Get in get out.
Lo! My deaf mute status on Livejournal has come to a close. It's like the movie Tommy...only with better music. Namely, the Hackers soundtrack. Anyway: questions from Orlum.

1. If you had to choose being permanently blind or being permanently deaf, which would you choose and why?

Permanently blind. I can't remember sounds the way I can remember images, can you? So I think losing one's hearing would be a little worse. Plus, if I lost my hearing I'd have no balance. Plus, I think blindness is sexier.

2. Tell me something about yourself that you've never told anyone else.

I don't know, having had two therapists I've said pretty much everything I can think of about myself. But I don't think I've ever told anyone that I had a Disney Porn phase. Or that when I was on Outward Bound I once went a little crazy in the middle of the night when we were hiking (because I was lost and frustrated) and started swinging this giant stick everywhere. I came about THIS close to cranking my guide in the head.

3. When they write about you in history books 300 years from now, what will they list as your greatest achievement?

I was the one who revolutionized literature by single handedly writing the first video game novel, which will make the New York Times book bestseller list and be required reading for the Oprah Club, or whatever they call what she does.

4. You've been granted the use of a time machine, but only for one trip. You can only spend 24 hours at your destination before returning. Where and when will you go, and what will you do?

I have to think what twenty-four hour period in existence I would like to try most? I think I would definitely go to the Zombie apocalypse. In Boston. Because it would probably make me realize how important people are after being lonely for 24 hours. In addition, I would be able to fire an expensive shotgun with justice in my heart. Always a plus. If there is no Zombie apocalypse, I want to go to the day World War II ended, in Paris. Because you know that was a kickass day.

5. Paper or plastic?

Are you kidding? Plastic. You can wash it out and use it again. Paper just makes all that paper noise. Bshshhsh shhshs shssh.

Do I need to ask you questions now? Or do people want me to ask THEM questions? I dare y' all.
