annuin1. If you could ask the great Eddie Izzard two questions, what would they be?
I have no earth-shatteringly witty answers for this, unfortunately... or witty questions for him. I have no clue, I'd probably just ask for dorky stuff, like signed copies of all the stuff he's done... or if I could have tickets for me and a bunch of friends to any performance of his :)
Considering Cherie knew the bar where he'd hang out after his Joe Egg performance, running into him has been a distinct possibility, as would asking him questions... and I still wouldn't know what to say or ask ;)
2. What are the major differences, as far as you as a person, I would notice when it comes to your online versus real-life personas?
People probably think I'm a lot more bitchy because of my online persona, which I don't think I am... I'm fairly laidback and easy to get along with. I think my online persona also comes across as being someone who has the answers to nearly everything and who is supremely confident. While the wisdom doesn't go away when I turn off the computer ;) I don't feel like some kind of guru or anything (which some of the kiddies treat me as). Also I'm really not that hugely confident in real life, and I have my own set of issues that I deal with, as we all do.
Possibly I might seem a bit more unapproachable or distant online than I am offline. I think people are often intimidated when they needn't be.
3. Assume you are locked shut in a room with just yourself, Prez, and I for a few days. What would you envision the conversation being like?
Ask anyone who's ever spent any time with me and PreZ (ddurkee for one)... the conversation will run the gamut from day-to-day stuff, geeky subjects, movies, religion, sex, politics, historical stuff... you name it and it will probably be talked about. Much hilarity will also ensue.
4. Ricky Martin, Prince, Mr. T, and Tommy Lee. Each one asks you out on a date. Humor me and assume that you *have* to accept one of their invitations. Who do you pick and why?
Ricky Martin. Because he's young, goodlooking and he can dance. Tommy Lee is a hepatitis-carrying wife-beater and an asshole and I can do without that... Prince always struck me as talented yet a sleazeball. Mr. T just isn't date material for me... he's like my dad's age and I grew up watching him on a cheesy tv show ;)
5. What's your impression of me (take that! :P)?
You seem to drift between being down-to-earth and a kind of hopeless romantic. Easy-going and easy to talk to, clued in about and in tune with women (I think you can thank all the female influences for that) even if it doesn't help you on the romance front, it helps on the friendship front at least. Fun to hang out with and up for anything, good sense of humour, kind.
This is starting to sound like a personals ad :P
I think that sometimes your outlook is more bleak than it really needs to be, and that you might worry about things more than you should.
And I'm tired and rambly now and should shut up ;)
