9. Favorite Muppet? oh, that is just CRUEL, what a question Lace, makin me choose!! Um. Fozzie, Sam the Eagle, Rizzo, Beaker, Animal, Piggy, Gonzo, Dr Teeth, Statler and Waldorf… HOW CAN YOU PICK JUST ONE
10. Have you ever had Turkish Delight? Yeah, and I like it… but I wouldn’t sell out my siblings for it.
11. best thing that happened to you in 2015? Getting a new job, the Sansukh podfic, my new nibling, my friends, taking up performing again (and not sucking at it too much).
Battlepig’s questions:
1. What’s the next movie you plan to see in theaters? Star Wars! I STILL HAVEN’T SEEN IT, AARGH. but when???
2. What time does your alarm wake you up in the morning? LMAO, what’s an alarm clock, I have a toddler.
3. What’s your pet’s name? Or if you don’t have one, what would you name him/her? Her name is ACTUALLY Chloe, but we rarely call her that. She is often (affectionately) called ‘the furry pile of pointlessness’, ‘fuzzlebutt’, ‘smoochface’, ‘little girl’, ‘furbag’, ‘chlo-chlo’ or ‘The Duchess’.
4. What was the first fandom that latched onto your soul and made you one of us? X-Men, a million years ago, but I was a lurker for a VERY VERY VERY long time in quite a few fandoms.
5. What’s your favourite B-rated movie? I just had to look up what actually entails a ‘B-Movie’ tbh… and I would have to say The Castle.
6. What’s the book series that you follow/followed religiously? It USED to be Discworld. *sad sigh* GNU Terry Pratchett.
7. If you had to, which would you rather survive on for five years – original package ramen or Hostess twinkies? I have no idea what twinkies taste like, but I like noodles!
8. What’s the best/most rewarding memory you have of 2015? Hearing the Dwarfling say ‘mummy’ for the first time, closely followed by the first time she spontaneously kissed me. *internal explosion of joy*
9. Recap one story that made you want to bitch-slap the nearest unfortunate individual that crossed your path and made the mistake of pissing you off? Ahh, I will pass, sorry. I’m steering clear of negative things.
10. Pick up the nearest DVD and read the last line of the synopsis on the back. L M A O – “With centuries of songs served up fresh for your child, Apples & Bananas is certainly ‘a-peeling’!”
pfffft.
11. What’s your Hogwarts House? Hufflepuff!
Pop’s Preguntas
- Favourite fandom? LOTR.
- Least favourite fandom? errrr, idk. There is wank in every fandom, I guess.
- When was the last time you laughed? about two minutes ago, at this post!
- If you could change one aspect about yourself, what would it be? I would love to have more confidence. I am incredibly unlikely to stand up for myself, and people often take advantage of that in both my personal and professional lives. Sigh.
- Ever tried balut? YES ACTUALLY! In Vietnam, on my honeymoon, from a street food vendor who was the nicest lady ever: although neither of us speak Vietnamese and she didn’t speak a word of English, we all hooted with laughter together when our friend fell off his rickety plastic chair onto his back. It’s really not as bad as it looks, actually sort of dry, in fact. And there was a DELICIOUS rice dish with it, god that was yum.
- Something you love about yourself? I have a good singing voice. Sometimes I can be funny, I suppose.
- Something you hate about yourself? Depression.
- If you could travel in time and meet your 15 year old self, what would you tell them? You’re good enough, and it is not your fault. You will have so many wonderful people in your life in just a few short years, and all this will be long behind you. Stay kind, stay hopeful, and don’t let anger and resentment poison who you are. Calm down. Slow down. Be gentler to yourself. You aren’t a failure if you’re not doing it all at once. Get to a psych asap. And for GOD’S sake, eat something and KEEP IT DOWN.
- Which finger is your favourite? *stares at them in puzzlement* uhhh, that one.
- Something that changed your life? I could be trite and say ‘parenthood’ here (and it would be 30000% true)!
- Favourite quote from anything? Here’s three! (I collect quotes and write them on my cupboard door in sharpie 🙂
- Not a shred of evidence exists in favour of the idea that life is serious. – Brendan Gill
- Anything I’ve ever done that ultimately was worthwhile initially scared me to death. – Betty Bender
- Hope is patience with the lamp it. – Tertullian.

4. Do you have a favourite mug (or cup?), and if so, what’s it like?
5. If you have a pet, do they have any incredibly irritating habits or quirks?
6. What’s your favourite herb? I LIKE SAGE
7. History or science?
