I'm between classes and have the first free time I've had in a while! Hooray! Now I shall fritter it all away on fluff...
1. If you had 3 wishes, what would you wish for? Health and safety for my family, a plane ticket to Indiana, and a sandwich.
2. If you could talk to anyone, past or present, who, and why? I'd like to talk to C.S. Lewis. The man is brilliant, and I'd love to talk old books with him.
3. If you met someone from another planet, what 3 things would you show him/her/it first? Yellowstone Park, art museums in Paris, and really good earth cookin'.
4. If you could trade places with anyone else in the world, who, and why? I'm very content with who and where I am. I might wish to trade geographical places, but not identities.
5. If you could wake up in the morning with one new talent, skill, or ability, what? I'd love to be a good skiier. Actually, any improvement in my athletic abilities would be nice.
6. What would you like to be most famous for? Being a good Mom, writing good books. In that order.
7. How much money would it take to get you to eat a plate full of worms? I might do it if someone would pay my remaining tuition
8. If you could plan the dream you will have tonight, what would it be about? I like when I get to fly in my dreams. Either that or babies in the produce aisle.
9. If your reflection in the mirror talked back, what would it say? It would probably chide me on how I'm not living up to my potential. You know - the professor guilt speech.
10. If you could invent something (that hasn't been already), what would it be? A scholarly work ethic.
11. Where would you go if you could travel back in time? Medieval France.
12. You have to skip one meal every day. Which? Breakfast. Oh wait - I already do that.
13. Invent a game in a pool filled with JELL-O. I think anything involving having to dive through the Jello to the bottom would be cool. Hard to hold your breath for that long, though.
14. If you could change one thing about your appearance, what would it be? My shirt. Oh wait - I can change my shirt! Alright!
15. What's the greatest invention that hasn't been invented? My scholarly work ethic.
16. Would you rather be 4 ft tall, or 8 ft tall? 4 feet - so I could crawl into cool little spaces. Besides, being tall is only fun for so long.
17. Would you rather be super-smart, or super-athletic? Super smart. Because athletes have to retire when they're 35.
18. Would you rather be deaf, or blind? Hmm... I can still read if I'm deaf, and though music is a big loss, I think art would be a bigger loss.
19. Would you volunteer to be on the first mission to Mars? And how! Not that I'd be very practical, but I think Mars will need some good logos.
20. Would you rather be really good-looking and dumb, or really ugly and smart? Ugly and smart. Because everyone gets ugly eventually anyway, and I want to be able to muse about good books when I'm 90.
21. What's the bravest thing you ever did? Rescued my friend who was stuck in Geneva and couldn't get back into France through train scheduling and speaking a lot of worried French to officals.
22. What would you change your name to if you had to? I've toyed with the idea of dropping my last name and making my middle name my last name.
23. Would you rather: read people's minds, be invisible, fly like a bird, or blow things up anywhere with your thoughts? Fly! Not even a question.
24. If you went 300 years in the past, could you prove you were from the future? I think my dialect would say a lot. Though maybe I'd tell them all about the upgrades in OS 10.3 and that would convince them. Posts: 8504 | Registered: Aug 1999

1. If you had 3 wishes, what would you wish for?
Some amount of money, some fixes for some of the more annoying age-related stuff Diane and I are dealing with (that makes two - one for her and one for me.)
2. If you could talk to anyone, past or present, who, and why?
There are an awful lot of interesting people to choose from. Maybe Ben Franklin.
3. If you met someone from another planet, what 3 things would you show him/her/it first?
Infomercials, Reality shows, and Episode 1 of Star Wars. To convince him/her/it we aren't worth conquering or assimilating.
4. If you could trade places with anyone else in the world, who, and why?
I really can't think of anyone I want to trade with. I worked pretty hard to end up with the life I have.
5. If you could wake up in the morning with one new talent, skill, or ability, what?
State of the art web construction - I know it's learnable, but I don't have the time.
6. What would you like to be most famous for?
My work.
7. How much money would it take to get you to eat a plate full of worms?
What are you offering?
8. If you could plan the dream you will have tonight, what would it be about?
Something light, involving fun and adventures. Anything but work.
9. If you're reflection in the mirror talked back, what would it say?
"Sheesh, ever hear of making eye contact?"

A teleportation device.

