Questions Answered
Claire, what if I turn into an alcoholic? Will you pay my bills?
Not gonna happen. You're only an alcoholic if you go to the meetings. Barefaced denial - much, much easier while you're bladdered - has never failed for me.
I'm going to judge you on this: what's your favourite pokemon?
I don't have one, the only time I really watched it was when I found out it was The Show That Made You Pass Out, of course it did nothing of the sort and I stopped thereafter.
I did buy a pack of those cards when everyone else was buying them in't playground. I know one of them was like the highest charmeleon (?) thing, y'know that evolving thing? I have no idea what I'm talking about. Anyway, I got my brother to sell it for as much as he could. I never did get that money...
You should do a 'Why They're Hot' for Drozd.
It'd only descend into fangirl nonsense.
Oh.
Claire, what's the meaning of life?
Jesus, I get out of the shower and you hit me with this? I need to read more, I know this. But for now- the meaning of life is to make life meaningful.
Either that or it's something to do with Christopher Walken.
Jeffrey Tambor though!
I assure you, dear formspringer, there is nothing wrong with wanting a bit of Tambor.
Claire, you have to help me. I find myself strangely attracted to Jeffrey Tambor and I don't know what to do.
(This is where I make some poor joke about NO TOUCHING!)
Ok. But why do you need help? What's not to love about George Bluth? Are you in the vicinity of Mr. Tambor and worried about assaulting him?
I like you - you always seem to be either spaced out (in a good way) or laughing at the bad shit that comes your way. Do you have aim/msn?
Spaced out indeed, thank you. My aim is fubar18ad, my msn is fubar18ad@hotmail.com
What's the last movie you watched?
I watched Dancing with the Devil, a very good documentary about Rio de Janeiro's favelas today. If you mean movies, I think it was Love Liza.
What are your favorite podcasts?
I never miss Adam and Joe on 6Music, The Bugle, Thinking Allowed, The Danny Baker Show, Football Weekly, All Songs Considered, The Digested Read, Stones Throw, and Ninja Tune's podcasts.
This may or may not explain why iTunes tells me I have 645 podcasts still to listen to.
GIVE ME A GOOGLE WAVE INVITE!
I DON'T HAVE IT! I don't even get what it is, that's how old I am.
Do you watch Heroes? I'm watching it now, sucks now.
Don't talk to me about tv shows jumping the shark. Nothing can be as bad as what happened to my beloved ER. TWO helicopter incidents on the same doctor, an army tank, John fucking Stamos.
But no, I don't watch Heroes 'cos I can't afford a tv. FuckYeahPerpetualPoverty. I did see one of the first episodes when they were first on the BBC, I remember a cheerleader being killed but not really. Or something. You're not recommending it then?
What were you thinking five minutes ago?
I was thinking about how much youtube is a petulant little bitch.
Your favourite United moment?
I have so many I don't know where to start, but I suppose the whole of the Treble season would be a good place. The games with Real Madrid; John O'Shea's goal at the Kop end a few seasons ago; Cantona's goal against Liverpool in the FA Cup final; all those matches with Arsenal - particularly Keano vs Viera; Ole's first goal back from looong injury layoff in 06-07; obviously winning the Champions League, I could go on and on. But from this season I have to mention beating City 4-3 purely for the look on the face of my City-supporting brother when Michael Owen scored, particularly as he'd been slagging him off the whole time he'd been on the pitch!
I thought you supported City!?
Good god no! It's my brother who supports Manchester City, give me some credit.
Favourite United player?
Ever? I think it'll always be Eric Cantona. Right now it's Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs - can't possibly choose between the two!
What do you study at uni?
Sociology and, yes, I actually do enjoy that subject. And yes, it is a real subject.
Actually, I deferred yesterday until next September due to health reasons. So for the next 10 months I’m going to be studying the insides of hospitals and stacking shelves in Tesco...
This is where I start crying again.
