pascual_del_mar 's questions:
1.) If you could share one thing about yourself with people about your personality what would it be?
What many people often see as abrasive or arrogant or bravado on my part is usually a defense mechanism to hide my self esteem issues, and my desire to be accepted by pretty much everyone.
2.) If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go?
Europe. More specifically, the British Isles. I want to see England and Scotland and Ireland.
3.) If you could be any TV or movie SciFi Character who would you be and why?
Yoda. He is as wise as buddha, often speaks in riddles, and kicks ass with a lightsaber!
4.) If you could be anyone in the world who would you choose to be other than yourself?
This one has me completely stumped. I've never thought about what it would be like to be someone else. Sorry to not satisfy the answer to this...I honestly am drawing a total blank for now. I'll get back to you on this.
5.) If you were to win the lottery how would you spend the money? (assume winning 100 million after taxes)
Buy all of my friends and family lavish gifts, create trust funds for the college educations of their various children, get my mom the Mercedes she's always wanted, travel to Europe and Japan and anywhere else I want to visit (possibly bring some of my friends, too)...and quit working a day job and write full time - maybe start my own publishing company and avoid the middlemen. :-)

Date: 2005-10-10 03:26 pm (UTC)I'd probably still be living in NJ, working tech support at Bristol Myers, fencing every week w/ you and the gang (and probably still sucking at it), and generally doing much what I was before I moved. Not a bad life, really.
2. If you could get away with one completely out-of-character act, what would you do?
Hm, I don't know. What would be out of character for me that I'd actually want to do? I know things I'd like to do that I can't bc of physical limitations, like, say, astronaut training--but that's perfectly in character for me, it's just not possible (I get queasy on motion simulator rides intended for children).
3. If you had unlimited resources, what is the most extravagant item you would purchase?
A castle. In France, maybe. Or England. Or I'd have one built here. :)
4. Is there anything in particular that you could have done, that you wish you had?
I wish I had not ignored history, growing up. I wish I'd told the school district my junior year that I'd be homeschooled. I wish I had learned earlier to hold my temper. I wish I'd broken more rules so I could have been a better teacher. I wish I'd gotten my ass in gear and been a better fencer.
5. Do you consider quizzes like this to be interesting, or mostly silly?
Mostly silly, but you know, it's an ego stroke. People like to talk abotu themselves.

Date: 2005-10-10 05:06 pm (UTC)2-Chai would be an acceptable drink, and eeck I don't know what else-I never thought about it. Ok, actually I did but I forgot the one I came up with.
3-I'm not sure-maybe that I'm more hyper then I show now because I've gotten ragged on it soo much by my local shire that I now hide it too well.
4-Musicals-from movies rather then stage. Or anything with a really fast beat.
5-Scotland-to look for my ancestors lands and history.
Curiosity and cats

Date: 2005-10-12 03:26 pm (UTC)2. If you had an amazing day, and managed to win crown - what would be some of your whims?
3. Is there anything that you wish that you had done when you had the chance, but didn't?
4. If you could purchase a single, ludicrously expensive item - what would you buy?
5. Do you think that, in their own way, trees have sentience and thoughts?
Re: Curiosity and cats
Date: 2005-10-12 03:56 pm (UTC)My other favorite is Sassafras, because it used to be used as a real spice and the leaves are just really cool. Each tree has three different leaf shapes; simple, mitten, and what I like to call barbed spear point. If memory serves the leaves smell good when crushed as well, but it has been a few years since I've played with the leaves.
2. Chocolate would count as period. I also had this nutsoid idea that in the Royal encampment there would be small benches with sheep cozies on them. So that the people who came into my presence would have to sit on sheep for their order meetings. It was and idea that I liked that we bandied about for when someone from LL wins. Really it is too silly to actually do, but was fun to think about.
3. I wish I had taken a year off between my MS and appling for Ph.D. programs. I also wish I had applied for Ph.D. programs in Sweden, Finland, Australia, and England. My grades were good enough. The reasons I didn't were, in the current light, dumb.
4. A sculpture or three by Leonard DeLonga. He was my sculpture prof at MHC and was very helpful in breaking me out of my shell. I also like his theories on art and art education. Even at the rate his former TAs get from his wife, I can't afford even the smallest piece.
5. Yes, I firmly, and kinda superstitiously believe, that trees have a form of sentience and that you can experience it when they clump into forests.