Travelling with Lewis & Clark might be appealing.
12. You have to skip one meal every day. Which?
Breakfast. It's the one I skip now.
13. Invent a game in a pool filled with JELL-O.
I'm thinking a shuffleboard variation might work here...
14. If you could change one thing about your appearance, what would it be?
At the moment, my weight. I could stand to lose about 25 lbs. But since I could do that and I haven't, I must not want to change it all that much.
15. What's the greatest invention that hasn't been invented?
How do I know until it comes along?
16. Would you rather be 4 ft tall, or 8 ft tall?
Nature already made me much closer to the 4 ft mark than the 8 ft mark. So 4 ft would probably be more comfortable.
17. Would you rather be super-smart, or super-athletic?
I don't have any experience with being athletic, and limited experience with being smart - I'll stick with smart.
18. Would you rather be deaf, or blind?
In my case, deafness would probably be easier to adjust to than blindness, although I'd deal with either.

No.
20. Would you rather be really good-looking and dumb, or really ugly and smart?
Nature already kind of made this choice for me.

Probably my first protest I went to where civil disobedience and arrest were real possibilities.
22. What would you change your name to if you had to?
Don't know - I really haven't a clue.
23. Would you rather: read people's minds, be invisible, fly like a bird, or blow things up anywhere with your thoughts?
I think I'd go with reading thoughts. It could be really useful.
24. If you went 300 years in the past, could you prove you were from the future?
I'd probably only succeed in proving I'm annoying - a skill I've mastered in the present.

1. If you had 3 wishes, what would you wish for? I know you're supposed to say things like "happiness" but I think that I'm pretty much happy with my life except that I'd like more money. So I guess I'd wish for enough money to pay off my debts and then give the other two wishes to someone who needs them more. Or at least, that's what I say now. Who knows what I'd actually do in that situation?
2. If you could talk to anyone, past or present, who, and why? I don't know what I'd talk about with some famous person, so I think I'd like to talk to my friend Raiden, because we always have awesome talks.
3. If you met someone from another planet, what 3 things would you show him/her/it first? I guess the first things I'd show it would be my apartment, my apartment complex, and my car. That would get us on our way to seeing interesting stuff.
4. If you could trade places with anyone else in the world, who, and why? Can't think of anyone.
5. If you could wake up in the morning with one new talent, skill, or ability, what? I really wish I had the discipline to write my novels, but I wouldn't want to wake up one day with any new abilities. It'd feel like cheating.
6. What would you like to be most famous for? I would love to be a famous novelist. Barring that, a famous columnist would be nice.
7. How much money would it take to get you to eat a plate full of worms? I dunno. I mean, for $500 I'd give it a shot, but I don't know if I'd get through it. Probably even less than that.
8. If you could plan the dream you will have tonight, what would it be about? You know, I'd like to say something cool and meaningful, but if I'm being honest, I probably have to say sex. (Is that too over the top?)
9. If you're reflection in the mirror talked back, what would it say? "Dude, you can't wear white socks with that."
10. If you could invent something (that hasn't been already), what would it be? Well, I'd love to invent something really useful, like a working fusion reactor, but I doubt that'd be possible for me. I think I'll stick to my current electronics projects instead, and hope they make me some money.
11. Where would you go if you could travel back in time? About an hour ago, so I could enjoy that sandwich all over again.
12. You have to skip one meal every day. Which? Breakfast, as I skip it anyway.
13. Invent a game in a pool filled with JELL-O. This is not a question, really. Besides, why should I invent a Jello game when so many great ones already exist?
14. If you could change one thing about your appearance, what would it be? What do I look like, a girl?
15. What's the greatest invention that hasn't been invented? If it hasn't been invented yet, how the heck should I know?
16. Would you rather be 4 ft tall, or 8 ft tall? Probably 8 feet tall. Because then I'd be in the NBA.
17. Would you rather be super-smart, or super-athletic? Super smart. Even though that would mean I'd have no friends.
18. Would you rather be deaf, or blind? Tough call. I love music so I wouldn't want to give that up, but seeing the world and its beauty is something that is also important to me. I dunno, deaf, I guess. At least I'd be able to hear when someone is behind me.
19. Would you volunteer to be on the first mission to Mars? No. I'd get horribly space-sick.
20. Would you rather be really good-looking and dumb, or really ugly and smart? I'd be ugly and smart. And if it ever bugged me too much that I was ugly, I'd just get cosmetic surgery.
21. What's the bravest thing you ever did? I can't think of a time when I ever felt particularly brave.
22. What would you change your name to if you had to? Definitely not John Saxon. Nope.
23. Would you rather: read people's minds, be invisible, fly like a bird, or blow things up anywhere with your thoughts? Um... None of these sounds particularly attractive to me.
24. If you went 300 years in the past, could you prove you were from the future? I doubt it. Even if I were able to recreate some modern-day gadget, or recall some historical event, they'd probably just call me a witch and burn me at the stake.

