These are the Q & A as aksed (not a typo, I'm just that hip) by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

1) You seem to be a fan of all things zombie. What is your fascination with or attraction to zombieness?
That is a good question. Romero's zombie movies scared the hell out of me at oh, about age 10. Before then, I was reeling from shark related terror thanks to the first 2 Jaws films. As a kid, I didn't yet recognize the obvious superiority of one over the other. Anyway...I had a series of nightmares about zombies. When I really pondered how horrifying it would be to humanity if the dead did rise, the fear became more and more cosuming. Later, Dawn of the Dead showed me that being terribly sad and emotional over a persons death leaves one extreemely vulnerable to zombie attack. It was at this point that I started making zombie maps with hospitals and police stations marked (to avoid) and things like that...I call that my "preparedness phase". But since, I have moved into a low key state of constant readiness. Human's who have lost all capacity for reason are very frightening to me; which I think is an extension of having an abusive parent who was also mentally ill. Plus zombie stories are most often apocalypse stories, which gives them both an awesome scope and a sense of finality.
2) As a high school student, were you part of any of the readily identifiable and pre-existing "cliques" among people of your age group?
I was pretty bookish, awkward, chubby and nerdy in high school. I had a crush on a guy who later turned out to be gay (but still hot I bet) and spent a lot of time in the presense of egomaniacs. At one point, I convinced some kids who were hassling me that Charles Manson was my real father and that I was a ward of the court. With my name being Wednesday, it wasn't entirely unreasonable.
3) How much do you loooooooooove meeeeeeeeee?
As much as any woman could love a man.
4) Name your five mostest favoritest Talking Heads songs.
Artists Only is my all time fave. The rest, in no particular order are:
Psycho Killer
Sugar on my Tongue
Naive Melody (this must be the place)
Moon Rocks
Everybody Hates Ned Flanders
5) Is being so cool all the time really hard?
No, I daresay that it is not. My coolness comes from my not giving a shit whether or not anyone thinks I'm cool, so it requires very little effort on my part.
Now I'm supposed to ask anyone if they want to be interviewed. But I'm not going to. I'm not really shy about asking questions of people, so I do it whenever the mood strikes me. And right now, the mood to eat some lowfat lemon custard-style yogurt is what's striking me. Ouch! yes, master....
In worse news, my good buddy and smoking partnerpsychswitch is sick. And now I'm afraid he's made ME sick, since I'm feeling queasy mere hours after hearing that he seems to have whatever illness his ladyfriend has had for almost a week. Damn...I sure don't want to get sick. To the Vitamins!
