Woo, more questions for Taran. He's helping me distract myself from a shitty night at work.
Huh, it's been a while. I was hoping you'd forgotten about me. Just my luck..
Questionnaire #41 -- Are you? (take two)
Funny?
Not really.
Good?
That depends on your definition of 'good.'
Studly?
When I want to be, I am.
Happy?
Not particularly, no.
Stupid?
No.
Vain?
I don't have a reason for vanity.
Questionnaire #42 -- Change
Name one thing about your physical appearance would you change.
Now that doesn't really matter at all, does it? I can change whatever I want whenever I want.
Name one thing about your mate's physical appearance would you change.
Can we stop referring to him as my mate? Because he's not. *huff* I wouldn't change anything, anyway. He's fine like he is.
Name one thing about your life would you change.
I'll give you three guesses, and the first two don't count.
Name one thing about your mate's life would you change.
Nothing. He seems happy enough with things as they are.
Name one thing you did that made negative changes in your life. Would you do it again?
*shrug* I used my talents to get my classmates into trouble, which made them hate me. I'd do it again. It's them or me, after all, and it sure as hell won't be me.
Name one thing you did that made positive changes in your life.
Hell, I don't know... I guess... eh. I'm still here, and I don't know why. With Drew, I mean. But... I've been able to relax a little, so I guess that's positive?
Questionnaires #43 -- love
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Pfft, no.
Are you in love right now?
No, I'm not.
Is anyone in love with you?
I have no idea. I doubt it.
Has anyone ever broken your heart?
No. I'm not stupid enough to fall for anyone in the first place.
What is the best thing about being in love?
I wouldn't know.
What is the worst thing about being in love?
See, I have this plan, that involves never falling in love. So, I'll never be able to answer this kind of question.
Questionnaire #44 -- mind bending
Have you ever used recreational drugs?
Only once, to see what the fuss was about. It wasn't that great.
Have you ever been addicted to drugs?
No.
Do you drink for fun or to forget?
I don't drink.
Do you meditate?
I don't do that either. Couldn't find a quiet enough place to try even if I wanted to.
Have you ever been in a trance?
Possibly. I don't remember exactly what happened, so.
Have you ever visited an alternate reality?
I don't think so, unless some of the places I've been to were in one. Can't keep them all straight anyway.
Questionnaire #45 -- Memories
What was the most memorable event of your childhood?
Oh gee, take a wild guess. How about the only thing I can remember fairly clearly.
What's your favorite memory? Why?
I don't have one. My only decent memories are bad ones.
What's your least favorite/most painful memory? Why?
Maybe seeing my family murdered, and all that. These stupid questions have only had me bring it up around a dozen times...
What do you do to help you preserve your memories (i.e. photographs, mementoes etc)?
Not a damn thing.
Do you have a good memory or are you constantly forgetting things?
I forget nearly everything.
Is memory a curse or a blessing?
I think I'm better off not remembering most things.
Questionnaire #46 -- Hair
Describe your hair.
It's... brown. Yay, brown. Could probably use a trim, but I don't really care.
Describe your mate's hair.
A sort of dirty-blond mess... and just a little sun-bleachy.
If you could change your hair this minute, what would it look like?
If I felt like it, I'd turn it blue. But I don't.
Ever had a hair disaster? What happened?
I can do anything with my hair, so 'disasters' are never even remotely a problem.
Are you usually concerned with the appearance of your hair? (ie do you think about it or just brush and go)
I don't give a damn. I'll brush it a little, if anything, but that's it.
Hairy or smooth -- which do you prefer?
Uh. Smooth, I guess.
Questionnaire #47 -- Strangeness
What do you think is the strangest thing about yourself?
I'll go with the vampirism.
What do other people find strange/surprising about you?
People don't know me well enough to find me strange or surprising.
Is there anything about yourself that you consider odd or abnormal that other people don't?
No, my abnormalities are generally considered to be abnormal, because they are.
Are there any supposedly 'normal' things that you think are strange or can't understand?
I just don't understand people. That's all.
What are some notable oddities about your mate/closest friends?
He's half fish, how much weirder can ya get?
What is the strangest thing you've ever seen?
