The Friday Five on a Saturday

[nanila]

1. You're holding a dinner party and can invite three famous people from the past or present; who would they be?
   
   I never understood the appeal of this. I hardly get to see my friends and family. I would rather invite them to dinner than a group of people I don't know. That just sounds exhausting.
   
   
2. You have the opportunity to question someone about something you've always wanted to know and receive a truthful answer; what would your question be?
   
   No no no. In my experience, if someone is holding back on telling you a truth, it's because it is not going to make you feel happy. I'll pass.
   
   
3. If you could change one thing in your life, what would it be?
   
   My workload. See answer to Q1.
   
   
4. If you could save other people's lives by completing an act that would lead to your own death, would you do it?
   
   As ever, answers depend on the context. If we are talking about an overstuffed inflatable raft full of vulnerable children floundering in the English Channel, then unequivocally yes. If we are talking about an autocratic dictator and his henchmen, then absolutely not.
   
   
5. Would you commit murder if you knew that you could get away with it?
   
   No.

You seem to be wearing a towel on your head. Did you perhaps have dinner with a hoopy frood?

Heh. =:o} I actually meant the *above* post.

But since you mention it, the "towel" is not a towel but a peasant's hat, and that was me playing/singing the part of the Rumour Monger in the first staged version of the "Before The Dawn" filk saga. (The 2nd staged version was at the London Worldcon a few years later, and I had more than twice as many versions of that blinkin' patter-song to learn and somehow get my mouth around, *AND* we all had to be off-book 'cos there was proper acting involved! =:oo ... But I don't have an icon from that one. )
