Meme: Questions And Answers
THE RULES:
1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Or your favorite breed of tropical fish/kind of bug/breed of dog. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions

1. On that vein, who's your favorite Ghostbuster?
I would have to say Egon.
2. I think I can tell favorite X-person, but why?
Ah, my icon might have been Kitty, but my favorite X-person would have to be a tie between her and Illyana. Kitty Pryde was the first comic character I thought was interesting when I was little, back when I first started reading X-Men. Illyana was simply fascinating, and I’ll pretty much read anything where she’s in it, regarding comics. She had a complex and compelling history, and a very interesting personality.
3. Current favorite song?
I don’t think I have one.
4. What's the DC pairing you just can't get enough of?
I haven’t read any DC pairings for quite a while, since I seem to have moved away from that fandom. I think I’ll say Batman/Catwoman.
5. Lace, cotton, silk, or synthetic?
Well, I’m allergic to lace and some synthetics. Silk is too expensive, so I’ll take cotton.

1. What do you like most about Illyana?
As I answered in the other question--Illyana was simply fascinating, and I’ll pretty much read anything where she’s in it, regarding comics. She had a complex and compelling history, and a very interesting personality. She was de-aged and killed off way too soon.
2. Is it the Rasputin family as a whole?
Not really, since without Illyana I just don’t really care for Piotr. Except when he’s around her or Kitty, I don’t usually find him that interesting. Also, I don’t think I’ve ever read a comic with Mikhail Rasputin in it--was he in New Mutants: Truth or Dare? I might have run across him once in that.
3. Which comic company did you start in?
Marvel Comics would have to be the first I remember. However, I recently found some old comics that I apparently had when I was little--one was Wonder Woman, and the other was The Incredible Hulk. The only one that ever truly stuck with me and made me a Marvel fan was the issue of Uncanny X-Men when the X-Men and Kitty were in space, and possibly going to die from the Brood. It was the first issue where Lockheed appears, and Kitty is fascinated by him. I liked it, and stuck with it for many years. I'm not sure what issue number it was, though.
4. Favorite book of all time?
There are so many. Probably The Dracula Tape, by Fred Saberhagen. A more recent one that I love is Bruce Campbell’s autobiography called If Chins Could Kill--and his second fake bio called Make Love The Bruce Campbell Way.
5. Heels, slings, sandals, or tennies?
Tennis shoes for me. Sandals hurt my feet, and I have never had the occasion to wear heels. Never worn slings, and I hadn’t heard of those before, either.

1. If you could be one of the nine muses would you be Calliope or one of the others?
Yes, likely Calliope due to the fact that I like stories and epics. I've always loved myths.
2. What's your favorite musical band?
I have never had a favorite band, since I don’t really go for the popular stuff.
3. If you could only read one book for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Well, I know I would likely go insane with only one book and no bookshelf in sight. Can I have a series? If so, the Dracula Series by Fred Saberhagen.
4. What's your all time favorite tv show?
There are so many. But the ones that have stayed favorites over the years are: Highlander, Dark Shadows, Buffy, Sherlock Holmes (with Jeremy Brett), and Firefly--those are just the ones I immediately thought of, but there are likely quite a few others. Heroes and Doctor Who seem to have joined this list, despite my not having watched them for that long. Heroes just this first season, and Doctor Who starting with the newest series.
5. What was your first fandom?
At the age of 4 I became obsessed with Ghostbusters. Does that count? However, the first time I actually tracked down message boards and fanfic was for Highlander. And the first time I got involved in fandom itself would have to be when I started posting over at TrekBBS.
And I’m linking to this poll again, just in case anyone hasn’t voted in it yet.
