Questions I wished People would Ask me (Part II)

Who is your favourite tragic couple? (Fiction or Non-fiction)

Without a doubt, Heloise and Abelard. Both were intelligent, articulate real people who went through a forbidden tryst which ended tragically. But there is no sweeter couple than these two, just because their end is so heartbreaking.

...I don't know why, but their tragedy speaks to me (even if it can be almost comical in a sense) while other tragic love stories just seem lame and overly passionate like Romeo and Juliet, Tristan and Isolde, Sir Lancelot and Guinevere.

Anyway, I just remembered this question when watching a clip of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" where I found out the title of this film was taken from a poem dedicated to the couple Heloise and Abelard.

Questions I've always wished someone would ask me:

There are a whole barrage of questions I wish someone would ask me.

Here are some:

"If you could be any creature in the world, what would it be?"

-I would be a great blue whale, because they are graceful and peaceful despite their size. Also, no predator can attack me because I would be huge.

"If you could be any predator in the world, what would it be?"

-I would be the great white shark because I admire their vicious, solitary nature. They seem to have a very single-minded behaviour, therefore their voracious mannerisms seems all the more determined and extreme.

I don't know too much about them, but I like the idea I have of them.

"If you could live in any mythical world, where would you live?"

-If by mythical as in legends, I would live in the world of Atlantis underwater. However, if it was a fictional world I would probably live in the world of Damar in the book "The Blue Sword".

"What is your favourite book that you wish you were the only person to love it?"

-The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley

"What are your favourite authors that you cherish the most?"

- Roald Dahl, L.M. Montgomery, Robin McKinley are three. Probably more, but I love these two for creating worlds that I want to live in.

"What type of books do you enjoy reading or are drawn to?"

-Good science fiction and fantasy. I also love reading warped fairy tales. I think those are my favourites.
