cherrySo, yes. That meme that was going around before I left. Holding up my end of it, now.
Chris:
1) You've indicated at various times that engineering is a sort of default major for you. If you could choose any course of study and it held no ramifications for your future, would you still choose engineering as your major?
I'd study a bit of everything. Photography, writing, chaos theory, linguistics, journalism, management, genetics, anthropology, outer space, mythology, design, television...
2) What do you see yourself doing after finishing college (in a big-picture sense - grad school, working, backpacking across Europe, implementing a successful plan to achieve total global domination, etc...)?
Grad work, followed by an exciting career working with people and traveling.
Well, that's what I'd *love.*
3) Given the opportunity to fundamentally alter the history/nature of the universe, what would you change?
I'd tie everyone a little closer together, so we could feel what we did to each other (talk about positive and negative reinforcement) and I'd make sure that people couldn’t just shut out new ideas by refusing to think about them.
4) Reading. Books. Dead trees. Not 'fic. Who are your favorite authors and/or what are your favorite genres?
I aspire to one day write like Diana Wynne Jones -- she rocks my world, and has probably had a greater influence on my own writing than any other author. Don't know if it shows. I like Tanya Huff's current stuff. I've started getting into Pratchett, and really enjoyed 'Thief of Time.' PC Hodgell is the best author you've never read. Doctrow's "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom' has really stuck with me. Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels rock my world, but I don't really like her new/old series. I don't know if I really need to say anything about Gaiman.
'Practical Demon Keeping' is the only book I've ever read where I've been able to say 'You know the creepy druggie the book starts out with? Don't worry, he gets eaten by a demon by the end of the first chapter.' Axelsson's 'April Witch' is a book I recommend to everyone. Robin McKinnley is an old, stand-by favourite. I liked Brust's 'Cowboy Feng's Space Bar and Grille,' though I've never managed to get through any of his others. And, of course, for purely amusing mind-fluff, there is always Robert Asprin's 'Myth' series. The last one was a rather large disappointment, though.
I don't really have a favourite genre -- I guess the closest I'm going to get is 'off-beat.' I enjoy fresh ideas and twists, kick-ass heroines and ensemble casts, and stories driven by characters while maintaining intricate plots.
5) You seem to be the social butterfly sort, or at least the insanely busy making time to spend with people sort. You also seem to be the drastic overachiever sort. The net effect is that this is a fairly typical entry for you over the past year: "Haven't slept in four days. Must travel across country with [group of people] for [event]. Have to order food for servery because school depends on actions of seventeen year old student to continue running. Spent six hours chatting with [fandom] last night. Have great new fic idea. Only scored 99% in all subjects. Must flog self for imperfection. Got concussion while playing [sport]. Third time this week. Feeling dizzy now. Sister is defective. Warranty expired." Is all this drive by (explicit, informed) choice, or are you just sort of following the path laid out for you?
You amuse me. ::G:: But to answer -- I do these things because I enjoy them, or because I'm needed. I have issues with being still or static, and there is nothing that I hate more than routine. What would I do with spare time? Spend it with my family?
I'll admit my brain was ready to blow at more than one point, but summer break just confirms things for me. Summer break is much too long. I'd prefer shorter breaks spread out through the year, because after a while, it really starts to chafe.
Plus: I really don’t think anyone's been through and mapped out my schedule. *I* have a hard time keeping it straight, and I live it...
Indiana:
1. Where do you get the ideas for stories?
Sometimes, it's an image that I just need to get out of my mind. I have this one, right now -- a teenage Emma, skin still blue and purple from the institution and only slightly less sane than Kurt, spinning in the church. He thinks she might be an angel, and because he believes it, she does as well. This should not be written, as I wrote Emma into the first movie.
Sometimes, it's a title, or a line. This is rarer. A story can flower up around a single line in my head, because I want to know how they got there and where they'll go. Karma Downs was half the title, half an image of oil-slick eyes.
Sometimes, I have an ending, and need to work towards it, or stories just spring into my mind, nearly fully formed.
In other words: I'm strange, and have an overactive imagination.
2. Why the major you want to persue?
The one I really want to pursue is industrial engineering. Because it's even *called* the 'people centred field' of engineering. It's the most creative, the most versatile, and I could work literally anywhere, for virtually any company.
3. Why Cherry Ice?
Not a day goes by I don't ask myself the same question...
Because I was fifteen? It was originally an email address, but all the mags used to have these horror stories about online creeps, and I freaked and put it in the 'To' fields. At the time, I thought it was really, really cool.
