As a Wall, I have very little practical need for fashion. But my librarian friends have told me that there’s a lot of library resources all about fashion that might help you find out your favorite fashion designer. https://bit.ly/fashionsources. I’ve also been told that fashion is about self-expression which means that I would probably lean towards clean and simple fashion designers since I find lines, glass, and minimalist color appealing (as you know I am in a committed relationship with the lobby doors and very much like their style).
Will you bring back the dogs on the wall?
That’s a great idea! I’ll tell my assistants to get on the pet program.
You seem like an enneagram 5 to me. What type do you think you are? Im a 1 :)
That is very kind! I will need to read up on this topic but 5’s do sound very cool… “The Investigator” is something I can get on board with. Pun intended!
I Love you wall!
What’s your favorite wall-centered idiom?
“Good fences make good neighbors”, though I’m not sure the poet would agree with my reading. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44266/mending-wall
What a time we’ve had these past 7 years!
Do you want to be my discord MOD?
Thanks for trusting me with such an important job, but I’m really dependent on my helpers for anything digital.
What’s your favorite pickup line?
“I don’t have a tv either.” The human I know who used this has been with their human since 1977.
Top 3 walls?
Berlin Wall (RIP), The Wall (?), Hadrian’s Wall
Top Lists are hard to do without offending someone. I’m very fond of the Great Wall (a distant relative of mine) and hope I last as long. https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/?s=%22great+wall%22
Wall lore?
We tend to be strong and supportive (though sometimes divisive), and our legends and traditions uphold these values. We look up to our heroes, like The Great One. We tell tales of valor, like when my Mom, who is a seawall, bravely faced down The Perfect Storm of 1991…
Wall, have you ever been in love?
Oh yes! I am totally head over heels (not that I have either of those) in love with Lobby Door. After all this time together, I never tire of them.
What is your major/concentration wall?
Wall, how long is your response time?
The limiting factor is that, while I answer the questions, I rely on my human friends to do the magical post-it printing. I live here, but they tend to go home. I try my best to have them post my answers the next day, or after a weekend. Sometimes we all need to do a bit of research or think on a question for longer, though.
Hi wall, is your favorite movie Wall-E?
It’s a great movie with a powerful message (and an 8.4 rating on IMDB and a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes).
What type of question is most frequently asked?
It depends a little on the time of the semester, but I do seem to give a lot of relationship advice.
How many questions has the wall answered in its history? What’s your favorite question you’ve ever been asked?
You’re number 6245. Ask me again another day about my favorite question and I’ll say something different, but today I’ll say: “How do I seduce Baldwin?”
How did you get your magical powers to be able to answer our questions?
I spend all my time in a library with millions of volumes of the accumulated knowledge of the world. I also have helpers throughout the BC Libraries (and beyond) who do research for me and multilingual helpers who translate questions for me.
How do you print on a sticky note?? Tutorial? Follow up: what font do you use?
My helpers say it involves a Word document with some Post-It-sized text blocks and some fiddling with a fussy printer. The font is Courier, because we wanted typewriter vibes.
What is your spirit animal?
I won’t call it a “spirit animal” since this is an important concept in cultures of which I am not a member. However, I will say that I have an odd fondness for wallabies, walleyes and the extinct spring snail, Wallaua flexiplicata .
What Is Your Favorite Pizza Type?
Mine is sausage
Sausage sounds delightful. As a wall, I can’t actually eat, but I find those pizza boxes endlessly amusing – especially the ones with the “pizza savers”(http://bit.ly/ZaTable).
