1. What's the most important thing for your friends to know about you?

2. What's the nastiest thing you've ever done with someone? Nasty being a subjective word, I realize--but nasty in the sense of "not mainstream."

3. What would be the song or piece of music you would want to hear while on your deathbed?

4. What's your favorite personal drugs story from your life?

5. What's love got to do with it?

6. You only have one more chance to post to LiveJournal--ever--what would your post be?

Good questions!

1. Hmm. That I'm slightly paranoid, and yes, I do spook occasionally. Sometimes at very odd times. But it's not real common.
2. Hey, living around here, the mainstream's kinda wide. Nastiest public was a scene for a woman who wanted to pick up a particular person at bondage a gogo; it worked great when I handed him the paddle and said "Here, finish up" and whispered "She wants YOU" into his ear. But dress up, role play, different strokes--all common.
3. I've got a list in my will for the wake; probably Peter Gabriel's latest about death, but possibly some gospel, or even Handel's Messiah--love to sing that.
4. Ha. The time the queen, who was probably more clued than we imagined, waved her hand at the three of us and said "Oh, don't stop giggling on my account. Keep laughing!" "Yes your majesty" and we were hosed until far after dawn. My sides hurt for a week. Much more to this story, of course. Or possibly the time I did kata at a dead concert and drew a crowd of appreciative watchers--we all agreed I left tracks, but the color interpretation was pretty amazing.
5. A HUGE amount, but love is a lot broader than most people see. It gets you in trouble, though, to let out your love--as you would know from your moonlove. What happens if She brings babylove to someone who doesn't want it? What happens when love of the body leads to death of the spirit connection? Tricky things. But the main cry there--love vs. Sex vs. connection vs. emotional needs--depending on the song of course, is really more about being able to enjoy your feelings and experiences without having to throw that cultural label on it. Just as gender is beginning to unfold, these relationships and feelings are now more shadeable.

If not love, however, trust and caring. And what is love, but trust and caring? Desire is lust is a part of it, but not the active action of it.

6. That I'm not going to post to my LJ anymore; you need to seek me out in person to talk with me, and EMAIL ME YOUR PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS for contact purposes. I've been close to that twice.

"...or even Handel's Messiah--love to sing that."

My Dad specifically requested the Hallejulah chorus at his funeral. Because he was a doctor and we knew a lot of his patients would be coming who might not get it, we specified it was his request in the funeral-program-thingy. Lots of laughter mixed with tears when it played. So much more him than, say, Paschelbel's Overused Cannon (a favourite of funerals and weddings, bizarely)

"All we like sheep"--bass aria--one of my favorites. But more likely "He trusted in God", that's the time I'll want to hear it.

Messiah Arias

Actually, "All we like sheep..." is a chorus piece. Are you perhaps thinking of "Why do the nations so furiously rage together?"
(I've sung a lot of Messiahs. I think that oratorio is branded into my brain. Fortunately I still like the music.)

You're right! "Have gone astrayayaya". But since it starts with the bass, I tend to think of it as mine. Possessive, ain't I? Of course, at the Sing Along Messiah at Stanford, you can sing anything you want to try for...