I like to think I'm not bad at naming characters and animals, but I can't name myself worth spit. If I tried it again, I'd probably end up with something that would be equally embarrassing two years down the road.
In my own defence, I know now that it's not exactly a name that inspires confidence in a person's writing skills...
4. I know you said you were scared of Toronto but now that you've been...what do you think?
Honestly? I thought it was okay. It was Montreal I fell in love with, and now San Fran/the bay area. I found Toronto kind of dirty -- but everyone keeps eyeing me strangely when I say that, so perhaps we just were there at the wrong time.
I'm not scared of it any more. ::G:: I may still make jokes about it killing me, but that's more the self-defacing humour than anything else.
And it really is quite possible it would kill me.
5. Considering your background, would you ever want to work on a farm?
It's good, honest work, and I'd take it. I wouldn't seek it out, and I wouldn't take it on a full-time, long-term basis, but I can see myself summering or interning.
Dex:
1. So, what's it like living in the part of Canada that most closely resembles the remains of a firebombing exercise with wheat?
Hey, it's not just wheat. There's durum, and barley (and, okay, even I can't always tell the difference between durum and bearded wheat from the road) and peas, and the lovely flowering canola and flax.
And. Um -- Elk. There are elk. Nice, huge elk that occasionally play lemming with your vehicle.
Seriously, though, it's not too bad. I didn't really realize how small Saskatoon was until I came back from Cali, or how flat the land was. It's like -- you grow up here, and it's all you know. Saskatchewan is something that just is.
Saskatchewan is one giant road trip. It's a lot about the roads, the driving. Gravel grids, ruler straight. You can drive for hours and hours without seeing a house, let alone a town. You spend a lot of time in the car, to do anything. Town is 20 minutes away, the city 45. There are four houses between my place and town, twelve homes and one town between here and Saskatoon.
A sports game at the school three or four towns over can take seven hours, round trip. Five, seven of us crammed in an extenda-cab truck, a car. Road Cds, an eclectic mix of classic rock, country, rap, and alternative cranked all the way up, and bags of cookies from local grocers as a reward on the way back in the dark.
Cruising the grids at dusk in the back of pickup trucks because there's nothing else to do, grit in your teeth and hair.
Rural Saskatchewan, it's burning barrels and midnight fires with plentiful (if basic) alcohol. Mocking people who buy convertibles and the wanna-be cowboys -- city slickers with big trucks and white cowboy hats (too clean, always too clean) and too-tight wranglers. Saskatoon berry picking on the back tracks, black and white farm dogs, and coyote calls beneath the moon and the northern lights.
2. When are you leaving the hidiously poisonous environment that is your home permanantly?
I should be out of here in a bit over a week. I am actually not-packing right at this moment. 'Course, that won't be permanent, because I think my family is expecting me to continue to work at the gas station for sub-minimum wage on weekends and holidays. And next summer. And the summer after that. And...
3. Engineering at UofS. I'm assuming it's preEng and then a transfer, ja?
That's the plan right now, but my plans rarely come to fruition. I'm starting to become resigned to the idea that I really am nothing special, and as such will do nothing special. It's not like my family hasn't made this abundantly clear.
The problem with a transfer is this: U of T is pretty much the only school that offers the Systems/Industrial Engineering I want to take, and they ask you if you've previously applied.
"So. Have you previously applied?"
"Yeah."
"Why did you turn us down?"
"Um. I didn't."
"Oh. Well, if we didn't want you then..."
"No! You didn't not want me."
"But if you weren't accepted..."
"I wasn't turned down, either!"
"We make decisions on all applications."
"Okay, so cough up. This is really ridiculous..."
4. Who do you think would make the best Prime Minister in the upcoming elections?
Me!
No, I miss McDonough. Chretien has actually started to grow on me lately -- he's like a fungus. I respect out not going into Iraq, I respect him trying to legalize gay marriages. Paul Martin rubs me the wrong way, with his smug superiority and overwhelming confidence and multi-million dollar holdings. Steven Harper scares the daylights out of me, and I'm afraid I don't actually know who's leading the PC right now. I don't want the Bloc in power, and as such am left with the NDP and Layton, who I really rather do like.
I honestly think Sheila Copps wouldn't do too badly -- I know it happened when I was small, but her stepping down as DPM because she couldn't get rid of the GST really gave me a lot of respect for her. Sadly enough, if she hadn't done so, she might be in a position where she was a credible threat to Martin in the upcoming Liberal leadership race.
