andrewducker was nice enough to ask me some interesting questions...1) You get to redesign your body from the ground up. Describe.
Height - about 6 inches more. Corresponding to that, feet would need to be bigger.
Legs - without that flabby bit below the buttocks, and with the muscles slightly more defined.
Stomach/belly - reduce its tendency to balloon outward after having eaten.
Lungs and heart - stronger, for ability to jog/run longer/faster without becoming winded.
Spine/neck - perfectly aligned.
Back - more cushioning muscle/flesh over the spine and ribs.
Arms - with the muscles slightly more defined.
Fingers - somewhat longer.
Breasts - remove. Replace with chest muscles to aesthetically balance the rest of my physique.
Skin/pores - no bumps, acne, greasy skin, body odor, etc. No becoming wrinkled and flabby with age. No more fat accumulation than is aesthetically pleasing to oneself.
Skin & Hair - ability to change to any color/hue/shade/pattern at will (like a chameleon, sort of, except mentally controlled).
Creasemarks on forehead - make them indiscernible except when I am actually creasing my forehead.
Lips - reduce their tendency to stick together.
Voice - slightly deeper and with greater range / greater ability to sing in tune.
Nose - remove all allergies and tendencies towards runniness, post-nasal-drip and congestion.
Eyes - perfect vision, including very good low-light-vision and perhaps an ability to see infrared, as long as it was something that could be turned on/off at will. Perhaps having a changeable eye-color based upon one's mood.
Immune System - immunity to all diseases and cancer, but not necessarily to short term illnesses which don't cause permanent physical damage. The ability to heal/repair/regenerate body after any non-fatal physical damage such as loss of limb or severed nerves, etc.
Blood - add a nonharmful substance that would make the blood taste bad to mosquitoes and all other skin-biting insects.
General - body would be impervious to cold.
Sexual organs - remove menstruation and ability to get pregnant. Significantly reduce lubrication/slime creation. No pubic hair. Perhaps replace clitoris with a retractible penis and route urinary tract through it. No testes, sperm, etc.
Or perhaps even better, replace all sexual organs with a sexual nerve-system spread throughout the skin/body. The nerves would become sensitive when one was in a state of arousal, and sex would be a sharing of touch in such a state.
Perhaps remove the entire digestive system and replace with chlorophyll in skin, or something similar, yet with the same amount of energy produced as by eating.
Brain - telepathic / empathic powers, for sensing other peoples' thoughts and/or feelings, as long as they weren't choosing to block such contact.
.
Some of the above items would only be desirable as long as other peoples' bodies were the same way.
2) Do you think that emotions are learned or inbuilt? Why?
Inbuilt. Emotions seem to be due to varying chemical states of the brain, fluctuating build-ups of certain chemicals due to stresses, etc. I believe people may learn some control over their emotions; how to indirectly trigger such build-ups... But it just doesn't seem likely that emotions, like anger, would be learned from scratch. One might learn the typical responses to emotions, such as acting violently in response to anger, but actually feeling the anger would be instinctive.
3) If you were suddenly rich, how would you spend your time?
Probably much the same as I do now. I really don't know. I'd buy myself a cell-phone to keep in the car for emergency use.
4) What's the activity you engage in that uses your imagination the most?
Pseudo-sexual fantasies, probably. Or considering topics like #1.
5) What question are you most afraid of being asked?
If I knew what it was, it wouldn't be nearly as frightening, since there would have been opportunity to come up with a response to it.
One scary question, only if it weren't hypothetical, would be, if I was given a simple and painless way to die, right now, would I take it?
If anyone would like to be interviewed by me, let me know... and I'll try.

