Sure, sounds good. Then I'll drive you over to the Burger King where Batlord works and sell you by the pound. I hear they're running low on roadkill and cat meat, and assholes from New Jersey are the next best thing.

Today I suggested The Smiths to a friend who's a hip hop fan just getting into **** like New Order, Depeche Mode, and The Cure. My exact words were, "You like ***gy 80s rock, right?"

It in fact is.

Is it considered gauche to answer your own questions? Oh well:

What is the worst (objectively--in terms of corniness or being just plain terrible) song that you genuinely love?
I really, deeply love maudlin old jazz and broadway standards (and ANYTHING Barbara Cook), as well as cheesy artists like Al Martino.. But those aren't terrible, really. So, in terms of sheer corniness:

(From my favorite terrible movie, Rigoletto.)
And, this is incredibly embarrassing, but I like ONE Katy Perry song-- let me explain! When I first heard it ('I'm Still Breathing') I thought it was about cheerfully surrendering to death while drafting a passive-aggressive suicide note. I heard the lyric "I sleep with candles burning / I leave the doors unlocked" and thought, "Wow, SO relatable!" I was very young and depressed, so.)

What odd things do you do when alone in your home or apartment?
I am tragically rarely ever left alone these days, but when I am, I might make strange kitchen concoctions in my underwear while singing Blossom Dearie or Judy Garland songs, or monologue to myself as though I'm in a film noir, or lay face down on the floor and groan while listening to Bauhaus-- the usual.

Have you ever had any forum members here pop up in your dreams?
Frownland, Batlord, and one other.

If you were a deity, how would you prefer to be summoned/what offerings would you require?
I'd be a cthonic deity, most likely; I would accept the following offerings: dragon's blood incense, plum wine, honey, sea water, blood (obviously), antique trinkets, cigars, halloween candy, live cats (not to kill!!) and decent-quality liquor. I wouldn't require a full-on Gnostic ritual-type summoning but some degree of theatricality would be required!

What was your very first internet username?
It was something like SanguineScythe. Or CrimsonScythe. Something involving scythes.

If you died and were actually able to lurk around as a ghost, how would you want your funeral/wake to go?
As for my body-- throw it in the trash for all I care. By then I'd be quite sick of it, and would not want to look at it during a funeral. Wait, no! I want to be buried, with something cryptic, brief and passive-aggressive on my tombstone. And night-blooming flowers planted on my grave.
For the funeral: Kermit the frog (I have always wanted there to be muppets involved; I am serious about this) would give the eulogy, followed by a rendition of Big Star's 'Blue Moon'. Or maybe I'd just scrap all of that, and have a regular, boring funeral that concludes with a sudden, startling arrival of a drag queen (lowered from the ceiling, cirque du soleil style) performing "Send in the Clowns", complete with glitter and confetti.

For my wake, I'd like everyone (all four people!!) to become blackout drunk on my grave while playing 50s halloween music.

Don't you listen to fricken Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, and Ke$ha? And Katy Perry is kinda fantastic.

Due to having been a 12 year old girl in the late 90s, I do have a deep affection for Spears (only her first three albums--her voice was SO lovely before they forced her to do the terrible robot-baby voice) and BSB, but the modern ones I only like in small doses. (with the exception of Carly Rae Jepsen, Lana del Rey and Kylie Minogue) But I'm really behind the times, as I work at a thrift store that plays only oldies and 70s pop.

And I don't remember! I do remember that Carly Rae Jepsen was in it-- she had become a performance artist, and was doing the whole living statue bit in a laundromat of all places. You were involved somehow..?

Britney Spears isn't musically desirable so much for herself as her brand, which includes all of the songwriters who prop up her career. There isn't much Britney on her later albums, but she is great at accentuating the massive wall of production she sits on top of.

Quad City DJs - Come On Ride It (The Train) I have fond memories of dancing to this song at a dance in middle school. There was a super long conga line thing going on while we were motioning like a train.

What odd things do you do when alone in your home or apartment?
I pee everywhere except the toilet. Kitchen sink, bathroom sink, bath tub, cups, old bottles, plastic containers.

Have you ever had any forum members here pop up in your dreams?
Vanilla, 333 and holdyoualways.

If you were a deity, how would you prefer to be summoned/what offerings would you require?
The destruction of Apple devices on an altar would be the best way to summon me. My offerings would be the latest technology devices.

What was your very first internet username?
silvercro21, I still use it for things to this day but not as much as I used to.

If you died and were actually able to lurk around as a ghost, how would you want your funeral/wake to go?

I would want strippers to attend my funeral and for it to be filled with random people and if loved ones wanted to come sure. I feel like I would rather have my loved ones come to my wake and talk about their best experiences with me though then have a bbq/cookout and party up.
