All About Archie (the serious version)
by Sarah B.
The Horatio Hornblower Quiestionnaire: All About....Archie!
NAME:Archie Wallace Kennedy
LIVING ARRANGEMENT:Lieutenant's berth aboard the HMS Indefatigable
FAVORITE PASTIME:Reading mostly, although lately I've been encouraged
to
skylark abovedecks.
FAVORITE BOOK:Anything by Shakespeare, without a doubt. "Henry
V" is a
particular favorite - he was so young, and such a good leader.
An
inspiration.
THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD IS: Feeling the sun on my face.
Feeling
safe. Breaking out of my fears to do things I never thought I'd
be capable
of. Being a friend to somebody.
THE WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD IS: (something written, then scribbled
out
very heavily) I don't know.
FAVORITE SMELLS: Flowers in bloom. Freshly cut apples. The heavy
perfumed
smell a theater gets just before the play starts.
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK WHEN YOU WAKE IN THE MORNING:
Am I alone?
BATTLE: SCARY OR EXCITING: Exciting, unless it goes on long enough
for me
to think about it.
FAVORITE FOODS: A good roast, fresh fruits. Horatio's father's
housekeeper
makes a superb beef tea.
CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA: I don't get much of either, but given a
choice I like
a good rich vanilla. It tastes like the home I knew when I was
very young.
STORMS, COOL OR SCARY: I've never really been able to enjoy thunderstorms,
although I know some people find them exhilerating. I mostly don't
like
the noise.
FAVORITE DRINK: Hot tea with cinnamon.
IF YOU COULD CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT THE WORLD, WHAT WOULD IT BE:
I would
make sure that nothing innocent was ever afraid.
IF YOU COULD CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT YOURSELF, WHAT WOULD IT BE:
I would be
bolder. I often think I might be more like Horatio if things had
gone
differently. But never mind that.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE: Not really I don't think. It frightens
me.
IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL: I used to think it was completely
empty, but I'm seeing what's inside rise by inches. It might be
half-full
soon.
WHAT'S IN YOUR ANXIETY CLOSET: A world of emptiness and loss.
WHAT'S YOUR LOFTIEST DREAM: to be the man my mother wanted me
to be. To
save someone from the abuses that I suffered.
WHAT'S YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE: That they can't be saved.
WHAT DO YOU WISH PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT YOU THAT YOU FEEL THEY DON'T:
That I'm
capable. That I can sing.
WHAT OTHER HH CHARACTER WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ANSWER THIS QUESTIONNAIRE:
Lord Edrington. But he'd never do it.
