From Zjendjan

1. What's your most favorite thing ever?

I'm torn. There was a moment, when I was playing for a production of Otello, when the piano was in tune and the singers neither overacted nor undersang, and I really do believe it may have been the most perfect moment I have ever experienced. On the other hand, I think that 'sex' more regularly fits the description of 'most favorite thing ever.' Such a dilemma.

2. What are you afraid of?

Did you really expect an answer to that question?

3. Why do you call me duck?

Habit.

4. Do you call everyone duck?

Yes.

5. If so, why can't I get a better pet name?

Do you have a preference?

Right, umm... *searching for what to call him*

Typist: Thank you for humoring me with the Baggins.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

John.

Typist: That wasn't humoring! I love how you play him. ^__^

[zjendjan.livejournal.com]

Right, John...sir. Sir John?

Typist: I keep picking people up without any prior thought. Although The Hobbit is technically my first fandom so I suppose it didn't need much rereading.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

*laughs* They wouldn't knight me, precious. *is trying out a new pet name*

Typist: Bad sort of habit to get into. Pick up Gregory.

[zjendjan.livejournal.com]

Oh. *scratches head* This is going to be confusing.

Typist: John is Gollum! And it is a bad habit. There's not much of a chance of that... I hope...

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

Why confusing, do you think?

Typist: He is, sort of--except he has better diction. And he actually likes people, in a really twisted sort of way. Shucks.

[zjendjan.livejournal.com]

Cause I don't know what to call you. I called everyone back home sir or master or my lord or something.

Typist: I was just thinking of the use of precious. And do you think the Baggins' icons work?

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

And what did you call people of your own rank?

Typist: Aaah, true enough, although he had a much more gay inflection happening there (if inflections can, in fact, be gay). And yes, they do. ^__^

[zjendjan.livejournal.com]

The other servant's aren't my rank. Almost everyone's higher than me or lower.

Typist: *thinks of gay friends* Yes. They can be gay. And thank goodness. I thought he looked kind of hobbit-like.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I think you'll have to make do with 'John,' then.

Typist: All of my gay friends play D&D, and so their every word is said with a 'geek' inflection. And he most certainly does. ^__^

[zjendjan.livejournal.com]

Alright. *tries to see how long he can go without trying to say it*

Typist: If they make the movie now I want him to be Bilbo. Poor Bilbo... my first literary crush.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

What would you prefer I called you? You did mention that you wanted a better pet name--

Typist: Mine was Saltheart Foamfollower. ^__^;; We need more people from the Thomas Covenant books here. And by more, I mean any.

[zjendjan.livejournal.com]

I don't care really. I think I was trying to think of another question.

Typist: *is ignorant* I only had that with Bilbo because my dad read me the book when I was six.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

Ah. *realizes that he's been neglecting his cigarette, and puts it to his lips*

Typist: At about the same age, my dad passed me the Thomas Covenant books, by Stephen R. Donaldson. Massive TOMES, they were, and probably ill-suited to a six-to-seven-year-old (considering that Lord Foul's Bane has the main character raping a young woman within the first seventy or so pages). But I developed crushes on Saltheart Foamfollower and Hile Troy from those books.

[zjendjan.livejournal.com]

You can think of one if you want but I don't like ducks. They make me think of home.

Typist: ...My. I couldn't even read until I was seven and a half. I then proceeded to read LOTR and scare my teachers.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

I'm not likely to break the habit. I suppose I could try, though.

Typist: My parents felt I should have a very, very early start.

[zjendjan.livejournal.com]

I don't care really one way or the other.

Typist: I think my dad just wanted to raise a little geek.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

As you wish. *silent, then*

Typist: But a wonderful one--!

[zjendjan.livejournal.com]

You can if you want to. I just won't complain either way.

Typist: Apparently the books you read had the sam effect. (And Bilbo has an open post of hobbit holiday-ness up if you have anyone you want to throw at him.)

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

No, you wouldn't.

Typist: Maybe later; I've got a date with my sister to catch me up on Lost. And, on that note, see you!

[zjendjan.livejournal.com]

Nope! Uncomplaining Zjendjan, that's my name.

Typist: Oy Lost I gave up a while ago. My sister still calls me every now and then to scream about it.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

I'll call you that, then.

Typist: My sister is frustrated with the latest seasons, but we're still watching Season One, so it's still okay. Really heading out now, promise--

[zjendjan.livejournal.com]

Well, it isn't my real name.

Typist: Season one was amazing. Then I got bored. I swore it off when they killed... Damn. I can't say.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

I don't know, 'Uncomplaining Zjendjan' has a kind of ring to it.

[zjendjan.livejournal.com]

I kind of liked Jacenty.

Typist: Arabella is looking for the gentleman if you haven't noticed.
