The Alternate Meme by stokerbramwell

jonas made this so I GUESS I'll do it gosh

This is another 'getting to know you' meme, but it's a little bit different.

  1. Pick an alternate species for your character. One you'd find amusing, even if others would be weirded out.

  2. Name a skill or two you're proud of that has nothing to do with your chosen career. It doesn't have to be an obviously useful skill, either.

  3. List one or more things you'd do if you had a chance to change your physical sex for a day.

  4. If you could have lived in any other era in history, when would it be and where?

  5. Can you think of an artist (or other creative type) you really like but would never imitate?

  6. What's a food you find fascinating but would never eat?

  7. Name a film, TV show, play or book that you wish had a different ending. What kind of ending would you have written?

  8. If you could have one more day as a kid and could visit someplace that's gone/changed now, where would it be?

    1. Probably a mouse. I've always been inordinately fond of mice.

    2. I am a ridiculously fast and accurate typist. I don't have to look at the keyboard OR the screen, and on a good day I can breeze past 90 wpm.

    3. There is very little I could put down here which would be considered SFW. I will say I would spend as little of the day wearing clothes as possible. >.>

    4. I'm preeeeetty darn cozy here but I have a bit of spiritual kinship with the Monster Kids of the 60s.

    5. Gymnasts or acrobats, I suppose. Anything, really, involving the sort of dexterity and grace which I most assuredly do not possess.

    6. Casu marzu. Why would ANYONE eat that??

    7. Most of the time, when I have a problem with a work of fiction, it is WAY more extensive than just disliking the ending...

    8. I'd go back to EPCOT and ride Journey into Imagination before Disney fucked it all up fifteen ways to Sunday...TWICE.

      Mouse seems like a pretty smooth transition from bat. :]
      I would follow right along with you to the 60s!!

      • Link

        It is! A bit less spooky...though now that I say that a gothic, spooky vampire mouse is kind of an adorable mental image. I shall call him...MOUSEFERATU!

        And god what a time to be alive for a horror fan! The Universal classics on TV, Famous Monsters of Filmland and Fangoria just getting their starts, the Hammer gothics in full swing, aliens and monsters invading movie theaters, and of course the horror hosts! le sigh

          I have a image of you as a hippie in my head now. XD

          • Link

            A horror hippie like all the other groovy ghoulies!

            • Link

              In flare jeans with a psychedelic bloodstained shirt! XD

    • Link

      I could have done without looking up what number six was. :x

      • Link

        SORRY! It isn't even the most horrible food I've ever heard of, that's the worst thing.

        • Link

          Hug me. The world is scary.

      90? pfff I can do 106 on even a terrible keyboard >|3

    Didn't feel like making a new journal, so here it is:

    1. A tomato. I hate those things.

    2. I can streamline everything like you wouldn't believe. Everything except art, ironically. I'm still working on that.

    3. Figure out why guys are supposedly so obsessed with sex in the first place, if they actually are. That and I'd compare and contrast how people treat me as a male as compared to a female.

    4. Probably the Renaissance, though honestly I'd rather live in the future, especially if Star Trek ends up happening.

    5. Singers. Yea I can't sing, like, at all.

    6. Pickled eel. I just...why England? Why?

    7. Star Trek Enterprise. I would burn that horrendous ending from existence and make sure the show got another season so we could finally start the god damned Romulan War and see badass Romulans!

    8. A ranch in Colorado, where I can ride my favorite horse named Snickers. :)

    • Link

      I love that you would change your species to a tomato. That is kind of amazing.

      Also from what I've been told guys aren't really any more obsessed with sex than women. It's just a cultural trope to depict us as such. Stupid culture.

      • Link

        Yea, that's what I thought. Pretty persistence one though, especially when you have people spouting left and right that women don't have sexual fantasies. Oh hi fan fiction.

        • Link

          Ahaha yeah I was about to say, just spend a few minutes in the yaoi section of any fanfic site and tell me women aren't horny. XD

  • Link

    I've been seeing this around both FA and here, and I kinda want to do it, but I'm having problems just coming up with answers for the questions =P

    • Link

      MAKE THINGS UP! Nobody on the internet needs to know. ;D

      • Link

        Yeah, but it's just trying to think of something witty to say XD Clearly, I need more coffee >.>

  • Link

    1. Raccoon.

    2. I have no business being as good at space trivia as I am.

    3. Immediately start PMSing.

    4. Late 1800's, the wild west.

    5. Jonas

    6. Wasabi (*I love spicy food, and I mean -really- spicy, but wasabi doesn't do it for me!)

    7. Hitchcock's Suspicion -- Cary Grant is actually a bad guy.

    8. The stock market, to invest in Apple.

    • Link

      re: #7 OMG SPOILERS BISCUIT

      GOSH

      (I love Hitchcock too though. <3)

      • Link

        C'mon, you know Suspicion would have been a masterpiece if they hadn't tried to rescue Cary Grant's character from being evil! You have to agree.

        • Link

          I can agree with that! That was made during the Hayes Code, though, right? Their hands were kinda tied. :I
