Getting to know you

[Wingnut]

7. Who is your favorite band? Just one? (yeah, this survey is starting to turn into a non-committal red flag!) See playlist on profile.

Good idea, since I couldn't pick one either. And I forgot that I still have Christmas music on my profile page. Going to change that right now.

...

Okay, Wingnut's normal playlist now available here: Wingnuts Profile » LDS Mormon Network

Is that a rule? Cause then I'm listening to all kinds of music that I'm either too young or too old to listen to.

I'm just giving Dravin a hard time, and making fun of him for listening to my mom's favorite band.

Do you know the Bland family?

The Traveler

I think I know part of it, if you could hum a few bars from If I only had a Heart.

When your taste buds you are missing

and food you are a dissing

What a wasteful shame.

Without a much of a hint

and very little squint, I can guess your name:

Bland family, as tasteless as can be

but no one is to blame.

See its genetic not diuretic

we're all not the same.

9. Who is your favorite author? Gene Wolfe

Okay, I'm either hallucinating (which has happened), or I'm still hallucinating, because I remember I asked you about the book "Shadow and Claw," because I thought I remembered you writing that you had read it with a dictionary by your side. But when I asked you, you said it wasn't you. So, was it some other Moksha I asked or am I hallucinating?

And if you read it after that, how the #%$#$% did you get through it? Becuase I'm not stupid, and I have tried to read that book three times now and can't get through it.

By the way, I read somewhere recently where Wolfe is considered the best SciFi author of all time.
