Chu is interviewed by mischiff:

1. The one that stands out in my head most powerfully: how do you manage to be vain about your physical prowess and act intellectually superior but be so brutally self-deprecating at the same time? Do you believe in yourself or not? (I never said I’d make this easy on you.)
2. What do you want more right at this moment- a comfortable significant other or total out-of-control love?
3. Outer space or bottom of the sea?
4. You’re wearing a For Sale: Bargain! sign that highlights three features. What are they?
5. Are you on the path to enlightenment, or are you muddling along like the rest of us?

jesteR’s Interpretational Q5

1. Sight or sound?
2. What do you want to leave behind?
3. What do you want to find?
4. a) Pick a limb. b) Now lose it. Do you regret your decision?
5. Is there more happiness in whimsy or consistency?

Jaime – up against the wall (even though she didn’t actually consent)

1. a) What do you need from your friends? b) Want do you want them to need from you?
2. Do you believe in your writing and your art enough to share them publicly? Would that lessen its value to you?
3. a) How would you feel if you found out conclusively that there is no higher power, no Creator, no fate, no destiny, no guiding force, no reincarnation, no afterlife beyond the blunt continuation of insentient energy? b) Would you tell anyone?
4. a) Who do you put on a pedestal? b) For what will someone one day put you on a pedestal?
5. a) Tell someone something that you couldn’t otherwise, using this as the perfect excuse. They aren’t allowed to hold it against you. I say so. b) Were you really able to do it or did you cop out with a less sensitive statement for someone else?
6. (bonus) Has your dad seen your blog yet?

Dub-A get mischiff’s mic in his face:

1. Despite being a creature of abiding wisdom and deep thought you have a mystical ability to become overwhelmingly fixated on details, both in logic and in your physical environment. Focus. Is this a fault or a strength?
2. Beef. It does a body ____. =)
3. a) What are you going to regret not having done when looking back in twenty years? b) Why are you okay with that?
4. a) Trade places with someone (anyone). Who and why? b) And how do you think they’ll feel about being you?
5. You get to plant one directive in one person’s head. Anyone’s, so long as you know them personally. What will you program them to do, barring “obey all my commands” and the usual rigmarole?

bumlifter takes it like a man

1. a) Why are you single? b)Tell me about the chick that manages to close the deal with you.
2. a) For what would you like to be admired? b) In fifty years?
3. Confess your soft spot.
4. What would you realistically like to be doing for a living, given the qualifications you’ve got going for you at the moment?
5. What frustrates you, aside from what you may have said above? =)

    I noticed that my questions aren’t in that list, is that cuz I don’t have a blog? Or were you trying to spare me, knowing my tendency for being a little shy? Anyway, I’ll email them back to you, and you can do with them what you please. btw the last one made me laugh:)

    COMMENT:
    I thought that would be obvious. If you were listed you’d feel under more pressure to make the answers public, and I said I wouldn’t pressure you. *shrug* You did ask for it I guess. I’ll post your answers.

    Now that chu has posted questions for you, all those of whom you asked 5 questions will ask you now and you’ll have to answer at least 25 questions! we should all know you much better by the end of those. Look what you got yourself into. Maybe that’s exactly what you wanted. :)
