Our weekly bout of goodness from Cheddar:

1) You've got the Magic Button of Death. Every time you press the button the person you want to kill will die. One other random person will also die. Do you use the button? Who do you whack?

Magic Button of Death? Does Mr. Rogers know that we are playing with such toys?

I think I have seen this question in the Book of Qeustions. Actually, I have three mortal enemies. But even though I call them mortal enemies, I would not be the one who decides to erase them. Despite my yearning to play god, and my inability to see anything outside of my feminiely wiles at certain times of the month (we're talking pre-pygym hamsters, here).

I may hate my mortal enemies with a passion, but others love them, I know. I imagine a lot of people will answer "Bin Laden" on this one, but I won't. Mostly because I think the best punishment in the world for him is to be tried and convicted in a US court, then put into general population in a maximum security prison, where he will be made into an enormous man named Bubba's bitch. But I know that will never happen.

2) You've won a million dollars with the conditions that you can only use it to purchase things for yourself and anything you haven't spent in a month is forfeit. What do you buy?

A house on the waterside. I can use up my million dollars on that. Oh, and a Land Rover Defender 90.

3) You've won a million free and clear. What do you do with it?

Isn't it the same thing as the one above? I find it hard to process thoughts past the "you have won a million dollars". Anyway, I would pay off my mother's house, my house, the cars, my Partner Unit's family's home, and then go on a trip around the world. I think that's about it. A million dollars does not go so far anymore!

4) What song or band do you listen to when you want to reminisce or visit a moment in your past? What's the moment?

Lifehouse's "Hanging By A Moment" makes me think of a very special someone. So does, ironically, Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" (and before any of you start taking the piss because I had the gaul to mention a Dion song, there is a story behind it! Sit down and relax!) And if I ever want to be happy, I launch into Toad the Wet Sprocket's "All I Want". It never fails. Peter Gabriel's "I Grieve" sums it up when I think about another someone from my past. But I try to avoid that one, since no one needs "killl yourself music" on the average day.

5) Or, is there a song that defines a period in your life?

"Full of Grace" by Sarah McLachlan pretty much sums up my life most of the time. Christ, how depressing. I need a drink now and it isn't even 8 am.

6) Can you know what someone is like just based on how they look or act without meeting them?

In theory you can, but then again, I have been wrong on a number of times of people that I thought would be decent and turned out to be horrible. And vice versa. Some people that started out as mortal enemies switched and have become important to me. And the other way around. If there is one thing I know, it's that a person often appears to be a certain way in the presence of others. You will never know what a person is really like until you get them alone.

-H.
