Moonie's Ramblings

[Prof. Moonie]

What paper that you've written are you most proud of?

There's been quite a few papers I've been proud of over the years. Especially the ones that I got to write on one of my favorite shows or films. I think some - like the one I did on using Harry Potter in education - stand out to me because I got to prove my teacher wrong. Never underestimate what I'm capable of doing.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

If you could live in any TV home, what would it be?

Sherlock's flat - whether it's the one on BBC Sherlock or Elementary. It's small enough to provide a homey feel but still big enough to allow me room for entertaining or engage in any of my many hobbies.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

What's your favorite ice cream flavor?

When I was younger, I used to say French Vanilla was my favorite. But as I've grown older, I've grown less fond of it. Now a days I haven't determined a new favorite yet. Though I suppose I could say Moose Tracks is a favorite.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

Would you rather live for a week in the past or the future?

Do I get to choose when in the past? 'Cause it would be neat to experience some time periods for a week.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

If you could ask your pet 3 questions, what would they be?

I don't have a pet of my own, so I'll just use the cat at my work - Austin - instead. She pretty much considers me her human anyway, so it counts in a way, I suppose.

- Do you miss your brother? If so, what do you miss about him?
- Did you know your sister that much before she lived with R-----?
- Could you imagine living anywhere else besides here? Like if you were to "retire" from being the residence kitty?

 

[Prof. Moonie]

If you could choose your own nickname, what would it be?

Already did. My nickname Kissa is one I chose for myself. During the Japanese class I took in high school, those with longer names could select a shorter "nickname" to use instead. I discovered Kissa as the Finnish word for cat. Since I love cats and could write it with hiragana and katakana, I chose it. Later, after I had been out of Japanese class for a couple years, I discovered Kissa is an actual Japanese word meaning "tea drinking". Perfect for me too because I love tea.

Combined with the other nickname I gained during high school - "Hime" (Japanese for Princess), it's become my main nickname.

Kissa-Hime... or "Tea Drinking Cat Princess" xd

 

[Prof. Moonie]

What 3 famous people, living or dead, would you want at your fantasy dinner party?

Benedict Cumberbatch is an obvious. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would be neat to have. Finally... I suppose Alan Rickman or Princess Diana would be on the top of my list right now.

Yep. It'll be a British party for me. No surprise there.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

If you could ask the President one question, what would it be?

Do you ever regret running for President?

I'm sure there's other questions that would pop to mind when it comes to Trump... but I'll just go with one that's more reasonable. Not that I would want to be stuck talking with him in the first place. Of all the presidents, he is the only one I would never want to meet. I hated him long before he became president. xp

 

[Prof. Moonie]

If you had to leave earth on a spaceship and take 4 friends with you, who would they be?

Picking the 4 friends would be easy for me. But the real question is... would they be able to bring their families (significant other and children) with them? 'Cause it's sort of a "all for one" deal with them. I couldn't imagine having my friends with me without their families.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

Who's your celebrity crush?

If you've been following me long enough, this should come as no surprise.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

What fictional character do you wish you could meet?

While there's a lot of fictional characters I would love to meet, the first one that came to mind when seeing this question was Magnus Bane from the Shadowhunter series by Cassandra Clare.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

Which celebrity chef would you most like to fix you a meal?

Easy. Gordon Ramsey.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

What is something that is really popular now, but in 5 years everyone will look back on and be embarrassed by?

Hmm... Donald Trump. Well... some people are already embarrassed by him today. But I suppose I'm thinking more on the terms of his followers. Like... there's a part of me that really hopes they break out of the spell Trump's put over them and realize what a doofus he really is.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

What are some fun and interesting alternatives to war that countries could settle their differences with?

Play a tabletop game? Do a painting class together? Well, for the leaders of the countries anyway... and maybe their supporting staff. *shrugs* I don't know.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

Alright. I'm going to head off now. Going to try to leave on time today. Originally that was the plan yesterday but one thing lead to another... and getting a last minute call... and ended up clocking out later than usual. Only a few minutes... but still.