The cure for cancer. 16. 4-foot tall, definitely! 17. I'd rather be super-competent, but super-smart would be handy. 18. Deaf. 19. Yes, without a doubt. 20. I'm already ugly, but add smart to it if ya can! 21. Talking a drunk out of shooting another fellow at the boarding house I moved into after I graduated from high school. The drunk (who had mental problems) was certain the other guy was the one who had sent him to jail a long time ago. I still wonder if that was a boarding house or a half-way house. Either way, it's never fun looking down the barrel of a cheap, pawn shop pistol. 22. I like mine just fine. 23. Out of the list, invisible at will would be nice. Permanently invisibe, no thanks. 24. Who cares? All of my jokes would be new! What an audience!

1. The question to Life, the Universe, and Everything; a lifetime free pass to any theatrical movie I wanted; and a bigger bladder.
2. Herodotus. I'd ask him why he insisted on using the imperfect and the aorist in the same sentence to refer to the same things.
3. Grass, a book, and a movie.
4. I don't think I would; I'm pretty happy where I am.
5. Dude, telepathy would rock, provided I could control it. Especially during finals week...
6. Getting lost in a black hole.
7. $10. What can I say, I'm cheap.
8. <response edited for decency> Guess.
9. "F*** you too, mon ami!"
10. A good script for Episode III.
11. Ancient Egypt at the time of the Greek conquest.

19. Fo'sho'. In fact, I already have! Except not.

1. If you had 3 wishes, what would you wish for?
A new house for my Mom, a contract to write books for me, and an end to terrorism. (And no, I've never been in a beauty pageant - I just really hate terrorism.)
2. If you could talk to anyone, past or present, who, and why?
Michelangelo. He was brilliant, and difficult, and he intrigues me.
3. If you met someone from another planet, what 3 things would you show him/her/it first?
The Grand Canyon, London, and Carlsbad Caverns.
4. If you could trade places with anyone else in the world, who, and why?
I honestly can't think of anyone else I'd like to be.
5. If you could wake up in the morning with one new talent, skill, or ability, what?

6. What would you like to be most famous for?
Being an insightful writer.
7. How much money would it take to get you to eat a plate full of worms?
There is not that much money in the world. I'd never get through the whole plate anyway - weak stomach.
8. If you could plan the dream you will have tonight, what would it be about?
I wouldn't - most of the fun of dreaming is being surprised by your dreams.
9. If you're reflection in the mirror talked back, what would it say?
"Don't be so hard on yourself."
10. If you could invent something (that hasn't been already), what would it be?
Something like the holodeck in "Star Trek".
11. Where would you go if you could travel back in time?
Florence, Italy, during Michelangelo's lifetime. There was so much artistic and intellectual activity there at that time; it would amazing to see that.
12. You have to skip one meal every day. Which?
Dinner. I often do anyway.
13. Invent a game in a pool filled with JELL-O.
Eeewwwww.
14. If you could change one thing about your appearance, what would it be?
I would have a smaller, um, butt.
15. What's the greatest invention that hasn't been invented?
Didn't you already ask this? See Question # 10.
16. Would you rather be 4 ft tall, or 8 ft tall?
4 ft. tall. Makes it easier to hide.
17. Would you rather be super-smart, or super-athletic?
Super-smart.
18. Would you rather be deaf, or blind?
Blind. I could learn Braille and there are talking books. But I couldn't handle not being able to hear music again.
19. Would you volunteer to be on the first mission to Mars?
Heck, yeah. In fact, when I was a child I was convinced I would be the first human woman on Mars.
20. Would you rather be really good-looking and dumb, or really ugly and smart?
Really ugly and smart. No question. I know people who are really good-looking and dumb, and I wouldn't want to be them.
21. What's the bravest thing you ever did?
What, me brave? Seriously, probably going off to England only knowing two people in the whole country.
22. What would you change your name to if you had to?
I'd keep my middle name (which I've always really liked), but I'd get rid of my first name and maybe take Alison instead. Maybe. I don't know why - I've just always liked that name.
23. Would you rather: read people's minds, be invisible, fly like a bird, or blow things up anywhere with your thoughts?
Be invisible. People's minds are too messy for me to want to be able to read them, but if I were invisible I could find out all kinds of good stuff. I don't have any desire to blow things up, and flying like a bird just doesn't intrigue me that much - and anyway, I do that in my dreams fairly regularly.
24. If you went 300 years in the past, could you prove you were from the future?
Don't think so, and I wouldn't want to anyway. The game would be to see if I could blend in.

3. If you met someone from another planet, what 3 things would you show him/her/it first? I'm assuming here that they came here so they are already technologically advanced enough as to be unimpressed with ours. Perhaps Koyaanisqatsi, a university or office place and a happy family.
