We make our own fun. ~*~ Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2002 22:48:34 To: Clark From: Martha Re: Fwd: GTKY Okay, Clark, I've answered some of these questions a little differently on the copy I'm sending your father. Please don't tell him about a couple of things - my teenage years were a little... rebellious. 1. Time is relative; what time do you want it to be? I want it to be 1992 again, when Clark was little and we weren’t worried about things like meteor mutants and rogue cops and Jonathan being framed for murder. 2. While you're at it, go ahead, change your name to the one you always wanted: I always liked the name Lana. I suggested it to Laura Lang when she was pregnant. 3. Speaking of relativity, ever dreamed about Einstein? Yes, actually. I dreamt he was telling me that Clark’s parents had died a very long time ago by our standards, and that we should take good care of their boy, since they couldn’t. I wonder if that’s because I feel guilty sometimes, that everyone else lost so much in the meteor shower, and we gained our most devout wish when we found Clark. 4. On the subject of names, do you know your Star Wars name? No. 5. If you answered yes to #4, do you embrace your inner geek and take her/him out for regular exercise? N/A 6. Have you always lived on Earth? Yes. 7. Do you believe in extra-terrestrial life? Yes. 8. Well, they believe in you, and now they've invited you to their home world. With no guarantee of a return ticket, would you go? No. I don’t want to leave my family. My men wouldn’t survive without me. They’d spend all their time fixing their cars and drinking milk out of the carton. 9. If you could live anywhere on Earth, where would you live: Right here in Smallville. Anywhere my boys are. 10. Are you now, have you ever been, or do you dream of being an Elvis impersonator? I dated one in college, before I met Jonathan. He came out of the closet a year later. I always did wonder about the rhinestone and leather fixation he had. And Gabe Sullivan does a hilarious Elvis on Halloween. 11. Who might you have been in a previous life: Elizabeth I We redheads must stick together! 12. What was your birthday: 1533 13. Are your favorite things animal, vegetable or mineral: Animal. 14. Bright, shiny or glittery: Bright, like Clark’s smile. 15. Time to go shopping. Boutiques, the mall or online: I miss the boutiques of Metropolis, but Sears is fine for growing boys and husbands who need new overalls. 16. Actor/celebrity that tempts you enough to consider changing your sexual orientation, if just for one night: Oh, geez. Jodie Foster. 17. Character -- book, film/TV -- that you really, really wish was real, if just for one night: James Bond. The Sean Connery version. 18. Rich or famous: Rich. No more worries about the farm. 19. Famous or infamous: neither. Just rich, thanks. 20. Would you spy for your country? Yes. If needed, I would serve. I’d be better than Mata Hari. Most men have a weakness for smart redheads. 21. If you are, or have ever been, a spy for your country would you admit it? No. I’d take it with me to the grave. I’m good at keeping secrets. 22. Least favorite color: Orange. 23. Food you hate most: Brussels sprouts 24. Worst movie(s): 25. TV show(s) you detest: I don’t watch much television, honestly. All those women-in-jeopardy films on Lifetime – those bother me. I like to think I can take care of myself without needing a big, strong man to cry on. Not that I don’t like having a big strong man around the house. I do. But I don’t need to be rescued. 26. We've all got guilty pleasures. Film/TV or book series that, rationally, you know is so bad it can curdle milk but you can't help but to watch/read anyway: Star Trek. The original one. I had a thing for Spock when I was a girl. 27. Actor and/or celebrity you would pay to slap: Lionel Luthor. Have you seen the way he treats his son? 28. You've been offered a job that pays obscenely well. It's in porn. Would you accept the job offer? No. 29. Didn't say you had to star. What if it was in production, advertising, sales and distribution...? Jonathan wouldn’t approve. If I weren’t married to him... 30. If the opportunity arose, and you could get away with it, would you commit immeasurable acts of violence -- so horrific as to permanently scar the homicide detectives who will later work the case -- on Britney Spears? No. She’s a talented young woman. I admire her entrepreneurial spirit. And I remember having abs like that. Sigh. 31. If not Britney, then who: Anyone who tried to hurt my son or my husband. 32. Do you believe that the base ingredient in both Coke and Pepsi is carbonated battery acid? It wouldn’t surprise me. You can clean the toilet with it, you know. But it’s not a good method of birth control. You hear me, Clark? You stay away from any girl who tells you it is. 33. Remember the cartoon strip the above question references? No. 34. Last comic book you read: One of Jon’s X-Men books. Something with Wolverine. He’s so sexy. 35. If you could be any comic book hero or villain, who would you be: Jean Grey. She’s another strong redhead, and she’s got two attractive men who love her. 36. Rice, potatoes or bread: Bread. I make the best French bread in the neighborhood. 37. Whipped cream, chocolate sauce or melted caramel: Caramel. Definitely. 38. Who would you most like to lick #37 off of: Jonathan, of course. 39. Addicted? Of course not. Unless, does being addicted to the TV Guide crossword count? I love those things. 40. Conflicted? Yes. I wonder what I should do about my son’s friendship with Lex Luthor. Lex is... older and more experienced, and I don’t like him influencing Clark. I mean, we did our best to raise him with good morals, and he really is a wonderful boy, but I remember being a teenager, and how much I wanted to fit in and have people like me. It can be hard to resist that peer pressure. So I worry about Clark, though I know he can take care of himself. It’s not the physical things that keep me up nights. I worry that Lex is going to hurt him badly. 41. Ever been one toke over the line? Don’t tell your father, but yes. Remember Clark, regardless of what you think, I was a teenager once myself, and I know everything that you want to try. I’ve tried a lot of it myself. 42. Ever been one toke over the line while sitting downtown at a railway station? Yes. Well, yes. Again, Clark, don’t tell your father. It’s a funny story, actually... that will have to wait until you’re at least thirty. 43. Have you ever done anything for which you *should* have been convicted? Uh, no comment. 44. Planning to take over the world? It’d be nice. A woman ruling the world would right a lot of wrongs, I think. 45. What're gonna do with it if you're successful: Right some wrongs, starting with the shameful way the government treats small farmers while subsidizing commercial farming that puts us out of business. 46. Are you only happy when it rains? Rain is good for the crops, so I’m happy when it rains. I also like nice weather, though. 47. Most importantly, apples or oranges: Oranges. Definitely. Sweet and sunshiney. ~*~ victoria -- "I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's depressing."
