thezFirst, a horrendously stupid quiz that I wouldn't even post the results to, except that I want to let ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mko know that she is TOTALLY GAY AND LIKES POODLE SKIRTS OMG when she gets her internet back.
Megan - Your real name should be Megan. People with the name Megan are usually...well...GAY. They like ANIME art and poodle skirts. May god have pity on your soul.
What should your name be?

And now, interview questions from my favorite Gabadingo. They were tres cool. <3 <3
1. Do you have a favorite flavor of pez, or do you love them all equally like a beneficent mother?
Hmm. HMMMM. UGH! Tough choice! Cruel question! Just one minute, I'm going to go into my Pez stash and eat a pack for evaluation purposes. Yeah, that's the ticket...
((evaluates))
Grape. Wait, no, that sounds wrong... My favorite flavor is PURPLE.
And you should ALWAYS capitalize Pez!
2. Why does Ivona rock so much and can I have a T-shirt with her face on it? What would such a T-shirt say?
She rocks because she's a HARDKORE MISANTHROPE raised in the cold, cold bosom of communism who, despite her misanthropic nature, will gladly go among the masses and snark at them, and bless them with her magnificent presence, and she's too good for an ordinary-sized sentence, and she can totally make even the largest boy at school CRY with her MUSCULAR ARMS OF HURTING, and yet as much as she tries, she can never build up enough hate and bitchiness to make the world at large shun her, because she's so cute when she's pissed off.
And like I said, no ordinary-sized sentence for her.
AND, if I had a t-shirt with her face on it, I would certainly give it to you. It would say something in Czech on the front, and on the back would be the translation: Keep your distance, or I will KILL YOU WITH MY EYES.
3. What's your favorite 'Nny moment and would you consider dating him?
Ah, there are *several*! Prepare for ranting!
The first is in issue #6. Johnny meets God, and asks him questions. Nny gets pissed. Got says he's tired. Nny says he should pay attention to what's happening on earth. God says, no, really, I just created the UNIVERSE, I'm really tired. And Nny says...
"Do you have ANY idea what's going on down there?!! Hideous things! People are suffering, and people like... well... me, heh , are running around!! Suicide, genocide!! People are killing MOOSE!! You buy a video game system, and a better one comes out in a month!!! POWDERED EGGS?!!! Self esteem is so low, girls are buyin' wonder bras!!! Do you see!? DO YOU?"
...which is priceless. Excessive exclamation points are the artist's, not mine.
Now, I love the Johnny series, but I take issue with some of its fans. They don't seem to realize that, while the comic is social commentary, Johnny is NOT the one doing the commentary. He's a subject of scrutiny himself, and while he's fun and, hell, even relatable, he's the just the protagonist. Not the HERO.
This leads into my second favorite moment, which is in issue #2. Johnny has kidnapped some pretty girl who laughed at him the other night, and says that her ugly mind does not deserve such a lovely body. He, of course, is nothing to look at on the outside, but on the inside, he... well, he... Okay, screw it, scythe through her skull. Then...
"Dear Diary. Today I learned that, on the inside, I'm pretty fucking ugly."
Sometimes the ones who incur prejudice are no better than the ones who judged them. Violent revenge fantasies can be FUN, but honestly, if you fantasize about decapitating people, you're probably pretty fucked yourself, and *certainly* no better or deserving than anyone else. Yeah, BINGO. I personally thought the message was hammered into my very skull over and over again, but I find very few Johnny readers who got this out of the series.
The last one is from issue #7, when Nny gets a visit from a "fan" who's been watching and imitating his work, and wants to be taken on as an apprentice. Right. The fan goes on and on about one of his killing sprees, and Nny listens and ponders how incredibly stupid it all is. Nny then goes to leave, and when the fan, Jimmy (Mmy), just can't leave well enough alone, he gets a knife in the shoulder and gutted to boot. Then Johnny says something that I think a lot of fans really don't understand...
"You fucking idiot! Admire me?? You shit! I'm the villain in this fucking story!"
Driving it home again, ya think?
Anyway, as if it wasn't obvious already, the answer to the second part of your question is NOOOO. Even if he wasn't homicidal, someone who talks to doughboys is just a little too much for me. I love the character, but that's largely because he's *only* a character. Besides, as his tombstone read on the cover of #6, "Here lies Nny. Do not weep. He probably would have killed you."
I am an incoherent geek.
4. Is there one game that you never applied to but wish you had now? This applies to non-SM games as well <3.
Well, I really wanted to apply to Priori and get some MUSH and Harry Potter action on, but it's gone now. So very gone. Seriously, what happened to it? OMFG NEED POTTER FIX.
Other than that, all the other games I'm interested in are either up and running, or will be, so I can still apply once I get my act together, if I so wish. Yay!
5. Can I come and visit you? Would your parents object if I introduced myself as your cousin and then brainwashed them?
You could indeed visit me. Nay, you SHOULD. Phoenix is warm, and has... uh, mountains. Itty mountains. But mountains are cool. My parents are vaguely insane, so they would not object to you introducing yourself as my cousin, and might not even notice you brainwashing them. And then good times will be had by all! Hell, for all I know you COULD be a relative, my paternal grandfather was a MAN HO!
6. If deciding what the national pastime was up to you, what would it be? Would it involve protology or plotzing?
I'm guessing you meant proctology, and I am so very amused and disturbed that you remember that joke. <3 But NO! No proctology. Possibly plotzing. Most likely, the national pastime would be breaking into song and dance routines for no reason whatsoever, because I've always believed that the world would utterly kick ass if people did that. So, under my regime, the GLOBAL pastime would be breaking into song and dance for no reason, and then plotzing if one felt tired or giddy enough.
