    Believe it or not it's not as rational as that. It's like drowning. On some evolutionary level you just say: What in the Sam Hill do I think I'm doing here? I remember when my brother got married. I was his best man and with him just before he entered the chapel. I had never seen a human being turn green before. Actually green--this weird creamy green. And he (and I) have got the best marriages I know. Anyway, if it should ever pertain to you, remember my advice. 'nuff said.

    If I wouldn't get hit? You're damn right, I'd be at all of 'em. Normandy, Gettysburg, Thermopylae, whatever--as long as I didn't object to who I was fighting with or what for. Jesus, Clopin, that's like asking Taylor Swift if she'd sleep with a record producer.

    Would you tell a moderately pretty/fairly plain girl she was gorgeous to get her in bed?

    Well I'm pretty anti-marriage generally so we'll have to see if it ever comes up. I want kids though... kids of my own genetic material too.

    Of course, if I thought that was the right thing to say. Even average looking girls are told they're gorgeous about fifty times a day, so generally I don't find it helps the cause all that much.

    And hey man a lot of people might not want to be at any sort of battles!

    Would you double date with James and Nora Joyce?

    Nah, writers are nothing but trouble.

    Would you apologize to end a fight, even if the other person was flagrantly to blame?

    Never.

    Would you lose a limb in order to save the life of a random stranger (you pick the limb).

    Yes, best to wait on marriage for now, then.

    If I could choose one of the stranger's limbs, sure. But for family or a beloved friend, the proverbial right arm.

    Would you go to a wedding alone where you only knew the groom's father?

    I am not a big fan of weddings, so I probably wouldn't got to a wedding period unless I was close personal friends with the couple getting married.

    If you worked in a restaurant would you spit in the food of a costumer who annoyed you or was rude to you?

    Yes, but not over something petty; they would have to be intensely rude or personally insulting. I once dropped a guys drink and ice cream on the floor and then spent fifteen minutes very, veeery, laboriously cleaning it up instead of serving him, until he eventually left (I was the only one working at an ice cream place) because he called me stupid when I misinterpreted his asking for a raspberry pop as asking for raspberry ice-cream. I was indispensable at that job fortunately (very busy summer and I was pretty good) but I was fired once due to customer complaints while working as a cashier. People seem to think they can speak to the person bagging their groceries however they like; well they can't and I will always defend myself in that sort of situation.

    Would you poison the food of the nastiest person you knew in highschool if you could get away with it? They will vomit and have a stomach ache for weeks (assuming you get the dosage right).

    If I knew I would get away with it and not get caught than yeah I probably would do it.

    What would you do if you had the power of invisibility?

    My answer to that question might incriminate myself

    If you could have any supper power what would you choose?

    Dorian Gray style good looks which never fade.

    Would you marry a repulsive man for a fortune if you knew he would be dead within a year?

    I might be tempted for a moment but in the end I don't think I could truly follow through with actually doing it.

    If you could live in any period of time (besides this one) which would you choose?

    I think I have a bit of the explorer in me so something like the early 1800's in America with the westward expansion sounds appealing.

    given the choice between singing well, being able to play any musical instrument, or having good artistic talent (drawing, painting, sculpting) which would you choose and why?

    Singing well because I dislike my voice and I know that's something I will never learn. + 4thegirls.

    Would you rather be an excellent poet, an excellent novelist, an excellent philosopher or an excellent historian and why?
