- I'll respond by asking you five questions.
- Update your journal with the answers to your questions.
- Include this explanation and offer to ask other people questions.
Apparently the original meme asked you to say "ORANGES" but the person I responded to,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
doeri said to use kumquats because she likes them better, so I'm saying 'apples' for largely the same reason. Also safeword.
So here are the asnwers to the questionsdoeri asked me:
1) If you could run your own Shakespeare troupe, what production would you do first?
Interesting question, becuase I don't think I'd ever want to run an acting troupe, ever. It's hard enough just being on the board of the one I'm on! The idea of being in charge does not appeal.
That said I've toyed with the idea of doing Loves Labour's Lost as a 60's beach movie type thing, so if I ever took the plunge, that's what I might try for.
2) There were rumors recently of Johnny Depp playing the Doctor in a movie version of Doctor Who. That turned out to be false. If it were true that they were actually going to do a movie version of the Doctor, who would you have play the Doctor and which of his sidekicks would you want to see in the movie?
Oh, gods...well, they tried an American hybrid in 97 and the Doctor in it was fabulous, but the story was kind of stupid, so if we're talking about an American produced movie...Do Not Want. If someone had to do a feature film, I'd rather they stuck with whichever actor is currently playing the Doctor. Failing that, something with ALL the Doctors using that Forrest Gump technology wherein the actual actors are green-screened into old clips would be super awesome.
3) In what part of the UK would you want to reside?
Some southern village I think. Hadn't really thought about it, to be honest. I guess if I ever really decided to pack up and move, it would have to be somewhere with resources for Charlie and a place where I would actually have a job.
4) Is single motherhood easier or harder than you expected?
Hmmm...Easier in some ways because I have 'free' weekends where I can go off and do grown up things without worrying about finding someone to mind Charlie. To be honest, as far as caring for Charlie, there's not that big of a difference. The Ex was never completelly stellar in the 'helping me' department, and if I were to be honest, I probably wouldn't let him help at times because I didn't trust his reactions.
There have been times recently where I've wished I had someone who could help me with the more 'boy' aspects of Charlie. And it can get lonely, but mostly I'm happy being a single mother.
5) Do Jersey diners still make the best desserts?
I hate to admit it, but I rarely get desserts at diners. Jersey diners make the best breakfasts though. There are a couple of places near me that make the best omlets.

2. Would you ever want more children? I don't ever want to give birth to another child. I would consider adopting one if the circumstances were right.
3. What's your idea of a perfect evening's activities? Depends on the company. ;-) Something that involves friends, and laughter is good. A Knit night sounds appealing. A night full of Spades sounds like fun. Dinner/movies/dancing with someone sounds like fun. Lately I have been rather enjoying quiet nights at home.
4. What's the stupidest joke you ever heard? wow.. that's hard. I've heard a LOT of stupid jokes. Here is one of my favorite ones:
A duck walks into a bar and asks the bar man "you got a grape?". The man replies "sorry but we don't sell grapes", the duck sighs and walks out.
The next day the duck returns back to the pub and asks the same question, "you got a grape?", the bar man replies "i told you yesterday that we don't sell grapes here, now get lost". So the duck turns and walks out!
The following day the duck enters the bar again, but before he can ask his question the bar man shouts at him "if you ask me for a grape again i will nail your beak to the bar, you got that?".
The duck looks up at him and says "got any nails?", "no" replies the bar man.
The duck pauses, "you got a grape?"
5. How far would you travel to see your favorite actor/singer/etc? - I'm lame, I wouldn't travel very far. However, I have driven to Chapel Hill NC and NYC with Brian to see a couple of his favorite bands if that counts.
