You can’t get enough of meme

I saw this meme on the When He Kisses Her, It rains In a Thirsty Desert blog.

1. If you could turn back the hands of time to correct one wrongdoing, what event would you choose and why?

At the risk of sounding ignoble, I would have to choose an event from my own life. And it only seems right that it would be something I did — rather than something done to me.

Hm. Yes. So many possibilities… and so little chance that I’ll be discussing them here. Next question! Next!

2. Are you one for tradition? If so, what traditions do you strongly believe in? If not, what makes tradition hypocritical?

Rituals and traditions are the ceremonial forms of social conditioning used to create group cohesion and shared identity. The circumcision of children is one particularly reprehensible example. I do not support groups that encourage confessions, that exact lifelong commitments, or that put people through physical and mental rigors; as these practices are so closely connected to the techniques of brainwashing.

3. You were taking part in an event and you had to crossplay, who would you crossplay as and why?

If I were to assume the role of an opposite sex character? Hm. Okay. I want to be Salvadore Dali because I dig his dandy style. Particularly the extravagant moustachio! I would wear a yellow suit, twirl my surrealist cane and sport about in spats! I would pop out of cakes covered in candied fruits! I’d be conveyed in a compartment carried by eunuchs! All would be frippery and folly! I would have a seductive accent and paint nude celebrity portraits of people who aren’t even famous! I’d surround myself with women called Fifi and Gigi and Tralala! All my food would be smothered in sauces and I’d never wear pyjamas!

4. If you only had one day left to live, how would you spend your last day? Would you be tempted to live fatally if you knew you were to die the next day, and if so, what extreme measures would you take?

I’d make few calls and visits to say goodbye. Write a quick poem for posterity. Eat a huge and expensive meal. Get laid. Knock off a few enemies (see you in Hell, suckas). And, if there were any time remaining, I’d just like spend it outside listening to the birds and enjoying nature.

5. What are your top five sinful materialistic items, ones you’d expect from others including those closest to you? Why is each in the position they are in?

I don’t understand what this question means. It’s not even like English. Sinful… Sinful? Are we talking about decadent luxuries?

I don’t have any.

6. I am…

A humble poet. And I believe that I was living peacefully and abundantly in the mountains of Mycenae until I was mistakenly reincarnated into this new life as a fantastically sexy woman in the north prairies of Canada. It’s been an extremely troubling experience. I wonder what I’m up for next.

7. I feel…

Like a new scandalously dramatic phase of my life is beginning again.

8. I see…

Through things. I see motives.

9. I need…

To survive.

10. I love…

Those little buns with the sauerkraut inside.

11. I wish…

To feel freedom again.

12. I think…

A lot. About everything.

13. I hear…

Sirens. Constantly.

14. I crave…

To have knowledge of the future.

15. I fear…

Receding gums.

16. I hope…

That it will be alright. For all of us.
