Interview meme

The interview meme is doing the rounds again and it'll keep me amused today

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. When others comment asking to be interviewed, ask them five questions.

I was interviewed by salymander

1. What's your favorite curse word? Shit
2. If you had to dress in one color for the rest of your life, what would it be? Black
3. What's your theme song? I honestly don't have one. Greg asked me this years ago and I still don't have one
4. If there's a god and you could ask him/her one question, what would it be? Why are we here
5. If you could go anywhere right now, where would you go? Uh...the Smallville set?

Books I've read this year

1. The Odyssey - Homer
2. Smallville: The Comics - Misc
3. The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray - Chris Wooding
4. Lex Luthor: Man of Steel - Brian Azzarello & Lee Bremejo
5. The Ultimates: Super-Human - Mark Millar
6. The Ultimates: Homeland Security - Mark Millar
7. Supreme Power - J. Michael Straczynski, Jeff Youngquist & Gary Frank

Dave has now jumped onto the 'get Hils reading more comics' bandwagon and gave Supreme Power to me last night so I read it before dinner. It wins a prize for being the first comic book to make me cry

Essentially it's a rip off of the JLA, but the Superman character is raised in what is essentially a governemnt compound with actors playing his parents. They spend the whole time being afraid of him but having to pretend to be a loving family. Mark (Clark) is aware of this and just spends his entire youth incredibly lonely. When he's old enough the government recuit him as a supersoldier and his parents are relieved when they are told their deaths are going to be faked (because research shows that the death of parents will make him more devoted to serving his country). It's just so sad! He's so alone

Anyway, he's now met Blur (Flash) and Nighthawk (Batman) so he's starting to make some friends finally.

Looking forward to reading the next one

Greg and Dave have now recommended The Authority, in which the Superman and Batman characters are gay. Must read! But I shall finish the Angel book first.

Day. From. Hell

ZOMG! This has truly been the day from hell

It started when the hotel tried to overcharge me this morning and I had to make them add everything up on a calculator to prove I was right.

Everything was fine after that unil we got to King's Cross.

ALL the trains north were cancelled. Seriously, every single one. Apparently it was something to do with a power failure.

We were advised to go to London Euston and get a train from there.

When we arrived at Euston we queued up for 10 minutes only to be told we were at the Tourist Information desk and that rail enquires were elsewhere. We queued again for another 10 minutes and were told to go to Birmingham and change there.

Unfortunately Greg misread the platform number and by the time we got to the right place we'd missed our train. We were advised to get the Manchester train and get off at Crewe. Greg questioned this but was assured that Crewe was the place to change.

We got to Crewe and were told there were no trains to York and that we had to get a train to Manchester (ie the train we'd just got off). RAGE!

We finally caught a train to Manchester and got a train to York from there. In the process I missed the last train to Northallerton (well, there is one at 11:30pm but dude, no way) so Dad-Ra is coming to pick me up in a bit

I left my training course at 1:45pm and got home at 10pm. I have travelled on 6 different trains today. I have been up since 7am and most likely won't get back to my parents much before midnight

I was going to watch SPN to cheer me up but I don't think I'll have time to watch the whole episode so I think I'm just going to find some pics of pretty men to gaze at for a bit

Hee!

OMG! SPN was hilarious!

That cheered me up no end!

Also, I totally get the Wincest thing now
