grandma (but only if that meant she taught me how to cook)
13. You discover a beautiful island upon which you may build your own society. You make the rules. What is the first rule you put into place?
No open-mouth chewing. If you can't eat like a decent person, Island Security will be more than happy to see that you find your rightful place at the bottom of the ocean.
14. You have been given the opportunity to create the half-hour TV show of your own design. What is it called and what's the premise?
It's called "Little Black Dress", and it follows the owner of this one dress from the time she buys it, to the time she resells it; then it follows the next owner. Each season is a new dress, and sometimes, the characters repeat (like the original owner of the first season's dress buys the second season's dress at a vintage shop and waers it for an episode or two). It is a smash hit.
15. What is your favorite expletive?
Gaaahd!
16. One night you wake up because you heard a noise. You turn on the light to find that you are surrounded by MUMMIES. The mummies aren't really doing anything, they're just standing around your bed. What do you do?
The monster mash.
17. Your house is on fire! You have just enough time to run in there and grab ONE inanimate object. Don't worry, your loved ones and pets have already made it out safely. So what's the one thing you're going to save from that blazing inferno?
Insurance would probably cover my laptop, so probably my blue dress with silver polka dots. God, I love that thing. Or maybe, you know, a blanket.
18. The Angel Of Death has descended upon you. Fortunately, the Angel Of Death is pretty cool and in a good mood, and it offers you a half-hour to do whatever you want before you bite it. Whatcha gonna do in that half-hour?
Invite everyone I know to Sebastian Joe's and buy a round of ice cream.
19. You accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good, and what's even cooler is that they endow you with the super-power of your choice! What's it gonna be?
The ability to Apparate and Disapparate.
20. You can re-live any point of time in your life. The time-span can only be a half-hour, though. What half-hour of your past would you like to experience again?
I only get a half-hour? I guess a half-hour of being a toddler would be cool, just because I don't remember it. Especially if that half-hour included a wading pool. Righteous.
21. You can erase any horrible experience from your past. What will it be?
Pretty sure my brain does that already, only it's not just horrible memories that get erased--it's all of them.
22. You got kicked out of the country for being a time-traveling heathen who sleeps with celebrities and has super-powers. But check this out... you can move to anywhere else in the world! Where would you go?
Paris.
23. This question still counts, even for those of you who are under 21. Check it out. You have been eternally banned from every single bar in the world except for ONE. Which one is it gonna be?
...the coolest one? Believe me, I wish I had a favorite bar. If this question were coffee shops, though, I'd say Nonno's in Lake Forest.
24. Hopefully you didn't mention this in the super-powers question.... If you did, then we'll just expand on that. Check it out... Suddenly, you have gained the ability to FLOAT!!! Whose house are you going to float to first?
Yours.
25. The constant absorption of magical moonbeams mixed with the radioactive vegetables you consumed earlier have given you the ability to resurrect the dead famous-person of your choice. So which late celebrity will you bring back to life?
DaVinci. Something tells me he'd have something good to say.
26. The Celestial Gates Of Beyond have opened, much to your surprise because you didn't think such a thing existed. Death appears. As it turns out, Death is actually a pretty cool entity, and happens to be in a fantastic mood. Death offers to return the friend/family-member/person/etc. of your choice to the living world. Who will you bring back?
I've been lucky enough to have not experienced that many deaths, so maybe my mom's mom, Cora. She died before I was born, so it would be kind of cool to know the person I'm named after. Plus, it might make my mom happy, so bonus points.
27. What's your theme song?
"Photograph" by Weezer for the meaning, but "Skeleton Key" by Margot and the Nuclear So & So's for the song |
