It's Judgement Day... again.
1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
PhD student, part-time teacher and office drone.
Hobbies: reading (obviously), writing short stories and poetry (badly), writing articles and essays (brilliantly), singing (heinously), and drawing (with decidedly mixed results). I’m addicted to comedy, nature/music documentaries and HBO series. I run a spoken word event at my university which encompasses performance poetry, stand-up comedy and other forms of verbal diarrhoea, and maintain an active social life centred around getting spectacularly drunk with the most pretentious people I can find.
2. Where are you from?
South East England.
3. Who is your favorite author?
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Norman Mailer, Emile Zola, Kurt Vonnegut, Toni Morrison, William Faulkner, Gunter Grass, John Fante, Charles Bukowski, and the obvious Shakespeare. Don’t knock it, he’s better than you’d know from having him shoved up your arse for seven years at school.
Honourable mentions go to Jack Kerouac, Philip Roth, Kathy Acker and William Burroughs – inconsistent writers who experienced occasional moments of sublimity.
4. What are your favorite films?
Home videos of myself, preferably naked.
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
My slightly inferior half has requested Tom Waits’ Downtown Train. Since he’s going to spend the rest of his life cooking for me and fanning me with palm leaves on warm days, I’ll probably let him have this one.
6. At your funeral?
Tears. I’ll haunt anyone who has the sheer front to not break down and weep in utter desolation at what the world has lost.
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
Sacrificing myself in the process of blowing up the Daily Mail offices.
8. What kind of casket would you want?
Casket? I’m having a fucking temple, complete with suitably ostentatious shrine.
9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
Fashion bores me – classic, well-fitting and becoming. Beyond that, it’s the luxury of someone who’d look good in a sack to not give a shit.
10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
Being unaware of the burden of brilliance.
11. What's your favorite band?
Captain Beefheart, The Pixies, The Beatles, Tom Waits, Jimi Hendrix, The Buzzcocks, Can, Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, The Pogues, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Devo, The Monks, Aphex Twin, Janis Joplin, Pitman …
What is this, a memory test? Fuck off.
12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
^^^, BA, and masters.
13. Why did you join?
To troll.
Well, partially to educate the inferior. But mainly, to troll.
14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
Judge.
Judging you always,
The Judge

Ah, The return of the brilliant one. I hope you have a yearning to smite the imbecilic morons that roam the boards.

I'm sure that yearning would deaden after a few months and the job still wouldn't be completed.

It's a socio-historical look at the American novel, 1945-1990. Kind of a blend of cultural studies and literature.

From now on, I AM the marriage list. It's a fair and reasonable offer.

No thanks, I don't drink on behalf of sexists.
Now you don't know whether I'm a woman who's offended at your suggestion that females don't have balls, or a bloke who's offended that you're implying arrogance is an inherently male feature. I know this must be terribly confusing for you, but see it through - you'll emerge wiser. ;]

So you're not a judge, so much as a totalitarian dictator?

Yes, but it will be too much for your mortal form and some dark stranger will have to come and exorcise you before you destroy the world with powers beyond your control and blah blah. It'll be far less annoying for everyone who's ever seen a film about a comic book hero if you don't.
