A journal is supposed to be about myself every now and then, right? So I guess I'll conform for a short time. I'm sure there were rules to this question and answer thingie, but I don't plan on following them. In fact, I may just make up every answer as I feel so inclined.

1. Hi! What's your real name and nickname?
My name is Carlotta the 4th, queen of Stcheinbach. But you may refer to me as Queen Cal, even though I will have to punish you for doing so.

2. Interesting... what's your current age?
I was born in the first year of our queen. By that reckoning, I am aged twenty years.

3. Uh huh. What's your favorite food?
It all depends on what you call "food." I love the cream of ice, of course, but I am partially inclined towards pastas and lasagnas, as well. Unfortunately, Stcheinbach is not a sea-side country--so if you try and shove your beloved "fish food" at me, I will call the guards and have you beheaded.

4. And your favorite drink?
I do not drink. Occasionally a liquid supplement is necessary, but I find myself resembling the characteristics of a camel.

5. Confession time! Who's your crush/lover?
I crush many people, but only as a "catch and releases" because I do not wish to be cruel. I like trophies as much as the next person, but crushed trophies are rather uncoordinated with the chandeliers...

As for love, a queen has a husband, of course! Where would a kingdom be without a king?

6. Aww! Have you two kissed yet?
I'm afraid that this matter is personal, peasant. But may I remind you that we are wed?

7. Classic question! What's your favorite colors?
The correct phrase is 'what are' your favorite colors. Mine would be yellow, of course. But I only like it as a color of light, and I do not appreciate it in it's physical form (either on myself or furniture). As for physical properties, I appreciate a good, royal brown or red.

8. Who's your favourite author?
I am well-read on a variety of subjects, and as such find it difficult to select a single artist from the lot. My favorite author, unfortunately, has not yet written a book. That particular brilliant mind seems to loath book writing...

You think that I refer to myself? Ha! I cannot write worth an ounce! After all, a queen must have flaws as well as virtue.

9. Now what's your biggest fear?
Fears are insignificant, as they are easily overcome by determination and dedication. But if you ask me what I do not enjoy, I would answer this: "I can never be a doctor, since I dislike other people's bodily fluids, and am not fond of sticking over-sized push pins into a subject and injecting them with medicinal liquid."

10. *stifles a giggle* I'm not laughing *bursts out laughing*
Is this a question? Laugh as you will, child. I do enjoy a bout of laughter every now and then... but I'm afraid you, personally, may only laugh during a scheduled "laughter time" which I will designate for you. It is 4:03, and it lasts until 4:18. You are to laugh unceasingly during that duration. Begin.

11. Awesome. Who's your hero?
As in "fictionally powered character?" If I must choose a fictional hero... I suppose I would choose superman. Apparently the only thing that can harm him is a little green, extremely rare rock (which oddly enough shows up far more than it should, considering it's rarity...) I'm sure he would like to serve Stcheinbach.

12. Ok, who is your worst enemy?
Stcheinbach has many enemies. The country of Arguile, the country of Schtumway... the individual named Henry Backington Rogers...

13. What would you do if your hero and your worst enemy got together?
I would order superman to eliminate HBR. And then he would be eliminated... unless HBR somehow managed to get ahold of that extremely rare little rock, and what are the chances of THAT? This is real life! Not a silly, scripted television show!

14. Interesting... what would you do if you met your creator?
I would say "hello," and great him as a fellow royal. Of course, he would be FAR more royal than I, but I would be sure to pay the appropriate homage and adhere to etiquette. And then I would ask him questions such as "have I accomplished anything satisfactory to your person?"

15. Okay, I'll contact them right now. Done! Now, what do you want to be when you grow up?
You are an odd little one. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Although I am not ancient, I do not feel an infant. I am as grown up as I need to be, and that will be sufficient.

16. What's your worst nightmare?
This question seems reminiscent of your fear question. Unless you are referring to actual dreams that I have experienced.

In that case, the only one I remember as being slightly "nightmare-like" was of myself in an old gnarled tree--the sky filled with lightening. Then an odd, over-sized lavender reptile with a clown-like smile was in the tree with me. I suppose I was supposed to be frightened by it, but I realized at that point that it was a dream, and I found it rather silly and pointless.

17. What's your lifelong dream?
I do not have recurring dreams. In fact, I rarely remember my dreams when I wake up... and the dreams that I DO remember are never quite as interesting to supply as a conversation starter as other people that I have met.

18. What would you do if your lifelong dream came true?
Apparently you weren't listening to me. I am a heavy sleeper, but that doesn't mean you can sneak into my chambers at night and poison my cat. In fact, I would discourage that.

19. Ok, where's your favorite place to relax?
I am rarely agitated. But I AM tiring of this examination.

20. Last question! What do you spend most of your time doing?
Stcheinbach is under the oppression of a cruel and vicious overlord emporer with many assistants. Even I, the queen, am forced to clean their luxurious quarters with very little compensation. My life or the scrub brush? Do I really have a choice?

When I am allowed a break from the dictator, I sit here at the electronic media device and answer pointless examinations. Then I play a derision of "tetris" with the king before retiring an few hours after sunset.

21. We're done! Now tag whoever the heck you want
I tag Phillis the elephant. I've been wanting to track herd movements for some time, but I lacked the necessary equipment...
