Some of you may know that I have been selected to be one of the “Snapshot” teens for the Dallas Morning News, which picks a student (usually a senior), interviews them, takes a picture, and publishes for all to see. I turned in my answers this evening, and I’ll tell you when it’s printed and scan the column. Hurrah!

In the meantime, I present some of my favourite Snapshots from the past: Nelson Huckin Hunt (he must hate his parents) and the infamous Julie Mary Ludlow Miller (a large file, but oh-so-worth the wait). Muaha. I just want to know how much of this is a joke.

Friday Five!

1. Who is your favorite celebrity?

I’m quite fond of Neil Gaiman, because he’s such a nice guy and doesn’t let celebritydom get to his head, but no obvious “favourite” comes to mind.

2. Who is your least favorite?

The Olsen Twins. They count as one entity.

3. Have you ever met or seen any celebrities in real life?

Neil Gaiman (hugged), Adam Pascal (hugged), Luke Wilson, Lisa Loeb, and all actors I have ever stalked (Scott Hunt, Heather Headley, Shere Rene Scott, etc).

4. Would you want to be famous? Why or why not?

I’d love to be cult-famous. Like how most of the world has no idea who Alan Lee is, but those that do adore him. I suppose I’d like to be known for Men at Arms: The Musical (in my delusions of grandeur).

5. If you had to trade places with a celebrity for a day, who would you choose and why?

It would be fun to be J.K. Rowling for a day, so that I could go through her files and read the next HP book early (and send the file to my friends) and find out what will happen in future books.

::explodes:: JAMES FEE EMAILED ME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! AND HE WANTS ME TO CALL HIM TOMORROW FOR A BRIEF INTERVIEW!!! ::spazzes and dies of joy::

Hey! It’s Back to the Future II‘s “Mr. Fusion”! Who needs Iraq when you’ve got 600 million tons of turkey guts?

Alas, the “Inside-Trading Time Traveller” story was apparently a hoax. Apparently. ::shifty eyes::

As someone on Slashdot suggested, “Bah heathen, he’s obvioulsy from the future. its a government cover up! if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck it’s probably just a tool of the conspiracy.”

Wow. It’s quite a surreal experience to go from reading the horrifying Native Son to the happy-go-lucky Castle of Llyr. Remind me to choose more compatible books in the future. But then again, nothing is really compatible with Native Son. I was amused at the truth in Marcelina’s comment that she read A Clockwork Orange afterward to cheer her up. Gravy, that book is amazing. Easily the most haunting and terrifying book I have ever read.
