The return of the questions meme

[jedi_of_urth]

If you'd like to be interviewed leave me a comment and I'll ask you five questions. Then you post your answers in your LJ and interview other people and so on and so forth...

For shinyopals I will answer:

1. What made you seek out/how did you find your way to and get involved in fandom in general?
2. What's the best book you've read recently?
3. If you woke up one morning with superpowers, what would you do?
4. Favourite type of weather?
5. If the zombie apocalypse were tomorrow, what would you do?


1. What made you seek out/how did you find your way to and get involved in fandom in general?
Hmm, my earliest fandom experiences started with a real life friend of mine pointing my in the direction of email groups discussing X-files (and groups for other things) pointing out how much easier it was to meet people who wanted to talk about TV shows online, where the sci-fi people were.

There's actually not a lot of connectivity besides that theme between my early stuff and now. I just really like talking about my TV/book/movie/roleplaying obsessions with people who, while they may not follow all the same things as me, certainly understand the tendency to get really super involved with something like that.

2. What's the best book you've read recently?
I've been reading the Song of Ice and Fire series recently (among other things) and I'm really enjoying it. Although it fills me much dread as a read it as to what is going to happen to the characters.

Although I also picked up (what at least was) the most recent in the Wild Cards series, "Inside Straight", and I really really enjoyed that, to the etent where I'm looking into reading some of the earlier books in the series even though they don't appear to be completely necessary to understand what's going on now.

3. If you woke up one morning with superpowers, what would you do?
Let's be honest, I'd find a way it would make my life easier. I might eventually decide that I owed it to the world to do something good with them, but my first thought would just be ways to do cool stuff.

4. Favourite type of weather?
It varies, wither sunny but cool or cloudy and rainy (and cool). Either way summer and I don't get along very well, it is not cool in any sense of the word.

5. If the zombie apocalypse were tomorrow, what would you do?
Cower and hide, I'm not good in a fight and to out of shape to run away, so hiding seems like me.

I keep hearing different things about the Song of Ice and Fire stuff so I never quite know whether to give it a go or not!

And yay for abusing superpowers. I'd totally do things like fly to uni so I could get up 15 mins later... XD

And don't forget to stockpile tinned goods! ;-)
