Very cool meme from timberwolfoz:

Donkeys or sandcastles and why?), or deep--and I'll answer honestly as I can! Then post this in your own LJ and see what kind of things people want to ask you!

1. What do you think of _____________ ?

2. When did you last ____________?

3. __________ or ___________ and why?

4. What did you ______________?

1. What do you think of the claim that men can induce lactation? (I just read an article about male lactation, and my eyeballs leaped from my skull -- I always thought male nipples were vestigial!)

2. When did you last write your own poetry?

3. Narnia or Middle Earth and why?

4. What did you dream about last night?

5. What's your favourite architectural style?

6. How would you feel if one of your kids decided to move to Europe permanently?

7. Who would you most like to play you in your own biopic?

(Wow. I kind of suck at asking interesting questions, don't I? :p)

1. Men can indeed induce lactation (and so can women who have never had a child). They would never be able to produced enough milk to entirely support a baby's nutrition, but it can be done (with the help of herbs and/or meds and stimulation).

2. I honestly can't remember. Probably sometime in my twenties.

3. Middle-Earth. Even if I didn't adore the story utterly, the Narnia books are a tad too preachy for me (I've never seen the Narnia movie. You may slap me now).

4. I don't remember dreaming anything last night. Which is boring, since I have had some really vivid dreams recently.

5. To look at? Gothic Revival (aka Neogothic). There are grotesques and gargoyles!

To live in? New England Colonial (I used to live in a house virtually identical to the one on the bottom of the page).

6. Strangely enough, I'd be all for it. I'd miss them terribly, but they'd be doing something that meant a lot to them and I wouldn't even begin to try to talk them out of it. Hannah has talked about moving to Australia, and my answer has been pretty much "yay, go for it!" Not sure she will, though, and that's very okay, too. :)

7. Molly Parker.

I've never seen the Narnia movie. You may slap me now.

I actually asked that question purely because I happened to be watching The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe on TV at that very moment. I saw it in the theater when it came out and felt "meh" to "nah" about it, but watching it again tonight... well, let us just say that no slapping will be required, and I'll probably be skipping Prince Caspian this summer. (That said, I don't know how I would've answered this question. I think it would be almost a crapshoot for me... but Middle Earth would probably win by a foot-hair. *wink*)

Also, I am with you on the Gothic-Revival love. One day when I build my dream house, it will be an elision of Gothic and Tudor. Not Gothic Revival, though, even though I adore looking at that style -- there's just a little too much Victorian-gingerbread influence in the Revival for me. I prefer the pared-down Gothic Original Flavor (TM).

THERE IS NO SAM GAMGEE IN NARNIA. This alone settles the whole bloody problem.

I suppose this could be considered a little gingerbready, but gah. Gorgeous. And not in a Hansel-and-Gretel way. Also this, which doesn't look gingerbready at all (although I've never been inside, but I WILL, DAMMIT. SOMEDAY I WILL).
