1. Feathers
2. A bird. It would be fascinating to fly and hopefully have a beautiful sing song voice.
3. Have you ever read fanfiction?

1. Arrows
2. Yes. I've even written some:

3. What's your favourite Easter movie?

1. Hawkeye
2. Probably The Easter Parade, with Fred Astaire and Judy Garland.
3. Who is your favorite superhero?

1. Bullseye.
2. I think I'm going to have to be boring and go with Superman, because it's either him or Captain Planet. (Or Batman from the 60s television show, heaven forbid. ) Somehow I've never really gotten into the superhero mania that's swept over the world the past decade or so. One of these days I'll have to catch up on all the films. (There are so many. )
3. What's a song that has intense nostalgia for you?

1. Game shows (there was a long-running game show on British TV called "Bullseye", in which contestants answered questions and played darts).
2. "Summer" by Bobby Goldsboro. It reminds me very much of holidays in Wales when I was very young.
3. What's one thing you've seen in the news this week that's made you particularly angry or sad?

1. Family Feud, a game show popular in Australia.
2. Internationally, the recent news item I find most appalling today is the Taliban takeover of an Australian military base in Afghanistan. I know there are sadder and angrier occasions in the world and at home, but the sheer futility of our undoubtedly well-meaning national efforts is still hard to take. Our own Prime Minister, John Howard, in USA at the time, stood side by side, unreservedly, with George W Bush in America on 11th Sept 2001, and continued to do so until 2007, when both he and George Bush lost office.
3.What would you do if you had heaps of money, and the long-lost Sapphire Coronet of Queen Victoria had just been found, which is to be auctioned, and which the UK government wants for historic reasons?

1. The Hatfields and the McCoys
2. It's so pretty, I might just buy it for myself! No, just kidding. Unless I had almost infinite wealth that would allow me to make sure that it's put on display for the public to enjoy, I'd divert my funds to poorer corners of the world that needed them more.
3. If you could turn into any animal for one day, what would it be?

1. American Civil War
2. Hmm... I'd have to go with a dog a boring answers I know but do love dogs and Ithink being one Would be outrageously fun.
3. If you could whitness any historical event what would it be?

1. English Civil War
2. I'd quite like to be around as Jesus was teaching his disciples after the Resurrection - if they didn't mind the company of a Gentile who doesn't speak Aramaic, Hebrew or Greek. Failing that, the premiere of "Iolanthe" at the Savoy Theatre in London in 1882 - the first show in the world (I think) with electric lighting, followed by the chance to meet Gilbert and Sullivan themselves (and maybe audition for them!).
3. Which TV show would you most like to be a character in?

1. The War of the Roses
2. Probably The Andy Griffith Show. I watched it a lot growing up and both my parents grew up in small towns in North Carolina, which is the setting of that show. I'd love to have the experience they did. (I've always lived in the city and suburbs—bleh. )
3. What's a recurring dream (or type of dream) that you have?

1. Dukes of Lancaster and York, and Henry Tudor
2. Yes I do have recurring dreams of travelling, especially on trains and buses. Some are bad and others good, especially if I am on the right track. But I never really reach my destination without some drama or another.
3. Do you find some periods of history more fascinating than others, and why?

1. Sergeant York.
2. Medieval Iceland. They had a unique form of decentralized governance where you could subject yourself to a different chieftain without having to move your geographical location. That system lasted for about three hundred years and I think it's a very interesting period in history.
3. What's a part of the world that you've always wanted to visit?

1. WWII*
2. Hmm. Well, the Orkney Islands, I think!
3. Do you have a song that feels like home?

*Yes, I know he fought in WWI. WWII still comes to mind first.

1. Grandfather.
2. "Edelweiss"... I don't think I have a drop of Austrian blood in me, but my mom used to sing it to me a lot when I was little.
3. If you were going to write your autobiography, what would you title it?

1. The First Doctor.
2. "Don't Bother, It's Not Worth It". As much advice to any would-be readers as a commentary on my life.
3. If you had the opportunity to live in Narnia, which one item of our-world tech would you take with you?

Oh, but I think I might pick up an autobiography called Don't Bother, It's Not Worth It because it sounds like it might be amusing.

1. Hippocrates.
2. An eReader with a lot of memory and a built-in solar charger. I'd want to be able to take several thousand books and articles with me.
3. Borrowing a meme I've been seeing on Twitter lately... what are three fictional characters that describe you/your personality?
