Gave Away To Follow Failure Through The Fire

Mood: Sleepy McGee, Crankypants Gibson. Yes, Gibson. Shut up.
Listening To: The sweet sweet sounds of the Barrowman talking about Torchwood Season 2


Alrighty folks, I'm bringing the Klosterman back in a big way. Because I have 15 more entries to go dammit, and I'ma get that shit done. Since, you know, I have time now.

Question 8:You meet the perfect person. Romantically, this person is ideal: You find them physically attractive, intellectually stimulating, consistently funny, and deeply compassionate. However, they have one quirk: This individual is obsessed with Jim Henson's gothic puppet fantasy The Dark Crystal. Beyond watching it on DVD at least once a month, he/she peppers casual conversation with Dark Crystal references, uses Dark Crystal analogies to explain everyday events, and occasionally likes to talk intensely about the film's "deeper philosophy."

Would this be enough to stop you from marrying this individual?

Answer: Probably not. It's just a movie, right? And if it got to be irritating, I could probably just start doing the same thing with Buffy or Dr. Who references. We all have our ridiculously geeky quirks :D

Question 9:

A novel titled Interior Mirror is released to mammoth commerical success (despite middling reviews). However, a curious social trend emerges: Though no one can prove a direct scientific link, it appears that almost 30 percent of the people who read this book immediately become homosexual. Many of these newfound homosexuals credit the book for helping them reach this conclusion about their orientation, despite the fact that Interior Mirror is ostensibly a crime novel with no homoerotic content (and was written by a straight man).

Would this phenomenon increase (or decrease) the likelihood of you reading this book?

Answer: Well, if I'm gay, I'm gay. If a book makes me realize this, then I really haven't been that far in denial. Besides, there's nothing wrong with being current.