That changes over the years. Once it was atomic bombs. Later it was space ships, and computers. Right now... eh, it's hard to say. Zombies, maybe. Damned creepy.
Questionnaire #48 -- Birthdays
What did you do on your last birthday?
Nothing, probably. I forgot about it.
Describe the best birthday you've ever had.
I haven't had one. At least, not one that I can remember.
Describe the worst birthday you've ever had.
I don't remember any of my birthdays, actually. So I guess I don't have a worst.
If you were planning your own birthday -- how would it be spent?
I don't know -- probably alone, somewhere warm and quiet. That'd be nice.
What would your ideal birthday present be?
Complete freedom? Having them wiped off the face of the planet.
What's the best present you ever gave someone else?
I've never given anyone anything.
Questionnaire #49 -- the things that shaped you
What were your parents like? What did they do?
Uh... they were good parents? At least I don't feel any negativity when I try to remember them. I'm pretty sure my father was a miner, and my mother stayed home.
What is your economic background like? Were you rich, poor, in between?
I think we were closer to the poor end. Probably.
Are you part of any social group? Yuppies? Warriors? Bad Boys? Good Girls?
If anything, I'm a loner.
Who shaped you the most? Who most affected your worldviews?
I... have no idea. Most of what I remember is stuff I came up with myself, as far as I know.
Did you rebel against your upbringing, or is it deeply ingrained in you?
I might've rebelled. My parents were probably the type to tell me I should use my talents for good things, and... I haven't.
What were the major issues of the day when you grew up? War? Famine? Crime? Technology Change? Religious Upheaval?
The mine going dry sounds familiar...
Questionnaire #50 -- Politics and activism
Do you consider yourself political?
Not really, no. It's hard to keep up with that when you end up in new places so often.
Where do you think of your politics as falling (right? left? socialist? anarchist?)
I guess I'm somewhere around the left.
Do the people in power share your politics?
Depends on where I am, but I think the answer is usually no.
Do you consider yourself an activist?
Nope. Don't really care.
What 'causes' are you active in?
I'm not.
What form does your activism take? (some people stuff envelopes; some people blow up buildings)
I wouldn't mind blowing shit up, maybe.
Questionnaire #51 -- Romance and Fun
Do you believe in romance?
Bah, it's bullshit. Doesn't stop people from... romancing, though.
What is the most romantic thing you have ever done?
I don't do romantic things.
What is the most romantic thing someone has ever done for you?
No one does romantic things for me. Why would they?
Is a sense of humour important to you?
Sure, I guess. Long as someone's not cracking jokes at really bad times or anything..
What is the silliest thing you have ever done with a lover?
I've never had a lover, so there's no silly thing I could've done.
Name something that looks like fun, but that you would never do. Why wouldn't you do it?
I'll never fly in a plane. Doesn't seem safe. I'd much rather die on the ground.... without crashing from thousands of feet up first. And yes, I'm aware that my answer isn't really related to this group of questions at all.
Questionnaire #52 -- More favourites
What is your favourite... (and why?)
Fruit?
I like peaches best. Didn't I already answer that? It sounds really familiar...
Movie?
I have no idea. I liked Casablanca, haven't really watched much since it was out.
Way to spend time with your mate?
Uh. Er... Just... hanging around? Under the trees near the house. Because... I do? It's a little relaxing.
Number?
I don't think I've ever had a favorite number... though if I wanted to be silly I could say 42; I read those books. Rather good, really.
Time waster?
I don't know... just sitting around is nice sometimes. I don't get to do that often.
Sport?
I don't like sports.
Questionnaire #53 -- Kinks
Have you ever paid someone for sex?
Hell no.
Have you ever had someone tie you up?
Not willingly, no.
What's the weirdest thing you've ever been penetrated with?
*choke* I don't even want to try to remember that.
Where's the oddest place you've had sex?
It was, uh. The den. Maybe. Not so weird.
What's your most perverted fantasy?
I don't have perverted fantasies. Hello, no sex drive.
Has your partner ever done something to you that you thought you'd hate and you got off on it? What was it?
I don't have a damned partner. *glare*
Questionnaire #54 -- Labor
When did you get your first paying job?