Date: 2003-06-21 12:31 am (UTC)From:I'd want a skeletal system more heavily comprised with metalic minerals to make it stronger, with extra plateing in the rip cage. Plus a dual spinal column for extra shock absorption and support. Claws would be nice too, preferably retractable. A prehensile tail would be nice too... although Ive often fantisized of haveing a long prehensile penis for the same purpose but that would just be silly... although it would make an existeing part more effecient :P
But I think your first sexual organ idea is perfect *nod* I'd like one of those ahahahaha
Wings would be cool... but it would take such huge wings to actually make a human frame fly that they would be very impractical.... perhaps extra muslces and tendans in the legs for jumping?
ahahaha Im such a comic book nerd? cantcha tell?!
If you wanna interview me that would be fun!
Later! :D

Okay, now, the interview:
1. This user pic of yours - explain it please. (Or is my initial interpretation correct - girl attacks giant ant, gets splattered by its blood, feels bad, and turns into batman?)
2. How old are you?
3. If you had to choose one character from a movie, tv show, book, or comic, and live their life, who would you choose to be, and why?
4. One of your entries seemed to indicate that like me, you're a fan of Lexx... Have you seen all of the episodes, and what was one of your favorites?
5. Do you believe in destiny?

Date: 2003-06-21 11:48 pm (UTC)From:1> it's batgirl 3! AKA Casandra Cain. Daughter of the world's most dangerous assasain, David Cain. She was trained from infancy by her father to be the perfect assasain and fighting machine. The Icon is my interpertation of her life story. She made her first kill as a little girl (by ripping a man's throat out)... but despite her training she felt horrible about it and ran away... she carrys the guilt with her and becomes Batgirl to save lives, forever trying to make up for the one she took.... and thusly kicks much ass! ^_^
2> How old do you think I am??? :P Ive heard everything from 14- 25 ahahahahahaha
3> I think it would be nice to be Daddy Warbucks from the musical annie... wait.. you didnt say musicals :P ahahaha
But ever since I was a kid I always loved that show... and it always made me smile and want a daughter of my own someday :p Same thing with Jean Valjean from Les Miserables... although his life was tough... but it also made me want a daughter of my own someday... kinda wierd, huh?
4> Yes I Am A Lawyer! ...mean, Lexx fan! ^_^ Ive actually just managed to get the last DVD to the second season meaning Ive seen the whole 2nd season now! :D I also got to meet the cast at a comic/ scifi/ anime convention which was cool! Brian Downry (aka Stanely Tweedle) is absolutely insane! ahaha
Here's (http://home.earthlink.net/~thebrainlesswonder/lyekkaAuto1.jpg) a scan of my Lyekk autograph :O! She's so hot in real life... I have one of Brian too but I didnt scanner it and I didnt get to talk to Xenia Seeberg but she was there too!
My favorite episode would have to be the one where they went to the planet of Zombie former shadows and Kai goes nuts n just recites poems the whole time ^_^
5> I'd like to not think that there's a such thing as destiny... because if there is then Im doomed.
So is it nothing? We'll never know... Im satisfied with that for now.
That was fun! :D ahahaha Good time waster! I'll have to interview you sometime! **swings away on my prehensile penis**
Re: still lurking
Date: 2003-06-22 03:40 pm (UTC)From:My guess was 18-20. But for all i know, you could be older than me.
Lexx... That's a cool autograph pic... Aw, man, you're better off than I am then... I've got season 2 on DVD, but've only been able to watch about half of the episodes so far, since my DVD player stopped working. Have you seen the first season (the first 4 movies)? If not, I could give you my videotapes, since I don't need them anymore and they're just taking up space. I suppose I could give them away to the library here, but I don't know... if this is the kind of material the library would want on its shelves... heh. My fave episodes are season 3 with Prince and that wonderful hot sandy desert... would have to watch them again to be able to choose which one I like best though.
Yah, go ahead and interview me sometime if you like.
Re: still lurking
Date: 2003-06-22 08:45 pm (UTC)From:and Ive been going crazy trying to find them!
It's funny cause when I talked to Brian Downry I figured I'd ask him what the Movies were called, because I figured he'd know... Well, I guess he didnt.... :P He instead told me a buncha crazy storys about pranks the cast played on eachother ahahaha
But wow! I would love to have them if you dont want them! If you'd want to send them I could cover you on the shipping!
Heeh well... email me about it if you want...
thebrainlesswonder@earthlink.net
