What would you be if you were...
an animal?
A cat, probably. Alternating between playful and moody. Gently rubbing up against you and purring one minute, and clawing bloody lines down you the next. (If you're lucky. Hehehe.)
a vehicle?
A Morris Minor!pto452 is me. Curvy, shiny, an absolute vision of a s3xxy g0th fet15h chyxx0r in black, chrome, and red leather (hey, okay, I can dream) ... stands out from the crowd, people think she's daft but they just don't understand; drives like a dream provided you don't push her too hard. Push her too hard and she complains bitterly and eventually falls apart. ... Sometimes you can hear my gears grinding.
a song?
Probably the extended bloody 10-minute long 12" remix of something that people put on the jukebox because they haven't heard it for ages, then get bored of it after 20 seconds. Probably "Shiny Shiny", by Haysi Fantayzee.
Oh, okay, okay, better answer... A-side: "Dancing Fool" by Frank Zappa. Kitsch, clever, fast, silly, impossible to dance to. B-side: "Angel, Angel, Down We Go Together" by Morrissey. Mopey, angsty, emotionally over-the-top, but kind of touching anyway.
a fruit/vegetable?
Sharon fruit. Nutty on the outside, soft on the inside, no difficulty freeing the orangey bit. Like a cross between an armadillo and a jaffa cake! ... What-EVER. Is it the weekend yet?
a sitcom character?
The Jewish mother in "So Haunt Me". Hangs around and just won't take the bloody hint to JUST GO THE FUCK AWAY, but you can't help listening to her anyway, and hell, she's kind of funny really, and she's usually only trying to help. Well, and interfere. But mostly help.
a city?
Oxford. Reaching towards the sky, stuck on the ground. (City of expiring dreams.) Romantic but also full of commercialism and materialism. Floods occasionally.
a character from Shakespeare?
Hamlet, without a doubt. Wears black, whines about everything but never bloody does anything, makes a mess of it when he does do it, but makes good speeches about it in the meantime.
I am Hamlet's LiveJournal. (I am Jack's delusions of grandeur.)
(Almost, at times, the fool.)
a kitchen utensil?
Well, I'd like to be one of those huge Chinese cleavers ... ohh yes. Mmmm. ... Where was I? Ah, yes -- I suspect I'm actually more like a stainless steel colander: shiny, gets plenty of veg, but still full of holes.

Date: 2003-04-04 08:53 am (UTC)an animal?
A Komodo Dragon, I think. I like basking, and lying around, and not moving very much most of the time, and using energy only when I have to in short frenetic bursts. And I find their hunting strategy philosophically appealing. [ Bite goat on leg; get nasty dental flora in wound; meanwhile, sit around waiting for a goat someone else has bitten to die of infected wound somewhere close enough you can be bothered enough to crawl to and eat it. Maneki Neko for lizards. ]
a vehicle?
Whatsisname's wheelchair from Snow Crash.
a song?
Depends a lot on mood. Yesterday, something about two-thirds the noisy bits of Carmina Burana and one third "Dominion".
Feeling happier today, and very city-positive.. I think Shriekback's "Bastard Sons of Enoch" would do it, it has the angel element in as well. [ Do you know it ? I can not resist the first two lines. ]
Or alternatively Ellis Paul's "Angel of Manhattan".
a fruit/vegetable?
A cucumber. Cool, contained, and every now and again finding myself in really unusual situations.
a sitcom character?
I always identified with Mork.
a city?
Montreal, without a shadow of a doubt; failing that, some bits of Dublin.
a character from Shakespeare?
Ariel.
I am Hamlet's LiveJournal. (I am Jack's delusions of grandeur.)
I have just remembered a dream I had the other night of a Counterblast to Prufrock which ended "Perhaps I am Prince Hamlet after all." Can't remember a single other thing about it, but I must find something to do with that line.
(Almost, at times, the fool.)
And if the fool would but persist in her folly ?
a kitchen utensil?
A multi-purpose thingummy. Slices, dices, pulls corks from bottles, makes a passable chair and an excellent doorstop..

And if the fool would but persist in her folly ?
When lovely woman stoops to folly and
Paces about her room again, alone,
She smoothes her hair with automatic hand,
And puts a record on the gramophone.
