"They Did it 'Cause We Said No..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Oh, before I forget--questions from Lillie--! ^____^

1. What is your favorite canon Shakespearean pairing? (Sebastian/Antonio and the like do not count, canon though they may be.)

...Why don't they count? *sulks* Well, in that case, I suppose it quite has to be Hamlet/Horatio. --No, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll be serious. It remains Olivia/Sebastian, for realio trulio canon, although strictly speaking they aren't, either.

Runner-up is Beatrice/Benedick, because Squabbling is Love.

2. If you were going to put beans in your ears, what kind of bean would you use?

Most assuredly dried peas, since one could fit quite a few in.

3. What book most deserves/needs a faithful movie (or play, or musical) adaptation?

Last year I would have said Howl's Moving Castle. This year I believe it's Dark Lord of Derkholm. Dark Lord of Derkholm would make a marvellous film, and it would be altogether too apt, too. (If one is planning to read this book, one should read it in conjunction with The Tough Guide to Fantasyland. Both are by Diana Wynne Jones.)

Alternately, one could say Good Omens, but I'm not sure.

4. Design your ideal pair of glasses.

Ones that didn't break. ;____________________; Er. They would be purple, but otherwise I think mine are nearly perfect. ♥ I love them very much. Wire-rims are fun, and having them smaller the way these are is ever so nice.

5. If you could live in one fantasy land (Oz, Neverland, Narnia, etc.), which would you pick?

*sigh* Westmark. I would then promptly be killed in an uprising; but at least I'd have been there.

--

And, of course, if you poke me, I'll pose five questions at you, in varying degrees of sillyness.

Poetry class to-night! Now I must go finish my Astronomy exam. Yes, another one. *dies*
