1. Leave me a comment saying, 'Interview me.'

2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.

3. You will update your blog/site with the answers to the questions and leave the answers as comments on my blog.

4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.

5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

My answers to oneiriad's questions are:

1) What Hans Christian Andersen fairytale is your favourite?

Hard question - I might have favorites and not know they're by him. So I looked it up on google. There are 127 of them, (2 megs of reading), with interesting titles like 'The Philosopher's Stone', 'The Flying Trunk', 'In The Uttermost Parts Of The Sea', 'The Last Pearl', 'The Phoenix Bird', 'Soup From A Sausage Skewer', 'The Sunbeam And The Captive', 'The Thorny Road Of Honor'...

Those last three I adore for their titles alone, and the rest for their titles filtered through rabid-fangirl-filter.

And I HAVEN'T READ THEM!!! *Weeps* But I will...

'The Ugly Duckling' I know and love, and 'The Emperor's New Clothes' is a favorite too.

 

2) Who do you like most, Crowley or Agent Sands?

Now, that's just mean. Though it does make me appreciate how much I love them both.

But now I'm thinking of hell wiping Crowley's memories and turning him human as punishment, and who he would become.... Except Sands is too much himself for that, no matter how similar they are when you start thinking.

Possibly, just possibly, I'd miss the demon more. But it would HURT, loosing either.

Beautiful snarky Slytherins.

 

3) Any particular reason for your sudden fondness for pies (apart from the obvious)?

Not sudden. The obvious. Plus, when I was younger (10ish, I guess) there was this really good fast food chain called Georgie Pie. They're all gone, have been for ages, and I still resent the fact. I always used to get a mince pie or chicken pie, and then blackberry and apple for dessert. They had GOOD pies, dammit! *rails against the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.*

 

4) If you had 24 hours left to live in, and several millions in your pocket, what would you do?

Spent some time trying to work out what I'd really do, based on what I know of myself.  I don't think knowing I was about to die would suddenly grant me unusual confidence etc.  So I wouldn't jump on the nearest plane and go skydiving or anything. And there's not much point buying things if you're not going to be alive to treasure them. So...

Seriously, I'd probably start by wiping my porn/slashfic collection from my computer, and bulk posting all my works-in-progress to my livejournal.

Donate a million to the local Multiple Sclerosis society with instructions to buy back the holiday units that got sold when the old society split up into our group and what we 'affectionately call the dark side (or tds). (Mum has MS, I'm Secretary, Newslettuce Editor, and proud of it.)

Give a chunk to my brother to have fun with.

Give most of the rest to my parents

Then... chocolate, lots of chocolate. None of this 'which one should I get' nonsense either. DVD marathon, binge-read favorite fics. (Wrens' 'Turning Tides' first, I think.)

Probably buy mum a bookcase.  She's been wanting one.

Order pizza, to be DELIVERED.

Play 'Dance Dance Revolution'

Buy many, many paintbrushes - soft and fluffy. Do something very random in oil-colours.

Dress up in my shiniest/craziest of clothes. (Never mind getting paint on them, for I won't be here.

Write something, maybe.

Somehow obtain kahlua or other liquers and get drunk for first time in life. Also maybe.

Possibly I would, but I suspect I wouldn't, tell anyone.

Of course, I might just panic, and spend the day being comforted by dad, and eating junk food. And raw cake-mix. But I think... not. Or maybe.

Music - loud. Gilbert and Sullivan, Chess, Les Miserables, Il Trovatore. Maybe Eminem.  The soundtrack of 'The Last Unicorn'. Bohemian Rhapsody. The Triumphal March from Aida.

I might even do the dishes, if mum askes really nicely.

And... 24 hours are up, aren't they? I forgot to write my will.

 

5) What is the reason for your username?

Several reasons. I was tenuously in the Harry Potter fandom at the time, the Order of the Phoenix had just? come out, and I wanted an order, so I got one.

Eris, the Goddess of Discord, has always been one of my favorites. There's something about tossing an apple into a room and watching as wars break out and 'oops, there goes Troy'. Fun. So 'order of chaos' worked well with that.

Order/Chaos = opposites. It tickled my sense of humour, and I liked the balance between them. It's practically a wossname, y'know, like 'microsoft works', or 'act naturally'... Oxymoron, that was it.