Technically, I've never had a real job.
What was it?
Manipulation pays when you play your cards right.
What job are you working now?
The same not-job I've been working for the last 50 or so years.
What job do you expect you will be doing in the future?
I expect I'll be doing the same not-job.
If you didn't have to work (money wasn't an issue) would you still work anyway?
I don't have to work, really. I've got no bills, and only have to support myself. I just get money when I need it and things are fine.
What is your ideal job?
I like what I'm doing now just fine, thanks.
Questionnaire #55 -- Education/Smarts
Do you consider yourself smart?
I'm smart enough to survive, so sure.
Who is the smartest person you know?
I... don't know anybody. Well. Maybe Drew's neighbor-friend, whats-er-name. She seems pretty smart, I guess.
Up to what level did you attend formal education? (ie. 10th grade, bachelor, grad work etc.)
I think I was about to finish high school when things went crazy? ...Wait, that can't be right. My town didn't have a high school. I think. Must have been elementary. Then I was pulled out to work on the farm.
In what environment did you lean the most? (ie. school, home, streets, job etc.)
On the streets, I guess. That's mostly what I remember.
Who taught you the most/most useful lessons?
Once I overheard a homeless man telling someone how to avoid vampires. It works, really well.
Who is your favourite teacher? (does not have to be an actual teacher, just someone you learned from)
If that man counts as a teacher, it'll have to be him.
Questionnaire #56 -- Perversion
What do you think is perverted?
Oh, I don't know. I don't really think about that kind of stuff.
What's the most perverted thing you've done?
I tried a little bloodplay once, when I was really hungry...
What's the difference between perverted and kinky?
I don't see much difference, personally. But I'm really not into either so I don't care all that much.
What's something perverted you've been asked to do and wouldn't?
Aside from the one time I mentioned, I've never done anything I was asked to do.
What's something you used to think was perverted, but don't now?
...Huh. I don't think I've changed my mind about any of that.
What's something you didn't used to think was perverted, but do now?
I've never really cared, actually. I don't give a damn about perverted things.
Questionnaire #57 -- Word Association
Say the first thing that pops into your head after each of the following words. Do you know why your brain made that connection?
Hate.
Vampires. I, ah. I guess that one's obvious.
Love.
Fake. ...Because. It is.
Sex.
.....Ew. Just... no.
Family.
Death. Eh. They all die eventually.
Fear.
Them. I'm not elaborating on that.
Humanity.
Weak. I can see why vampires refer to humans as 'cattle' sometimes.
Questionnaire #58 -- Sounds
What is your favourite sound?
I swear I've already anwered this. I like the sound of snow falling, because it's almost a lack of sound.
If you were deaf, what would you miss the most?
Sometimes I think I'd love to be deaf. There's not really anything I'd miss, except... uh. Nothing.
What does your voice sound like?
It... I don't know, it sounds like whatever I want it to sound like. It's... normal?
Can you sing?
I don't sing.
Can you play an instrument?
I've never tried. I suppose I might, eventually.
What is the sound of a sunrise?
Birds and a light breeze, maybe some bugs buzzing around.
Questionnaire #59 -- Travel
Have you ever been in a plane? Where did you go?
I've never flown in a plane, and I never will.
Have you ever been in a boat? Where did you go?
I took a ride around a bay on a party ship, once. I only almost got sick.
What is your preferred method of transportation? Why?
I'd rather just walk. It's what I've got legs for.
What is the furthest you have ever travelled from your home?
Considering I have no idea where I am half the time? I have no idea.
Do you enjoy travel?
Yeah. I have to.
Are you a light or heavy packing traveller?
Very light. Most of the time I travel with nothing.
Questionnaire #60 -- Things that go bump
What was your first Hallowe'en costume?
I don't know if it was my first, but I did a demon once. I had actual demons thinking I was for real.
What is the worst nightmare you've ever had?
Uh. Just... something about them, again. They were... they were here, and. They-- they were hurting Drew, and, and I couldn't... I... C-could still feel his teeth in my neck when I woke up... ohmygodIneedaminute.

A... a couple nights ago. Just another stupid nightmare.

...Can I stop now? I really, really want to stop, now.