I get to vote in the election. Me! Vote! It's all very exciting.
5. Name one CBC show that everyone should see.
As 'Twitch City' is no longer on, and I never warmed to Colin on '22 Minutes,' I'll say 'Made in Canada.'
"I guess I was just seduced by the lure of happiness."
"Don't worry, Victor. It's all over now."
LA:
1) If you could have grown up in any other Canadian city, which one would it have been?
Other? My town is barely a hamlet...
Montreal. I loved Montreal. The culture, the language, and the vitality just worked for me.
2) Do you believe in Karma?
In the sense that *most of the time* the shit you do will come back you, and no good deed passes unnoticed.
3) What would you do if you won the Super-7 jackpot valued at over $15 million dollars?
Go to Queen's. Go scuba diving off the Great Barrier Reef. Invest some, buy a whack of CDs and DVDs, and get the full runs of 'Power Play,' 'Once a Thief,' 'Twitch City,' and 'Made in Canada.'
Get myself my very own oboe. Buy myself a pair of jeans, a bunny hug, a bead curtain, and some cool undies.
And I could really use a new pair of sport sandals. Mine are three years old and have served me well, but are currently falling into little tiny pieces.
4) If you could change one thing that's happened in your life so far, what would it be?
I guess I'd stop myself from sliding into home at that one softball game in grade seven. My ankle is seriously messed to this day, and will likely only ever get worse.
5) Legally right or morally right?
I'd really hate to think they were mutually exclusive.
I guess if it came down to it, though -- morally.
Dk:
1. What do you think is the most common misconception people have about living on a farm?
That would be easier to answer if I knew what the commonly held misconceptions were. Most of my friends have a fairly accurate view of it.
If you're hard-working and honest, it doesn't mean you're not smart as a whip as well. I sometimes seem to get a vibe off of people that equates being honest, tough, and tanned with also being a bit simple.
2. You can invite any three historical or fictional characters to have dinner with you. Who do you invite, and what's on the menu?
Will Tippin (Alias), Colleen Blessed (Power Play), and Mulan. Pad Thai Noodles with chicken and shrimp in a spicy peanut sauce. Fresh-squeezed lemonade and heavy whole-grain breads. Homemade saskatoon berry ice cream for dessert,
3. Why engineering?
Process of elimination. Writing is too much by yourself time for me. Pure sciences aren't hands-on enough. I'm told arts (and television and photography in particular) are way more who you know than what you can do, and that might lead to my beating someone up.
(See, this is better than the last time I was asked this and just said 'Um. I'm not actually *sure*...)
And. Um. Yeah. I'm still not exactly sure how this happened. This worries me.
4. If you had to pick one writer's style to emulate, who would it be and why?
Diana Wynne Jones. She has this wonderful, lyrical style, very descriptive, and she weaves amazingly fresh and original plots.
Not to mention she does these wicked 'nothing was what it seemed only it was because once you know it seems horribly obvious' storylines.
5. If you could have any mutant power, what would it be?
Make wishes/thoughts/dreams into reality. Then I could wish I could fly, and then I could fly. The next day I'd be able to breath under water, and the day after that travel through time.
Not to mention I'd be able to likewise accessorize my friends, and do good deeds.
Brucha:
1. What's the most recent song you've heard that you've thoroughly enjoyed?
"Everything About You" by Three Days Grace. Second runner was Tori's "Raspberry Swirl," but I've kind of been in a mood for good, energetic angry rock.
2. What magazines do you regularly read?
Discover and National Geographic. I've been off teen mags for a few years now.
3. Inspired by the silly sitcom meme: You get to choose who plays you in the movie of your life. Who, and for what reason?
Someone completely unknown, because with a lot of the really 'known' faces, you associate them with other roles/their 'RL' personas.
::Cough:: That wasn’t a cop-out.
4. The most irritating description of yourself said (or written) by another person (that nevertheless you have to admit the truth of) is?
I've been called Cherry Sue. Too cheery at times, doesn't shut up, drastic overachiever, plays about twenty-seven sports and nineteen instruments, popular, elected *and* appointed to student council, yaddayaddayadda.
(And all I could really do was growl and say 'Shaddup.')
5. Anywhere in the world, money is no object, internet access is a given -- where would you live? Trick is, this is a permanent location.
Euraisa! Mwhahaha.
I do believe these are the last of the ones I received. ::Raises eyebrow:: If I missed any, let me know?
(This icon is also from Power Play. Mwhah. Loved that show.)
