five questions
Aug. 10th, 2011 11:04 pmToday was supposed to be a day of cleaning all the things. Instead I spent the morning writing porn and thinking about Callum Keith Rennie too much[*].
I did a load of laundry. And cleaned Aiko's ears! That counts! And I responded to five questions from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

Comment with "me me me" and:
- I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
- Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
- Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.
1. Who is your favorite member of MCR, and why?
Ray. I love his hair. /shallow
2. If you were fighting zombies and/or werewolves, what would be your weapon of choice?
The power of flight. My fight-or-flight response is 99 and 44/100ths per cent flight.
3. Do you have any pets? If not, do you want them?
I do! I have three dogs, which is not the ideal number of dogs (that would be two). They are all German Shepherd mixes and (which is more important) all other people's discards.
I like cats but I am allergic to them.
4. What's your dream vacation destination?
New Zealand. It looks so beautiful. /shallow
5. Rec me a book off the top of your head!
Off the top of my head + I have no idea what you've read and what you like = AIEEE!
Okay. I'm going to recommend Marilynne Robinson's Housekeeping. It's one of my favorite books of all time. I stumbled upon it at a time when I was reading mass quantities of stuff because I had almost nothing else to do: no job, no friends, no kids no dogs no garden no internet no life. I love it because it is about being odd, being other, striving to be normal when you don't have what everyone has and you don't know what everyone knows. It has powerful imagery, which I remembered even when I didn't remember the title or author: a passenger train derailing on a bridge; autumn leaves accumulating in the corners of a house; what it feels like to be outside at night in the cold, and to stop resisting being outside at night in the cold.
I hope you read it and tell me what you think of it.
[*]And when I say 'too much' I mean, for example, I think about the fact that he was born in England to, presumably, Protestants, who didn't move to Canada until he was four. So he's probably intact. Yet none of the RPF I've read about him features his foreskin. Isn't that strange?
