My questions (from Emei):
1. What do you like best about the lakes? I love the feeling of the water against my body when I dive in off the boat--the rush of it, the tingly cool feeling of it streaming around my fingertips and in my hair.
2. Who is your favourite fictional character and why? Oh my god, I have to have just one?!? Okay...probably Galadriel, if we're going for favorite of all time. I had a serious case of hero-worship for her as a kid, used to play Lothlorien with my girlfriends and always was related to her in some way. She's just so kickass.
3. Have you traveled abroad? Not nearly as much as I would like. I've never been off the continent, though I've spent a fair amount of time in Canada, mainly in Stratford, Ontario at the Shakespeare Festival.
4. Which is your least favourite Shakespeare play? Either Pericles, which I saw done in Stratford and cannot believe was written by my baby--in my defense, there is some genuine scholastic debate on that--or Taming of the Shrew, despite the fabulous banter. I can't figure that play out. I know it can't be as bad as it seems, because this is coming from the man who wrote Rosalind, fer chrissakes. But I can't figure out what he's doing with it, and it worries me that maybe it is as bad as it seems.
5. Why do you dislike Dickens? Because I don't think I've ever been able to love any of his characters. They're all tiresome and self-involved and beastly, and I tend to wish that they'd just go away. I honestly don't understand why the literary establishment likes this guy so much. I mean, Tale of Two Cities uses more cliches that your average ff.n fic, and Lucie Manette is a bloody Mary Sue. /rant :)
