grinninfooleYeah, it's a meme. Sorry.
The rules:
1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.
I bit on this post, so here are my answers.
1) how long have you worn glasses and what do you wear them for?
Since fourth grade. I got them because I couldn't read the black board from the back of the room. Thirty years later, my vision has worsened, though not dramatically in the past decade. However, last summer I noticed some I had trouble focusing on things up close when I took my specs off. So, probably I'll be in bifocals by the time I'm 50. Which isn't so long from now.
2) what's the one food you could eat every day of your life in some quantity and never be sick of?
I played the violin as a child. I was harder than I felt like dealing with, so I never got very good, and then gave it up. I'm a wimp about music. I have trouble getting myself to sing, and I feel awkward about Rock Band, for god's sake.
5) if for some odd reason you were banished on pain of death from MA, where would you go?
Wow. Great question.
It would depend on whether M is going with me. If she is, there are a lot of places we might try: we've talked about living in France or Mexico for a few years, and that would certainly be an opportune moment to give that a shot.
On my own? I really don't know. A big city, I think. Maybe New York? London? Maybe someplace where I could go back to school.

2) what's the one food you could eat every day of your life in some quantity and never be sick of?
Onions and/or garlic. Ten years ago, I would have said chocolate, too, but my palate has changed. Now I enjoy eating oranges, but I hated them as a child.
3) What was your first bit of fanfic?This, actually. I didn't even consider writing fanfic until Millari plunged in first. What really inspired me, though, was when she joined a community, and they needed someone to address some pressing questions that everyone else had simply ignored.
4) have you ever or have you ever wanted to play an instrument?I played the violin as a child. I was harder than I felt like dealing with, so I never got very good, and then gave it up. I'm a wimp about music. I have trouble getting myself to sing, and I feel awkward about Rock Band, for god's sake.
