Anyone Want to Interview and Be Interviewed?

Hmm. [livejournal.com profile] tsenft is encouraging people to copy [livejournal.com profile] anoisblue's idea for LiveJournal mutual interviews.

Volunteers, anyone?

[identity profile] sarianna.livejournal.com 2003-06-03 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
That's neat. I'm certainly interested.

[identity profile] queerbychoice.livejournal.com 2003-06-03 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
Okay . . . you think up some questions for me, and I'll think up some for you.

1. What's currently piled on your bed?
2. Which side of it do you sleep on and is there any reason you prefer that side?
3. Why do you call yourself Sarianna?
4. Why do you call yourself Anakalia Sjaia?
5. Do you and [livejournal.com profile] mentalust disagree on religious issues, and if so, how do you deal with this?
6. What are the biggest differences between you and <lj user="mentalust"? 7. What are the very weirdest things about you?

1. Do you keep a personal journal IRL and if so, what is on the cover?
2. What is your favorite work of art (any form) and why?
3. Is there a texture you particularly like?
4. Do you usually make your own clothes (like that awesome skirt)?
5. What would you be most likely to buy at a yard sale?
6. When you were ten years old, what did you like best to do with your friends?
7. What do you think about just before you fall asleep?

Re: Ooh ooh

[identity profile] queerbychoice.livejournal.com 2003-06-03 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
1. Just exactly how many different journals do you have, anyway?
2. How'd you manage to insert a picture up at the top of your userinfo page, above the username?
3. What do all those weird things at the start of your interests list signify?
4. Pick a particular location in your living quarters that's exceptionally full of junk. Describe this junk for me.
5. If for some medical reason it became necessary to amputate your left hand, but the doctors gave you the severed hand to do anything you liked with, wht would you do with it?
6. Why do you call yourself Jenlight when you seem so un-light?
7. What are the very weirdest things about you?

Re: Ooh ooh

[identity profile] jenlight.livejournal.com 2003-06-03 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
1. Do you believe people are ever born homosexual or is it always a choice?
2. Why did you choose to be bisexual?
3. Do you prefer female to male?
4. what was the last activity which you would describe as "activism" that you took part in?
5. Were you raised by religious folk?
6. Do you tend to be judgmental?
7. What do you dis-like about yourself most?

[identity profile] rhekarid.livejournal.com 2003-06-03 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds interesting, although I have severe doubts of my ability to be interesting or ask interesting questions. But, go ahead and shoot.

[identity profile] queerbychoice.livejournal.com 2003-06-03 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
1. What material possessions of yours do you value most?
2. What's the best thing that's ever happened in your life?
3. What do you most like about yourself?
4. Which character in Jack the Reaper is most extremely unlike you?
5. What is it exactly that you want to do with Gackt once I deliver him to your house?
6. You just died, and it turns out there is a God after all (and he hates you). He adheres to certain rules of behavior, though, and one of them is that if you make a specific request for your next life, he'll reincarnate you in accordance with the request. In your case, however, you know he's going to put the most evil possible spin on everything within the confines of whatever you request. What do you request your next life to be like?
7. Pick a recipe you've invented that you think I'll like, and provide it to me.

[identity profile] rhekarid.livejournal.com 2003-06-04 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
1. To you, personally, what is the worst thing that can happen to somebody?
2. If you had the power to do so, what thing would you stop the invention of? Take into account the effects on history, the removal of all good/bad effects of this invention, and the fact that someone else may invent it later.
3. Given the choice, what magical power would you choose to have? No omnipotent "the power to have all power" kind of things.
4. Suppose a "gay gene" is discovered, proving irrefutably that sexuality is, in fact, genetic. Immediately people are split into two groups: those who say it therefore can't be "wrong" because it's naturally occurring and not a choice, and those who cite this as proof it's a physical, curable disorder. What will be your defense/response/argument to these groups?
5. One day, everyone wakes up and can change their physical sex by willpower alone, to male, female, neither, both, or anything else. Gender roles are shattered, entire societal constructs break down, and everything is chaos. The upheaval to society is so great it seems the whole country will collapse. What will you choose to do with your sex, and do you think anything can save the shaken country? Should it be?
6. You are given a choice: all world hunger can be eliminated forever, removing a vast amount of strife and turmoil. However, by doing so ALL food will permanently be two things; raccoons and broccoli. What do you do, with more than just your own tastes in mind?
7. What's your opinion of cannibalism? Seriously. Don't look at me like that, it was your choice to have me ask you things.

5. Do you wear makeup?

[identity profile] queerbychoice.livejournal.com 2003-06-03 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't matter to me where you post the results. Do whatever you like with them.

1. Why do you call yourself exterra?
2. If people who know you now could go back in time and see what you were like in past years, which of your former incarnations do you think would surprise people most and why?

4. What's the best thing that's ever happened in your life?
5. What do you like most about yourself?

(I'll e-mail you my answers soon)

1. What aspects of your life, if any, do you value privacy around.

2. In the course of being a public spokesperson of sorts for your philosophy/thoughts around 'Queer by Choice' I'm sure you've run into countless people who try to argue with you that queerness is not (or should not be considered) a choice. What I want to know is: what's the most convincing argument you've heard from folks who disagree with your take on sexuality & choice?

3. Is there anything about who you are today that would have truely suprised the Gayle of 5 or 10 years ago?

4. What do you think of Eastern (an overgeneralization, I know) vs. Western medicine?

5. Do you imagine that you may have come to similar thoughts/philosophy/worldview regarding sexuality & choice if you had been brought up in a non-Western culture and by parents of that culture?

6. What are some things that gross you out?

7. What kinds of daydreams/imaginings did you have as a child to keep yourself entertained?

8. Which is your favorite Star Trek character ever? Oh, and who's the sexiest Star Trek character ever?

Done, in my most recent entry. (I don't know how to link directly to entries.)

[identity profile] queerbychoice.livejournal.com 2003-06-04 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
You can link directly to entries just by copying and pasting the URL of the comments page into the comment you're leaving for me; but anyway, I already saw your latest entry and am answering it. (I'm going to flunk the compassionate conservatism question, though. :p )
